1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Precautions
WARNING: Read and save these instructions!
Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment is
used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. Carefully read and keep the following
instructions for future reference.
We strongly recommend installing supplementary natural ventilation as well as a backup
thermostat on at least one cooling stage.
Although fuses at the input and outputs of
the controller protect its circuits in case of
an overload or over-voltage, we recommend
installing an additional protection device on
the controller’s supply circuit.
The room temperature where the controller
is located must always remain between 32°F
and 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Indoor use only!
To avoid exposing the controller to harmful
gases or excessive humidity, it is preferable
to install it in a corridor.
If the equipment is used in a manner not

1.4. Main Features
Easy-to-Use Controller — With its conve-
nient menu selectors and its large graphic
LCD screen, the PRO-VISION is certainly the
most easy-to-use temperature controller on
the market.
10 Controller Programs — The controller allows using 10 different programs to control
the room temperature. It is thus possible to
activate a specific program that uses particular temperature settings according to the
animal age for instance.
32 Indoor Temperature Sensors — Up to
32 temperature sensors can be connected
to the controller to obtain an accurate reading of the average room temperature and a
faster reaction time. The controller comes
with 8 basic temperature inputs and 24 additional inputs can be added with the optional
extension cards.
Minimum Ventilation Cycle — When ventilation is not required to reduce the room
temperature, fan outputs can run either continuously or intermittently to reduce humidity
levels and supply oxygen to the room.
Recuperation of the Warm Attic Air — In
order to make energy savings, the controller
can extract the warm air from the attic and
send it back into the room.
Natural Ventilation — This is a ventilation
mode that uses existing air currents and
natural convection to move and distribute air
through the building.
Humidity Control — The control offers many
ways to compensate for high or low humidity levels.
Control of the Air Inlet Movement — The
movement of the air inlets (sidewall vents
or tunnel inlets) can be coordinated with
the operation of the fans or according to
the pressure level. This allows the inlets to
be adjusted correctly, without the influence
of uncontrollable factors such as wind or air
from adjoining rooms.
Egg Room — In addition to controlling the
ambient temperature in the house, the PROVISION can control the temperature and
humidity conditions in an egg room. It can
also keeps a tally of the number of eggs
produced each day.
Operation Cost Monitoring — The controller can monitor the amperage draw of the
outputs and give you daily reports of the
operation costs.
History Menus — The history menus allow
monitoring the sensor readings and verify the
run time of some outputs. Below is a list of
all available histories menus:
Static pressure sensor ...............400 days
Heater run time ..........................400 days
Feeder run time .......................... 400 days
Water consumption .....................400 days
Mortality ................................... 400 days
Alarm Management — The controller provides
alarms for high-low temperatures, defective
sensors and other system failures. It keeps in
memory the 75 latest alarm conditions.
Password Protection — Different passwords
levels can be enabled to restrict access to
some menus of the controller.
Backup Battery — A backup battery allows
the unit to keep time in case of a power
failure.
USB Connector — Controller backups and
updates can be made easily with a standard
USB memory card.
Overload and Over-voltage Protection — Resettable fuses are provided at low-voltage
inputs of the controller to protect its circuitry
in the case of an overload or over-voltage.
Computer Control — The controller can be
connected to a computer, thus making it
possible to centralize the management of
information and diversify control strategies.
Tunnel Ventilation — When the room temperature rises, tunnel ventilation reduces
the actual temperature perceived by the
animals.
2. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1. Installing the Controller
on the Wall
Fasten the two metal brackets on the mounting holes located behind the controller using
four screws. Then, mount the enclosure on
the wall using four other screws. Leave a
clearance of at least 16” to the left of the
enclosure to allow the cover to be removed
for maintenance.
Minimum and maximum sensor readings:
Ambient temperature ................400 days
Inside temperature sensors ............7 days
Outside temperature sensor .......400 days
Relative humidity sensor ...........400 days
Test Mode — A test mode allows simulating temperature changes and verifying the
controller‘s performances.
2.2. Connections
2.2.1. Main Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
user’s manual to connect the controller. Drill
holes at the bottom of the enclosure to pass
the wires and install watertight connectors to
prevent water from entering in the enclosure.
Do not make any holes at the side and top of
the enclosure.
All wiring must be done by an authorized electrician and must comply with
applicable codes, laws and regulations.
Make sure power is off before doing any
wiring to avoid electrical shocks and
equipment damage.
PRO-VISION rev.07

PRO-VISION
Do not install rigid conduit into electrical
knockouts. Only nylon cable glands are
permitted for cable or wire fastening.
The controller has no power-on switch.
An external switch or circuit breaker
shall be included in the building installation to interrupt power to L and N
electric power lines. It shall be in close
proximity to the equipment and within
easy reach of the operator. It shall be
marked as the disconnecting device for
the equipment.
2.2.2. Alarm Connection
There are two types of alarms on the market.
One type activates when current is cut off at its
input; the other type of alarm activates when
current is supplied at its input. For an alarm of
the first type, use the NC terminal as shown on
the wiring diagram. For an alarm of the second
type, use the NO terminal.
3. USER INTERFACE
3.1. Location of the Controls

2.2.3. Sensor Inputs
Sensors operate at low voltage and are
isolated from the supply. Make sure that
sensor cables remain isolated from all high
voltage sources. In particular, do not route
the sensor cables through the same electrical knockout as other cables. Do not connect
the shield from the sensor cable to a terminal
or a ground.
Extending a sensor: Each sensor can be extended up to 500 feet (150 meters).
To extend a sensor: Use a shielded cable of
outside diameter between 0.245 and 0.260 in
(6.22 and 6.60 mm) (the cable dimensions
should not be under 18 AWG) to ensure the
cable entry is liquid tight. Do not ground the
shielding.
It is preferable to solder the cable joint to
ensure a proper contact between the two
cables.

