WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Although the manufacturer has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the
information contained herein, this document is subject to change without notice due to
ongoing product development.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Equipment, probe failure, blown fuses and/or tripped breakers may prove harmful to the
contents of the building. Therefore it is strongly recommended to install backup devices
and alarm or warning devices. Spare equipment should also be available at the owner’s
site. Equipment manufactured by the manufacturer is protected against normal line
surges. High surges caused by thunderstorms or power supply equipment may damage
this equipment. For added security against line voltage surges it is recommended that
surge and noise suppression devices be installed at the electrical distribution panel. Use
of shielded cable for probes is recommended for protection against lightning. These
devices are available from most electrical supply distributors.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The manufacturer recommends that all installation procedures described herein be
performed by a qualified electrician or installation technician. Furthermore the
manufacturer recommends testing all the functions and equipment connected to the
controller, including the alarm system and backup devices, after installation, after
changes to the installation and every month after that.
Fuse verification and replacement, as well as the proper setting of control values shall be
the responsibility of the owner of this equipment.

Drill and hole saw kit
INSTALLATION
Section B-31
General installation guidelines
Controller - It is recommended to install the unit in a hallway to limit the controller exposure to
noxious gases.
- In order to avoid condensation problems inside the controller, it is recommended to
install the controller on an inside wall. If it is not possible, use spacers to have an air
gap between the wall and the controller.
- It is required to install the controller right side up with the cable entry holes facing
down.
- The enclosure is watertight, but do not spray water or submerge the controller in
water. Cover it carefully with plastic when cleaning the room.
- The controller should be installed in easy-access location but away from damaging
elements (heat, cold, water, direct sunlight, …).
- Do not drill the face, the side, the top or the underside of the control.
- Do not install the controller near high-voltage equipment, power supply or
transformer.
Electrical cables - All electrical cables must be installed according to local wiring codes.
- All cable shields must be connected to the shield terminal on the cord to which the
cable is connected, except for the cable connected to the optional PC interface. The
shield is needed to protect the controller and the modules against any electromagnetic
interference generated by lightning or nearby operating machinery.
- Never use the shield as a conductor.
- Connect only one end of the shield to the controller.
- Use separate conduits for the low voltage cables (communication and probes) and the
high voltage cables. There must be at least 1 foot (30 cm) between low-voltage and
high-voltage conduits.
- If a low voltage cable has to cross over a high voltage cable, make this crossing at
90°.
- All cable connections must be soldered or done with approved sealed connectors.
- Probe cables must be 500’ (150m) or less.
- Communication cables must be 820’ (250m) or less.
- It is prohibited to use overhead cables outside the building.
Electrical power - Protection from electrical surges should be included in the planning of each
installation.
- Every module should have a separate breaker to avoid unwanted consequences.
- The V2 and V1 modules require the same voltage and phase as the VAR BOARD
(X1204) power source.
- The OUT1 and OUT2 outputs require the same phase and same voltage as the
controller to operate.
- It is strongly recommended to have a backup power source to ensure life-sustaining
conditions in case of power failure (see figure 11).
INSTALLATION
Section B-32
- It is also strongly recommended to install a backup thermostat system parallel to the
controller module output (see figures 12 and 13) to supply sufficient airflow and
heating.
- The backup system and alarm must be thoroughly tested and verified as working
properly before using the ventilation system.
Mounting - The enclosure must be mounted in a location that will allow the cover to be
completely opened.
- Fasten the four brackets to the four mounting holes on the back of the enclosure using
the four screws provided with the brackets.
- Then mount the enclosure on the wall by inserting screws through the brackets’
adjustment slots, into the wall. Make sure to position the enclosure so that all wires
extend out of the bottom section of the enclosure.
- The bracket slots serve to adjust the position of the controller.
- Once you have adjusted the controller position, tighten the four mounting screws. (see
figure 1).

Connection procedure
Detailed wiring diagrams
Typical Sensor Wiring for Probes
An inside temperature sensor should be located in the area which gives the most accurate
temperature reading to achieve optimum ventilation. The sensor should be connected to
the controller with a shielded two-wire cable. It should be located in an area protected
from operating machinery, animal bites, personnel or anything that could damage the
sensor.
The outside temperature sensor should be installed in a location which is not influenced
by heat generated from inside the building or direct sunlight. It should also be protected
from physical damage.

