WARNING: Read and save these in-
structions!
Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment is
used in a manner not specified by the manu-
facturer. Carefully read and keep the following
instructions for future reference.
We strongly recommend installing supplemen-
tary natural ventilation as well as a backup
thermostat on at least one cooling stage.
Although fuses at the input and outputs of
the controller protect its circuits in case of
an overload or over-voltage, we recommend
installing an additional protection device on
the controller’s supply circuit.
The room temperature where the controller
is located mus t always remain be twe en 32°F
and 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Indoor use only!
To avoid exposing the controller to harmful
gases or excessive humidity, it is preferable
to install it in a corridor.
If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protec-
tion provided by the equipment may be
impaired.

1.4. Main Features
LCD Display — An LCD display provides an
efficient interface for displaying, monitoring
and adjusting parameter values.
Minimum Ventilation Cycle — When ven-
tilation is not required to reduce the room
temperature, fan outputs can run either con-
tinuously or intermittently to reduce humidity
levels and supply oxygen to the room.
Set point & minimum ventilation curves —
The controller can automatically change
the temperature set point and the minimum
ventilation level with time as the animals are
growing up.
History menus: History menus allow monitor-
ing the sensor readings and verify the run time
of some outputs. The controller comes with
the following histories menus:
Min & Max sensor readings:
Inside temperature sensors ..........7 days
Outside temperature sensor .........7 days
Humidity sensor..........................7 days
Static pressure sensor .................7 days
Daily water consumption ...........60 days
Run time of each heater ............75 days
Run time of each feeder.............75 days
Alarm management — Alarms are provided for
high-low temperatures, defective probes and
other system functions. Alarm states are kept
in memory until they are acknowledged even
if alarm situation has been rectified.
Humidity Control — The control offers many
ways to compensate for high or low humid-
ity levels.
6 temperature sensors — Up to six tem-
perature sensors can be connected to the
controller to obtain an accurate reading of
the average room temperature and a faster
reaction time.
Control of the air inlet movement — The
movement of air inlets can be coordinated
with the operation of the fans using a po-
tentiometer located on the panel drive or a
timer. This allows the air inlets to be adjusted
correctly, without the influence of uncontrol-
lable factors such as wind or air from adjoin-
ing rooms.
De-icing/purge cycle — An automatic de-
icing/purge function can be used to de-ice
the curtains or purge the air in any weather
conditions.
Password protection — A password can be
enabled to restrict access to the setup func-
tions of the controller.
Backup battery — A backup battery allows
the unit to keep time in case of a power
failure.
Overload and overvoltage protection — Re-
settable fuses are provided at low-voltage
inputs of the controller to protect its circuitry
in the case of an overload or overvoltage.
Computer control — The controller can be
connected to a computer, thus making it
possible to centralize the management of
information and diversify control strategies.
Test mode — A test mode allows you to simu -
late temperature changes and verify controller
performances.
2. MOUNTING INSTRUC-
TIONS
2.1. Installing the Controller
on the Wall
Fasten the two metal brackets on the mount-
ing holes located behind the controller using
six screws. Then, mount the enclosure on
the wall using 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 autho-
rized electrician and must comply with
applicable codes, laws and regulations.
Make sure power is off before doing any
wiring to avoid electrical shocks and
equipment damage.
Do not install rigid conduit into electrical
knockouts. Only nylon cable glands are
permitted for cable or wire fastening.
The controller has no power-on switch.
An external switch or circuit breaker
shall be included in the building instal-
lation to interrupt power to L and N
electric power lines. It shall be in close
proximity to the equipment and within
easy reach of the operator. It shall be
marked as the disconnecting device for
the equipment.
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 diagram. 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 electri-
cal 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 ex-
tended 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
6EXPERT PN110 rev.23
EXPERT PN110
should not be under 18 AWG) to ensure the
cable entry is liquid tight. Do not ground the
shielding.
It is preferable to solder the cable joint to
ensure a proper contact between the two
cables.
Do not run sensor cables next to other
power cables. When crossing over other
cables, cross at 90°.
Defective sensors: An alarm is generated
when a defective sensor is detected. Defec-
tive sensors are identified in the “Alarm”
menu. Refer to chapter 10 for further
information on the alarms.
2.2.4. 0-10V Output Connection
It is recommended to use a 18 to 22 AWG
wire to connect the devices to the 0-10V
outputs. This type of output can be used to
connect various devices such as lights.
3. USER INTERFACE
3.1. Location of the Controls
LCD Display — The LCD display gives the
current readings and displays the param-
eters when you select a function. When the
parameters for a given function cannot all be
presented at once on the display, arrows are
displayed on the right handside to indicate
that additional parameters can be displayed
using the arrow keys. After 15 minutes of
inactivity, the display returns to the AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE display.

