HEATING
ROOM HEATING
If there is unnecessarily much
ventilation in an animal house,
unnecessarily much additional
heating will be required as well.
Ensure that the minimum ventilation
setting is not too high and that the
difference between the room
temperature and the temperature at
which the heating is switched on is
sufficient.
Temperature setting
The temperature at which the room heating controls is relative to the room temperature, see page 11. You can
set the difference in temperature to the room temperature in this line.
Bandwidth
The bandwidth determines the 'sensitivity' of the heating. The heating is controlled from minimum to maximum
within the bandwidth. A short bandwidth will cause the heating to react to a fall or a rise in temperature very
quickly. This is not good for the climate in the house since it will result in too many ventilation fluctuations.
Maximum heating
You can use the "Maximum heating" setting to limit the maximum level of the controlled heating to a maximum
percentage.
Current temperature
A maximum of 4 temperature sensors can be assigned to the heating control. The current temperature is the
average of these temperature sensors. If a sensor is defective it will be left out of the average calculation and
the heating will continue to control on the basis of the remaining temperature sensors.
Current heating
This line shows the current heating status, On or Off. This line shows also the calculated current status/heating
capacity of the controlled heating. If -0% is calculated for the current heating, the drive signal generated will be
0V instead of the minimum voltage setting. This line is only shown with 0-10V controlled heating.
Growth curve
Pressing the confirmation key while the cursor is on
Growth curve temperature
will display the room heating
curve. You may change the curve settings or switch off the curve. Press the cancel key to return to the previous
window. If you have switched off the curve, the text 'growth curve' will be replaced by the standard text and
you can no longer access the relevant curve settings from this window (the curve is off).
Running hours
If you change the setting “Clear
running hours” to “yes”, the running
hours of the room heating of the
selected room number will be
cleared.
If the heating is an on/off controlled (not modulating) heating, you can get an overview of the running hours
(heating on time). Beside today's running hours, running hours of the last 7 days and the total number of hours
are shown.