1. Feeder relays are used to stop the feeders when
a feeder run time alarm occurs. These relays are
normally closed (NC) relays which open when their
respective feeder exceeds a user-dened run time.
2. Some relays on the relay panels have specially
been designed to connect actuators (an actuator
relay has an “Open/Off/Close” marking instead
of an “On/Off” marking on the faceplate of the
panel). When actuators are connected to these
relays, their open and close relays can never be

4.8. Non-Brood Zones & Clean Mode
Definition of a Non-Brood Zone: A non-brood
zone is an unused part of the house. This
type of zone is automatically created when
a heater exclusively uses temperature sensors that are not used to measure the average room temperature. Non-brood zones are
generally not ventilated and only have some
heaters to ensure minimum heat.
Heaters in Non- Brood Zones: The operating
temperatures of the heaters in non-brood zones
are related to the “Non-Brood temperature set
point” rather than on the regular temperature
set point. This means that if the non-brood
temperature set point changes, the operating
temperatures of non-brood heaters will be adjusted consequently. Refer to section 5.1 to set
the “Non-Brood temperature set point”.
Definition of the Clean Mode: The clean mode
is used to interrupt regular operations of the
controller when the whole house is empty.
When this mode is enabled, the controller
provides a minimum level of heat and ventilation (optional). In clean mode, the heaters
operate according to their non-brood settings.
Low Temperature Alarms in Clean Mode: The
controller can sound an alarm if the temperature
gets too low while it operates in clean mode (or
when the temperature gets too low in an empty
zone). Once it is enabled, refer to section 13. 2
to adjust the low temperature limit.

enabled). The controller can also change the
day set point automatically over time by using a curve(see section 5.2). * This parameter
is common to all programs.
Night set point — A different temperature
set point can be used at night. The night set
point can be used to lower the target room
temperature for instance. The night set point
is relative to the day set point, which means
that it is automatically adjusted when the day
set point changes. Set the night set point to
the desired value. *Accessible if the night set point
is enabled (see section 4.4).
Non brood — Set the target temperature used
in the non-brood zones. *Refer to section 4.8 for
further information about non brood zones.
RH Set Point — The relative humidity (RH) set
point is the target level of relative humidity
in the room. It is only used if the controller is
used in a broiler, layer or turkey facility. If the
humidity level in the room gets higher than
this set point, the controller can enable different compensation functions to lower it down
(see chapter 12). Set the relative humidity set
point to the desired value. * This parameter is
accessible if the controller is used in a broiler, layer
or turkey facility and if a RH Compensation function is enabled in the Set-up menu (see section 4.4) .

6. VENTILATION & COOLING
6.1. Overview of the Ventilation Concepts
Ventilation Concept in a Broiler or Layer Facility Ventilation Concept in a Turkey or Breeder Facility
In tunnel mode, ventilation is provided by
chosen tunnel fans and the air intake is
exclusively provided by the tunnel inlet (the
sidewall vents are closed). The controller
starts measuring the average temperature
according to the tunnel sensors and starts
using the tunnel inlet static pressure limits
and alarm limits.
In tunnel mode, ventilation is provided by
chosen tunnel fans and the air intake is
exclusively provided by the tunnel inlet (the
sidewall vents & natural curtains are closed).
The controller starts measuring the average
temperature according to the tunnel sensors
and starts using the tunnel inlet static pres-
sure limits and alarm limits. This ventilation
mode is optional in a turkey facility.

As the room temperature rises, the controller can start opening the tunnel inlet before
closing the sidewall vents in order to create
a smooth transition between lateral & tunnel
ventilation. This transition is optional.
In lateral mode, ventilation is provided by
chosen sidewall fans and the air intake is
provided by the sidewall and/or attic vents.

6.2. Minimum Ventilation
Minimum ventilation cycles are activated
when the room temperature is lower than the
start temperature of the first fan stage. Running the fans even though ventilation is not
required for reducing the room temperature
is useful to reduce humidity levels and supply
oxygen to the room. It also prevents the fans
from freezing in winter.
Minimum ventilation can only be used
if at least 1 fan output is enabled in
the Set-up menu (see section 4.4).
6.2.1. Minimum Ventilation Timer
The minimum ventilation timer is composed
of an “O n Ti me” and of a “C ycle Time” . The
fans run during the “On T ime” and then stop
until the end of the “C yc le T ime”. This timer
is common to all programs of the controller.

user-defined selection of fans and/or tunnel
fans. To identify the fans/tunnel fans that
are used in minimum ventilation, set their
operating mode to “Timer” or “Tmr, clo attic”
in the “On/Off Settings” menu. Refer to the
lateral or tunnel fan sections of this manual
to assign these fan operating modes (sections
6.3.1 & 6.5.3).

6.2.3.3. Fan Cycling
In minimum ventilation, the controller can
make a rotation of the fans selection between
consecutive cycles. This rotation allows running the fan motors evenly and regularly. In
order to use fan cycling, you must specify
how many fans must be activated simultaneously and specify after how many cycles they
must switch.
Here is an example of fan cycling with 4 fans.

