8. LIGHTS
The controller has one 0-10V output that
can be used to control the light intensity.
Additional lights can also be connected to
On/Off relays: these lights simply turn on
when the 0-10V lights reach a user-defined
intensity. Refer to section 4.5 to enable light
programs and refer to section 4.8 to enable
on/off light relays.
Light Programs:
The controller can use 10 dif-
ferent light programs containing 6 daily light
cycles each. The same program is performed
every day until another program replaces it
(the program selection is made according to
the age of the animals).
Light Cycles:
Up to 6 different light cycles can
be performed in the course of a light program.
These cycles are used to change the light
intensity over the day (see graph below).
Light Peaks:
A light peak is a marked increase
in the light intensity. They are used to stimu-
late the animals. When light peaks are used,
they are performed right after the sunrise, at
the very beginning of the cycle. They are then
performed on a regular basis, according to a
user-defined timer.

2. Set the following parameters:
Day —
This is the day at which the selected
program starts. It can be set from -5 to 450
days. Negative day values are used to prepare
the house before letting the animals enter
the building.
Lights on 24 Hours —
Select
“Yes”
for lights
to stay lit all day long; select
“No”
to use
light cycles.
Maximum Intensity —
If the “lights on 24
hours” option is enabled above, set the maxi-
mum light intensity to the desired value. *
This
parameter is accessible if the “Lights on 24 hours”
option is enabled above.
Minimum Intensity —
Set the light intensity
that is used when light cycles are off. Adjust-
able from 0% (Off) to 100%.*
This parameter
is accessible if the “lights on 24 hours” option is
disabled above.
Sunrise —
When a cycle starts, the light
intensity increases from its minimum to
its maximum intensity over this delay (see
previous graph). Set the sunrise delay to the
desired value (from 1 to 60 minutes). *
This
parameter is accessible if the “lights on 24 hours”
option is disabled above.
Sunset —
When the stop time of a light
cycle is reached, the light intensity gradually
decreases from its maximum to its minimum
intensity over this delay (see previous graph).
Set the sunset delay to the desired value (from
1 to 60 minutes). *
This parameter is accessible if
the “lights on 24 hours” option is disabled above.
Number of Cycles —
Select how many cycles
must be performed during the selected light
program. Adjustable from 1 to 6 cycles. *
This
parameter is accessible if the “lights on 24 hours”
option is disabled above.
Cycle Selection —
Select the desired light
cycle. The following parameters are related
to this cycle: *
This parameter is accessible if the
“lights on 24 hours” option is disabled above.
Start Time —
Set the time at which the se-
lected cycle starts. Make sure light cycles
never overlap each other. *
This parameter
is accessible if the “lights on 24 hours” option is
disabled above.
Stop Time—
Set the time at which the light
intensity starts decreasing (sunset). *
This
parameter is accessible if the “lights on 24 hours”
option is disabled above.
