2 PRECAUTIONS

• Grounding

• Checking the Batt er y Level

• Frequency Inver ters

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 contact or box es and other sources of electrical interference.

• Do not connect communi c ation wire shields, which go from one house to another at both ends. Connect them at one end only. Connec tion at both ends can cause ground loop currents to flow, which reduc e r eliability.

• The COM connection for comm unic ations is not the shield wire. The COM, RX and TX wires must connect to each other at all controllers.

2.2 Checking the Batt er y Level

Check the batter y once a year. The out put must be 2.7 volts (minimum). Aut hori z ed per sonnel only must replace the batt er y if the out put is below the minimum requir ed lev el or every five years.

2.3 Frequency I nverters

Frequency inv erter s can cause severe electrical and electr om agnetic interferenc e. T her efore, 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 meet s i ndustr y standar ds

• proper grounding of the inverter's chassis and mot or power cable

• proper grounding of low v oltage cable shield wire

• that the controller and inverter cables are kept in separate c onduits or wire bundles

5.1 Temp Curve

TEMP CURVE #01 # Day Target

Heat Tunnel

PIGUARD provides separate t emperature curves for growth day, target temperature, heat temperature, tunnel temper ature and low/high alarm temperat ur es. The controller cr eates a curve for each one and uses it a s a reference. The program alters at midnight pri or to t he next day on the next row programmed. Ther e ar e up to 10 progr ammable rows, but the controller m aintains yesterday’s settings for every empty line; therefore it is not necessary to fill the entire table.

Limits:

• Day: 0 - 999

• Target: 0 - 40° C

• Alarm low: 0 - 40° C (without floating point)

• Alarm high: 0 - 40° C (without floating point)

5.2 Min. Max. Level

The Minimum/Maximum Level menu sets the current absolute minimum and maximum ventilation levels available. There are five minimum/maximum level choices:

How do these options work?

• Min/Max by Growth Day and Min/ M ax by Time of Day defi ne the ventilation by the growth day or time, respectiv ely .

• Soft Min/Max by Day and Soft Mi n/Max by Tim e enable decreasing the minimum level of ventilation in ex treme cold. For that, the user uses the Soft Min level that operates according to outside or inside t em per ature. Refer to Soft Min Max by Day Levels, page 22.

• Cold/Warm is used to limit t he v entilation levels when temper atures are extremely cold or hot. These settings override any other definitions when tem per atures reach the levels defined in the Outside T.C old and Outside T.Warm parameters (refer to page 27). Refer to Setting Cold Warm Levels, page 22. @@@@

• By Weight determines the ventilati on by the tot al pr ojected weight of the anim als.

System parameters -> Min/Max

If the inside temperature is above 70° F (heat temperature) t he c ontroller operates accordi ng 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 operat es i n lev el 5.

Important:

• When using Soft Min accor ding to inside temperature there is a curve between mi n warm and min cold, while decr easi ng levels. When temperature i nc r eases the l ev el r em ains at the lowest level reac hed, until reaching the heat tem per ature.

• When using Soft Min accor ding to outside temperature there is a curve bet ween mi n warm and min cold while decreasing and increasing lev els. To select the type of minim um/m aximum go to system parameters and change the level control (see page 25).

5.2.2 Setting Cold Warm Levels

5.2.3 By Weight

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 W eight option, SuperGuard takes several parameters and calculates the air speed, lev el of ventilat ion and cycle time needed to supply the required vol um e. As opposed to the other ventilation methods, t he Weight option is dynamic, with the ventilation c hanging according to the curr ent param et ers (quantity of air required, weight of animals and number of pigs, out si de air temper ature). In addition, Ventilation by Weight sends out an alarm if the current ventilation is below the minimum required level.

NOTE: This option is available in Version 1.09 and higher.

To set up the Weight Option:

1. In the Inst all > F an A ir Capacit y menu, define the air capacit y / hour (page 51).

2. In the Control > Min. Max Level menu, selec t By Weight.

3. Set the parameters as required.

The Vent Levels and Vari able Fan Levels features enable Cycle Operation. Cycle Operation means that the fans operate at two levels, minimum and maximum. When the cycl e is off, the f ans run at the minimum level. When the cycle is on, the fans run at maximum level.

