2 Precautions

Grounding
Checking the Battery Level
Filtering
Frequency Inverters

2.1 Grounding

Always connect temperature and sensor shields to earth ground. Avoid mixing high voltage wiring with sensor and low voltage wiring.
Keep the controller as far as possible from heavy contactor boxes and other sources of electrical interference.
Do not connect communication wire shields, which go from one house to another at both ends. Connect them at one end only. Connection at both ends can cause ground loop currents to flow, which reduce reliability.
The COM connection for communications is not the shield wire. The COM, RX and TX wires must connect to each other at all controllers.

2.2 Checking the Battery Level

Check the battery once a year. The output must be 2.7 volts (minimum). Authorized personnel only must replace the battery if the output is below the minimum required level or every five years.

2.3 Filtering

If this installation includes a power inverter to drive variable speed fans, install an EMI filter in front of the inverter, according to the specifications provided by the inverter manufacturer. Referto the inverter documentation.

2.4 Frequency Inverters

Frequency inverters can cause severe electrical and electromagnetic interference. Therefore, when employing a frequency inverter, it is critical that you carefully follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
In particular verify:
that the cable shielding between the inverter and any motor meets industry standards
proper grounding of the inverter's chassis and motor power cable
proper grounding of low voltage cable shield wire
that the controller and inverter cables are kept in separate conduits or wire bundles

4 Mechanical Installation Guide

These units must be installed by an authorized electrician. Power must be disconnected to avoid electrical shock and damage.
To avoid exposing the controllers to harmful gases or high humidity, it is recommended to install it in the service room.
NOTE Installation Category (Over voltage Category) II
The power supply to the controller should be protected by 10 amps circuit breaker
All electrical connections should comply with National Electrical code (NEC)
1. Screw the metal sheet on the back of the box using the 4 supplied screws. Mount the Farm Master Pro through the mounting holes (see next page).
2. Open the enclosure lid by unfastening the four screws.
3. Drill holes at bottom of the box and place cable holders.
4. Place the required cables through the cable holders at the bottom of the unit. Connect the wires according to the wiring diagrams.
5. Make sure that you use wires large enough for the load of the variable speed.
6. To connect temperature and humidity sensors use shielded two or four conductor #18-#24 gauge cables. Connect the shields to the Ground metal strip. Do not connect the shields to more than one point, or you may induce ground loop currents.
7. Close the Farm Master Pro enclosure lid carefully and tightly. Use RTV silicon or equivalent sealant to seal the cable holders.
8. After installation is completed, operate the Farm Master Pro for a few hours and re- check for proper operation.

4.1 Environmental Protection

packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling. The plastic components are labeled for categorized recycling.

4.2 Sensors and Shielded Wiring

For long shielded wires, connect the shield to ground at
From the ground terminal, run a heavy wire directly to the ground rod. It is acceptable, if necessary, to run the heavy ground wire to the electrical service grounding system rather than directly to the ground rod.
Do not use light wires for these ground connections. They must carry heavy lightning currents, sometimes exceeding thousands of amperes. Certainly, do not use the shielding of sensor and low voltage wiring for this purpose.
only.

one end
waterproof
Ensure that all ground connections go to a single local point. When lightning strikes, grounds a meter or two apart will be at significantly different voltages. If you have several electronic boxes with individual grounds, connect all these together to a single point (If Possible), preferably to the surge protector ground. This should continue to the ground rod or the electrical service. In particular, avoid grounding any controls remotely through shield wiring.
Do not use shields to create a path for lightning. For long shield wires, such as building to building runs, connect the shield to ground at
only, to reduce the chance of
conducting lightning from one building to another.
When splicing sensors to longer wires, ensure that the splice is
. Use adhesive lined
heat shrink (marine grade) to make waterproof connections.
Use a good compression connector for splicing. This is better than soldering. Do not simply twist wires together and then cover with electrical tape.
Keep sensor wiring separate from other power distribution and high voltage wiring. Ensure that lightning on other wiring will not transfer to the sensors.
Install outside temperature sensors so that the sun will not cause false readings, and so that exhaust air from the building will not affect the sensor.

4.3 Installation and Electrical Connections

Install computerized electronic controls at least one meter (three feet) away from interference sources such as high voltage wiring to motors, variable speed, light dimmers, relays.
Install electronic controls in a separate ventilated control room that is protected from extreme temperatures and dirty environments. Place the controls so that the operators can conveniently use the control and read indicators and displays.
Give your installation a professional appearance, with all wiring in conduit or neatly installed. Keep low voltage wires separate from high voltage wires.
Use shielded wiring for low level signals. For buried wiring (building to building runs) use high grade jell filled cables that are impervious to moisture.
Seal cable entry points and control boxes to prevent contamination and corrosion. If you use silicon sealant with acetic acid cure, keep the control open and ventilated until cured. Otherwise, the acetic acid will attack the metal parts, including circuitry.
Drill cable entry holes on the bottom of the box only.

