The Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage Controller is designed to be one of the simplest controllers on the
market to operate, but to also be one of the most powerful.
The Swine Finisher has three main regions on the facepad that you need to be concerned with. First is the
main display. This section includes the main display, and four green LED’s which tell what the display is
indicating. If the green light beside “Room Temperature” is lit, then the display is showing the average
inside temperature of your building. Later in this manual you will learn how to see the other three
parameters.
On the left hand side of the controller face you will see the five stage status indicators (a small red LED on
the left side of this white region). This light will be lit if the stage is on, and will flash on and off if it is
running because it is on a timer. The blank white region is for you to label your equipment such as (front
heat, back heat, sidewall fans, etc.). Above the stage status indicators, you will notice either one or two
variable speed stage status indicators. These will flash whenever the variable speed stages are on.
Just below the main display on the right hand side of the controller is the control button region. This region
has three buttons, Mode, +, and -. You will learn the use of these three buttons later in the manual.
5. Day to Day Operating Instructions
This section of the manual will give you all you need to know about the day to day operation of your
controller.
5.1 Checking/Adjusting Temperatures, and Timer Percentages
At any time you want to see the average temperature of your house, just look at the display. When
no one has pressed a button for over one minute, the display will automatically show “Room
Temperature”. To see the outside temperature, press the button labeled “Mode”. This button is
located in the center of the controller facepad. When you press the button, watch the green LED’s
beside the main display. Whichever LED is lit is the parameter you are viewing. You can easily
see “Outside Temperature”, “Var/Timer Percentage”, and “Target Temperature”.
