3.1 Temperature Curve
This screen sets the temperature targets according to the bird age.
1. In System > Sensors > Analog, designate the required number of sensors as temperature sensors.
When using more than one sensor, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch begins treatments based on
the average.
2. In System > Temperature Definition, assign specific sensors to devices. If a zone does not have
an assigned sensors, calculations are based on the current average temperature.
3. In Control > Temperature Curve, define the required target temperature curve.
o
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.
o
Define:
•
Day: Set the growth day. You can program negative growth days up to -2 for prewarming.
•
Target: Set the desired temperature.
•
Heat Off: Set the temperature at which heating ceases.
•
Low and High Alarm: Set temperature alarm limits.
•
Tunnel: Set the temperature at which tunnel ventilation begins.
4. In Management > Alarm Settings, set the alarms.
5. If required, click and set the parameters.

EMPERATURE CURVE HELP | SET DEFINITIONS
Define:
o
Temperature Curve Offset: Adjusts all temperature curves by this amount. You can use
this to temporarily adjust all temperatures up or down for special circumstances. The
curve appears in the Curve Status Hot Screen. Use the ENTER and Up or ENTER and
Down combinations to change the offset.
o
Set Temperature Change Reminder (Diff): Sets the change in set temperature that
triggers a reminder for you to set backup thermostats. Often producers forget to set
backup thermostats as their birds grow from baby chicks to market age, so the Platinum
Touch/Rotem One Touch reminds you. When you press Enter to acknowledge the
reminder, the Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch logs it in the Table of Events.
o
Target Temperature Band: The size of the target temperature zone. This "Happy Zone”
is between Target Temperature and (Target Temperature + Band).
o
Heater Temperature Band: Heaters turn on at ‘Band’ degrees below Heat, and turn off
at the Heat Temperature.
NOTE Heaters operate at minimum level only; however, Radiant Heaters can operate at any
temperature or level below Tunnel.
o
Cool Down Factor (%): Minimum percentage correction towards target during each
increase ventilation level delay. If average temperature does not decrease by this
amount, the Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch increases ventilation by one level.
o
Cool Down Fast Response (Deg.): Set a limit to the maximum degrees per minute of
cooling. If Average Temperature drops more than this in one minute, Platinum
Touch/Rotem One Touch decreases ventilation one level to avoid overshooting.
NOTE Avoid making this parameter too small or the normal temperature variation caused by timer
fans reduces the ventilation level.
o
Minimum Ventilation Below Heat Temp: Tells controller to go directly to minimum level
in some cases. Select from the following choices:
•
None: Operate by the normal level decrease time delay rule.
•
Zone: Go directly to minimum level if any active temperature sensor reaches heat
temperature.
•
Avg.: Go directly to minimum level if the average temperature reaches heat
temperature.
© Munters AB, 2018 15
o
Non Brood Area Diff. From Heat: Set differential temperature for non-brood
heaters. You normally use this to set temperatures in unoccupied areas (poultry modes
only).
NOTE When set at -99° F the heaters are effectively disabled, since it will probably never go to 99º F
below the heater temperature. Putting this parameter at 0º sets the non-brood areas to the
heater temperature.
3.1.2 C
YCLE HEATERS HELP | SET DEFINITIONS
Heat Cycle means providing heat in conjunction with the ventilation system during minimum ventilation
cycles, using heaters and fans connected to relays. When enabled, heaters operate during the fans’
cycle off time (as defined in the Cycle Heaters Help | Set Definitions parameters). How does it work?
Between the Heat Temperature and the differential temperature, heaters do not operate. When the
temperature goes below the Heat Off temperature minus the Low Heat Differential:
•
Heaters begin to operate when the exhaust or tunnel fans are off. Heaters operate for the
Minimum On Time.