4.5 Dip Switch Configuration

On the Farm Master Pro's CPU there are two parallel red dip switches, located on the left hand side of the PCB. If you want hardware protection during curtains' activity, make sure you connect the curtains in pairs, according relay numbers (1, 2; 3, 4; 5, 6; etc.) and to move the three matching dipswitches to off position. On the PCB is written which switch goes with the relay. Not doing so may result in the motors closing and opening the curtains simultaneously, due to bad configuration or programming on behalf of the user.

6.1 Temperature Curve

Farm Center Pro provides separate temperature curves for growth day, target temperature, heat temperature, tunnel temperature and low/high alarm temperatures. The controller creates a curve for each one and uses it as a reference. The program alters at midnight prior to the next day on the next row programmed. The controller maintains yesterday’s settings for every empty line; therefore it is not necessary to fill the entire table.
1. In Install > Analog Sensors (page 50), define the temperature sensors as required. When using more than one sensor, Farm Center Pro begins treatments based on the average.
2. In Install > Relays Layout, define the required number of relays as Heaters.
3. If required, go to System > Calibration > Temperature, and calibrate the sensors (page 47).
4. In Control > Temperature Curve, define the parameters
NOTE Set up to 20 lines, 999 growth days. When a curve is not required (for example when growing
layers), enter temperatures in the first line only.

How does it work?
o
Outside Temperature Cold: This parameter defines the temperature below which
ventilation is reduced to the minimal level defined when using Cold/Warm Min Max Ventilation. default: -5° C, minimum -20° C, maximum +20° C)
o
Outside Temperature Warm: This parameter defines the temperature above which
ventilation is increased to the minimal level defined when using Cold/Warm Min Max Ventilation. default: +20° C, minimum 0° C, maximum +40° C)
If the outside temperature is above 70° F (heat temperature) the controller operates according to the Min Warm levels.
If the inside temperature is below 66° F (Soft Temp) the controller works according to Min Cold levels. When the temperature is between 70° F and 66° F the controller creates a curve between the Min Cold and Min Warm levels. For example, in 68° F the controller operates in level 5.
When using Soft Min according to
temperature there is a curve between min warm and min cold, while decreasing levels. When temperature increases the level remains at the lowest level reached, until reaching the heat temperature.
When using Soft Min according to
temperature there is a curve between min warm and min cold while decreasing and increasing levels. To select the type of minimum/maximum go to system parameters and change the level control.
6.2.6 BY W
EIGHT
The By Weight option enables controlling the minimum air flow depending on the number of pigs, their weight and the current outside temperature. When using the Weight option, Farm Center Pro takes several parameters and calculates the air speed, level of ventilation and cycle time needed to supply the required volume. As opposed to the other ventilation methods, the Weight option is dynamic, with the ventilation changing according to the current parameters (quantity of air required, weight of animals and number of pigs, outside air temperature). In addition, Ventilation by Weight sends out an alarm if the current ventilation is below the minimum required level.

The usual way to program them is to start the first level with the least amount of air to be used.
The full circle represent continues fan operation.
The empty full circle represents cycle operation according to the on/off time set for each stage.
A dot represents no operation at all.
2. In System > Ventilation Levels > Help define:
o
Tunnel Exit Diff: Set the relative temperature for the outside sensor at which to exit tunnel.
The controller cannot exit tunnel until the outside temperature is less than tunnel temperature plus this differential. This number can be positive or negative. To eliminate the effect of this parameter on tunnel exit, enter a large positive number such as 90.0. Default: 0.0

o
Tunnel Exit – Out T Diff from Tunnel: This parameter sets amount below the tunnel entry
temperature at which to exit tunnel ventilation. Tunnel temperatures are determined by the sensors specified in Temperature Definition. Entry and exit is also controlled by these sensors. The controller can not exit tunnel until the tunnel temperature is this much less than the tunnel entry temperature. It must be a positive number. Default: 2.0
o
Tunnel Exit Delay (min): Delay time after satisfying tunnel exit conditions. Default: 5

o
Inc Delay Time: This is the standard minimum delay before increasing ventilation levels.
Default: 120 (sec)
o
Decrease Level Delay Time: This is the standard minimum delay before decreasing
ventilation levels. 180 (sec)
o
First Tunnel Level: Switching into and out of tunnel ventilation is a major change in
ventilation. For tunnel ventilation, enter the first tunnel level here. If set on 0 there is no tunnel level. Default: 0
The following table is an example of a proper ventilation setting. Note that tunnel is not noticeable on the current table and is set according to the system parameter- 1st tunnel level.

9.3 Curtain Levels

This screen sets the levels to which the curtains are opened.
Set the curtain levels to correspond with the ventilation levels. Some producers will want to open the tunnel curtain prior to the actual tunnel. This is convenient to control pressure in retrofit houses which may not have sufficient side inlets for the number of fans required in side ventilation.
You can also run the tunnel curtain under pressure control. In that event, the percent open settings become minimum settings. When the side vents are at 100%, if pressure requires, the controller opens the tunnel curtain to maintain the pressure setting.

9.4 Stir Fan

The stir fans mix the air inside the house and control temperature differentials between different parts of the house. This screen sets the relevant parameters.
