Target –
Set the specific target temperature for each of the growout days. The target temperature
ramps between growout days.
(9)
Heat Adjust –
Set the specific heat adjustment for each of the growout days. A young flock requires
a tightly controlled and heated environment. As the flock grows older, heat is less important. The
Heat Adjust feature ramps between growout days and saves heating costs by allowing the heaters to
run less frequently and only turn on at cooler temperatures as the flock grows older. The Heat Adjust
is the set amount (-x.xº) below the heat stages ON point at which the heat stages will operate. Refer to
the following example charts and figures.
(10)
Tunnel Adjust –
Set the specific tunnel adjustment for each of the growout days. Older flocks
require a tightly controlled and more cooled environment. As the flock grows older, fan cooling is
more important. The Tunnel Adjust ramps between growout days and is the set amount (-x.xº) above
the tunnel temperature at which the controller will allow tunnel ventilation.
NOTE
: The ON point for all cool tunnel stages will also be increased by this amount.
Refer to the following example charts and figures.
(11)
Tunnel Fans –
The desired maximum number of Tunnel Fans which are allowed to turn On for the
specific growout day. This refers to stages programmed as Cool Negative Tunnel or Cool Tunnel.
(12)
Optimum Timers Base % –
Set the specific minimum vent run % for each of the growout days.
The Run % is the percentage of the Minimum Timer Cycle that the stage will run. This percentage
ramps between growout days.
(13)
Optimum Timers Active –
This setting is used in conjunction with the 8 optimum timers. In addition
to each stage being able to operate on a Min1, Min2, VAR, or Cool Timer, they now also have the
option of being programmed to use an Optimum Timer (OPTX). These are labeled as OPT1, OPT2,
…., OPT8. This setting relates to which of these OPTx timers are allowed to operate at this time.
The OPTx timer uses the optimum timer percentage that is calculated by the controller with the run%
being its minimum. This setting allows the user to add additional fans to their minimum ventilation as
the animals age or even change fans completely.
NOTE:
The following graphs and figure shows examples of how the EV Optimum Mode would adjust the
target, heat, and tunnel temperatures, minimum run %, and vent level based off of the growout
days and target temperatures.