ADIANT HEATERS HELP | SET DEFINITIONS
1. In System > Relay Layout define at least one relay as a radiant heater.
2. Define:
o
Radiant Low – Differential from Heat Set: Set degree of difference from Heat for LOW
Radiant Heaters to begin working. This differential can be positive or negative. (default:
2.0)
o
Radiant High – Differential (Below Low Set): Set number of degrees below Radiant
Low Heaters for HIGH Radiant Heaters to begin working (default: 1.0). To ensure
proper heater ignition, Radiant High Heaters remain on for the Radiant Ignition Time
along with the Radiant Low Heaters.
© Munters AB, 2018 17
o
Radiant Ignition Time (sec): Set number of seconds to power radiant ignition (default:
30).
NOTE The Heater Temperature Band applies to radiant heaters as well. For example, if the Heat
Temperature is 80º F and the Heater Temperature Band is 1º F, then heaters turn on at 79º F
and off at 80º F. If the Radiant Low Differential is at 2.0º F, than radiant heaters turn off at
82º F, and on 1º F below that at 81º F. However, a Radiant High Heater turns on regardless
of its temperature setting for the Radiant Ignition Time whenever the corresponding Radiant
Low Heater turns on. This feature ensures proper flame ignition.

4. Define the parameters as required.
3.1.4.1 Linear Heat
When Linear Mode is enabled:
•
Between the Heat Temperature and the Target temperature, heaters do not operate (meaning,
the output voltage is 0).
•
Between the Heat Temperature and the Low Difference Below Heat, heaters operate at the
minimum voltage output.
•
If the temperature continues to drop, the voltage output increases until it reaches the maximum
voltage output at the High Difference below Heat.
In this example:
•
Target Temperature is 80°
•
Temperature Curve Heat Off is 78°.
•
Low Heat Differential is 1°.
•
High Heat Differential is 8°.
o
If the temperature is between 77° to 78°, the output voltage is the minimum voltage
defined in Installation > Analog Output (1 volt in this example).
o
If the temperature continues to drop, the output voltage increases until it reaches the
maximum voltage defined in Installation > Analog Output. Output increases or
decreases to keep the temperature within the Target Temperature and Heat Off band.

•
Define:
o
Low Difference Below Heat: Temperature difference between the Heat Off parameter
at which the variable heater begins to function.
o

•
When the temperature falls below the user-defined point, the heaters begin operating at their
minimum output.
•
After the response time passes, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch checks the temperature. If it
is still below the defined point, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch increases the voltage by a
certain amount (this amount of the increase cannot be changed).
•
After the response time passes, the process is repeated until heaters operate at their maximum
output.
•
Define the parameters.
o
Difference Above Heat to Stop Heater: Differential from target temperature at which
the heater runs at minimal input.
o
High Difference Below Heat: High Difference Below Heat: Temperature at which the
heater begins to operate at maximum output.
o
Response Time (seconds): Amount of time before the controller begins to change the
ventilation.
3.1.4.3 Linear Valve
Linear Valve enables defining that variable heater input voltage is always equal to or above the minimum
input defined in Installation > Analog Sensors.
When the Analog Heat Mode is defined as having Linear Valve control, there is always a minimal
voltage input. Therefore, if the minimum voltage is 1 volts:
•
The voltage range is from 1 to 10 volts
o
this corresponds to 10% at 1V and 100% at 10V
o

Temp Choice for Soft Minimum: Select inside/outside/attic temperature to control
Minimum Level changes. The minimum level adjusts towards the Soft Min as this
temperature falls. Above the heat temperature, the minimum level is at the Min setting.
As temperature rises, INSIDE and ATTIC stay at lowest ventilation level reached until average
temperature gets to the heat setting, and then changes instantly. With the OUTSIDE selection, the
minimum ventilation level increases gradually as temperature rises to the heat setting. This means inside
and attic soft min vent choices to latch to the lowest level reached as long as the temperature remains
below the heat setting.

The By Weight option enables controlling the minimum air flow depending on the number of birds, their
weight and the current outside temperature. When using the Weight option, Platinum Touch/Rotem One
Touch 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 birds
and number of birds, outside air temperature). In addition, Ventilation By Weight sends out an alarm if
the current ventilation is below the minimum required level.
To set up the Weight Option:
1. In System > Setup, enable Minimum Ventilation.
2. In System > Temp Definition, define at least one temperature sensor as Outside.
3. In System > Fan Air Capacity, define the air capacity / hour.

