5 Digital Control System
The TLC Eco control system utilises a highly accurate, calibrated sensor for temperature. Be cautious of low cost
analogue or digital thermometers when comparing them with the brooder display readings.
5.1
NORMAL OPERATION – Temperature is continuously displayed.
The asterisk “*” adjacent to the temperature reading shows when the heater power is on. When warming
the asterisk will be continuously on, once warmed up the asterisk will slowly flash as the heater is pulsed
to maintain the correct temperature. When reducing the temperature setting the asterisk may go off, this is
normal.
5.2
CHANGING SETTINGS – The Main Menu allows the various settings to be modified and saved. All
changes are retained in the event of a power cut.
To access the Main Menu press the
+
and
–
buttons simultaneously to unlock the display. For full details
of menu settings please refer to the guide on page 3.
6 Temperature
Stable and correct temperature is essential for good results. Adjust with care.
6.1
Note: your brooder may not be set to the correct temperature from the factory and the following
procedure must be followed before introducing animals.
6.2
As the brooder warms up and approaches its control setting the heater on asterisk “*” will change from
continuously on to flashing. Allow the brooder to stabilise for at least an hour before adjusting the
temperature.
6.3
Press the - and + buttons simultaneously to unlock the main menu. Press OK to select the temperature
screen and adjust as necessary using the + and – buttons. Press OK to return to the Main Menu and then
scroll down to Save. Press OK to save the changes. When reducing temperature the asterisk may go out
while the brooder cools – this is normal.
6.4
Refer to the digital temperature display to check temperature. The display shows the air temperature in
increments of 0.1°.
6.5
The Display can be switched to show all temperature settings in degrees Fahrenheit. Press the - and +
buttons simultaneously to unlock the main menu. Scroll to the C/F option and press OK to select the C/F
display screen. Press the + button to select °F or the – button to select °C. Press OK to return to the Main
Menu and then scroll down to Save. Press OK to save the changes.