2. Set the following parameters:
Fans per cycle — Select how many cycling
fans must be activated simultaneously in a
minimum ventilation cycle. Only the fans that
are labeled “C ycle” will make a rotation from
one minimum ventilation cycle to the other.
The fans that are labeled “O n” are the regular
minimum ventilation fans used in all minimum
ventilation cycles.
Only the fans that are not used in timer
mode in minimum ventilation can do the
fan rotation. Giving a fan the “Cycle”
label will thus automatically disable the
“Timer” mode for that fan in the On/Off
Settings menu and vice-versa.
Change fan cycle — Select after how many
minimum ventilation cycles the selection of
cycling fans must switch. This parameter
ranges from 1 to 1,000 cycles.
Fan#x / Tun#x— To use a fan/tunnel fan according to the above fan cycling parameters,
set its status to “C yc le”.
6.2.4. Air Intake in Min Ventilation
The air intake in minimum ventilation can
be provided by the attic vent or by sidewall
vents. During the Time ON portion of the
minimum ventilation cycle, the vent opens
during the “Vent Pre-opening” and then starts
moving according to its respective static
pressure limits. During the Time OFF portion
of the minimum ventilation cycle, the vent
stays closed.
Pre-Opening of the Vents: The pre-opening
delay is used to pre-open the vents (sidewall
& attic vents) before activating the fans at the
startup of each minimum ventilation cycle. The
controller can use a steady pre-opening delay
or can set this delay automatically. Refer to
the Set-up menu in section 4.4 to enable/
disable the automatic pre-opening function
and refer to section 6.3.2 to set this delay if
the automatic function is not used.
Automatic Pre- Opening Delays: If the automatic pre-opening function is used, the
controller refers to the time it actually took
for the vents to reach the desired pressure
range the last time they had to open and then
sets the next pre-opening delay accordingly.
Refer to section 6.3.2 to set the preopening delay & the static pressure limits.

Attic Compensation on the Min Ventilation Air Intake
When the PRO-VISION operates in minimum
ventilation and the attic temperature is warm
enough, the controller can extract the warm
air from the attic by increasing the operating
time of the fans. When this compensation is
on, the controller automatically adjusts the
“O n Time“ portion of the minimum ventilation
timer as a function of the room temperature.

If the room temperature is higher than the cutoff point of the attic compensation and then
starts decreasing, the “On T ime” becomes
fully compensated when the room temperature falls to the attic compensation’s cut-off
point (“Attic stop comp. at”). The “O n Ti me” then
starts decreasing gradually, in a linear fashion, as the room temperature falls. The “On

If the room temperature is cooler than the
“Attic start comp at” value and the attic temperature is equal or higher than this start-up
point, the “On Time” of the minimum ventilation cycle is fully compensated in order to
extract a maximum level of heat from the
attic (the fans are always on). As the room
temperature rises and reaches the compensation’s start-up point, the “On Time” starts
decreasing gradually, in a linear fashion, as
the room temperature increases. The “On
Ti me” finally stops being compensated when
the room temperature is warm enough and
reaches the “Room Stop T°” value. At the end
of the compensation, the minimum ventilation
“On Ti me” goes back to its regular value, and
the sidewall vent starts being used jointly
with the attic vent.

6.3. Lateral Ventilation
Lateral ventilation can only be used if

6.3.1. Lateral Ventilation Fans
Lateral ventilation begins at the startup of
the first fan stage and ends at the startup of
the ventilation mode that follows (i.e natural
or tunnel ventilation).
A fan output starts running when the room
temperature reaches its “On Temperature”;
likewise, it stops when the room temperature
falls to its “Off Temperature”.
The temperatures at which a fan starts and
stops are related to the temperature set point.
This mean they are automatically adjusted
when the temperature set point changes.

6.3.2. Attic & Sidewall Vents based on Temperature
The controller can control the opening of two
vent outputs in lateral ventilation: a sidewall
vent and an attic vent. These vent outputs
can either move as a function of temperature
(timer mode) or as a function of static pressure. Set the operating mode of the vents in
the Set-up menu (see section 4.4).
This section shows how the vents move when
they are controlled by temperature:
Principle of Operation:
When timer-based vents are used, you must
first specify the total time required to open
each actuator and then associate an opening
with the start-up of each fan stage (openings
are defined as a percentage of the total opening time). As the room temperature increases
and new stages are activated, the vents will
open or close accordingly.
Additional Curtain Inlet
It is possible to use one natural curtain output in lateral and minimum ventilation. When
a curtain is used in one of these ventilation
mode, it follows the same movements as the
vent inlet. Enable the “Curtain Inlet” option in
section 4.4 to use this supplementary inlet in
lateral ventilation.
Actuator Reset for Timer Vents
The controller must reset the position of the
actuator for each timer-based vent to make
sure the vent position is always accurate. This
reset is performed automatically according to
one of these two methods:
1. Reset the minimum position only
(Close mode): Each time a reset is performed,
the vent totally closes. Once the actuator’s
position is reset, the vent returns to its previous position.
2. Reset toward the nearest position: If the
current vent position is higher than 50% at the
reset time, the controller fully opens the vent to
reset the actuator’s position; if the current vent
position is lower than 50%, the controller closes
the actuator to perform the reset. This way, the
vent never closes when the room temperature
already asks for a wide opening.
Make sure limit switches are located at
both ends of the actuators when using
this resetting method.