3.2.4.1 Minimum/Maximum By Weight Help | Set Definitions
•
Define:
o
Warm Temperature – Difference Below Heat: Differential below the heat temperature
(refer to Temperature Curve) that defines outside temperature as Warm in the Soft
Min/Max table. For example, if the Heat Temperature is 78° F, Warm Temp. – Diff
Below Heat is 2.0, than the outside temperature is defined as warm at 76° F.
o
Cold Temperature: Outside temperature (or below) at which Air per Kg/Lb. (Cold)
capacity is reached.
NOTE When the outside temperature is between the Warm and Cold Temperature, the flow rate is
calculated at a proportional rate.
o
Air Change: As the temperature rises from the Cold Temperature parameter to the Heat
Temperature (or drops from the Heat Temperature to the Cold Temperature parameter),
the minimal air volume rises/falls proportionally. Air Change defines the minimal change
in air temperature that must takes place to cause a change in the air supply.
o
Fan Cycle Time: The total amount of time that the fans operate while operating under
Minimum Ventilation. During this time, the fans supply the required volume of air at the
minimum ventilation level required. Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch adjusts the
minimum ON time and OFF time as needed. If the fans cannot supply the required
volume at a particular level of ventilation, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch
automatically adjusts the minimum ventilation level.
o
Minimum ON Time in Vent Cycle: The minimum amount of time that the fans operate
during a ventilation cycle. Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch adjusts the actual fan time
as needed.
o
Minimum OFF Time in Vent Cycle: The minimum amount of time that the fans do not
operate during a ventilation cycle. Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch adjusts the actual
fan time as needed.
As the temperature rises, the actual Minimum OFF Time decreases until it reaches the minimum time;
only then does the Minimum On Time begin to rise.
NOTE If the temperature goes above the Band Temperature, Power Ventilation begins and times are
adjusted accordingly.
o
Air Change By Humidity/CO2%: As the humidity/CO2 levels rise above the levels
specified in Humidity Treatment and CO2 Treatment, the minimal air volume rises
© Munters AB, 2018 25
proportionally. Air Change By Humidity/CO2% defines the minimal change in these
levels that must take place to cause an increase in the air supply.
o
Air Per Weight Curve Mode: By default, Air per Kilo/Lb. has two data points: cold
temperature and warm. If desired, the user can add an additional intermediate data
point which is between the two default points. This point determines the quantity of air to
be distributed when the temperature reaches the midpoint between the cold and warm
temperatures.
3.3 Introduction to Humidity, Ammonia, and CO2 Treatment
Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch provides various options to controlling the humidity, CO2, and
ammonia levels.
•
None: No treatment is provided.
•
Level: Ventilation levels increase for a designated amount of time.
•
Tunnel or exhaust fan: A designated fan turns on for a designated amount of time. The amount of
air blown into the house is greater than that provided by an increase in ventilation level.
•
Increase in air / weight: The total amount of air that fans need to provide increases by a user
defined amount. Fan stay on until CO2, humidity, or humidity levels fall to their defined levels.
This option is only available when using Minimum Ventilation by Weight.
•
Humidity treatment by heat: In cold air situations, heaters can be turned on to lower the relative
humidity.
If there is a contradiction between CO2, humidity, and ammonia treatments:
• Ammonia treatment has priority over CO2 treatment.
• C02 treatment has priority over humidity treatment.
• Increase in air / weight has priority over other treatments.
• Humidity treatment by heat takes priority over increasing the ventilation.
3.4 Humidity Treatment
Humidity treatment forces an increase in ventilation level when the humidity is too high. It holds the
increase for ‘Duration Seconds’, and checks back after ‘Interval Minutes’ for another increase. After the
duration, the ventilation level comes back down automatically.
© Munters AB, 2018 26

