Poultry House Control

Select the appropriate levels in the Control | Min-Max Level menu.
Curtain Levels
Set the curtain levels to correspond with the
ventilation levels. Some producers will want to
open the tunnel curtain somewhat prior to the actual
tunnel. This is convenient to control pressure in
retrofit houses which may not have sufficient side
inlets for the number of fans required in side
ventilation.
You can also optionally run the tunnel
curtain under pressure control. In that event, the
percent open settings become minimum settings.
Then, once the side vents are at 100%, if pressure
requires, the Platinum Plus will open the tunnel
curtain to maintain the pressure setting.
Curtain Setup
Curtain setup tells the Platinum Plus
how fast your curtains and side inlets move. It
needs this information to properly calculate
automatic inlet advance as well as inlet and
curtain positions. Enter opening and closing
time in seconds for the tunnel inlet curtain in
the tunnel row, and for the side vents in the
Inlet row.