Typical Water Meter Wiring
This function allows the user to measure the amount of consumed water measured in
pulses by the water meter (Example: Kent model C-700 water meter with B-Pulser
interface). The water meter interface must have a N.O. contact.
FIGURE NO. 5 Typical Water Meter Wiring

INSTALLATION
Section B-36
Typical Feed Sensor Wiring
Feed sensors (ex.: CSD-1 Current Switch Detector) should be mounted inside the
controller enclosure with the feeder power wire running through the sensor loop. If a
single sensor monitors multiple feeder circuit, run the wires from all feeder groups the
same direction through the sensor loop.
The best use for a single feed sensor is monitoring your silo auger motor. This provides a
clear indication of all feed entering the building and it provides an alarm when the feed
silo is empty.

GLOSSARY
Throughout this document, the following terminology is used. All of the terms mentioned
below will appear regularly and will be in Bold to indicate that the full description is in
the glossary.
Target Temperature This is the temperature goal for the room and it is also the
reference temperature for all relative settings. Note that
the Target Temperature may be affected by the
Ramping Function.
Growth Day This is the reference day used for Ramping Function. It
may be set to OFF, deactivating all Ramping Function. If
it is adjusted to a value other than OFF, it will be
incremented each day.
Growth Curve The Growth Curve is composed of value points and day
points. It is used for the Ramping Function. When the
Growth Day is equal to a given day point, the associated
value point will be the value taken by the parameter
affected by the Ramping Function.
Ramping Function The Ramping Function is used to modify a parameter
value automatically. When the Ramping Function is
activated, the affected parameter will be updated each
hour according to its Growth Curve and the Growth
Day.
RSP Relative Set Point: Number of degrees relative to the
Target Temperature where a function begins.
Differential Number of degrees changed before stopping the output.
For example, with a Differential of 1.0F, the control
turns on a fan at 70.0F when temperature increases, but it
will shut it off only at 70.0F - 1.0F when temperature
decreases. The Differential is necessary to avoid
oscillations.
Modulation Band Number of degrees a variable output takes to reach its full
intensity.
Average Temperature This is the temperature calculated using all probes selected
in PROBES FOR AVERAGE.
Outside Temperature This is the temperature read by the outside temperature
probe.

Section C-60
Ventilation System Overview
The different models will determine the amount of variable and relay outputs available on
the controller.
For the controller models using variable outputs, the variables can be used as a
ventilation stage, variable stir fan or as a light output. 0-10 Volt outputs can also be used
as a variable heater or as a chimney.
For all controller models, the relays can be used as a ventilation stage, stir fan, heater,
clock output, a feeder output, a feed auger output, sprinkler, inflatable inlet, 0-10V relay,
a high water alarm or air inlet.
The controller can work with up to 16 inside temperature probes that it can use to
compute an inside average. All outputs will follow the probes selected by the user. When
one temperature probe is defective (short or open circuit), the controller does not consider
it to compute the average and the alarm is triggered. An Outside Temperature can be
used to override the inside temperature alarm if it is too hot outside in order to reduce
false alarms. The outside temperature can also increase ventilation and affect water meter
alarms.
The controller can monitor up to 12 water meters, 12 feeders and 12 feed augers
quantities and trigger alarms in the case of abnormal readings.
The controller can also operate up to 2 light zones, 2 bird scales, 2 bin scales and 2 Sort
Master modules.
Other features, including night set point, Ramping Function and history for alarms,
probes, heaters, feeders, feed augers, water meter, main set point, inlet positions, water
consumption per animal, feed consumption per animal and group consumption are
included in all controller types.

OFF, or a speed from 0% to 100%.
START TEMPERATURE
These parameters are used to set the temperature at which the respective variable stage
will be activated continuously to VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MINIMUM SPEED. A fixed
Differential of 0.3° is used with this logic. As the average temperature of the probes
selected in selected in VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROBES increases, the variable stage’s
speed will increase until VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) END TEMPERATURE is reached.
The variable stage 1’s behaviour may change, depending on the mode chosen at
VARIABLE STAGE 1 MODE. These parameters may be adjusted in 0.1° increments from
MAIN SET POINT - 10.0° to MAIN SET POINT + 40.0° except for VARIABLE 1 START
TEMPERATURE, which is always equal to the MAIN SET POINT.
END TEMPERATURE
These parameters are used to set the temperature at which the respective variable stage
will be activated at VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MAXIMUM SPEED. The variable stage
1’s behaviour may change, depending on the chosen mode on the mode chosen at
VARIABLE STAGE 1 MODE. These parameters adjusted in 0.1° increments from
VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) START TEMPERATURE + 0.5° to VARIABLE STAGE (1-12)
START TEMPERATURE + 40.0°.
MINIMUM SPEED (Curve Available for variable stage 1)

