b. Total Feed Bin 1: this parameter
maintains the feed count for Silo 1. You
can adjust this parameter for reclaim or
any time you need to correct the
inventory. This parameter adjusts
automatically if load cells are connected
under the silos.
c. Total Feed Bin 2
: same as above, except
for Bin 2.
11.
Emergency Setting: the emergency
settings apply to optional emergency cards.
These cards are battery backed, and operate
as standard switch and relay cards during
normal operation. In the event of an
emergency, they continue to operate
according to their settings, on backup
battery if power has failed. Other emergency
settings appear in the Management Menu if
an emergency card is installed.
a. Differential Above Target for
Emergency: this parameter sets the
temperature above the Set temperature at
which the emergency card takes over
operation of its equipment. The
emergency card has its own temperature
sensor.
b. Differential Below Target for
Emergency: this parameter sets the
temperature below the Set temperature at
which the emergency card takes over
operation of its equipment.
c. Min Vent On Time Day 1
: the
emergency card is aware of growth day
information, and in the event it takes over
operation, it will run timer fans according
to its own minimum ventilation timer
settings. Set the run time for 1 day old
birds in this parameter. The card
calculates run times between days 1 and
21 by interpolating.
d. Min Vent Off Time Day 1
: set the off
time for minimum ventilation cycle timer
during emergency for growth day 1.
e. Min Vent On Time Day 21
: set the on
time for minimum ventilation for three
week birds.
f. Delay Time to Start Fans (seconds)
:
upon taking on emergency operation, the
card waits this long before running fans.
The delay gives air inlet devices time to
preposition.
13. Alarm Setting
a. Advanced Alarms (N-0/Y-1): select whether
advanced alarms are enabled or disabled. The
alarms are available in the Management
Menu.
Control Menu
Temperature and Timer Settings,
Standard Mode
1. Temperature and Timer Settings: Set On and
Off temperatures for all temperature controlled
devices in this menu. Also assign an auxiliary
timer or the Minimum Ventilation timer as
desired.
2. The temperature curve set in Temperature and
Humidity below normally controls the Set
temperature. If the curve is on, you will not be
able to adjust the Set temperature itself in the
Temperature and Timer Settings Menu. If you
turn the temperature curve off in Control Mode
(last menu in Control), you will have access to
the Set temperature. Use this feature to
temporarily adjust temperature away from the
curve, for example, if you need to temporarily
keep the birds warmer than usual after
vaccination.

1. Temp & Timer Settings
a. Minimum Tunnel Fans On
: The Platinum
Plus refuses to enter tunnel if there are not
enough tunnel fans available. It may override
individual fan settings in order to operate the
minimum number of tunnel fans when in
tunnel mode
b. Tunnel Exit Delay (Minutes)
: the Platinum
Plus waits for this time after satisfying tunnel
exit conditions..
c. Non-Brood Area Diff From Target
: heaters
in areas other than the current active area
(such as in the grow end of a two grow area
house during brood 1) operate by this
temperature setting. The differential can be
positive or negative (press the +/- key after
entering the differential value).
2. Stir Fans
a. Minimum Ventilation Cycle Offset
: the stir
fans operate with offset from the termination
of the minimum ventilation timer fans. If the
offset is 0, the stir fans turn on when the
minimum ventilation fans turn off.
b. Operate Duration (sec)
: the stir fans operate
for this length of time.
c. Set Function (Stop-0/Cont-1)
: If you choose
the Stop option, then the stir fans will cease to
operate at their ON temperature. If the option
is Continuous, then the stir fans run
continuously above their ON temperature,
and cycle below that.
