  Adjusting the First and Fully Opened Tunnel Stages

The user must define at what fan stage the controller enters in the tunnel

ventilation mode. All fan stages that are activated after the first tunnel

stage are automatically considered as being tunnel stages. Note that fan

stages 1 and 2 cannot be tunnel stages

The stage at which the curtain is fully opened must be set if the curtains

are controlled by a moving time based on the stages' activation.

 Set the function to 

START / STOP

TEMPERATURE

 using the menu

select buttons. The start and stop

temperatures for Heater 8 are dis-

played and the Heater 8 LED on the right flashes.

 Use the output select buttons to select 

TUNNEL CURTAIN – OPEN

.

The corresponding LED on the right of the front panel flashes.

 Press Edit key. The first tunnel stage flashes. Use the arrow keys to

adjust the first tunnel stage to the desired value.

Press Edit key. The fully opened tunnel stage flashes. Use the arrow

keys to adjust the fully opened tunnel stage to the desired value.
Note that this menu only appears if the curtain operates according to a

moving time that is based on the stages' activation (see Controller

Setup).

Adjusting the Minimum Age

The minimum age is used to prevent tunnel ventilation from being used

when the animals are too young. The value ranges from 1 to 250 days. The

tunnel stages do not operate until the herd reaches this age.

Set the function to 

START/STOP TEMPERATURE

 using the menu se-

lect buttons. The start and stop temperatures for Heater 8 are dis-

played and the Heater 8 LED on the right flashes.

First stage:   6

100% opened:   10