6.3.3. Attic & Sidewall Vents based on Static Pressure
The controller can control the opening of two
vent outputs in lateral ventilation: a sidewall
vent and an attic vent. These vent outputs
can either move as a function of temperature
(timer mode) or as a function of static pressure. Set the operating mode of the vents in
the Set-up menu (see section 4.4).
This section shows how sidewall & attic vents
move when they are controlled according to
the static pressure level:
Additional Curtain Inlet
It is possible to use one natural curtain output
in lateral and minimum ventilation. When a
curtain is used in one of these ventilation
mode, it follows the same movements as the
vent inlet. Enable the “Curtain Inlet” option in
section 4.4 to use this supplementary inlet
in lateral ventilation.
Principle of Operation
Static-pressure-based vent doors (inlets)
open or close as a function of the static
pressure level in the room. They open when
the static pressure level exceeds the high
pressure set point or close when the static
pressure level is lower than the low pressure
set point. The graph below illustrates this
process.
6.3.3.1. Compensation on Pressure Set Points
The controller can automatically adjust the
static pressure set points being used by the
sidewall vents according to the inside or outside temperature as shown below.
Refer to the Set-up menu in section 4.4 to
enable the vent inlet adjustment option.
1) According to Outside Temperature
If an outside temperature sensor is used,
the controller can automatically adjust the
static pressure limits used by sidewall vents
according to the outside temperature. Using
higher pressure limits in cold weather allows
reducing the cold air intake since the pressure
level has to be higher before the vents start
opening. Likewise, using lower pressure limits
in warm weather allows the vents to move
with fewer restrictions.
2) According to Inside Temperature
The controller can use a different set of high
and low pressure set points when the room
temperature reaches a certain point.

Attic Vents Lo/Hi Pressure Limits — Set the
static pressure level below/above which the
attic vent must close/open. * This parameter is
accessible if a pressure-based attic vent is enabled
in the Set-up menu (see section 4.4).

Wind Delay — When the pressure level gets
out of range, the vents wait for the end of the
“Wi nd D ela y” before moving; they only move if
the high or low pressure condition is valid all
along this delay. This way, the vents do not
move if a wind draft causes fleeting changes
in the pressure level. Set the “Wind Dela y” to
the desired value. *Note that this parameter is
common to all air inlets (sidewall vent, attic vent
and tunnel inlets).
Pre- opening Vents — Specify how much
time is required to pre-open the sidewall

6.4. Natural Ventilation
The controller can control the opening of
8 natural ventilation curtains. In the natural
ventilation mode, all the fans are off and the
air intake is provided by the natural curtains
and by the tunnel inlet (if applicable). This
ventilation mode is only accessible in breeder
or turkey facilities. Refer to section 4.4 to
select the type of facility in use.
The natural ventilation is only accessible in a turkey or breeder facility (see
section 4.4).
Note that the static pressure alarm
conditions are not monitored while the
controller is in natural ventilation.
Beginning of Natural Ventilation: The controller enters in natural ventilation when
temperature reaches the start temperature of
a natural ventilation curtain. At that moment,
the controller makes the natural curtain open
to its initial position and closes the lateral &
attic vents.
Stopping the Fans in Natural Ventilation: The
controller switches off all the fan outputs
(lateral & tunnel fans) when the temperature
reaches the fans shutoff point (“Shutoff fans
at”).
Movement of the curtains in natural ventilation: A natural ventilation curtain opens to its
initial position when temperature reaches its
respective start temperature. The curtain then
opens gradually towards its maximum opening
as temperature increases; it finally reaches its
maximum opening when temperature reaches
the “Max Open T°” temperature value.

When a curtain reaches a particular position
and stops, a temperature variation of at least
0.5°F must occur for the curtain’s position to
be readjusted. An “Off Ti me” is also defined
to leave a sufficient amount of time between
2 movements of the curtain.
Note that if the tunnel inlet is enabled,
this inlet will follow the same movements
as natural curtain 1.
Transition from Natural to Tunnel: At the
start-up of tunnel ventilation, the natural
ventilation curtains close completely and the
tunnel inlet opens in the meanwhile. When the
natural ventilation curtains are totally closed,
the tunnel inlet reaches its required position
and the controller activates the proper fans
and tunnel fans.
Transition from Tunnel to Natural: Tunnel
ventilation ends when the temperature gets
lower than the stop temperature of the first
tunnel fan stage. At that moment the natural
ventilation curtain opens completely and the
tunnel inlet opens in the meanwhile. When
half the opening time of the natural curtain
has elapsed, the controller switches off all the
tunnel fans and the tunnel inlet starts moving
along with natural curtain 1.
Transition from Natural to Lateral: When the
controller goes back to lateral ventilation,
the sidewall vents will open during the same
amount of time it takes for the natural curtains to reach their first opening.

