(Setup-General Screen) Digital Inputs Tab
Too access the Setup-General "Digital Inputs" Screen, press the Tab Key under
"Digital In". This screen is very similar to the Analog Inputs screen. In this screen the
Control is told what digital inputs (Water Meters, Feed Scales, Airspeed Sensor, Low
Water Pressure Switch, Flush Feed Back, Auger Run Time Alarm, etc.) are
connected to the Control and where those digital inputs are connected to the Control.
All digital or pulsed inputs that are connected to the Control must be assigned a board
number and an Input number. It is highly recommended that the Input Decal located
inside the main box of the Control be completed before entering information in this
screen.
1. Water Meter-All drinker water meters that are
connected to the Control needs the input it is
connected to assigned here. A drinker Water
meter is a water meter that is monitoring the
water being used by drinker water lines or the
entire house (1 meter for both drinker lines and
cool pads). If a water meter is assigned an input
here, its daily usage will be added to the total
amount of consumed water in the management
screen. When a water meter or other digital
input is assigned to a board and an input on that
board, then the next water meter or digital input
number will appear in the list. For example,
when meter #1is assigned to the I/O board digi-
tal input #1, then meter #2 will appear in the list
as the next available water meter. If it is desired
to skip a meter or other digital input and move
to the next digital input in the list, enter NA (not
assigned) on the input that needs to be skipped
and the next sensor will appear in the list.
2. Feed Scale- All feed scales that are connected to
the Control needs the input it is connected to
assigned here. All feed scales that are assigned
inputs here will have their daily usage added to
the total amount of feed consumed in the man-
agement screen.
3. Auxiliary Digital Inputs-The auxiliary digital
inputs section can used to hook up many differ-
ent types of digital input. Types of auxiliary
Inputs include non-drinker water meters (water
meters attached to evaporative cool pads, etc.),
pulsed output electric meters, pulsed output gas
meters, etc. Each inputs usage will be monitored
separately and will not be added to any total usage.
4. Other Digital Inputs-If an airspeed sensor, low water pressure switch, PDS flush feedback, or maxi-
mum feed run time alarm is connected to the Control, enter the proper input location here.
5. Board- This is the number of the board where the water meter or other digital input device is con-
nected. Board number 0 is the I/O Board. If the sensor is connected to an additional digital input
board, then the board number matches the address of the add on board (see the installation section of
this manual).
6. Input- This is Input number that the water meter or other digital input device is connected to on the
board. For the I/O Board the input number will be 1 thru 8. If the sensor is connected to an additional
analog input board then the input number will be 1-4.
7. Gal/pls, Lbs/pls, units/pls-The number of gallons, pounds, etc. each pulse of the water meter, feed
scale, etc. represents.
8. Name- A name can be entered for the Water meter, feed scale, and auxiliary digital inputs using the
alphanumeric keypad. The name entered here will appear in the Auxiliary Data and History screens.
