Set Parameters:
1. Wind Gust Delay Time (sec): length of time to delay before making pressure
adjustments to unexpected pressure changes. Note that the Platinum Plus uses zero
delay when it’s actions result in pressure changes.
2. Pressure During Tunnel?: select whether to use pressure settings in tunnel.
3. Transitional Tunnel?: select whether to assist side ventilation pressure with tunnel
curtain if the side vents are already 100% open, and pressure is too high.
4. Min Vent Using Inlet?Tunnel: some producers do not have side inlets, but use tunnel
inlets during minimum ventilation.
5. Emergency Pressure Delay (seconds): this is the length of time the Platinum Plus
waits before taking emergency action in the event static pressure remains above the
high pressure alarm setting. By default it opens all air sources to save the birds. Use
Alarm Reset under the Management Menu to restore normal operation.
6. Curtain Position in Emergency: during cold weather you may wish to restrict how
far the curtains (either tunnel or conventional) open in emergency situations.
7. Minimum Curtain Level in Tunnel: the tunnel curtain must open at least this far,
even if pressure is low, when in tunnel. If tunnel pressure is not used, then this is the
amount the tunnel curtain opens on switch to tunnel.
8. Minimum Tunnel Level, % for Fans: this option turns off all fans when the tunnel
curtain moves, until it is at least at this much open. Use this to prevent static pressure
from sticking tunnel curtains to the wire mesh so they can’t move.
9. Vent Motor, Fast/Slow?: if your vent boxes take longer than 60 seconds to open, set
this option to slow.
10. Time to Produce Pressure: the Platinum Plus requires pressure to stabilize during its
learning phase while it learns how much to advance inlet opening ahead of minimum
ventilation fan operation. Many houses require stabilization times of 10 seconds or
greater. If your inlets are not opening before the fans run, then increasing this time a
few seconds usually makes things work.