6.5. Tunnel Ventilation
6.5.1. Principle of Operation
The tunnel ventilation mode begins at the
startup of a chosen tunnel fan output. If the
lateral ventilation mode precedes the tunnel
ventilation mode, the controller can make a
smooth transition between both modes by
opening the tunnel inlet prior to closing the
sidewall vents. Refer to the following section of this manual to specify the moment at
which the transition begins and the moment
at which tunnel ventilation is fully enabled.
Temperature Sensors in Tunnel Ventilation:
When it is in tunnel ventilation, the controller
measures the room temperature according
to the temperature sensors that are associated with the tunnel fan output in use. The
sensors that are being used in tunnel ventilation are specially defined to compensate for
changes in airflow patterns that can distort
the room temperature. Refer to section 4.5
to select the temperature sensors used in
tunnel ventilation.
Air Intake in Tunnel Ventilation: In tunnel ventilation, the air intake is exclusively provided
by the tunnel inlets (the sidewall vent, attic
vents and natural curtains are closed). Up to
2 tunnel inlets can operate as a function of
the static pressure level or as a function of
the room temperature. Refer to section 4.4
of this manual to enable the tunnel inlets and
to choose their operating mode.
Low Static Pressure Alarm Limit: If the low
pressure alarm condition is used, the pressure
limit at which the alarm occurs changes when
the controller enters in tunnel ventilation. Refer to section 13. 2.6 to set the low pressure
limit used in tunnel ventilation.
Refer to the previous section to see how
the transition is made between natural
to tunnel ventilation.
6.5.2. Tunnel Ventilation in Standby
The controller allows putting tunnel ventilation on standby at any moment or to disable
tunnel ventilation on specific controller
programs.
The standby option is useful to prevent the
tunnel inlet from opening when the animals
are too young or when it is too cold outside for
instance. When this ventilation is on standby
and the room temperature is suitable for tunnel ventilation, the controller will not switch
to tunnel ventilation and will keep using the
highest level of ventilation.

6.5.3. Tunnel Fans
A tunnel fan output starts running when the
room temperature reaches the output’s “On
Temperature”; likewise, it stops when the room
temperature falls to its “Off Temperature”.
The temperatures at which a tunnel fan starts
and stops are related to the temperature
set point. This mean they are automatically
adjusted when the temperature set point
changes.

On & Off Columns:
Temperatures — Set the room temperature
at which each tunnel fan starts and below
which it stops. *The On Temperature of a tunnel
fan must be greater than its Off Temperature.
Mode Column: This column tells the controller to execute a particular function at the
startup of a tunnel fan output or allows giving
the output a special attribute. Set the mode
of each tunnel fan output as follows (set the
mode to “—” if nothing applies to an output).
Timer — The “Ti mer” label identifies a
tunnel fan output that is used in minimum
ventilation. A tunnel fan that has this label
runs according to a timer in minimum ventilation and runs continuously when the room
temperature reaches its “On Temperature”.
The Timer label automatically dissapears
if the fan uses the cycling feature (see
section 6.2.3.3.
Start tunnel — The “Start tunnel” label indi-
cates the moment at which the transition
from lateral to tunnel ventilation begins: the
first tunnel inlet starts being used at the
start-up of that tunnel fan and the sidewall
vent keeps being used.
Close sidewall — The “Close sidewall” label
indicates the moment at which lateral ventilation ends. The sidewall vent closes at the
startup of the chosen tunnel fan and the tunnel ventilation mode becomes fully effective

Start tunnel 2 — The second tunnel inlet
starts being used at the startup of the selected tunnel fan output.
Fan Shutoff Column:
Fan Shutoff — The controller can disable
some lateral fans at the startup of chosen
tunnel fan outputs. Select the moment at
which each lateral fan must stop (if applicable). Note that when a fan is stopped, it
will not restart until the controller re-enters
in lateral ventilation.
If a low static pressure alarm occurs in
tunnel ventilation after the fans were
shutoff, the controller automatically
goes back to the ventilation level that
preceded the fan shutoff and displays
the following message on screen: “Min

and then access the Alarm Log menu
to acknowledge the alarm.

2 tunnel inlets. These inlets either operate as
a function of the static pressure level or as a
function of temperature. Refer to the Set-up
menu in section 4.4 to enable the tunnel inlets
and to choose their operating mode.
If 2 tunnel inlets are used, they both follows
the same movements. However, both tunnel
inlets do not start being used at the same time.
The 1st inlet starts being used at the beginning
of tunnel ventilation and the 2nd inlet starts at
the startup of another user-defined tunnel fan
output. Refer to the previous section of this
manual to set the moment at which the 2nd
tunnel inlet starts being used.
6.5.4.1. Temperature-based Tunnel Inlet
When using temperature-based tunnel inlets,
the user must associate an actuator position
with the startup of each tunnel fan. This
way, when a fan/tunnel fan starts, the inlet
opens accordingly. The tunnel inlet starts
opening this way at the beginning of tunnel
ventilation. The graph below shows how the
tunnel inlet opens. Refer to Set-up menu in
section 4.4 to enable a temperature-based
tunnel inlet.
Pre- opening of the Tunnel Inlet: At the beginning of tunnel ventilation, the controller waits
for the tunnel inlet to reach half of its programmed position before activating the fans
(or waits 30 seconds, whichever is shorter).

6.5.4.2. Pressure-based Tunnel Inlets
Opening of the Tunnel I nlet:
If the tunnel inlets are controlled by static
pressure, the first inlet start moving according to the fluctuations in the pressure level
when the controller enters in tunnel ventilation. It open when the pressure level exceeds
the high pressure limit and closes when the
pressure level gets lower than the low pressure limit. If the second tunnel inlet is used,
it start moving the same way at the startup
of a subsequent tunnel fan output.
The graph below shows how the tunnel inlet
actually moves. Refer to Set-up menu in
section 4.4 to enable pressure-based tunnel
inlets.
Pre-Opening of the Tunnel Inlet:
A pre-opening delay is used to pre-open the
first tunnel inlet before activating the tunnel
fans. The controller pre-opens the tunnel inlet
for the 1st time when the transition from lateral
to tunnel ventilation starts and makes another
pre-opening at the very beginning of tunnel
ventilation (i.e., at the startup of the tunnel
fan that asks for sidewall vents to close). In
both cases, the controller waits for the end of
the pre-opening delay before starting the fans.