Variable Output Status — 2 variable outputs
can be used to provide variable-speed ventila-
tion. If they are used, assign each of them to
proper fan stages.
Var — The variable fan output is assigned
to the fan stage and operates in variable
mode: when the stage starts, the variable
fan starts running at its minimum intensity.
The fan intensity gradually increases as the
room temperature increases.
On — The variable fan output is assigned
to the fan stage and operates in on/off
mode: the fan runs at 100% when the fan
stage is on and stops when the stage is off.
Off — The variable output is not assigned.
If the last fan stage uses a variable output,
the output must use the on/off operating
mode. Do not set the operating mode of
the last fan stage to the variable mode.
Relay Status — Put a check mark to assign
a relay to the output or select "Timer" if load
connected to the relay must run in timer
mode.

4.6.6. Clean Mode
The clean mode is used to interrupt regular
operations of the controller when the room
is empty. When this mode is enabled, the
controller fully close the curtain, adjusts the
position of the air inlet* and provides a mini-
mum level of heat and ventilation (optional).
The controller also puts the animal age back
to 0 day (Off). * If minimum ventilation cycles are
used in clean mode, the air inlet goes to its minimum
position; otherwise it closes fully .
Soaking: Soaking cycles can be enabled when
the controller enters in clean mode. These
cycles are used to activate soaking devices
to clean the room while it is empty (s. 6.7).
Minimum Ventilation in Clean Mode: To en-
sure good air circulation, minimum ventilation
cycles can be activated while the controller
operates in clean mode. In this case, the
controller uses the same fans and settings
as in regular minimum ventilation cycles. This
option is available if variable-speed fans are
used in minimum ventilation (see sec. 6.1).
Low Temperature Alarm in Clean Mode:
The controller can sound an alarm if the
temperature gets too low while it operates
in clean mode. Refer to chapter 10 to set
this alarm limit.

troller to monitor low temperature alarms
during the clean mode.
4.6.7. Test Mode
The test mode is used to simulate tempera-
ture changes and to verify the controller’s
performances. During the test, the room
temperature probe inputs are turned off, al-
lowing the user to change the temperature
used by the controller to operate the stages.
The controller operates as before using the
new temperature settings.
When the room temperature is defined by
the test mode, the controller bypasses the
temperature probes inputs and uses the new
value as a reference. The Test Mode is deac-
tivated after 15 minutes of inactivity.

2. Set the following parameters:
Current Set Point — This is the current tem-
perature set point in use. This value cannot
be changed; to modify the set point, change
the day or night set points below.
Day set point — Set the temperature set point
that is used during the day (this set point is
used all day long if the night set point is not
enabled). The controller can also change the
day set point automatically over time with a
curve (see section 5.2). *This parameter can
only be modified while the temperature curve is
disabled (sec. 5.2).
Night Set Point — A different temperature
set point can be used at night. The night set
point can be used to lower the target room
temperature for instance. The night set point
is relative to the day set point, which means
that it is automatically a dj us ted whe n th e day
set point changes. Set the night set point to
the desired value. *Accessible if the night set point
is enabled (see section 4.7.5).
Clean Mode Set Point — Select what is the
target room temperature while the controller
operates in clean mode.
Outside Set Point — The controller can ad-
just the moving speed of natural ventilation
curtains as a function of outside temperature.
When this function is used, the controller
refers to the outside temperature set point
to control the moving speed. Set the outside
temperature to the desired value. *Accessible if
the outside temperature sensor is enabled in section
4.7 and if the curtain compensation is enabled in the
Installation Setup (section 4.5).
5.2. Temperature Curve
The controller can automatically adjust the
target room temperature (day set point) over
time by using a curve.
A curve is composed of 10 steps. Each step
specifies a day number and a temperature set
point for that day (the day number refers to
the animal age). Once the curve is activated,
the controller changes the set point every
hour in a linear fashion between consecutive
steps of the curve. When the last step is
reached, the controller keeps using the tem-
perature set point associated to that day.