To enable Cycle Operation:

1. In Contr ol > Sy stem Parameters > Var. Fan, set the Min Motor Speeds ( up to 4).

2. In Contr ol > Sy stem Parameters > Var. Fan, set the Fan Cycle to High (default) or low.

o High: Maximum level is 100%; minimum level is user-determined. o Low: Maximum level is user determined; minimum level is zero.

NOTE: In Low, the maximum level is the Minimum Motor S peed.

• Sensors Dif: The circ ulation fan starts if the diff er enc e between temperatures in different parts of the house is higher than the set differential. The sensors that par ticipate in this differential can be divided into these groups:

o If no sensors are set for circ ulation fans in temp definition, t he c ur r ent defi ned sensors

control this operation. If for example the house is i n tunnel mode, the tunnel sensors control the circ ulation fans. If there is a diff erence higher than three (like the example above) between two sensors, the c irculation fans begi n to operate.

o If one sensor is defined f or the cir c ulation fans, the difference between thi s sensor and

the average controls the circulation fans.

o If more than one sensor is defined for the circulati on fans, when the difference

increases between any two sensor s, the circulation fans begin operation.

• Sensor Alarm: Low/High: High and low temperature ranges beyond which alarm is activated.

• Out Compensation: This parameter i s added to the high t em per ature alarm when outside

temperatures are hi gh, like noontime in desert count ri es. This feature ensures an alarm is not triggered just because i t is a hot day. The emergency temperature has no compensation, so the compensation f eature only works when temperat ures do not exceed the emergency temperature.

Example: Outdoor+c om p. >Alarm then Alarm=Outdoor+Comp. For example: IF the pre set c om pensation is 2°F, the outside temperatur e is 75°F and alarm is set to 76°F, the controller adds the outside temperat ur e to the comp, and the alarm rises to 77. (75+2=77)

The display alt er nates between the name and the figure.

• rH: Humi dity i n room.

11.4 Calibration

Temperature sensors are very accurate and most likely do not requir e calibration. However, if calibr ation is required, do the following:

11.4.1 Temperature Sensor Calibration

• Use an accurate thermometer as a reference.

• Place the thermom eter near the temperature sensor.

• Make sure that the inside temperature is stable.

• Calibrat e the temperature sensor immediat ely after reading.

11.4.2 Calibration Procedure

1. Press SELECT and the “up” arrow keys simultaneously and hold them together for about two seconds. The display alternates between the sensor number and the temperature measured.

2. Use the arrow key to change the temperature.

3. Press SELECT to move through the sensors and the arrows to change temperatures.

NOTE: Calibrati on of humidity sensor is done exactly the sam e way; the only difference is that instead

of measuring temperatur e, t he humi dity is measured by an external humi dity sensor.

12 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION GUIDE

CAUTION The P i gua r d Plus must be installed by an authorized electrician. Power must

be disconnected to avoid electrical shock and damage.

CAUTION To avoid exposing the Piguard Plus to harmful gases or high humidity, it is

recommended to instal l i t in the servi ce roo m.

NOTE: Installation Category (Over voltage Cat egor y ) II

• The power supply to the cont r oller should be protected by 10 amps cir c uit break er

• All electrical connec tions should comply with National Electrical code (NEC)

1. Screw the metal sheet on the back of the box usi ng the 4 supplied screws. M ount the Piguard Plus through the mounting holes (see next page).

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

3. Drill holes at bott om of the box and plac e c able holders.

4. Place the required cables thr ough the cable holders at the bott om of t he unit. Connect the wires according to t he wiri ng diagrams.

5. Make sure that you use wires large enough for the load of the variable speed.

6. To connect temperature and hum idity sensors use shielded two or four conductor #18-#24 gauge cables. Connect t he shi elds to the Ground metal strip. Do not c onnec t t he shi elds to m or e than one point, or you may induce gr ound loop currents.