Humidity Treatment by Heaters: This parameter enables using the heaters to lower the
relative humidity. If enabled, define:
•
Outside Temp Treat by Heaters: A differential from the target temperature; when the
outside temperature reaches this point, heaters turn on and remain on for the duration
time.
•
Diff to Stop Treatment by Heaters: A differential from the target temperature; when the
inside temperature reaches this point, heaters turns off and remain off for at least the
duration time. This number can be positive or negative.
Humidity Treatment by Heater requires designating at least one thermometer as an outside
thermometer (refer to Temperature Definition, page 99).
NOTE If the heaters are operating because of the interior temperature, Humidity Treatment by Heater
is disabled.
NOTE Broiler and Breeder Modes support Humidity Treatment by Heaters.
3.5 CO2 Treatment
CO2 treatment forces an increase in ventilation level when the CO2 level is too high. It holds the increase
for ‘Delay Seconds’, and checks back after ‘Interval Minutes’ for another increase. After the duration, the
ventilation level may come back down automatically. If during treatment, the CO2 level drops below the
Stop Value parameter, the ventilation level automatically returns to that level used before CO2 treatment
was initiated.
1. In System > Sensors > Analog, designate one sensor as a CO2 sensor.
2. In Control > CO2 Treatment define:
o
Day: Growth day. You can set multiple programs for same day (maximum number of

Level: Increases the ventilation level when a treatment is required.
NOTE When employing Ventilation by Weight, the controller increases the cycle time or the level,
depending on the particular settings.
o
CO2 Treatment by Heaters:
CO2 Treatment by Heater: This parameter enables running the heaters in situations where the
CO2 level is high. Typically this can happen in cold temperatures when CO2 is produced by
the heaters. By increasing the heat in the house, ventilation can then be increased. If
enabled, define:
•
Outside Temp Treat by Heaters: A differential from the target temperature; when the
outside temperature reaches this point, heaters turn on and remain on for the duration
time.
•
Diff to Stop Treatment by Heaters: A differential from the target temperature; when the
inside temperature reaches this point, heaters turns off and remain off for at least the
duration time. This number can be positive or negative.
CO2 Treatment by Heater requires designating at least one thermometer as an outside
thermometer (refer to Temperature Definition, page 99).

OW DOES NATURAL VENTILATION WORK
For Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch to switch to Natural Ventilation:
•
Natural Ventilation works only during the defined growth days and daily schedule.
•
The temperature inside the chicken house must be within the inside temperature band.
•
The temperature outside the chicken house must be within the outside temperature band.
•
If the temperature is below either of the above two parameters, ventilation switches to Minimum.
•
If the temperature is above either of the above two parameters, ventilation switches to Tunnel
(there is an option to remain in natural ventilation; refer to Minimum Wind Speed for Tunnel
Temp).
•
The wind speed must be within the wind speed band.
•
The wind direction must be within the user-defined area.
NOTE Including the wind speed and direction in Natural Ventilation calculations is optional and
requires in the installation and configuration of additional equipment.
•
If the weather conditions meet the above requirements, curtains open to a calculated position
based on the difference temperature and minimum and maximum percentage. If more air is
required, the curtains adjust themselves automatically using a calculation based on the minimum
and maximum curtain position. The larger the difference between the minimum and maximum
openings, the larger the step.
•
Any change in the curtain position takes place after the Delay Time.

3. If you installed a wind direction sensor:
a. In System > Sensors > Analog Sensor, define the sensor accordingly.
If required, calibrate the wind direction sensor (refer to Wind Direction Calibration).
b. In System > Air Inlets Setup, define the each curtain's direction. When making Natural
Program calculations, the controller only takes into consideration winds coming from a
certain direction. Any wind whose source is outside of this area is disregarded.
The number entered here defines the area (the number entered ±90°) (Figure 3: Wind Direction
Sensor Definition).
o
If you enter 90, the range is from 0 - 180°.
o
If you enter 45, the range is from 315 - 135°.