these settings are entered by the user as ab-
solute values, they are defined based on the
room set point. They are thus automatically
adjusted if the set point changes.
The situation is slightly different when the
outside temperature is greater than the room
set point. In this case, the outside tempera-
ture becomes the reference point (instead of
using the set point as a the reference). This
means an alarm is set off when the room
temperature reaches Outside Temperature + High
Alarm Offset (the offset being the difference
between the high alarm temperature setting
and the set point). A third parameter, called
the Critical Temperature, is defined to continue
monitoring the indoor temperature for high
temperatures. When the indoor temperature
reaches the critical high temperature (defined
as an absolute value), an alarm is set off.

Temperature Alarms in Clean Mode
The controller can monitor low temperature
alarms when it is in clean mode. If this alarm
condition is used, the controller sounds an
alarm when the temperature falls below low
alarm limit that is associated to the clean
mode.
The low alarm limit used in clean mode is re-
lated to the clean mode set point; this means
the alarm limit is automatically adjusted when
the clean mode set point changes.
Static Pressure Alarms
The controller can sound an alarm when the
stati c pressure (SP) level exce eds high or low
pressure limits for a certain period of time.
Water Spill Alarm
A water spill alarm is triggered when the
water consumption exceeds a user-defined
amount of water within a 15-minute delay.
This alarm limit ranges from 0 to 10,000 gal-
lons (or liters) per 15 minutes.
The alarm will stay ON for 15 to 30 min-
utes after a water spill situation is re-
solved. This is the time it takes for the
controller to gather the new consumption
values required to restart monitoring
water spill alarms properly.
Water Consumption Alarms: When
the percent difference in water consumption
between the last 24-hour period and the pre-
vious 24-hour period is greater than a given
maximum value, an alarm is set off.

Water Consumption
The high and low water consumption alarm
limits are defined as follows:
• Case #1: If more water was consumed in
the last 24 hours than in the 24 hours that
precede, the controller will determine how
much more water was consumed and will
convert this value in percent. If the surplus
(in %) is higher than the “High Alarm” limit,
the controller will set off an alarm.
Last 24h - Previous 24h x 100 ≥Hi Alarm

• Case #2: If less water was consumed in
the last 24 hours than in the 24 hours that
precede, the controller will determine how
much less water was consumed and will
convert this value in percent. If the deficit (in
%) is higher than the “Low Alarm” limit, the
controller will set off an alarm.

Before it can start monitoring the water
consumption alarms, the controller needs
to gather consumption data for 48 hours
in a row (no consumption alarm can be
detected within this 48-hour delay):

10. RH COMPENSATION
The controller offers different way to com-
pensate for high/low relative humidity (RH)
levels in the room. All compensation functions
are explained below. To use them, you must
enable each desired compensation function
in section 4.6.
1. High RH Comp. with the Heating Out-
puts: The controller can compensate for high
humidity levels by activating the heaters in
timer mode. As the RH level increases, the
controller increases the “On Time” portion
of the heating timer to compensate for the
change. The maximum compensated heating
“On Time” is reached when the RH level is
10% above the RH Set Point.

means that the cooling stage stops operating
whenever the humidity level exceeds the mist
shutoff limit. The mist shutoff limit ranges
from 20% to 100% (Off) of humidity.
4. Low RH comp. with mist outputs: To
compensate for low RH levels, the controller
can activate the misting output in timer mode.
The misting output starts when RH levels
decrease below the Low RH Set Point.

6.2. Fan Stages
6.2.1. Principle of Operation
6.2.1.1. Operation of Fan Stages
The controller has 8 fan stages which operate
in a sequence to increase the level of ventila-
tion as the room temperature increases. Each
stage can activate two variable outputs,
on/off outputs, and a combination of timer
relays for cooling purposes. A fan stage is
activated when the room temperature reaches
its start temperature and is disabled when
the room temperature decreases to its stop
temperature.

