1. Minimum Tunnel Fans: this parameter sets the number of tunnel fans required to
enter tunnel ventilation. This is a safety factor to guard against accidentally trying to
enter tunnel without enough tunnel fans available. If needed, the Platinum Plus
overrides temperature settings of as many fans as required in order to enter tunnel
ventilation at the tunnel on temperature.
2. Tunnel Exit Delay: upon reaching the tunnel off temperature, the Platinum Plus waits
this length of time before actually leaving tunnel ventilation.
3. Non Brood Area Differential Below Heat: set the temperature for heaters in growing
zones that are not part of the current bird area. Each heater turns on this amount below
its normal setting when in the non-growing area.
4. Stir Fan Minimum Vent Offset, +/- Seconds: stir fans can operate at offsets plus or
minus from the end of the minimum ventilation timer. These fans can be used to mix
cold incoming air to prevent it chilling the birds.
5. Stir Fan Operate Duration (Seconds): this sets the length of time the stir fans
operate.
6. Stir Fan Set Function (Stop/Cont): select whether the stir fans stop operating
according to their offset and duration settings when the reach the ON temperature, or
whether they turn on continuously.
7. Radiant Heater High Differential: high level radiant heaters do not appear in the
Temperature & Timer Settings table. Only the low level heater settings do. The high
level heaters operate this number of degrees below the low level heaters. This
parameter appears only if some relays are assigned as radiant heaters.
8. Radiant Ignition Time, Seconds: radiant heater ignition relays operate for this long
when turning on a radiant heater. This parameter appears only if some relays are
assigned as radiant heaters.
