2 1BPRECAUTIONS

2.1 16BGrounding

CAUTION Always connect temperature and sensor shields to earth ground. Avoid mixing high

voltage wiring with sensor and low voltage wiring.

CAUTION Keep the controller as far as possible from heavy contactor boxes and other sources

of electrical interference.

CAUTION Do not connect communication wire shields, which go from one hous e to another at

both ends. Connect them at one end only. Conn ection at both ends can cause ground loop currents to flow, which reduce reliability.

CAUTION 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 17BFiltering

CAUTION 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. Refer to the inverter documentation.

2.3 18BChecking the Battery Level

CAUTION Check the battery once a year. The output must be 2.7 volts (minimum). Au thori zed

personnel only must replace the battery if the output is below the minimum required level or every five years.

Piguard 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 reference. At midnight, the program goes to the next day on the next row programmed. There are up to 10 programmable rows, but the controller maintains the previous day’s settings for any empty line; therefore it is not necessary to fill the entire table.

If the inside 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, at 68° F the controller operates in level 5.

Important:

• When using Soft Min according to inside 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 outside 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

Default: 0

• Dif Below, Exit: 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

• T.Out Dif, Exit: Set the relative temperature for the outside sensor at which to exit tunnel. The controller can not 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

• Exit Delay (m): Delay time after satisfying tunnel exit conditions.

Default: 5 (minutes)

==CURTAINS==

• Calibration Steps: To ensure accurate positioning of the curtains, the controller can periodically calibrate the curtain position. This parameter sets the maximum number of curtain movements or stages between calibrations. Calibration consists of forcing the curtain to the nearest limit, 0% or 100% with adequate overtime to ensure reaching the limit switch. Then the curtain returns to its proper position. In the event several curtains require calibration, they calibrate one at a time to reduce the amount of restriction to normal ventilation. The stage counter resets automatically each time the curtains reach a limit point to prevent excessive calibration.

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 a convenient method 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. Then, once the side vents are at 100%, if pressure requires, the controller opens the tunnel curtain to maintain the pressure setting.

From Level To Level

The circulation fans will mix the air inside the house and control temperature differentials between different parts of the house.

• Sensors Dif: The circulation fans start if the difference between temperatures in different parts of the house is higher than the set differential. The sensors that participate in this differential can be divided in to 3 groups:

o If no sensors are set for circulation fans in temp definition, the currently defined sensors

control this operation. If for example the house is in tunnel mode, the tunnel sensors control the circulation fans. If the difference is higher than 3 (as in the example above) between two sensors the circulation fans begin to operate.

o If one sensor is defined for the circulation fans, the difference between this sensor and the

average controls the circulation fans.

o If more than one sensor is defined for the circulation fans, when the difference increases

between any two sensors, the circulation fans begin operation.

• From Time: When the application starts.

• To Time: When the application stops.

• From Level: From what level to operate this application.

temperature alarm when outside temperatures are high, for example noon in desert countries. The parameter’s purpose is to ensure that you won't get an alarm just because it's a hot day. The emergency temperature has no compensation, so the compensation feature only works when temperatures do not exceed the emergency temperature.

Example: Outdoor+comp. >Alarm then Alarm=Outdoor+Comp. For example: IF the pre set compensation is 2° F, the outside

12.2 Set U nit Number

Press the two arrow key simultaneously until NO. is blinking. Set the unit number with the up and down arrows and press Select.

12.3 Mai n M enu

Once the Piguard is activated the main screen appears showing the room’s inside average temperature. Pressing SELECT for two seconds allows the user to vie w the main screen’s information.

• trg: The target temperature for the room (can be changed from the Piguard itself only if a curve was not defined.

• rH: Humidity in room

• rH.t: Target humidity

• day: Growth day for the room

The display alternates between the name and the figure.

12.4 Calibration

Temperature sensors are very accurate and most likely will not require calibration. However, if calibration is required it is done as follows:

• Temperature sensor calibration

o Use an accurate thermometer reference. o Plac e it near the tem per atu r e sensor. o Make sure that the inside temperature is stable. o Calibrate the temperature sensor immediately after reading.

• Calibration procedure

1. To get to the calibration menu press Select and the Up arrow keys simultaneously for two

seconds.

2. The display alternates between the sensor number and the temperature measured.

3. Use the arrow key to change the temperature.

4. Press Select to move through the sensors and the arrows to change temperatures

NOTE: Calibration of humidity sensor is done exactly the same way; the only difference is that instead

of measuring temperature, the humidity is measured by an external humidity sensor.

12.7 Piguard Installation Guide

12.7.1 Sensors and S hielde d Wiring

CAUTION 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.

• For long shielded wires, connect the shield to ground at one end only.

• 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.

CAUTION 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.

• 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 one end only, to reduce the chance of conducting lightning from one building to another.

• When splicing sensors to longer wires, ensure that the splice is waterproof. 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 affec t the sensor.

12.7.2 Installati on a nd Elect rical 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 professiona l appe ar ance, w it h all wir ing in condu it or neatl y instal le d. 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.

1. Open the enclosure lid by unfastening the four screws.

2. Using the provided bag of screws and plastic caps, drill holes in the three designated areas

inside the Piguard. Place caps on the screws once mounting is complete.

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 Piguard enclosure lid carefully and tightly. Use RTV silicon or equivalent sealant to

seal the cable holders.

8. After installation is completed, operate the Piguard for a few hours and re- check for proper

operation.