Ventilation
Level
Start temperatures of fan stages are defined
with respect to the set point and with respect
to each other. This means that when one of
these values is adjusted, all the consecutive
values are adjusted by the same amount. For
example, if the set point is increased by 1°F,
the start temperature of all fan stages will be
increased by the same amount.
Timer-based relays in fan stages
Fan stages can activate relays that operate
following a timer (On and Off Times). This is
useful to activate misting units in timer mode
while a specific fan stage is active. Refer to
section 4.7.4 to enable timer-based relays.
6.2.1.2. Variable-Speed Fans
Variable outputs are activated when their as-
sociated fan stage starts (see section 4.9).
They start running at their absolute minimum
speed (see section 4.5) and their speed
gradually increases as the room temperature
increases. Variable outputs reach their full
speed when the start temperature of the fol-
lowing fan stage is reached.

Transition between fan stages 1 and 2
If the next stage is an ON/OFF fan stage, the
variable output is deactivated when the new
stage starts. If the next stage is another vari-
able fan stage, the speed of the first variable
stage is reduced to its minimum speed when
the second variable stage starts. This ensures
a smooth transition between both stages.
The bandwidth is the temperature interval
over which variable outputs go from their
minimum to their maximum speed. This is true
even if full speed is never reached as in the
example below: when stage 2 starts, the con-
troller decreases the speed of variable outputs
to the initial speed associated with stage 2. It
then uses the bandwidth to increase the fan
speed as the room temperature rises.
If an outdoor temperature probe is
used, it is possible the controller can
automatically adjust bandwidths 1-2 as
a function of the outdoor temperature
(see below).

Stage 1 and 2 bandwidths can be adjusted

temperature decreases, stages 1 and 2 band-
widths increase gradually to compensate for
the change. The user specifies the bandwidth
used in summe r as well as the bandwi dth used
in winter for both variable outputs of stages
1 and 2. The bandwidths can be adjusted
from 1 to 10°F (0.6 to 5.6°C). The winter’s

8.3. Brooder Heater
The controller can use a relay or it can use
its second 0-10V output to control a brooder
heater. Refer to the installation options in
section 3 to enable the proper type of brooder
output (relay or 0-10V).
Operating Temperature:
To operate the brooder heater, the control-
ler refers to the average reading of the
temperature probes assigned to the output
(see sec. 4.6.3). In addition, the operating
temperatures of the brooder heater can ei-
ther be defined as absolute values or they
can be related to the set point, which means
they are automatically adjusted when the set
point changes. Refer to the installation menu
in section 3 to determine if the operating
temperatures must follow the temperature
set point or not.
Brooder’s Hi Fire: With the Brooder Hi Fire
option, the controller controls the brooder
output in two different ways, just as if there
were two brooder outputs (regular output
and Hi-Fire output). The regular brooder
output and the Hi-Fire output each uses its
particular relay assignement and Start/Stop
temperatures. Refer to section 3 to activate
the brooder’s Hi fire option.
Closing the Curtains when Brooder Heater
is ON:
The controller can automatically close the
natural ventilation curtains when the brooder
heater is on. Enable the "Interlock" option in
section 3 to activate this function.
Brooder Heater Curve:
The controller can adjust the start tempera-
ture of the brooder over time with a curve.
Refer to section 8.3.3 for further information
on the brooder curve.

6.2.3. 0-10V Ventilation Outputs
The controller has two 0-10V outputs that can
either be used to control heaters or fans. To
operate these outputs, the controller refers
to the average temperature reading of their
assigned temperature probes (sec. 4.7.3).
This section explains how 0-10V ventilation
outputs work.
The 0-10V ventilation outputs start at their
minimum intensity when the average tem-
perature of their probes reaches the start
temperature. They increase in intensity as
the temperature increases; 0-10V outputs
reach their maximum intensity when the tem-
perature rises to the “Maximum Temperature”
parameter setting.

