Glossary of terms

Side Damper / Inlet

The side damper is usually located on the side walls of the house. It is used to bring fresh air
into the house. The side Damper is used mostly during minimum ventilation. The fresh air is
coming into the house near the ceiling where it is mixing with the warm air and absorbing
humidity. The side dampers are used to regulate the house static pressure during minimum
and cross ventilation.

Tunnel / Cool curtain

The tunnel curtain is located at the end of the house and is usually opposite the tunnel fans.
The cool air curtain is opening together with the tunnel fans and during tunnel ventilation the
tunnel curtain is used to regulate the house static pressure.
The tunnel curtain is always open when the outside cooling system runs.

Minimum or cycle ventilation

Minimum ventilation mode is the ventilation mode that is used by the controller to supply the
minimum amount of air needed per kilo per hour. Normally this is done by using the cross-
ventilation fans together with the side dampers to bring fresh air into the house.
The fans are running in a cycle mode as calculated according to the current bird weight,
current amount of birds in the house and the minimum air per kilo according to the outside
temperature. Minimum ventilation generally does not reduce the temperature in the house.
During the minimum ventilation mode the dampers will open to a preset opening before the
cross ventilation fans come into operation. Once the fans have finished their on cycle, they go
off and the dampers will close.

Cross Ventilation
Cross ventilation is the mode that is used by the controller once the house starts to heat up
and the cycle ventilation is no longer enough. Once the set point for the cross fans is reached
they will leave the cycle mode and run nonstop.

Tunnel ventilation
The controller converts to this mode of operation from the minimum or cross ventilation
modes when the temperature in the house is too high. When the set point for the first tunnel
fan group is reached the unit will go into tunnel ventilation.

There are two modes for tunnel ventilation.

o Cold tunnel ventilation.
Cold tunnel ventilation is when the control unit goes into tunnel ventilation mode but
the outside temperature is too cold to open the tunnel curtain. The tunnel fans come
on and work opposite the side dampers.
o Regular tunnel ventilation.
Regular tunnel ventilation is where the tunnel fans are running, the side dampers are
closed and the tunnel curtain is open and is controlling the static pressure for the
house.

Static Pressure (negative pressure)

Static pressure refers to the pressure difference that exists between the inside and outside of
the house. This pressure difference is the result of running Fans in the walls. The air that they
exhaust enters the house through various types of

 Program version KIS179901E

air inlet openings. In the Minimum ventilation mode the dampers is where the vast majority
of the air enters. In the Tunnel Mode, the tunnel curtain at the end of the house is where the
air enters. The pressure drops due to the resistance to the air flowing through the dampers, is
the reason a static pressure difference exists. If the dampers are all the same size, the same
amount of air will enter through each damper.
When the incoming air is cooler than the inside air, it will tend to drop down onto the
birds before it is warmed up. Adequate static pressure brings the air into the house
high and fast so that it heats up before it can fall.

Main Screen

The main screen (photo below) is the first screen that is displayed when the Image III starts
up.
The main screen contains basic information on the current house climate, recorded daily
water and feed consumption and feed silo weight. To reach the main screen from any screen,

Silo Screen

Current Weight Silo 1 / 2

This is the current weight in kilogram for silo 1 & 2

Silo last fill 1 / 2

This is the last filling for silo 1 & 2

Silo State
Normal; All is in order with the feeding system.
Detecting Fill; the feeding system has detected an increase of 300 kg or more in the feed silo
weight. The program reacts to this as if the feed silo is being filled with feed.
Fill; the feed silo is being filled. The program will not allow the feed auger to run while it’s
in the Fill detect state.
Zero Calibration; the feed silo is being calibrated to zero.
Weight Calibration; the feed silo is being calibrated to a known weight.
Calibration Error; the calibration process did not succeed.
Unused; the feeding system is in this state while between batch times.

