14.3. Update/Backup Process
The USB drive allows upgrading the fi rmware
or software of your controller. The USB drive
can also be used to make a backup of your
controller settings or to copy these settings
on another controller of the same type.
Turn off power each time you open the
controller’s enclosure. This prevents acci-
dental exposure to areas of high voltage.
1. Turn off power to the controller.
2. Lift the latches to open the front door of
the controller.

cover, use a
fl at head screwdriver to loosen
the two locks and lift it.

1. MemoryCard -> Control
Choose 1. MemoryCard -> Control to load
a new con fi guration fi le into your controller.
This transfer will update your controller’s
software and parameter settings.
When selecting this option, a list of all con-
fi guration fi les located on the card is displayed
(*.DMP fi les). Select the desired fi le and then
simultaneously press the ADJUSTMENT
up- and down-arrow keys to start the transfer.
Note that the controller can only read
the
fi les that are located at the root of
the USB drive. It cannot access any
sub-directory!
2. Control -> MemoryCard
Choose 2. Control -> MemoryCard to save
your controller settings on the USB drive.
The saving process will start as soon as you
enter this menu.
The controller will create a new CONTROL-
LER~1.DMP
fi le at the root of the USB drive.
If this fi le name already exists, it will be saved
under a different name (“CONTROLLER~2.
DMP” for instance). This way, the controller
will never erase a
fi le on the card.
3. Update Firmware
Choose 3. Update Firmware to download a
new fi rmware fi le into your controller. This
process will not affect your parameter set-
tings.
When selecting this option, a list of all
fi rmware fi les located on the USB drive is
displayed (*.PKG fi les). Select the desired fi le
and then simultaneously press the ADJUST-
MENT up- and down-arrow keys to start the
transfer
Note that the controller can only read
the
fi les that are located at the root of
the USB drive. It cannot access any
sub-directory!
4. Save Event Buffer
Choose 4. Save Event Buffer to save the event
buffer of the controller on your USB drive. The
fi le will have a *.txt extension.
5. Save History Log
Choose 5. Save History Log to save the hourly
reading of every probe input measured in the
past 190 days on your USB drive. The
fi le will
have a *.CSV extension and will need to be
imported in Microsoft Excel.
To get instructions showing how to import
a CSV
fi le in Microsoft Excel, type " Import
CSV fi les in Excel" in the Excel Help window
(Press F1 ).
Press and hold the up and down
MENU SELECT buttons for 5 seconds
to exit from the transfer menu.
Remove the USB drive from the
connector when the transfer is over!

brooder heater is on.
Allow purge? — By default, the controller
automatically disables the curtain purge
when using the interlock function. Select
"Yes"
if you purge cycles to continue within
that mode.
Use Cooling? — The controller can control
one cooling output. Select
“Yes”
to enable
this output.
Use Stir Fan? — The controller can control
one stir fan output. Select
“Yes”
to enable
this output.
Use Soaking? — The controller can control
one soaking output. Select
“Yes”
to enable
this output.
Variable-Speed Fan Minimum Speed — Set
the absolute minimum fan speed of each
variable fan outputs (this speed does not
apply to the minimum ventilation cycles and
to stage 1). *
This parameter is accessible if the
variable outputs are enabled above.
Motor Curve — The relationship between the
voltage supplied to a motor and its operating
speed is described by a motor curve. This
curve varies with the make and capacity of
the motor. The various motors available in the
industry have been divided into ten categories
and the controller has been programmed with
a different motor curve for each of these
categories. To ensure that the controller
supplies the correct voltages, an appropri-
ate curve must be selected according to the
type of fan motors used. The table at the
back of the installation guide enclosed with
your controller gives the motor curves used
by the different type of fans. Set this curve
separately for each variable output in use.
Use Outdoor Temperature Compensation on
Variable Stages 1 and 2 ?—
Select "Yes" to
use the outside temperature compensation
function to in
fl uence the bandwidth of vari-
able fan outputs. *
This parameter is accessible
if the outside temperature sensor is enabled (see
sec. 4.7.1.)
Digit Display — Select the information to be
displayed on the red LED display:
T° average temperature
SP static pressure
T°/SP avg temperature & static pressure
T°/I1 avg temperature & inlet position
SP/I1 static pressure & inlet position
4.5. RH Compensation
Setup
The controller offers different ways to com-
pensate for high and low relative humidity
(RH) levels in the barn. This section shows
how to enable the desired RH compensation
functions. Refer to chapter 9 of this manual
to get more information about each of these
compensation methods.
1. Select:

»
5. RH Compensation*
* This menu is accessible if the humidity probe is
enabled (sec. 4.7.1).
RH Compensation
Minimum Vent ? Yes
Heater ? Yes
Mist Shutoff ? Yes
Curtain purge only
on Hi RH ? No
Mist on Lo %RH? Yes
2. Enable or disable the following relative
humidity (RH) compensation options:
Minimum Ventilation — The controller can
compensate for high humidity levels by
increasing the minimum ventilation inten-
sity. Select
“Yes”
to use this compensation
method.
Heater — The controller can compensate for
high humidity levels by activating heating
outputs in timer mode. Select
“Yes”
to use
this compensation method.
Curtain Purge on Hi RH? — The curtain's
purge function can be enabled permanently
or it can exclusively be used when the RH
level is above the RH set point. Select
"Yes"
to use the purge function on high RH levels
only. *
Accessible if the Purge function is enabled in
the installation (see sec. 4.5). Refer to sec. 6.4.3 for
further information about this function.
Mist Shutoff — The controller can deactivate
the misting output when humidity levels are
too high. Select
“Yes”
to use this compensa-
tion method.
Mist on Low % RH — The controller can acti-
vate misting outputs when humidity levels are
too low. Select
“Yes”
to use this compensa-
tion method.
