Precautions

WARNING:  Read  and  save  these  in-
structions!

Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment is 
used in a manner not specified by the manu-
facturer. Carefully read and keep the following 
instructions for future reference.

We strongly recommend installing supplemen-
tary  natural  ventilation  as  well  as  a  backup 
thermostat on at least one cooling stage.

Although fuses at the input and outputs of 
the controller protect its circuits in case of 
an overload or over-voltage, we recommend 
installing an additional protection device on 
the controller’s supply circuit.

The room temperature where the controller 
is located must always remain between 32°F 
and 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Indoor use only!

To avoid exposing the controller to harmful 
gases or excessive  humidity, it is preferable 
to install it in a corridor.

If  the  equipment  is  used  in  a  manner  not 
specified  by  the  manufacturer,  the  protec-
tion  provided  by  the  equipment  may  be 
impaired.

Do  not  spray  water  on  the  controller!  In 
order  to  clean  the  control,  wipe  it  with  a 
damp cloth.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch 
power off at service panel and lock the 
switch disconnecting means to prevent 
power from being switched accidentally. 
When the service disconnecting means 
cannot  be  locked,  securely  fasten  a 
prominent  warning  device,  such  as  a 
tag, to the service panel.

Features

The  INTER  2V4SA  is  an  electronic  device 
used for environmental control in livestock 
buildings.  It  allows  the  user  to  maintain  a 
specified  target  temperature  by  controlling 
the operation of ventilation and heating equip-
ment. The controller can control two stages 
of  variable  speed  fans  and  two  stages  of 
either constant-speed fans or heating units. 
In  addition,  one  of  the  constant-speed  fan 
stages can be configured as a mist cooling 
stage.

Five-digit display:

 

A  five-digit  display  provides  a  high  level 
of accuracy, allowing the user to specify a 
temperature to within one tenth of a degree 
(in Fahrenheit or Celsius units).

Pilot lights: 

Pilot  lights  indicating  the  state  of  outputs 
allow  the  user  to  monitor  the  operation 
of  the  system  without  having  to  enter  the 
building.

Minimum ventilation cycles: 

When ventilation is not required for cooling, 
the first stage fans can be operated either 
continuously or intermittently to reduce the 
level of humidity and supply oxygen to the 
room.

Ramping functions:

Ramping  functions  provide  an  automatic 
adjustment  of  the  set  point  and  minimum 
ventilation  fan  speed  over  a  given  period 
of time. 

Choice of 10 motor types:

The variation in motor speed resulting from a 
change in voltage will depend on the make and 
capacity of the motor. In order to achieve a high 
degree of compatibility between controller and 
motor, the user can choose from among ten 
different motor types, thus ensuring that the 
correct voltage is supplied.

i) These initial parameter settings will not be re-
tained in the controller's memory. Each new setting 
will replace the preceding one.

ii) If the power supply is cut off, the last parameter 
settings will be retained in memory until the power 
is restored.