NOTE In both cases, winds A or B would be factored into the calculations whereas winds C or D
would not. Only calibrate the sensors if you have reason to believe that they are producing
inaccurate results.
The number entered here defines the area on both sides of the sensor! Figure 6 illustrates a chicken
house with four wind sensors. Sensor 1's Wind Direction parameter is defined as 45° or 90° total.
Winds that come within this area (A) are used for Natural Programing. The controller disregards winds
outside of this area (B & C).

ULTI STAGE TUNNEL CURTAINS
When in static pressure mode and employing multiple tunnel curtains, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch
can open the curtains in sequence. Opening the tunnel curtains commences when the target static
pressure is reached and the controller signals to the tunnel machine to operate the curtains. Platinum
Touch/Rotem One Touch opens the first tunnel curtain (as defined in the relays) to the user defined
level. If additional ventilation is required, the second tunnel curtain opens. This process continues for
each defined curtain.
As pressure falls, the process is reversed; curtains close in progression starting with the last curtain.
To set up Multi Stage Tunnel Curtains:
1. In System > Relay Layout define more than one relay as tunnel curtain (open and close).
2. In System > Levels of Ventilation > Vent & Curtain Levels, define the opening levels for each curtain.
3. In Static Pressure > Tunnel Ventilation, define the target pressure.

EED SCALE FUNCTIONALITY IN TWO HOUSES
Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch enables sharing feed scale functionality between two houses. Two
load cells are connected to a single feed scale. Each Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch Controller is
connected to one load cell.
When the system is running, one controller operates each set of augers, feed scale valve, hoppers, and
so on. A mechanical damper switches the feed supply from the scale to the corresponding hopper. Only
one feed process operates at a time; when one process is running the second is in standby.
•
Each hopper auger is managed by a separate feed sensor, installed in the last dish in the last
feed line in each house.
•
Both Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch units are connected to a single feed scale container.
•
Contactors connected to the silo augers determine which house is active.
•
Each Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch controller is connected to a separate hopper sensor,
which indicates when the hopper is filled.
•
Important: Each Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch Controller transmits the Feed Scale State to
the second controller, via the Feed Scale Active Relay. This relay prevents a controller from
assuming control of the Feed Scale when the latter is active. Controller 1 will release control if:
o
The hopper sensor shows the hopper to be filled
o
The feed cycle is complete.
o
In addition, if an Auger Overtime alarm is generated, control is transferred to the other
Platinum.

4.5 Alarm Reset
This menu functions as an alarm reset.
•
Alarm Reset: Mark the box if you want to reset alarms. Enabling the reset:
o
Clears the alarm relay for all current alarms. The alarms may remain valid, but the unit
does not register new alarms. If a new alarm occurs, or an existing alarm clears and
reoccurs, the alarm relay signals again (after any appropriate delay).
o
Restores normal operation after an emergency pressure or feed overrun incident. If the
controller experiences a high-pressure alarm for too long, it enters emergency pressure
operation by opening all known air sources. Curtains open to preset amounts as set in
Control > Static Pressure. If you select SIREN ONLY, the alarm relay returns to the no
alarm condition, but the emergency pressure status continues.
o
Restores normal operation after a feed overrun situation that calls for turning off the
feeding system. If the feed monitor senses the cross auger runs too long, it trips a feed
overrun alarm and optionally turns off the feed system. If you select SIREN ONLY, the
alarm relay returns to the no alarm condition, but the feed overrun status continues.
4.6 Fail Safe Settings
When there is a problem such as extremely high air temperature, the Fail-Safe function immediately
activates a backup system (for example the FBU-27 ) to ensure that adequate ventilation continues.