These parameters are used to determine if the respective variable stage will perform a full
start upon activation. If this option is set to ON the corresponding variable output will be
activated at full speed for the first few seconds following an activation demand. This
option is not available if the variable stage is used on 0-10 Volts output.
ADD MINIMUM SPEED OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
These parameters are used to adjust the amount by which the respective variable stage’s
minimum speed will increase when OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION option is set to ON and the OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE is equal to or above OUTSIDE
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION SET POINT. Setting one of these parameters to 0%
will deactivate the speed increase for the associated variable stage. These parameters are
adjusted in 1% increments from 0% to 100%.
PROTECTION MINIMUM SPEED
These parameters are used to set the respective minimum variable speed when activated
by the timer and by the protection option on the minimum speed and the protection
minimum speed function is activated. The respective variable stage will be active at the
speed adjusted here when active by its timer and its temperature is equal or under to the
TEMPERATURE PROTECTION UNDER. If VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROTECTION
MINIMUM SPEED is set to Stop, the variable stage will deactivate instead of reducing its
speed. If VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROTECTION MINIMUM SPEED is set to OFF, this
function will be deactivated. This speed can also be used for dehumidification if the
VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROTECTION MINIMUM SPEED ON

in Position Mode will modulate from de AIR INLET (1-16) VARIABLE (1-12) START
POSITION when variable stage is activated at VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MINIMUM
SPEED REFERENCE FOR INLET. The inlet opening will increase proportionally to the
variable stage speed to reach AIR INLET (1-16) VARIABLE (1-12) END POSITION when
the variable stage is active to VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MAXIMUM SPEED. These
parameters are adjusted in 1% increments from 12% to 100%.

increased minimum speed when the actual humidity reaches the HUMIDITY SET POINT + VARIABLE STAGE (2-12) HUMIDITY RELATIVE SET POINT even if VARIABLE
STAGE (2-12) START TEMPERATURE hasn’t been reached. If this option is set to No,
variable stage (2-12) will never be activated by humidity.
ADD MINIMUM SPEED FOR HUMIDITY
These parameters are used to adjust the speed increase that will be applied on the
respective variable stage for the dehumidification logic. When the actual humidity
reaches the HUMIDITY SET POINT, VARIABLE STAGE 1 MINIMUM SPEED will be
increased by this value and, if VARIABLE STAGE 1 START TEMPERATURE isn’t
reached, it will activate continuously at its new minimum speed. When the actual
humidity reaches the HUMIDITY SET POINT + VARIABLE STAGE (2-12) HUMIDITY
RELATIVE SETPOINT, variable stage (2-12)’s will be increased by VARIABLE STAGE

to 120.0°F, OFF).
POSITION ON TIMER/HEATING
This parameter determines the behavior of the inlet for its positioning when a ventilation
stage is activated by its timer or by a heater. When this parameter is set to V1Str, in
minimum ventilation, no matter which stage is activated by its timer or by a heater, the
inlet will position itself at the AIR INLET (1-16) VARIABLE 1 START POSITION if no
stage is activated by temperature. When a stage is activated by temperature, the inlet will
position itself according to the opening position of the last stage which is activated by
temperature. If this parameter setting is between 0% and 100% inclusive, the inlet will act
as the previous case, replacing the V1Str position by the position adjusted in this
parameter. When this parameter is set to Stages, the inlet will position itself according to
the opening position of the last stage which is activated by temperature, its timer or by a
heater. This parameter can be set to V1Str, Stages or adjusted in 1% increments from 0%
to 100%
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
This parameter is used to adjust the compensation that will be applied to the inlet for each
degree of difference between its temperature and the AIR INLET (1-16) PROBES temperature. When the inlet’s temperature is greater than the AIR INLET (1-16) PROBES,
the inlet’s opening will be increased by this value for every degree of difference. When
the AIR INLET (1-16) PROBES temperature is less than the AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE the inlet’s opening will be decreased by this value for every degree of
difference. This compensation will be applied only if the inlet is positioned for the stage
selected at AIR INLET (1-16) MINIMUM STAGE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION or
a higher stage. Temperature compensation is not available for zone position mode inlets.
This parameter is adjusted in 1% increments from 0% to 99%.
MINIMUM STAGE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
This parameter is used to adjust the minimum stage that must for which the inlet must be
positioned in order to apply temperature compensation. If the air inlet has a position of a
stage lower than the one selected here, temperature compensation will not be applied.
ACTUAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
This parameter displays the current compensation temperature applied on the inlet.
STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION OPTION
This parameter allows the user to activate or deactivate static pressure compensation on
the inlet. If this option is set to Yes, inlet position will be increased or reduced according
to the static pressure reading and parameters. If this option is set to No, inlet position will
not be influenced by static pressure. Static pressure compensation is not available for
zone position mode inlets.