Pre-opening 2 — Specify how much time is
required to pre-open the tunnel inlet at the
startup of tunnel ventilation (when the transition from sidewall to tunnel ventilation is over).
The controller will pre-open the tunnel inlet
before activating the fans at the startup of the
tunnel fan that is labeled “Close sidewall” (refer
to section 6.5.3). If no transition is made, this
delay is simply added to the initial pre-opening
de lay. * * This parameter is accessible if the tun-
nel inlet operates according to static pressure level
(see section 4.4).
Stop tun fans on pre-open? — Some tunnel
fans can be used before entering in tunnel
ventilation. Select “Yes” to stop these tunnel
fans during the pre-opening of the tunnel
inlet or select “ No” to let them run during
the pre-opening.

6.6. Stir Fans
The controller has 1 stir fan output that can
either be used in minimum ventilation or
when the room temperature gets lower than
a user-defined limit. Refer to the Set-up menu
to enable the desired operating mode of this
output (section 4.4).
Stir Fans in Minimum Ventilation: When they
are used in minimum ventilation the stir fans
only run during the “Of f T ime” portion of the
minimum ventilation cycles. This ensures
good air circulation when the exhaust fans
are not running.
Stir Fans as a Function of Temperature: When
they operate as a function of temperature, the
stir fans run in timer mode when the average temperature is lower than the output’s
“On Temperature” and stop when the room
temperature rises and reaches the output’s
“Off Temperature”.

6.7. Cooling Output
The controller has 6 cooling outputs that can
be used to activate various types of cooling
devices.
A cooling output starts operating in timer
mode when the average temperature reaches
its “ON Temperature”. The “ON Tim e” portion
of the timer then increases as the temperature rises and reaches its maximum value
when the room temperature reaches the
“Max Run T°”. The graph below sums up this
situation.

Reference Temperature: Each cooling/fogger
output operates according to the average
temperature reading of its respective group
of sensors. Refer to section 4.5 to assign
these sensors. The operating temperatures
of the cooling outputs are also related to the
temperature set point. This means that if the
temperature set point changes the ON & OFF
temperatures of these outputs are adjusted
consequently.
Cooling Output in the Egg Room: The controller can control a supplementary cooling
output in the egg room. This output operates
differently from the cooling outputs that are
used in the rest of the house. Refer to chapter 11 of this manual to get information about

7. HEATING
Heaters in a breeder, broiler or layer facility:
If the controller is used in a breeder, broiler or
layer production, it can use up to 16 heaters.
In addition, the PRO-VISION can simulate
additional heating outputs with the Hi Fire
option. When this option on, the controller
doubles the number of heaters in use and
each simulated heater (Hi Fire Step) operates
as a regular heater, with its own start/stop
temperatures, relay selection and selection
of sensors. Refer to section 4.4 to activate
the Hi fire option.
Heaters in a turkey facility: If the controller
is used in a turkey facility, up to 32 independent heaters can be enabled and each one
of them operates with its own start/stop
temperatures, relay selection and selection
of sensors.

8. LIGHTS
8.1. Principle of Operation
The controller has two 0-10V outputs that
can be used to control the light intensity.
Additional lights can also be connected to the
On/Off relays: the on/off lights simply turn on
when the 0-10V light output is on. Refer to
section 4.4 to enable light programs and refer
to section 4.7 to assign the on/off light relays.
Light Programs: The controller can use 9
different light programs containing 6 daily
cycles each. The same program is performed
every day until another program replaces it
(the program selection is made according to
the animal age).
Light Cycles: Up to 6 daily light cycles can be
performed in the course of a light program.
These cycles are used to change the light
intensity over the day (see graph below).
Light Peaks: A light peak is a marked increase
in the light intensity. They are used to stimulate the animals. When light peaks are used,
they are performed right after the sunrise, at
the very beginning of a light cycle and are
then performed on a regular basis, according
to a user-defined timer.

9. TIME CLOCKS
9.1. Regular Time Clocks
Time clock outputs used in a breeder
production operate differently from the
time clocks presented in this section.
Refer to next section for more information
about time clocks for breeders.
The controller can control 12 time clocks
outputs using 8 cycles each. They are used
to activate different kind of devices using
the real-time clock and can be programmed
in two different ways:
1. Clock Loop Feeding Mode — The time
clock starts running for the first time when
it reaches the “Start Time”. From this moment,
the output runs according to a timer that is
repeated at a user-defined frequency. *The
clock loop feeding mode is not available in a bree der
production.

All parameters below are related to the chosen output.
Start — Set the time at which each cycle
starts. NB. Use the “A M / PM ” key to change
the time indicator (if required).
Stop — Set the time at which each cycle
stops. The controller automatically adjusts
this parameter if the entered value does not
allow all clock cycles to be performed the
same day. NB. Use the “A M/PM ” key to change
the time indicator (if required).
Run — If the output is activated at regular
intervals inside the clock cycle, set the
run time to the desired value (in hours and

10. WATER LINE FLUSH
The controller can flush 8 water line outputs
in turn and can repeat the flushing process up
to 4 times a day. Note that 2 water lines can
be connected to each water line output.
Water Flush Cycle: When a water flush cycle
starts, the controller flushes all water line
outputs in turn : after having flushed a water
line output, it waits for a certain delay before
flushing the lines of the next output. In all,
up to 4 cycles can be performed each day.
Make sure all water flush cycles can be
performed within the same day (between
12:00am and 11:59pm).
Water Flush Program: A water flush program
is the combination of all water flush cycles
that are performed in a day. The water flush
parameters must be associated with a particular program which starts at a specific age.
Using multiple programs is useful to adapt the
frequency and the duration of the flushing
cycles as the birds are growing. Up to 5 different water flush programs can be defined.