6.3. Air Inlets
6.3.1. Principle of Operation
The controller can control the opening of 1 air
inlet. The opening of this device can either be
defined by a potentiometer or with a timer.
Set the operating mode of the air inlet in the
Installation Setup (sec. 4.5).
When using the inlet output, the user has
to associate an inlet opening with the start-up
of each fan stage. As the room temperature
increases and new stages are activated, the
air inlet will open or close accordingly.
Inlet opening in minimum ventilation:
The inlet is at its “Closed” position during the
“OffTime” portion of a minimum ventilation
cycle and opens to its minimum ventilation
position during the “On Time”.
Over-opening of the air inlet: A supplemen-
tary stage can be defined in order to continue
opening the air inlet beyond the activation
temperature of the last ventilation stage.
This over-opening stage is used to direct the
airflow more efficiently during periods of
warm weather.
The air inlet can either reach its over-opening
position right away when the room tempera-
ture reaches a certain point or it can reach its
over-opening position gradually as the room
temperature departs from the start tempera-
ture of the last fan stage. In either case, the
inlet reaches its full over-opening position at:
On T° of the last fan stage + Over-opening
bandwidth.
Refer to the Installation setup menu to enable
the Over-Opening function for the air inlets
(see section 4.5).
Security function (for potentiometer-based
inlets): If the potentiometer is defective, the
controller will operate in security mode: if
the room temperature is 2°F (1.1°C) above
the set point, the inlet opens according to the
following cycle: 5 seconds ON, 120 seconds
OFF. If the room temperature is 2°F (1.1°C)
below the set point, the inlet closes according
to the same cycle.
6.3.2. Settings
Inlet openings are defined as a percent-
age of their total opening time.

2. Set the following parameters:
Position — This is the current position of the
air inlet. This value cannot be modified.
Test mode — This is the room temperature
that is used in test mode. This value can only
be modified in the “Test Mode” menu (see
section 4.17.7).
Hysteresis — When the actuator isn’t moving,
a minimum opening or closing command is
necessary for the actuator to start moving.
This value is called the “hysteresis” and it can
be adjusted from 1 to 15 seconds (timer-
based inlet) or from from 2 to 10% (potenti-
ometer-based inlets). The hysteresis prevents
the actuator from moving constantly. Set it
to the desired value.
Min Fan Speed — Set the fan speed over
which the inlet can start opening.
Closed — This is the position of the air inlet
during the “OffTime” portion of minimum
ventilation cycles. Set this position to the
desired value.
Min Vent — This is the position of the air inlet
during the “On Time” portion of a minimum
ventilation cycle.

8. HEATING
8.1. Heating Stages
The controller can control 3 independent
heating stages. These stages are independent
from one another and each operate according
to their own temperature settings and probe
selection.
Reference Temperature: The On and Off
temperatures of heating stages are related
to the temperature set point. This means
they are automatically adjusted when the set
point changes.
Heaters 1-3: The controller has 3 basic heat-
ing outputs.
Heaters’ Hi Fire: In addition to its 3 basic
heating outputs, the controller can simulate
additional heating outputs with the Hi Fire
option. When this option is used, the control-
ler doubles the number of heating outputs in
use. Each simulated heating output (Hi Fire
Step) operates as a regular heating output,
with its own start/stop temperatures, relay
selection and probe selection. Refer to sec-
tion 3 to activate the heaters’ Hi fire option.

2. Set the following parameters:
On temperature — Set the temperature below
which each heating stage starts. If the Hi fire
option is used, set this temperature separately
for both steps of the heating stage.
Off temperature — Set the temperature at
which each heating stage stops. Note that
the Off Temperature of a heating stage must
be at least 0.5°F (0.3°C) higher that its On
Temperature. If the Hi fire option is used, set
this temperature separately for both steps of
the heating stage.
8.2. 0-10V Heater
The controller has two 0-10V outputs that
can either be used to control heaters or fans.
To operate these outputs, the controller re-
fers to the average temperature reading of
their assigned temperature probes (see sec.
4.7.3). This section explains how a 0-10V
heater work.

and maximum speeds of the 0-10V output.
The maximum speed must be greater than
the minimum speed.
Maximum output at — Set the temperature
at which the output reaches its maximum
speed (this parameter must smaller than the
start temperature).
Stop at — This is the temperature below
which the 0-10V output stops.
