3. Radiant Heaters
a. Radiant Heater High Diff
: In Standard
Mode, low level radiant heaters operate
according to their on and off settings
specified in the Control Menu |
Temperature and Timer Settings just as do
the normal heaters. However, the high
level radiant heaters operate at a
differential temperature from the
corresponding low level heater. That is,
they turn on and off the specified number
of degrees below the corresponding low
level heater settings.
b. Radiant Ignition Time (sec)
: some
radiant heaters require a separate ignition
control. When turning a radiant heater on,
both the low, high and ignition relays
operate in unison for this length of time to
ensure proper ignition. After this time the
ignition turns off, and the both the low
and high level relays operate according to
their temperature settings.
Temperature and Humidity, Standard
Mode
1. Enter Set temperatures by growth day for up
to 10 growth days. The Platinum Plus
interpolates between the dates you enter.
2. If you start with a growth day greater than 1,
the 1
st
day entered applies until then.
3. The last date entered applies after that.
4. Humidity settings are for future use.
5. Enter Low and High alarm temperatures for
the same growth dates. These are alarm
settings for average temperature.
6. The Global Alarm Delay in Alarm Settings
applies to the low and high average
temperature alarms.
7. To set individual zone temperatures go to
the Management Menu | Alarm Settings.
There you can also set the maximum
acceptance range for temperature sensors.
Minimum Ventilation Timer,
Standard Mode
1. This menu provides up to 10 minimum
ventilation timer settings by growth day.
2. If natural ventilation is enabled, it will also
display curtain minimum and maximum
positions. The curtain minimum position is
where the curtains go to on initial entry into
natural ventilation. The maximum opening
is the most they will open in natural
ventilation.
3. Experienced producers often program only the
1
st
line in this menu, since they change the
settings frequently to accommodate air
conditions on a frequent basis.
4. Assign the minimum ventilation timer to
particular fans in the Temperature and Timer
Settings Menu. These fans will run according to
the timer when they are below their ON setting.
