If the calibrate fails, an abort code will be displayed for one minute.
The abort codes and their meanings are:
Abort code “0”
– The calibration was canceled by pressing the
CANCEL
key.
Abort code “A”
– The change in the reading of the sensor is too small (less than 2 ohms per second).
Abort code “B”
– The pot in the sensor is not moving.
Abort code “C”
- The Close to Open Travel Time is less than 15 seconds.
Abort code “D”
– Open to Close Travel Time is less that 15 seconds.
When this menu item is set to YES, the controller activates the alarm relay and displays an active alarm menu item if
the expected device position is off by more than the Percent OUT of Position to Alarm setting (see below).
6. The controller updates the Full Open Time and Full Close Time menu items for the device the position sensor is
attached to.
POSITION SENSOR GROUP #1 SETTING Z1-S01
Travel Open to Close: 5:10
POSITION SENSOR GROUP #1 SETTING Z1-S01
Position Sensor not Calibrated: Reason :0
This setting has to be set to YES in order for the auto-correct feature of the position sensor and
inlet device to work. If this is set to NO, it’s the same as not having the position sensor installed.
POSITION SENSOR GROUP #1 SETTING Z1-S01
Enable Position Alarm? YES
Set this menu item to the percentage the expected device position needs to be off before an alarm will be activated.
This prevents false alarms when an inlet doesn’t move smoothly. This value can be set from 0% to 80%, where the
higher the percentage is, the farther the inlet has to be out of position before the controller will activate an alarm.
When setting this percentage, care should be taken to set it high enough to eliminate
nuisance alarms but low enough to alarm when the position is off enough to cause problems
with the animals.
POSITION SENSOR GROUP #1 SETTING Z1-S01
Percent OUT of Position to Alarm: 5.0%
Whether or not the alarm is enabled, if the expected device position (based on Open and Close
times) differs three or more seconds from the inlet’s current reading, the controller automatically
corrects the time-based position. If the Enable Position alarm is set to Yes and there are no active
position sensor alarms, then the position sensor reading is used to adjust the inlet. If the Enable
Position alarm is set to No, the internal inlet’s current reading is used to adjust the inlet.
