1.4. Main Features
Very Large LCD Display
A large LCD screen provides an efficient inter-
face for displaying, monitoring and adjusting
the parameters.
3 Controller Programs
The controller allows using 3 different pro-
grams to control the room temperature. It is
thus possible to activate a specific program,
that uses particular temperature settings,
in accordance with the animal age for in-
stance.
Status LEDs
Pilot lights that indicate the status of the
controller outputs are located on the faceplate
of the controller. These LEDs allow monitor-
ing the system’s operation without having to
enter the building.
Minimum Ventilation Cycle
When ventilation is not required to reduce
the room temperature, fan outputs can run
either continuously or intermittently to re-
duce humidity levels and supply oxygen to
the room.
8 Indoor Temperature Sensors
Up to eight temperature sensors can be con-
nected to the controller to obtain an accurate
reading of the average room temperature and
a faster reaction time.
Natural Ventilation Curtains
The controller can open 2 natural ventilation
curtains and stop all ventilation when the
outside temperature is sufficiently warm.
Tunnel Ventilation
When the room temperature rises, tunnel
ventilation reduces the actual temperature
perceived by the animals.
Humidity Control
The inside and outside relative humidity
sensors allow controlling humidity levels in
the room.
0-10V Output
The controller has 2 internal 0-10V outputs.
The first 0-10V output can either be used
to control an air inlet or variable-speed fans
and the second output can control lighting
equipment.
Control Of The Air Inlet Movement
The movement of vent doors (inlets) can be
coordinated with the operation of the fans
using a potentiometer located on the panel
drive or a timer. This allows the vent doors
(inlets) to be adjusted correctly, without the
influence of uncontrollable factors such as
wind or air from adjoining rooms
History Menus
History menus allow monitoring the sensor
readings and verify the run time of some out-
puts. The controller comes with the following
histories menus:
• Minimum & maximum sensor readings:
Ambient temperature ...............60 days
Inside temperature sensors ...... 10 days
Outside temperature sensor ..... 75 days
Inside humidity sensor ............. 75 days
Outside humidity sensor .......... 75 days
Static pressure sensor ............. 75 days
• Run time of each heater .......... 75 days
• Run time of each feeder ........... 75 days
• Daily water consumption ......... 75 days
Alarm Management
The controller provides alarms for high-low
temperatures, defective sensors and other
system failures. It keeps in memory the 20
most recent alarm conditions.
Password Protection
A password can be enabled to restrict access
to the setup functions of the controller.
Backup Battery
A backup battery allows the unit to keep time
in case of a power failure.
Overload And Overvoltage Protection
Resettable fuses are provided at low-voltage
inputs of the controller to protect its circuitry
in the case of an overload or overvoltage.
Computer Control
The controller can be connected to a com-
puter, thus making it possible to centralize
the management of information and diversify
control strategies.
Test Mode
A test mode allows you to simulate tem-
perature changes and verify controller per-
formances.
2. MOUNTING INSTRUC-
TIONS
2.1. Installing the Controller
on the Wall
Fasten the two metal brackets on the mount-
ing holes located behind the controller using
six screws. Then, mount the enclosure on
the wall using four other screws. Leave a
clearance of at least 16” to the left of the
enclosure to allow the cover to be removed
for maintenance.
2.2. Connections
2.2.1. Main Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
user’s manual to connect the controller. Drill
holes at the bottom of the enclosure to pass
the wires and install watertight connectors to
prevent water from entering in the enclosure.
Do not make any holes at the side and top of
the enclosure.
All wiring must be done by an autho-
rized electrician and must comply with
applicable codes, laws and regulations.
Make sure power is off before doing any
wiring to avoid electrical shocks and
equipment damage.