ACTUAL STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION
This parameter displays the actual temperature compensation applied to the inlet's
position. The compensation is displayed to the nearest 1% from -100% to 100%.
STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION
This parameter is used to adjust the compensation that will be applied to the inlet when
the static pressure is not under AIR INLET LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT or not
above AIR INLET HIGH STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT. When the static pressure is
greater than AIR INLET HIGH STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT, the inlet’s opening will
be increased by this value every time AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION
DELAY has expired. When the static pressure is less than AIR INLET LOW STATIC
PRESSURE SETPOINT, the inlet’s opening will be decreased by this value every time
AIR INLET STATIC COMPENSATION PRESSURE DELAY has expired. Static pressure
compensation will be applied only when the inlet is using the position of a stage who’s
corresponding AIR INLET VARIABLE STAGES/STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC
PRESSURE COMPENSATION and the position added or reduced is reset each time a
ventilation stage is activated. Pressure compensation will be checked each time the AIR
INLET STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION DELAY has expired. This parameter is
adjusted in 1% increments from 0% to 99%.
LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT
This parameter is used to adjust the value at which inlet static pressure compensation will
begin to reduce the inlet’s opening. When the static pressure is less than this parameter,
the inlet’s opening will be decreased by AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE
COMPENSATION for every 0.010”WC of difference. Pressure compensation will be
checked each time the AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION DELAY has
expired. Static pressure compensation will be applied only when the inlet is using the
position of a stage whose corresponding AIR INLET VARIABLE STAGES/STAGES
AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION option is selected. This
parameter is adjusted in 0.001”WC (1Pa) from -0.500”WC to 0.500”WC (-99Pa to 99Pa).
HIGH STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT
This parameter is used to adjust the value at which inlet static pressure compensation will
begin to increase the inlet’s opening. When the static pressure is greater than this
parameter, the inlet’s opening will be increased by AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE
COMPENSATION for every 0.010”WC of difference. Pressure compensation will be
checked each time the AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION DELAY
expires. Static pressure compensation will be applied only when the inlet is using the
position of a stage whose corresponding AIR INLET VARIABLE STAGES/STAGES
AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION option is selected. This

STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION DELAY
This parameter is used to adjust the time after which static pressure will be checked to
evaluate static pressure compensation on the inlet’s position. When the static pressure is
not within AIR INLET LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT and AIR INLET HIGH
STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT, this delay will start. Once the delay has expired, the
compensation will be evaluated and applied. Once the compensation is evaluated, the
delay starts once again and compensation will be evaluated and applied again when the
delay expires once more. This cycle continues as long as the static pressure is outside the
AIR INLET LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT and AIR INLET HIGH STATIC
PRESSURE SETPOINT limits. Static pressure compensation will be applied only when
the inlet is using the position of a stage whose corresponding AIR INLET VARIABLE
STAGES/STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION option is
selected. This parameter is adjusted in 1-second increments from 0 second to 999
seconds.
STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION LIMIT
This parameter is used to set the limit for the static pressure compensation. The static
pressure compensation will not alter the inlet’s position by a value greater than the one
set here. This parameter is adjusted in 1% increments from 0% to 100%.
VARIABLE STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION
This parameter is used to activate or deactivate static pressure compensation for the
respective variable stage’s position. If a variable stage is not selected at this parameter,
static pressure compensation will not be applied for that variable stage’s position.
STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION
This parameter is used to activate or deactivate static pressure compensation for the
respective on/off stage’s position. If an on/off stage is not selected at this parameter,
static pressure compensation will not be applied for that variable stage’s position.
PRESSURE COMPENSATION WITH TIMER
This parameter is used to allow if static pressure compensation will be applied on a
ventilation stage using timer. If set to No, the static pressure compensation will not be
used as long as variable, stage or inlet uses minimum ventilation timer. If this parameter
is set to Yes, the static pressure compensation will be applied when outputs use minimum
ventilation timer.
FAN DELAY FOR POSITIONNING
This parameter is used to set the time for which the fans will wait before activating to
allow inlets to position themselves. When a ventilation stage receives an activation
demand, the position mode air inlets will take that stage’s position, the pressure mode air
inlets will open continuously and, once this delay has expired, the ventilation stage will
activate. Setting this value to OFF deactivates this delay. This parameter is adjusted in 1-
second increments from OFF, 1 to 300 seconds.