Zero Cal Screen

In order for the Image III to weigh properly, first the system must be calibrated.
The A/D junction box is measuring the input from the load cells and converting it to a
number that is transmitted to the Image III for processing.

www.agrologic.com Page 19 of 61 [email protected]

 Program version KIS179901E

When the silo is empty, this number is related to the ZERO weight, lets call it Z.
The load cell constant is the multiplier that must be used to display the correct weight, lets
call it M.

The weight displayed on the Image III is calculated by the following formula:
(X-Z)*M where X is the output from the junction box.
When X=Z then the silo is empty, and the display is 0000.
In order to have a calibrated system; we must calculate Z and M. This can be done as
follows:

Make sure the silo is empty.

To start the zero-calibration process for silo 1, press on the Zero Cal 1 icon. To start the zero-
calibration process for silo 2, press on the Zero Cal 2 icon
This calculates the Zero (Z) number automatically and stores it in the memory.
This number is constant for the installation. If it is changed for some reason, you can reenter
it manually in the Constant Screen.

Please record and save this number for future reference.

After the Zero (Z) data has been set, the multiplier (M) data must be set.
Fill the silo with an accurate known weight. Enter this weight in the FULL CALIBRATION
screen. The more exact the weight, the more precise the silo weighing will be.

Weight Cal Screen

Once the zero calibration has been done, it is important to run a weight calibration as well. To
get the best and most accurate results in this calibration, we need to define the exact weight,
which we are certain of, so the controller will have a unified and standard reference of full
weight.

Enter weight and press to start calibration of silo 1/2:

Enter here the weight in KG that has been put in or on the feed silo.

To start the Full calibration process, click on the Silo 1 Cal or silo Cal 2 icon ( for silo 1 and
silo 2 respectively).

These on off time setting are used to add extra light times.
These times will override the time setting in the Light Graph screen below.

Calculated ON and Off Times

Displays the current on and off times as calculated in the light graph.

Light Graph

The screen has 3 columns.

• Day; the day column represents the target grow day for the light change.
• Start; start is the set time for the lights to go on. This ON time will be used with the
target day setting. The start time will change in a linear fashion between target days (see
example Error! Reference source not found.Error! Reference source not
found.Error! Bookmark not defined. ).
• Stop; stop is the set time for the lights to go off. This OFF time will be used with the
target day setting. The stop time will change in a linear fashion between target days (see
example Error! Bookmark not defined.).
• Grow day; this is the current grow day.
• Calc start; this is the calculated time the lights will go on.
• Calc stop; this is the calculated time the lights will go off.

Example;
Day 1;
Start = 06:00
Off = 05:00
Dimmer minimum = 10
Dimmer maximum = 100
Dimmer delay = 02:00
The lighting system will come on at 06:00 at an intensity of 10% (dimmer minimum). Over
the next 2 minutes (dimmer delay) the lights will increase in intensity from 10% to 100%. At
05:00 the light intensity will start to decrease going from 100% to 10% over a two minute
time period (dimmer delay). Once the 10% is reached the lights will go off.

Between day one and day seven, the On time will be shorted in a liner fashion. By day seven
the lights will go on at 06:00 and off at 03:00.
By day 25, the light will go on at 06:00 and off at 23:00

Ventilation Screens

There are 4 ventilation modes.

1. Minimum ventilation mode in which the fans work in an on-off cycle to bring in
adequate amount of air according to the number and the size of the birds and the
outside temperature. This mode occurs when the temperature in the house is close or
below the required temperature. In this mode the air comes into the house through the
dampers. The settings of this mode are done in the Minimum Ventilation screen (see
below).
2. Cross ventilation mode in which the fans work according to the temperature
difference settings. Once a fan group is added, the previous fan groups keeps on
working as well. In the Ventilation screen and air goes into the house through the
dampers. In this mode, the minimum on-off fan groups keep working.
3. Tunnel cold ventilation mode in which the fans work according to the temperature
difference settings in the Ventilation screen and air goes into the house through the
dampers or through the dampers and the cool curtains. In this mode, the minimum on-
off fan groups are turned off. The tunnel cold mode is used when it is cold outside.