11. EGG ROOM OUTPUTS
If it is used in a breeder facility the controller
automatically enables an egg room and controls the ambient temperature and humidity
level of in it with its 3 egg room outputs (egg
room cooling, heating and humidity outputs).
Refer to the Set-up menu in section 4.4 to
select in what type of facility the controller
is located (breeder, broiler, layer or turkey).
When the egg room is used, the PRO-VISION
also keeps a tally of the number of eggs produced each day (the egg tally includes the
daily count of produced, cracked and floor
eggs as well as the daily average egg weight)
and finally allows setting the time clocks with
a weekly schedule. Refer to section 14.4 to
access the egg count menu and refer to section 9.1 to set the egg room time clocks.
Reference Temperature: All egg room outputs
operate according to the egg room temperature. Refer to section 4.5 to select which
temperature sensors are located in this room.
Relative Humidity in the Egg Room: If the
egg room is enabled and the controller uses a
relative humidity (RH) sensor, the RH sensor
must be located inside the egg room.
Egg Room Heating Output: The controller can
control 1 heating output in the egg room. This
output starts when the egg room temperature
gets lower than its “On Temperature” and stops
when the egg room temperature reaches its
“Off Temperature”.

12. RELATIVE HUMIDITY (RH) COMPENSATION
The controller can automatically adjust the
value of certain parameters as a function of
the relative humidity (RH) level. This section
explains how each RH compensation function
works and how to program them.
12.1. High RH Comp.on the Min Vent. Timer
The controller can compensate for a high
humidity levels by increasing the level of minimum ventilation. As the RH level rises, the
controller increases the “On Time” portion of
the minimum ventilation timer to compensate
for the change. The maximum compensated
“On Ti me” is reached when the RH level is
10% above the RH set point.
Refer to section 5.1 to adjust the RH set point
and refer to the Set-up menu in section 4.4
to enable this RH compensation method (“Use
RH min vent. compensation”).

13.2.3. Outdoor Temperature Compensation
The outside temperature probe can be used to
prevent false temperature alarms that are due
to warm weather conditions. When the outside temperature is already warmer than the
high alarm limit, the controller automatically
changes the high temperature alarm limit. The
high limit becomes the Outside Temperature + T°
Comp Offset. In other words, when the outside
temperature is too high, the high temperature
alarm is only set off if the zone temperature
exceeds the outside temperature by more
than X degrees (X being the offset value). The

13.2.6. Static Pressure Alarms
The controller can set off an alarm when
the static pressure (S.P.) level exceeds the
high or low pressure alarm limit for a certain
period of time.
• Low Static Pressure Alarm: When a low
pressure alarm occurs, the controller switches
on the alarm relay and the low SP fan.
The Low Pressure alarm is not monitored while the controller is in natural
ventilation.
• Low Static Pressure Alarm in Minimum
Ventilation: In minimum ventilation, the con-
troller only monitors the low pressure alarm
condition while the fans are running (i.e.,
during the “On Tim e” portion of the minimum
ventilation cycle).
• High Static Pressure Alarm:
When a high static pressure alarm occurs the
controller switches on the alarm relay and
brings proper corrective actions (see below).
This type of alarm ends when the pressure
level gets back in the normal pressure range
and after being acknowledged by the user.
- If the high pressure alarm occurs during
lateral ventilation, the controller opens all air
inlets (sidewall vent, attic vent and tunnel
inlets) and lets them open continuously until
the pressure level gets back in the acceptable
pressure range.
- If the high pressure alarm occurs while being in natural ventilation, the controller stops
all the fans for 1 minute, makes the natural
curtains open for 1 minute and makes them
go back to their normal opening afterwards.
• Min Fan Restart:
If a low static pressure alarm occurs in tunnel ventilation after the fans were shutoff,
the controller automatically goes back to
the ventilation level that preceded the fan
shutoff and displays the following message
on screen : “Min Fan Restart”. Make corrective
actions and then access the Alarm Log menu
to acknowledge the alarm.
1. Select:

The controller can also adjust the water spill
limit of each water meter automatically as the
animals are growing. The water spill alarm
limit changes in a linear fashion between 2
user-defined steps: the first step being the
maximum water consumption allowed at
day 0 and the second step being the maximum consumption at the “End Age”.

menus are accessible if a water meter is enabled in
the Set-up menu (see section 4.4).
Mortal — This menu contains the daily
number of mortalities recorded in the past
400 days (or since the beginning of the flock).
14.3. Animal Age & Count
Animal Age: Some parameters of the control-
ler can automatically change over time as the
animals grow up (temperature ramps, light
programs, etc.).
Animal Count & Mortality: In order to keep
the animal count, you must first specify the
initial number of animals at the beginning of a
flock. You must then update the animal count
when mortality occurs.
1. Select:
Main menu
* Start Flock
* A complete-access password may be required to
access this menu (see section 4.2.1).
On top of the “Start ock” menu are some
information about the current breeding (total
number of mortalities, # of remaining birds
and loss rate). These values are displayed
as a reference only and cannot be modified.
2. Set the following parameters:
Start Flock — Before starting a new flock,
make sure the number of birds placed is set
properly.
ALL information contained in the history
menus of the controller are reset when
a new flock starts.
Age — The animal age ranges from -5 days
to 450 days. Negative day values are used to
prepare the house before letting the animals in.
Nb Birds — Specify the initial number of birds.
New Mortality — Enter the number of mortali-
ties. Once it is validated, the value automatically goes back to “0” and the is added to
the “Morta lit y” count and removed from the
“Remaining” count. Use the +/- key to enter
a negative value in case a mistake is made.