FORCED OPENING TEMPERATURE
This parameter is used to set the temperature at which the respective inlet will be forced
to open continuously. When the assigned temperature reaches this set point, the inlet will
open continuously, without regard to static pressure. Adjusting this parameter to OFF will
deactivate this forced opening. This parameter is adjusted in 0.1° increments from MAIN
SET POINT - 10.0° to MAIN SET POINT + 40.0°, OFF.
DIFFERENTIAL
This parameter is used to set the Differential used with the INLET (1-7, 9-15) FORCED

This parameter is adjusted in 0.1° increments from 0.5° to 40.0°.
FAN DELAY FOR POSITIONNING
This parameter is used to set the time for which the fans will wait before activating to
allow inlets to position themselves. When a ventilation stage receives an activation
demand, the position mode air inlets will take that stage’s position, the pressure mode air
inlets will open continuously and, once this delay has expired, the ventilation stage will

AIR INLETS SETUP
TYPE
These parameters are used to set the mode according to which the respective inlet will
operate. When this parameter is set to No Mode, the associated inlet will not move unless
the manual override or toggle switches are used. Otherwise, inlets may operate according
to five modes. In Position Mode or Zone Position Mode, the inlet will position itself
according to the position mode settings. In Position Mode, the inlet will follow
ventilation stage activation according to their own probes and will be able to use
temperature and static pressure compensation. In Zone Position Mode, the inlet will
follow the ventilation stages as if they used the air inlet’s probes and will not be able to
use temperature and static pressure compensation. In Natural Pot the inlet can trigger
natural mode and will position itself according to the assigned temperature and the
parameter adjustments of that mode. In Natural Time mode, the inlet can trigger natural
mode and will position itself according to the assigned temperature and the parameter
adjustments of that mode. In Static Pressure mode, the inlet will position itself according
to the static pressure, assigned temperature and the parameter adjustments of that mode.
Inlets 8 and 16 cannot be assigned to Natural Time or Static Pressure mode.
PRECISION
This parameter is used to adjust the precision of the inlet. If the inlet performs
unnecessary small movements, increase this value until acceptable stability is obtained.
This parameter is adjusted in 1% increments from 1% to 20%.
POTENTIOMETER ALARM
This parameter is used to determine if the alarm will be activated when the inlet’s
potentiometer value cannot be read. If this option is set to ON and the inlet’s
potentiometer has an out of range reading, the alarm relay will activate. If this option is
set to OFF, only an alarm message will be logged in the alarm history in the case of a
potentiometer problem.
MAXIMUM RUN TIME
This parameter is used to set the maximum run time of the inlet within a ten-minute
period. When an inlet has moved for a time greater than the value of this parameter
within a ten-minute period, the module will not activate the open or close relays until the
inlet has had time to cool down and an alarm message will be logged in the alarm history.
This value should be set according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Setting this value
to OFF will deactivate the module cool down function. If the air inlet is already in cool
down mode when this parameter is set to OFF, it will finish the cool down period before
deactivating the function. It is possible to cancel the cool down sequence immediately by
powering off the controller and the powering it back on. Make sure this parameter is set
to OFF before powering down to cancel cool down sequence. This parameter is adjusted
in 1-minute increments from 1 minute to 9 minutes, OFF.
PROBES
This is used to select the inside temperature probes that will be used by the inlet. The
average of the selected probes will dictate inlet position. If there are no probes selected,
the temperature used will be equal to the MAIN SETPOINT.

INPUT CONFIGURATION
WATER/EGG 1-12
These parameters are used to determine which type is used on the mentioned input. Each
input can be an egg counter or a water meter. It is important not to assign the same input
type and number twice. An input assigned to None will not be used. The inputs can be
assigned as Water Meter (1-12) and Egg Counter (1-12).
WATER/EGG 1-12
These parameters are used to activate or deactivate the manual mode for the respective
egg counter. Each input can be used in manual mode, in which case the user will have to
enter the egg quantity in EGG COUNTER (1-12) manually. If this parameter is set to
ON, manual mode will be used for the respective egg counter. If this parameter is set to
OFF, EGG COUNTER (1-12) will reflect the count of the egg counter input.

Section C-167
WATER FLUSH
ACTUAL STATUS
These parameters display the actual status of the water flush outputs. Each water flush
output can be ON or OFF. When a water flush output is ON, the water alarms for the
water counter of the same number will not be checked.
START TIME
These parameters are used to set the time at which the respective water flush output will
activate. When the time of day reaches this time, the respective water flush output will
activate. These parameters are adjusted in 1-minute increments from 0:00 to 23:59
(12:00A to 11:59P).
STOP TIME CYCLE (1-15)
These parameters are used to set the time at which the respective water flush output will
deactivate. When the time of day reaches this time, the respective water flush output will
deactivate. These parameters are adjusted in 1-minute increments from 0:00 to 23:59
(12:00A to 11:59P).