Setup Screen 2

Average Temperature Setup

Define here which temperature sensor or sensors will be used to make up the average
temperature.
The temperature sensors used to define the average temperature are the sensors that will be
used for the ventilation and cooling systems.
Example:
Enter 1234 for the average. All four inside temperature sensors will be used to make up the
inside average temperature.

Temperature Sensors Measure Delay

Enter here 0 for very fast temperature measurement.
Use 1,2 or 3 for slower measurement.
Enter 4 for slowest measurement.

UPS Mode Setup

In certain areas the power supply may be unstable and you may want to connect the controller
to a UPS to avoid electric spikes which may damage the unit.
If a UPS is connected, the controller will not know that there is a power outage and will
continue to give out control commands. In this case it may try and move the damper or cool
curtain. Since there is no power it cannot move them, the controller will go into a Flap alarm.
If you connect a UPS you must supply the controller a dry contact that will indicate that there
is a power failure. This contact should be a closed contact that will open when there is a
power failure. Connect the dry connect to digital input 19.
When the input is open (no power, UPS working) it will not try and move the dampers or
curtain, thus avoiding the flap alarm.

UPS Mode
If a UPS backup battery is connected to the controller, enter here 9999.
Enter 0 if no UPS is connected.

Fan Groups ON In Power Outage

Enter here the fan groups that will come on when the power returns. These fans will come on
only momentarily. The controller will then turn on the fans that should be running according
to the program.

Daily Data Screen

The controller collects and stores certain values on a day by day basis (above photo). A ‘day’
in this regard is the 24 hours' period that starts and ends at the time entered in the parameter
Reset Time.
The data that is stored is the one that was collected over the last 490 days. All collected and
stored data can be seen in a graph and table forms.
For some values, the accumulated (also named total) values since the start of the growing
period are also calculated.

Here are the daily data screen values:

 Minimum and maximum inside and outside temperatures.
 Minimum and maximum house humidity levels.
 Minimum and maximum CO2 levels.

Alarm Screen 1

Panel Alarm (#9)

There are 4 types of panel alarms: memory alarm, battery alarm, data alarm and clock alarm.
When one or more of these panel alarms occur, the Alarms displays the number 9 and the
Panel alarm type displays which of the 4 types occurred according to this table:

Table: Panel Alarm Types

Panel Alarm Type Alarm Type Number

Memory 1
Battery 2
Data 3
Clock 5

For example, if panel alarm type Battery occurs, the Panel alarm type displays ‘2’ and if
both Battery and Clock alarms occur the Panel alarm type displays ‘25’.

Here is a description of each panel alarm type:

Memory (#1): this alarm type occurs when important parameters that are saved in the
permanent memory of the panel have been corrupted. This alarm can also occur once
after the panel screens have been replaced.

Battery (#2): this alarm occurs when the panel’s rechargeable battery is faulty and needs
replacing.

Data (#3): this alarm occurs when important parameters that are saved in the volatile
memory of the panel have been corrupted.

Clock (#5): this alarm occurs when important parameters that are saved in the volatile
memory of the panel have been corrupted.

When Memory or Data alarms occur, it means that these parameters might have been
changed:
1. Required Temperature Reduction Table parameters.
2. Weight Gain Table parameters.
3. Required temperature.
4. Current weight
5. Grow day.

Clearing the Panel Alarms

Clearing the panel alarm can be done by entering the number of alarm type that occurred in
the Panel alarms disable. For example, to clear the Memory alarm, enter the number 1 and
to clear the Data alarm, enter the number 3. The panel alarm can also be cleared by entering
the number 9 in the parameter Alarm type 1 disable.