14.5. Operation Costs & Current Consumption
If there are current sensors on some of the
controller outputs, the PRO-VISION can display the operation cost and amperage draw of
these outputs. Refer to section 4.7 to assign
a current sensor to a relay.
1. Select:
Main menu
History
2. Select the “Actual Current” tab with the
menu selectors to display the amperage draw
of all the outputs that are using a current sensor. * This tab is accessible if at least 1 relay uses a
current sensor and if this relay is actually assigned
to an output (see section 4.7).
Actual curre nt draw
He at 1 0.0A
Fa n 1 0.0A
T un 1 0.0A
...
3. Select the “Operation Cost” tab with the
menu selectors to see operation cost calculated for each output that uses a current sensor.
15. UPDATE & BACKUP
The PRO-VISION can read and write on
standard USB memory cards which makes it
easy to create a backup of you controller or
to upload a new configuration in it. Note that
once your system’s configuration is saved on
a memory card, it can then be transferred on
a home computer, palm pilot or it can be uploaded in another controller of the same type.
NO USB memory card is provided with
the system. You can purchase one in
any good electronic store.
Connecting the Memory Card: Open the
latches and lift the cover. Now, insert the
USB card in the USB connector located on
the electronic board inside the enclosure.
On the left hand side of the screen are today’s
egg count values. Update these values as
required. On the right hand side are yesterday’s values. These values are displayed for
comparison purposes only, they cannot be
modified.
Ope ration co st
Ite ms Today Total
H eat 1 0.00 $ 0.0 0$
Fan 1 0.0 0$ 0.00$
Tun 1 0.00 $ 0.00 $
...
The total cost recorded since the beginning
of the flock is also displayed. Note that the
operation cost is determined as a function of
the run time of the output and as a function
of the electricity rates. Please refer to the
Set-up menu in section 4.4 to specify the
current electricity rates. * This tab is acce ssible if
at least 1 relay uses a current sensor and if the relay
is assigned to an output (see section 4.7).
USB connector
Configuration Files (*.pkg): The controller
only recognizes the configuration files with
the *.pkg extension. In addition, the files
must be located at the root of the USB memory card otherwise, the controller will not see
them (it cannot access any sub-directory). In
order to erase or rename a configuration file,
you must access your USB memory card via
a computer (or palm pilot).
Furthermore, when uploading one of these
files in the control, it is possible to upload
only 1 of its 2 components: the software or
the parameters settings. It is thus possible to
upgrade your controller without loosing your
parameter settings for instance.

2. Making a backup:
Press the “Save All” tab in order to save your
PRO-VISION software and parameter settings on the USB card. Each time you make a
backup of your control, the controller creates
a new PRO-VISION~X.pkg file at the root of
the memory card. If this file name already
exists, it will be saved under a different
name (“PRO-VISION~1.pkg” for instance).
This way, the controller will never erase a
file on the card.
3. Loading new settings and/or software:
In order to load a new software and/or parameter settings, select the desired configuration
file from the scrolling list and then select the
proper “Update” tab with the menu selector.
Here are the different possibilities:
The PRO-VISION can only read the files
located at the root of the USB memory
card. It cannot access any sub-directory!
Activate LED — Use this function to test both
colors of the alarm LED.
Activate LCD Test — Use this function to test
the LCD screen.
Activate Alarm relay — Use this function to
test the alarm relay.
Activate output relay — Type in the relay
number associated with the output you want
to test or type “0” to end this test.
Activate 0-10V test — Select “Yes” to enable
the 0-10V test.
0-10V #x output value — Assign the desired
voltage to the 0-10V output. The actual 0-10V
reading is displayed below. If the assigned
value does not match the output reading,
make sure there is no electrical noise on the
output and make sure that the load connected
to the output does not exceed the allowable
range (30 mA max). *T his parameter is accessible
if the 0-10V test is enabled above.
0-10V #x output reading — This is the actual
voltage reading of the 0-10V output. It cannot
be modified.
Update soft — Press this tab in order to load
the software of the selected file into your
PRO-VISION controller. This will affect the
software of the controller without affecting
your parameter settings.
Update settings — Press this tab in order to
load the parameter settings of the selected
file into your PRO-VISION controller. This
transfer will affect the parameter settings
of the controller without affecting the software.
Update all — Press this tab in order to load the
software & parameter settings of the selected
file into your PRO-VISION controller. This will
affect the software and parameter settings
of the controller.
4. Once the transfer is over the controller
automatically reboots itself.
5. You can now remove the USB card from
the connector.
Communication in use x% — This is the
communication rate currently being used by
your controller. If this value gets higher than
100%, the reaction time of your controller is
likely to slow down. In order to decrease the
communication rate, you can either remove
some current sensors from the relay panels
or switch to the high-speed communication
mode (on condition that your application
exclusively uses relay panels with the “CS”
technology). *Refer to section 4.4 to change the
communication speed.
