humidity for the ‘Cool #’ and ‘Cool Pad
#’ relays.
n. Flush Cool Pad At
: time in 24 hour or
military format at which to start
continuous application of water to the
cool cells in order clean them of debris.
o. Cool Pad Flush Duration (minutes)
:
length of time in minutes that the cool
relays operate continuously in order to
flush debris from the cool cells.
p. Minimum Level To Enable Operation
:
minimum ventilation level to operate the
cool cells. This applies to normal
operation of the Cool # and Cool Pad #
relays, but not to the flush functions.
5.
Foggers
Foggers are normally installed within the
building and cool pads outside. The
Platinum Plus provides independent settings
for the foggers.
a. Temperature Band
: on/off differential or
Happy Zone with respect to temperature
for the fogger relays. These normally
control the water pump for the cool cells.
b. Humidity Band
: on/off differential or
Happy Zone with respect to inside
humidity for the fogger relays.
c. Minimum Level To Enable Operation
:
minimum ventilation level to operate the
fogger relays.
d. Manimum Level To Enable Operation
:
maximum ventilation level to operate the
fogger relays.
6. Humidity Treatment
a. Humidity Band: on/off differential or
Happy Zone with respect to inside
humidity for humidity treatment
b. Humidity Treatment Below Heat
:
choose whether ventilation level increase
for humidity treatment is permitted if
average temperature is below the heat
setting.
7.
Soft Minimum/Maximum Level:
Some producers prefer to set multiple
minimum levels depending on outside
temperature conditions. The Platinum Plus
offers low and high temperature set points,
and interpolates minimum ventilation levels
between these set points.
a. Differential Below Heat For Soft
Minimum: temperature below the heat set
temperature at which to enforce low
temperature minimum ventilation level.
b. Temperature Choice for Soft Minimum
:
choice whether to use the current inside
temperature or the outside temperature to
determine when to use the soft minimum.
8. Curtains
a. Number of Stages for Calibration: the
maximum number of conventional or natural
curtain adjustments or movements before a
mandatory visit to the nearest extreme (0% or
100%, whichever is closer) in order to ensure
accuracy of the position counters. A value of
99 disables curtain calibration. In the event
that more than one curtain requires calibration
simultaneously, the Platinum Plus calibrates
them one at a time in turn.
b. Stop Fans on Curtain Movement, total %
:
sets the curtain opening up to which fans will
stop temporarily when any curtain moves.
The term ‘total %’ means that the sum of all
conventional curtain openings used plus the
tunnel curtain if used must total this amount.
For example, 3 curtains at 20% each totals to
60%, as does 2 curtains at 0% and one at
60%. If you have a solid style tunnel house
and don’t use conventional curtains, simply
put in the percentage you want the tunnel
curtain open before the fans run. This
parameter principally allows curtains that
would otherwise stick because of static air
pressure, to open without fans running to a
point at which they no longer stick to the wire
mesh.
9. Light
a. Sunrise Time (minutes): This sets the length
of time to move to a new intensity setting on
an optional light dimmer starting with the
programmed Start time (see Control Menu |
Light).
b. Sunset Time (minutes)
: sets the length of
time to move to a previous setting or to off, so
that the destination intensity is reached at the
programmed End time (see Control Menu |
Light). This ensures that the end point is
reached coincident with any light relays
turning off on the same setting.
c. Minimum Analog Voltage
: calibrates the
zero light intensity control voltage
d. Maximum Analog Voltage
: calibrates the
100% light intensity control voltage.
e. Analog Output Channel
: the optional analog
output card has eight channels. You can
assign the light dimmer control to any of the
first seven channels. The eighth channel is
reserved for variable speed fan control.
10. Feed
a. Select the active bin for the feed monitor
digital input function.
