details. This photo shows typical details of relay
wiring.
Power Connection
Connect 220 to 240Volts to the L1 and
L2 terminals. Jumper the GND connection to the
nearby grounding strip, and connect the
grounding strip to safety ground and a good
lightning grounding system such as an Ufer
Ground or ground rod system meeting governing
safety standards. Replaceable parts on the power
supply include a 1.5 Amp, 250 Volt fuse in the
fuse holder by the AC power connection, and a 5
Amp, 250 Volt fuse in the clip near the voltage
test points to the right in the photograph above.
Static Pressure
The integrated static pressure sensor is
standard in each Platinum Plus controller. It
connects by short air hoses to barbs protruding
out through the left side of the controller. The
inside hose should be installed inside the poultry
building. The best location for the outside hose is
usually in the attic space above the ceiling in a
drop ceiling poultry building, or in a control
room or other sheltered area exposed to outside
air pressure. Placement under eaves or directly
into outside air often results in excessive
sensitivity to wind pressure variations.
The static pressure is generally very
low. A 0.05” Water Column reading, which is
fairly typical, is equivalent to the pressure
required to raise water in a drinking straw or
glass the size of the meniscus. Normal breezes
can easily move pressure +/- 0.03”WC.
Communication
The Optional Communication Card
facilitates connection to personal computers.
It’s primary purpose is to provide a
lightning protected connection point for the
communication system in each Platinum Plus.
The upper connector is not protected against
lightning or static electricity, so connecting any
wires to this point is likely to damage sensitive
electronic components. Production versions of
the communication card have the upper
connection blocked to prevent accidental
connection.
The static pressure sensor is
located to the immediate left of the power
supply. It has a small adjustment screw
shown in the upper right that is factory
adjusted. However, it may be adjusted with
a small jeweler’s screwdriver if needed.
