Radiant heaters used as brooders can have their own dedicated sensors. These do not affect the average
temperature reading. If a static pressure sensor is used, it must be connected to one of the analog inputs
in place of a humidity sensor.
1. Temperature Zone Sensors A, B, C, D, E and F
:
Install on any of temperature inputs, 1 through
6. When partial house brooding, reduce the number of zones to exclude sensors not in the brood
area. Otherwise, sensors in the grow end will cause erroneous readings.
2. Outside Temperature Sensor
:
Install one of the temperature inputs, 1 through 6. Ensure that the
outside sensor has protection from direct sun and hot air currents from the poultry/animal house.
Proper placement and shielding is important to successful outside temperature measurement.
3. Humidity Zone Sensors A, B and C: Install on any analog inputs, 1 through 3.
4. Outside Humidity Sensor: Install on analog input 2 (Out Hum. - 16).
5. Internal pressure sensor: Define as analog input 4.
NOTE:
If external pressure sensor RPS-1 is used, connect it to terminal 17 (Pres. Sens.) and define as
Analog Input 3.

Enter minimum opening percentage for each curtain.
•
The curtain table defines curtain levels for up to five curtains (4 natural & 1 tunnel curtains) at
natural ventilation levels.
•
When in natural mode the tunnel curtain operates as a natural curtain.
•
When entering tunnel ventilation mode, the side curtains are closed and the tunnel curtain opens
to the minimum % defined in the table. If static pressure increases, the tunnel opens accordingly.
•
Exhaust fans may cause curtains to cling to the wiring mesh. For this reason, system variable 23
can allow the
AC-2000
to turn off the fans (all eight groups) if the curtains need to move at small
openings. System variable 29 enables a static pressure/curtain movement interlock in case a
curtain (relay codes 37 and 38) controls static pressure. The
AC-2000
can then turn off the fans
while adjusting the curtain to achieve the desired static pressure.
NOTE:
For Menus 96 – 98, refer to the User Manual.
