1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Precautions
We strongly recommend installing
supplementary natural ventilation as
well as a backup thermostat on at least
one cooling stage (refer to the relay pan-
els’ wiring diagram to connect the ther-
mostat).
Although fuses at the input and outputs
of the controller protect its circuits in
case of an overload or overvoltage, we
recommend installing an additional pro-
tection device on the controller's sup-
ply circuit.
The room temperature where the con-
troller is located MUST ALWAYS RE-
MAIN BETWEEN 32°F AND 104°F
(0°C TO 40°C).
To avoid exposing the controller to
harmful gases or excessive humidity, it
is preferable to install it in a corridor.
DO NOT SPRAY WATER
ON THE CONTROLLER!

sensorsandloads.

8EXPERT LA rev.00
EXPERT LA
MAIN FEATURES:
VERY LARGE LCD DISPLAY
A large LCD screen provides an efficient interface
for displaying, monitoring and adjusting the param-
eters.
3 CONTROLLER PROGRAMS
The controller allows using 3 different programs to
control the room temperature. It is thus possible to
activate a specific program, that uses particular
temperature settings, in accordance with the ani-
mal age for instance.
STATUS LEDS
Pilot lights that indicate the status of the control-
ler outputs are located on the faceplate of the con-
troller. These LEDs allow monitoring the system’s
operation without having to enter the building.
MINIMUM VENTILATION CYCLE
When ventilation is not required to reduce the room
temperature, fan outputs can run either continu-
ously or intermittently to reduce humidity levels
and supply oxygen to the room.
8 INDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
Up to eight temperature sensors can be connected
to the controller to obtain an accurate reading of
the average room temperature and a faster reac-
tion time.
NATURAL VENTILATION CURTAINS
The controller can open 2 natural ventilation cur-
tains and stop all ventilation when the outside tem-
perature is sufficiently warm.
TUNNEL VENTILATION
When the room temperature rises, tunnel ventila-
tion reduces the actual temperature perceived by
the animals.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
The inside and outside relative humidity sensors al-
low controlling humidity levels in the room.
0-10V OUTPUT
The controller has 2 internal 0-10V outputs. The
first 0-10V output can either be used to control an
air inlet or variable-speed fans and the second out-
put can control lighting equipment.
CONTROL OF THE AIR INLET MOVEMENT
The movement of vent doors (inlets) can be coordi-
nated with the operation of the fans. This allows
the vent doors (inlets) to be adjusted correctly,
without the influence of uncontrollable factors such
as wind or air from adjoining rooms
HISTORY MENUS
History menus allow monitoring the sensor read-
ings and verify the run time of some outputs. The
controller comes with the following histories menus:
•Minimum and maximum sensor readings:
Ambient temperature ........... 60 days
Inside temperature sensors .... 10 days
Outside temperature sensor ... 75 days
Inside humidity sensor ........... 75 days
Outside humidity sensor ........ 75 days
Static pressure sensor........... 75 days
•Run time of each heater ........ 75 days
•Run time of each feeder ........ 75 days
•Daily water consumption ....... 75 days
ALARM MANAGEMENT
The controller provides alarms for high-low tem-
peratures, defective sensors and other system fail-
ures. It keeps in memory the 20 most recent alarm
conditions.
PASSWORD PROTECTION
A password can be enabled to restrict access to
the setup functions of the controller.

2. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Installing the Controller on
the Wall
Fasten the two metal brackets on the mounting
holes located behind the controller using four
screws. Then, mount the enclosure on the wall us-
ing four other screws. Leave a clearance of at least
16” to the left of the enclosure to allow the cover
to be removed for maintenance.
2.2 Connections
2.2.1 Main Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
user's manual to connect the controller. Drill holes
at the bottom of the enclosure to pass the wires
and install watertight connectors to prevent water
from entering in the enclosure. Do not make any
holes at the side and top of the enclosure.
ALL WIRING MUST BE DONE BY AN
AUTHORIZEDELECTRICIANANDMUST
COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE CODES,
LAWS AND REGULATIONS. MAKE
SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE DOING
ANY WIRING TO AVOID ELECTRICAL
SHOCKS AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
2.2.2 Alarm Connection
There are two types of alarms on the market. One
type activates when current is cut off at its input;
the other type of alarm activates when current is
supplied at its input. For an alarm of the first type,
use the NC terminal as shown on the wiring dia-
gram. For an alarm of the second type, use the
NO terminal.
2.2.3 Sensor Inputs
Sensors operate at low voltage and are isolated
from the supply. Make sure that sensor cables
remain isolated from all high voltage sources. In
particular, do not route the sensor cables through
the same electrical knockout as other cables. Do
not connect the shield from the sensor cable to a
terminal or a ground.
Extending a sensor:
Each sensor can be extended up to 500 feet
(150 meters). To extend a sensor, use a shielded
cable of outside diameter between 0.245 and 0.260
in (6.22 and 6.60 mm) (the cable dimensions should
not be under 18 AWG) to ensure the cable entry is

0-10V output
Select “Yes” to enable the 0-10V output.
This output can either be used to control an
air inlet or a variable fan stage.
Vent door/inlet 1-2 mode
Vent doors (inlets) can operate in two dif-
ferent ways:
Accessible if a vent door (inlet) output is enabled
above.[This parameter is common to all programs].
1. Time
The vent door (inlet) opens or closes in
timer mode, as a function of tempera-
ture.
2. Static pressure (S.P.)
The vent door (inlet) opens or closes as a
function of static pressure.
Close vents in natural
Select “Yes” for vent doors (inlets) to close
when the controller enters in natural venti-
lation.
Accessible if natural ventilation curtains and vent
doors/inlets are enabled.
Tunnel control
Does the tunnel door opens and closes ac-
cording to the static pressure level (S.P.) or
according to the room temperature.
Accessible if the tunnel curtain is activated above.
The static pressure option is only available if the
static pressure sensor is activated in section 4.7.1.
Number of static pressure set points
The controller can use up to 3 groups of
static pressure set points and each group
starts at a user-defined fan stage.
Accessible if at least one air inlet output (inlet,
vent door or tunnel curtain) operates according to
the static pressure level.
0-10V Type
Select the type of signal used by the
0-10V output (0-10V or 10-0V).
Accessible the 0-10V output is enabled above.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
0-10V mode
Select the function of the 0-10V output:
Accessible if the 0-10V output is enabled above.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
-0-10V ventilation output
When it is used for ventilation, the
0-10V output runs similarly as a vari-
able-speed fan stage and uses indepen-
dent temperature settings.
-0-10V inlet
When it is used as an air inlet, the
0-10V output opens and closes an ac-
tuator as a function of the ventilation
level.
0-10V output follows set point
Operating temperatures of the 0-10V out-
put can either be related to the set point –
which means the controller automatically
adjusts them when the set point changes –
or they can be set as absolute values.
Select “Yes” if they follow the set point or
select “No” if they set as absolute values.
Accessible if the 0-10V output is enabled above.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Curtain compensation
Select "Yes" to enable a compensation on the
opening of natural ventilation curtains as a
function of the outside temperature.
Accessible if natural ventilation curtains are en-
abled above and if an outside temperature sensor
is enabled in section 4.7.1.
