(1) There are other factors that will affect the quantity of animals each heater can cover. These include building
ventilation and control systems, building insulation, building size and population density, etc. Consult your L.B.
White dealer or call L.B. White for speci
fi
c recommendations for your application.
(2) This is a typical sensor height range for poultry installations. The size and type of livestock being grown, heater
spacing and height, etc. will dictate sensor height. Care should always be taken to ensure that the sensor is
suf
fi
ciently high as to not be damaged by the animal during operation.
