Platinum Plus
89
Factory Default Curve: choosing yes restores
the factory default bird curves you can change in
Management, Bird Curve.
Bird Curve
The Platinum Plus has up to three
curves of the anticipated weight of pullet and
breeder flocks by bird age. You can edit the
current curve, as selected in Management, Scale
Setting in this menu. Each curve can contain up
to 30 points. The controller interpolates weights
between the points you program.
Password
You can enter a 4 digit Owner
password, up to five 4 digit User passwords and
one visitor password. The owner can set new
passwords at will, but not see them once entered
or changed by the users. The users can access the
controller and make changes. The visitor can
access the controller, but can not make changes.
Each time someone accesses the
controller with a password, an event is recorded
in History | Table of Events.
If your controller uses passwords, the
controller will also require a password entry to
acknowledge switch position changes. If the
switch change is not acknowledged the controller
signals an alarm.
Emergency Setting
These items appear only if an emergency card is
installed. Under normal use, the emergency card
functions transparently as standard outputs.
1. The relay functions are copied from the
relay layout. See Install, Relay Layout.
2. Fans and Heaters functions accept a
differential from target at which to operate
in emergency operation.
3. Fans accept a Growth Day parameter. They
operate in emergency only after this growth
day.
4. Fans accept an operating mode of
Temperature or Min Vent. If you assign
them as Temp (temperature), they run full
time at that amount above target
temperature. If you assign them as Min
Vent, they run according to the current
Minimum Ventilation Timer (see Help | Set
parameters) below their on differential, and
run full time above.
5. Curtains, Tunnel Curtains and Inlets accept
an ON or OFF operate parameter. That is,
the particular function, Open or Close, either
operates permanently in emergency, or stays
off.
Help | Set Parameters
1. Differential Above Target for Emergency
: if
the emergency card sensor is this amount above
target temperature, the emergency card takes
over function of its relays.
2. Differential Below Target For Emergency
: if
the emergency card sensor is this amount below
the target temperature, the emergency card takes
over function of its relays.
3. Minimum Ventilation On Time, Day 1
: the
emergency card runs minimum ventilation fans
according to this timer setting on growth day 1.
It interpolates for times between growth day 1
and 21.
4. Minimum Ventilation Off Time, Day 1
: the
emergency card off time for its cycle timer on
day 1.
5. Minimum Ventilation On Time, Day 21
: the
emergency card minimum ventilation timer ON
time from day 21 and forward.
6. Minimum Ventilation Off Time, Day 21
: the
emergency card minimum ventilation timer
OFF time from day 21 and forward.
7. Delay Time to Start Fans
: upon sensing an
emergency, the emergency card waits this long
before starting its fans. This parameter allows
time for devices such as curtains or side inlets
to move into position before running the fans.
History
Temperature
The temperature history menu stores
minimum, average and maximum temperatures by
growth day. The average is weighted, so if most of
the day has been warm the average will likely be
closer to the maximum than the minimum.
Humidity
The humidity history menu stores
minimum, average and maximum inside humidity
by growth day. The average is weighted, so if most
of the day has been humid the average will likely be
closer to the maximum than the minimum.
Water and Feed
The water and feed menu records daily
water and feed consumption and shows the daily
differential change from the previous day in per
cent. You must have the water monitor and feed
monitor digital inputs connected, or a feed silo
weighing system installed for the feed system.
Mortality
The mortality history menu maintains daily
summaries of mortality, cull and total dead. It also
shows the % dead and gives an updated count of
bird inventory.