Disabling Panel Alarms

Out of the 4 panel alarm types, only the Battery and Clock alarms can be disabled. To
disable the Battery alarm, the number 2 must be entered in the Panel alarms disable. To
disable the Clock alarm, the number 5 must be entered in the Panel alarms disable. A
summary of the panel alarm disable options is shown in the table below.

Table: Panel Alarms Disable Options

Panel Alarm Type Can be disabled?

Memory No
Battery Yes
Data No
Clock Yes

Static Pressure Alarm Screen

There are 2 static pressure alarms: Low Pressure (#8) and High Pressure (#7). The static
pressure alarms are part of Alarm Type 1 alarms.

High Pressure Alarm

The High-Pressure alarm occurs when the measured static pressure in the house is above the
value entered in the High-pressure alarm level for duration of 30 seconds. When the alarm
occurs, all the air inlets opens to a position of 30%. To release the pressure alarm click on the
High-Pressure Alarm Exit icon.

Low Pressure Alarm

The Low-Pressure alarm occurs when the measured static pressure in the house is below the
values entered in the Low pressure alarm levels. There are 2 levels, one for tunnel
ventilation and the other for cross and minimum ventilation. The third parameter, Low-
pressure alarm delay is to set the duration in which the measured pressure has to be lower

www.agrologic.com Page 48 of 61 [email protected]

 Program version KIS179901E

than the levels for the alarm to occur. The Low-pressure alarm delay timer display shows
the time that is left until the alarm occurs. The alarm is cleared automatically when the static
pressure goes above the level set in this screen. For example: with the numbers shown in the
photo above, if the ventilation state is tunnel and the measured pressure is below 0.001 inch
water for more than 01:00 mm:ss, then the alarm occurs.

Temperature Alarm Screens

Hot Alarm temp offset-day time

The parameter defines a temperature level above the required temperature. For example: if
the required temperature is 23.6 and the Hot alarm temp. is set to 12.0, the temperature level
for the alarm is 35.6. This level is shown in the Hot setpoint display. When the average
temperature is above 35.6, the alarm occurs. The alarm is automatically cleared when the
average temperature in the house goes below 35.6.

The hot alarm occurs when the temperature in the house is above the temperature level set by
the parameter Hot alarm temp offset-day time. For example: if the required temperature is
23.5° and the Hot Alarm is set to 5.0°, the temperature level for the alarm is 28.5°. This level
is shown in the Hot Setpoint display. When the average temperature is above 28.5°, the
alarm occurs. The alarm is automatically cleared when the average temperature in the house
drops below 28.5°. The settings here are valid only for day time, as we set different
settings for night time.

Night start time and end time

It is possible to define certain period as night time and for that period have a different hot
alarm temp offset. Enter here start and end times (hours), which will be considered as night
time.

Hot Alarm temp offset-night time

Enter here a temperature differential above the required temperature of the house for the time
fame you have set as night time. The alarm will go on when the temperature in the house is
above the temperature level set in this parameter.

Time period for temp change

The mechanism used in the cold alarm is also used for the hot alarms, to trigger the alarm in
case there is a sharp increase in the house temperature in a certain time. Set here time in
minutes to decide the period. If in this period, the temperature will increase in more than what
is set in the max. temp change in period, then the alarm will go on.

www.agrologic.com Page 49 of 61 [email protected]

 Program version KIS179901E

Max. temp change in period

Set here the temperature increase, that if will take place in the time period we have defined,
will trigger the alarm.

Example:
Required temperature: 23.5 degrees
Time period for temp change: 3 minutes
Max temp change in period: 3 degrees

The above means that if in any period of 3 minutes the house temperature will increase by 3
degrees (or more), the alarm will be triggered and go on. In this case, if in a period of 3
minutes the house temperature will decrease to the level of 26.5 degrees, then it will trigger
the alarm.

NOTE: Hot alarm can happen in 2 of the above-mentioned scenarios. The first, is when the
house temperature reaches the offset point. The second is when there is a sharp decrease in
the house temperature in a certain period. It is possible to disable the cold alarm only if the
second scenario takes place.

