General Description
The Platinum Plus has two ventilation methods. The first is the Standard
method; the second the Precision method. You may find the Standard method
easier to learn at first, but the Precision method will give you more capability,
and may be easier in the long run. You can switch between the two methods at
any time.
Standard Ventilation Mode
Standard Operation is an established method of coordinating heating and
ventilation. In this method, you set one temperature curve for the growth cycle
of the flock. Heaters, fans, cooling systems operate at related higher and lower
set points from this curve.
For example, you may have brooders set -1ºF and space heaters -3ºF from
the Set Temperature. Then if the actual temperature is more than 1ºF cold in a
heat zone, that brooder will be on. Both brooders and space heater would be on
in zones that are more than 3ºF cold.
Usually some fans run on the minimum ventilation timer below their ON
temperature, and full time above that. Additional fans come on at higher
temperatures to provide cooling.
