Part No. 4801-0151 Rev 4-06 Farm Hand Stage Master 13 of 40
7.1 Switch Settings
Tunnel Switches
SWX 1 - Tunnel On/Off
This switch is used to enable or disable the tunnel mode of the controller. When
this switch is in the OFF position, the controller will not go into tunnel for any
reason.
SWX 2 - Tunnel On Stage
This switch tells the controller whether it is tunneling off of the lowest
programmed tunnel stage or if it is tunneling off of outside temperature. If this
switch is OFF, the controller will use the “Tunnel OnPoint” setting for entry
into tunnel.
SWX 3 - Power Ventilate
This switch indicates whether this is a power ventilated house or a natural
ventilated house. If it is a power ventilated house the controller will leave the
inlet curtain closed until tunnel mode is entered. This switch must be set to ON
if you have a Power Ventilated house.
SWX 4 - Not used at this time
This switch may be used in the future by Hired-Hand to add greater
functionality/flexibility to the controller. The switch position has no effect on
the operation of the controller.
Status Switches
SWX 1 - Lock
This switch is used to lock the controller. When it is on, the user may change
settings such as target temperature and minimum speed/timer percentages but
they can not change the settings in program mode. If the switch is set to ON the
program settings are locked.
SWX 2 - Fahrenheit/Celsius
This switch toggles between Fahrenheit and Celsius operation. If the switch is
set to ON the controller will read the sensors as Fahrenheit. (Note: If you
change this switch, you will have to reset your tunnel OnPoints and OffPoints
and your Target Temperature.)
SWX 3 - 5/10 minute timer
This switch selects between a 5 and 10 minute system timer. If the switch is
ON, the timer is 10 minutes.
SWX 4 - Sensor 3 Active
This switch turns off sensor 3. If the switch is off, sensor 3 is turned off. Note:
This is used to disable the sensor in the back half of a half house brooding
situation. This way the low temperature reading does not affect the temperature
readings for the rest of the house. Just be sure that sensor 3 is placed in the non-
brood end of the house. If the switch is ON, sensor 3 is used.
SWX 5 - Curtains On Separate Sensor
This switch is used to choose whether the curtain machines operate off the same
sensor or if they operate independently. If the switch is ON, the curtains are
independent with curtain 1 running on sensor 1, and curtain 2 running on sensor
2. If the switch is OFF, both units operate on the average of all the inside
sensors.
SWX 6 - Not used at this time
This switch may be used in the future by Hired-Hand to add greater
functionality/flexibility to the controller. The switch position has no effect on
the operation of the controller.