5.1 Temperature History
The temperature history menu stores minimum, average and maximum temperatures by growth day. The
average is weighted, so if most of the day has been warm the average is closer to the maximum than the
minimum.
© Munters AB, 2018 72
5.2 Humidity History
The humidity history menu stores minimum, average and maximum inside humidity by growth day. The
average is weighted, so if most of the day has been humid the average is closer to the maximum than the
minimum.
NOTE If two humidity sensors are installed, this screen displays their average. The History View
display shows reading of both sensors only if they have been selected for logging.
5.3 CO2 History
The CO2 history menu stores minimum, average and maximum inside CO2 levels by growth day. The
average is weighed, therefore if most of the day has been high CO2 levels the average is closer to the
maximum than the minimum.
© Munters AB, 2018 73
5.4 Bird Weight History
The scale history shows bird weight statistics. You can review daily data for each scale, or separately. The
unit records up to two-bird scale data; if you have more than one scale-1 or one scale-2, their data is
combined.
•
In Version 7.17 and below, the unit records the data of up to two-bird scales; if you have more
than one scale-1, data is combined.
•
In Version 7.18, the controller records up to four scales.
•
If you selected SEXED weighing, the history includes average data for the combined scales, and
on the next screens separate data for each scale.
•
If you select MIXED weighing, the history includes average data for all birds, and separate male
and female data for Scale 1 and for Scale 2.
o
Use the arrow keys to scroll to the separated scale data, or up and down for data that is
off screen.
o
The average and the number of weights are the usual definition. The Standard Deviation
is the usual biased estimator (see a suitable textbook on statistical measurements). The
Uniformity is the industry standard 10% uniformity (number of birds per 100 within 10%
of the average weight), and the Coefficient of Variation or C.V. is the normalized
standard deviation (standard deviation divided by average times 100 %).

•
Silo: If silos (load cells) are installed, feed consumption data of each bin is based on the feed
bin/silo weight.
•
Current Sense: If Current Sense Relays for Augers are installed and calibrated (refer to Current
Sense Relay Calibration), feed consumption data of each auger is based on the current sense,
calculation method settings, and actual auger run-time. The run-time is calculated based on the
measured current, when the actual current is higher than the nominal value.
•
Feed Count: If a feed count sensor is installed feed consumption for each feed count input is
based on the feed count method settings (refer to The mortality history menu maintains daily
summaries of mortality, cull, and total dead. It also shows the percentage dead and gives an

6.5.1 I
NTRODUCTION TO VENTILATION
Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch can have many closely spaced levels of ventilation enabling it to find
the optimum average airflow for a poultry facility. Many of the levels are at exactly the same
temperature setting, so there may be a question as to how the Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch chooses
the correct level.
The menus in this section apply levels to ventilation, variable speed fans, curtains, and other related
matters. The levels in the various menus are consistent with each other so that a level in one menu
corresponds with that level in any other menu.
The rules that apply here are:
•
Rule 1: If the temperature is at target (in the Happy Zone) stay at the current level.
•
Rule 2: If the temperature moves outside the Happy Zone; have some patience.
•
Rule 3: After the designated delay, increase or decrease levels appropriately.
You can find the ‘patience’ factors under Exhaust and Tunnel Fans Help | Set Definitions . They are the
increase level delay and decrease level delay parameters. The factory default values are 180 seconds
for an increase and 60 seconds for a decrease.
The factory default values bias the Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch slightly toward warmer
temperatures, as would be appropriate for young birds. The level increase delay is longer than the level
decrease delay. You may wish to reverse these values by the time you have market age broilers, since
they are more sensitive to heat stress than to cold.
Although many of the levels have 0.0 differential temperatures, certain levels should have differentials to
account for wind chill on the birds. The first tunnel level accounts for wind chill by switching to the tunnel
© Munters AB, 2018 85
temperature instead of target temperature. Higher tunnel levels require an additional wind chill because
of the increased airflow.
In addition, the last few levels before entering tunnel can form a transitional region. You may want to
build differentials from target temperature just before the first tunnel level.
The controller obeys both the time delay rules and the differential temperature rules when changing
levels. Tunnel exit has several additional rules, such as outside temperature restriction and the tunnel exit
delay described under Exhaust and Tunnel Fans Help | Set Definitions . In addition, there are Cool Down
and change to Min Vent on reaching the Heat temperature features described in Temperature Curve Help
| Set Definitions
6.5.2 E
XHAUST AND TUNNEL FANS
The Precision Ventilation table provides up to 30 ventilation levels controlling both variable fans and
relay-controlled fans. To program this table, start with the minimum ventilation used in the first level and
increase ventilation gradually. A reasonable rule of thumb is to increase the airflow about 25% at each
level. Increases in airflow up to 50% work satisfactorily with factory default settings.
1. Do one or both:
o
In System > Relay Outlet, define at least one relay as a Tunnel Fan or Exhaust Fan.
o
In System > Analog Output, define one function as Tunnel Fan.
2. In System > Levels of Ventilation > Exhaust & Tunnel Fans, Define:
o
Level: Read-only showing the ventilation level.
o
ON: Set ON time for fans for that ventilation level.
o
Air Capacity: Displays the current exhaust fan or tunnel air flow for each ventilation
level. If Variable Speed Fan Levels have been set, the speed percentage is taken into
account.
o
Differential Temperature: Triggers next level according to difference from target
temperature (time delays remain in effect).
•
The first several levels normally have differential temperatures set to 0.
•
If the ventilation level is below tunnel, the differential temperature is relative to the
Target temperature given in Temperature Curve.