Cold Alarm

Cold Alarm Temp Offset

The parameter defines a temperature level below the required temperature. For example: if
the required temperature is 23.6 and the Cold alarm temp. is set to 5.0, the temperature level
for the alarm is 18.6. This level is shown in the Cold setpoint display. When the average
temperature is below 18.6, the alarm occurs. The alarm is automatically cleared when the
average temperature in the house goes above 18.6.

Time period for temp. change

Set here time in minutes to decide the period. If in this period, the temperature will decrease
in more than what is set in the max. temp change in period, then the alarm will go on.

Max. temp change in period

Set here the temperature decrease, that if will take place in the time period we have defined,
will trigger the alarm.

Example:
Required temperature: 23.5 degrees
Time period for temp change: 2 minutes

www.agrologic.com Page 50 of 61 [email protected]

 Program version KIS179901E

Max temp change in period: 3 degrees

The above means that if in any period of 2 minutes the house temperature will decrease by 3
degrees (or more), the alarm will be triggered and go on. In this case, if in a period of 2
minutes the house temperature will decrease to the level of 20.5 , then it will trigger the
alarm.

NOTE: Cold alarm can happen in 2 of the above-mentioned scenarios. The first, is when the
house temperature reaches the offset point. The second is when there is a sharp decrease in
the house temperature in a certain period. It is possible to disable the cold alarm only if the
second scenario takes place.

Water Alarms

There are 2 water alarms: Water Overflow Alarm (#1) and Water Stoppage Alarm (#2). The
water alarms are part of the Alarm Type 2 alarms.

Water Overflow (#1)

The controller counts and stores in its memory the water consumption for 20 minute time
periods. It is constantly comparing these 20 minute time periods of today to yesterdays. If
today’s consumption is more than yesterdays plus the amount entered in at Water daily
consumption increase in 20 minutes, the alarm relay will be activated. Also, if the water
consumption over the measured 20 minutes is more than the amount set in the Water
maximum in 20 minutes, the alarm relay will be activated.
For example: with the values shown in the photo above, if the measured water consumption
yesterday between 13:00 and 13:00 was 50 Liters and today at the same time the
consumption is 80 Liters, the alarm will be activated since the increase in the water
consumption from yesterday is 30 Liters which is greater than 20 Liters (the value entered in
Water addition). If the value measured today is 130 Liters, the alarm also will be activated
because 130 is greater than 120 (the value entered in Water maximum cons. in 20 minutes).

For the first 24 hours of the growing period set the Water Addition to 0 to allow the
controller to record water consumption.

Water Stoppage (#2)

If the total water consumption over any 20 minutes is less than the value entered in Water
minimum in 20 minutes, the alarm will be activated (minimum water consumption is not
compared to yesterday's consumption and is only active when the light relay is on).

www.agrologic.com Page 52 of 61 [email protected]

 Program version KIS179901E

Water Consumption Table

The water consumption table screen displays the water consumption measured in 20 minute
intervals within the last hour. The displayed information is to help learn what is the normal
consumption (in order to set the correct levels for the water alarms), and also to view what
was the unusual consumption that caused an alarm. This screen is reached from the Water
Alarms Screen by tapping on the Water Con. Table icon. The water consumption of the day
before at the same times is also displayed

CO2 Alarm

High CO2 Alarm Level

Enter the maximum CO2 level for the house. Any reading above this level will set off the
High CO2 level alarm and activate the alarm relay.

High CO2 Alarm Delay

This is a time setting in minutes and seconds used as a delay before activating the High level
CO2 alarm.

Low CO2 Alarm Level

Enter the minimum CO2 level for the house. Any reading below this level will set off the
Low CO2 level alarm and activate the alarm relay.

Low CO2 Alarm Delay

This is a time setting in minutes and seconds used as a delay before activating the Low level
CO2 alarm.