7. Close the Piguard Plus encl osure lid carefully and tightly. Use RTV silicon or equivalent sealant to seal the cable hol der s.

8. After installati on is completed, operate the Pi guar d Pl us for a few hours and re- check for proper operation.

12.1 E nv ironmental Prote c ti on

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

12.2 S e ns ors and Shielded Wiring

• For long shielded wires, c onnec t 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 t he heav y ground wire to the electrical servic e gr ounding system rather than directl y to the ground r od.

• Do not use light wires for t hese ground connec tions. They must carry heavy lightning currents, sometimes exceeding thousands of amper es. Cer tainly, do not use the shielding of sensor and low volt age wiri ng for this purpose.

• Ensure that all ground c onnec tions go to a single local point. W hen lightning strikes, grounds a meter or two apart will be at signif ic antly different voltages. If you have several electronic boxes with individual grounds, connect all t hese together to a single point (If Possible), preferably to t he surge protector ground. This should conti nue to the ground rod or the electrical service. In particular, avoid grounding any controls remot ely through shi eld wiring.

• Do not use shields to create a path for lightning. For long shield wires, such as building to building runs, connec t the shield to ground at one end only, to reduce the chance of conducting lightning from one building t o another.

• When splicing sensors to longer wires, ensure that the spli c e is waterproof. Use adhesive lined heat shrink (marine grade) to make waterproof c onnections.

SuperGuard and Pi guar d Pl us |1.09 54

• Use a good compression connector for splicing. This is better than solder ing. Do not simply twist wires together and then c over with electrical tape.

• Keep sensor wiring separat e from other power distribution and high voltage wiring. Ensure that lightni ng on other wir ing will not transfer to the sensors.

• Install outside temperature sensors so that the sun wil l not cause false readings, and so that exhaust air from the building will not affect the sensor.

12.3 Installat ion and Electrical Connecti ons

• Install comput eri z ed elec tronic controls at least one meter ( three feet) away from interfer enc e sources such as high voltage wiring to motors, variable speed, light dimmers, relays.

• Install electr onic controls in a separate ventil ated control room that is prot ec ted from extreme temperatures and dir ty environments. Place the contr ols 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 wiri ng for low level signals. For buried wiring (building to building runs) use high grade jell fill ed c ables that are impervious to moisture.

• Seal cable entr y poi nts and control boxes to prevent contami nation and corrosion. If you use silicon sealant with acetic acid cure, keep the control open and ventilated unti l c ur ed. Otherwise, the acetic acid will attack the metal parts, including circuit r y .

• Drill cable entry holes on the bottom of the box only.

12.5 Dip Switch Configuration

On the Piguard Plus's CPU there ar e two parallel red dip switches, located on the left hand side of the PCB. If you want hardware protection during curtai ns' 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 di pswitc hes to off position. On the PCB is writ ten 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 progr amming on behalf of the user.

Figure 9: Piguard Plus's CPU

Figure 10: Piguard Plus Wiring Diagram Extension Box

SuperGuard and Pi guar d Pl us |1.09 62

When connecti ng the relev ant connections (see abov e) the c onnec tions of both the Piguard Plus and the Extension box unit must be with no power. Before turning the Piguar d Pl us on, m ak e sure t he Extension box i s plugged i n first, so that the Piguard Plus identifies the Extension box.

Figure 11: Piguard Extension Box wiring

The extension box should be c onnec ted with a shielded cable (I2C c able) as appears in the photo above. The shiel d has to be connect ed to ground with a wire that is soldered to the shield of the I2C cable (Factory Suppli ed) . The shield is connected to ground only on t he extensi on box si de ( on the Piguard side the shi eld has to be left unconnected).

On the Piguard Side connec t t he Bl ac k wire (COM) to Comm on, t he Red wire to CLK (Clock), and the white wire to Data.

NOTE: The I2C communication cable (1 Meter) is connected to the extensi on box and the shield is

grounded. Don't ext end the cable and keep it far from high power cables.