6.5.2.2 Wind Chill
Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch can take into consideration the wind chill factor when making certain
calculations related to the temperature. In effect, the wind chill factor acts as the temperature differential.
When enabled, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch determines the “calculated temperature (actual
temperature – wind chill temperature) and uses this temperature:
•
When calculating the Tunnel Mode level up/down algorithms
•
When operating the Cool Pad (if enabled in System Variables; refer to Operate Cool Pad, page
40.
The Wind Chill factor influences controller operation from the 1st tunnel level.
NOTE The actual temperature: 1) determines the entry and exit into Tunnel Mode 2) controls the
fogger.
Define:
•
Enable Wind Chill: Enable this parameter to include the wind chill factor in ventilation
calculations. Default = No.
•
Wind Chill Limit: Maximum wind chill factor value. Default = 8° C.
•
RH Effect: The decrease in temperature caused by an increase in relative humidity. Default is
0.26° C.
The Relative Humidity Effect parameter enables including the relative humidity (RH) in the wind chill
factor calculations. A rise in relative humidity reduces the wind chill factor. How does it work?
o
There is no effect below 40% relative humidity.
o
The user determines the increase in temperature for every 5% increase in relative
humidity.
•
The default increase is 0.26° C; meaning that between 40.1% - 45% relative
humidity, the wind chill factor decreases by 0.26° C. Between 45.1% - 50%, the wind
chill factor decreases by 0.52° C, twice the default level. Between 50.1% - 55%, the
decrease is 0.78° C, three times the default level, and so on.
•
The user can set the temperature increase as required.

assigning sensors to particular devices is possible. Note that if the sensors selection remains blank, the
default value is assigned.
Choose 1 to 18 temperature sensors for each item listed. The house, brooding and tunnel sensors cause
the current average to apply to devices when no specific sensor is assigned to them. The current average
substitutes for either failed or missing sensors.
NOTE Sensors 10 – 18 require installing a second analog card.
•
Refer to Temperature Curve.
•
Assign Temperature Sensors as required in System > Temp Definition. Devices that do not accept
temperature sensors, such as Exhaust Fans, Tunnel Fans, Feed and Light do not appear.

above screen capture).
NOTE When an attic sensor is not installed, the attic vent is disabled.
NOTE The ~ symbol designates an analog output device.
Note that Exhaust Fans and Tunnel Fans do not appear because the Ventilation Levels defined in System
> Levels of Ventilation control their operation. Stir Fans appear even though the System > Levels of
Ventilation > Stir Fan Levels apply to them because they simultaneously operate according System > Stir
Fan Programs where specific sensor assignments are required in Program B and recommended in
Program C.
6.11 Vent/Curt Setup
In Installation > Setup, define Static Pressure unit as None.
Use this screen to define the ventilation opening and closing mechanism. You can use one of three
methods:
•
Using Time to Calibrate
•
