Hired-Hand Farm Hand Series: Swine Finisher - Manual (Page 9)

Part No. 4801-0150 Rev 8-04 Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage 9 of 32
P25 – Tunnel Onpoint
This is the sensor 3 temperature at which the controller will enter tunnel mode.
Only applicable when tunneling on outside temperature.
P26 -- Tunnel Offpoint
This is the sensor 3 temperature at which the controller will exit tunnel mode.
Only applicable when tunneling on outside temperature.
P27 -- Close Override (Degrees Below Target)
This setting provides the grower a temperature at which to override the curtains
closed. The setting represents degrees below target at which time the curtains
will begin closing regardless of the cycle. The setting allows the user to
anticipate quick temperature drops to help maintain a stable inside temperature.
Valid settings are 1-25.
6.3 Cool Timer Settings
The following two settings allow the user to set the Runtime range for their cool timer stages.
P70 = Cool Timer Maximum Percentage
This sets the maximum Runtime percentage that a cool timer stage can operate.
P71 = Cool Timer Minimum Percentage
This sets the minimum Runtime percentage that a cool timer stage can operate.
6.4 PC Compatible Network Parameters
This option requires Hired-Hand’s Farm Manager Software. The controller has 3 functions which
are used to set it up on the Hired-Hand PC compatible inter-controller network (HHNet). These
are:
P40 - HHNet Address
HHNet allows you to connect up to 32 controllers on a single communications
port of your personal computer (PC). In order for the computer to recognize the
communications from the controllers, each controller must have a unique
address. For example, If you have two Swine Finisher, and two Power Vents
you would need to set the first Swine Finisher to be address 1, the second Swine
Finisher to address 2, the first Power Vent to address 3, and the second Power
Vent to address 4. Valid settings are: 1 - 32. (You do not have to address the
controllers in any particular order.)
P41 -- Version Number
This is not settable. It is the version of controller software.
P42 -- Controller Type
This is not settable. It is a unique number thath allows the network software
(Farm Manager) to know what type controller it is.
6.5 Sensor Calibration
The Swine Finisher has 3 sensors that may be calibrated. The parameter(s) for calibration are PSx
with x being the sensor number. The sensor temperature reading is alternately displayed along
with the parameter number.
You should never attempt to calibrate a sensor more than 8 degrees. If you have a setting that far
out of range, it indicates that there is a problem that should be corrected.
PS1 - Calibrate Sensor 1
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.
PS2 - Calibrate Sensor 2
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.
