12 Inlet and Curtain Ventilation
Air to the barn enters via curtains and inlets, pulled in by the fans. Setting up the curtains and inlets
consists of the following:
•
Measuring how long it takes to completely open the curtains/inlets
•
Defining the curtains/inlets control method.
NOTE When Element determines that more ventilation is required, it opens the inlets before increasing
the actual ventilation. This is done to prevent excess pressure from building up when the ventilation
increases.
12.1 Calibrating the Opening/Closing
There are two methods you can use to calibrate the inlet and curtain opening and closing times:
•
Using a Potentiometer
•
Using Time
NOTE Use one method, not both.
12.1.1 U

P
OTENTIOMETER
Map a curtain or vent to a potentiometer to enable automatic opening and closing calibration (and not
time).

In the System > Installation > Relay, define relays as Inlet or Curtain.

To enable potentiometer control, in System > Installation > Analog Input define an
analog sensor as potentiometer.
1. Go to System > Installation > Inlet & Curtain Setup.
2. Map the inlet(s) or curtain(s) to the potentiometer(s).
NOTE There is no need to enter times into these fields.
3. Go to Calibration > Inlets & Curtains.
