3. Introduction to the Evolution Back-Up System
The Evolution system has the
option of containing an integrated
Back-Up System. This Back-Up
System contains 4 stages: 1 Heat
and 3 Cool. This system’s
purpose is to back up the master
controller in the case of failure.
The Back-Up System is a stand-
alone control system. It contains
its own temperature sensors that
react to a High and Low Limit.
This Back-Up System is unlike
any emergency control system on
the market. This system offers a
much higher level of protection.
In addition to being able to
monitor for high and low
temperatures, it also stays in constant communication with the master controller. This communication
allows the Back-Up System to run a minimum ventilation timer on Cool 1 or override the Evolution panel
if certain conditions warrant. The conditions are explained in Section 4. All Back-Up Systems can protect
against a high or low temperature, but only this system can protect against today’s biggest grower concern:
MINIMUM VENTILATION FAILURE!
4. Evolution Back-Up Operating Conditions
As explained above, this is more than your customary Back-Up System. This system contains three
separate modes of operation that are entered depending on the circumstances. These modes are Normal
Operation, Emergency Operation, and Override Operation. These modes will be explained in more detail
below. These modes are entered based on information that it has received, or not received, from the master
controller. No matter what mode of operation the Back-Up System is in, it will always attempt to maintain
the temperature inside the High and Low Limits.
4.1 Normal Evolution Operation
During Normal Operation, the Back-Up System always maintains the temperature between its high and low
limits. It accomplishes this by using its
temperature sensors and its four stage
outputs. If the temperature drops below
the Low Limit, the Heat stage will come
on. That stage will not turn off until it
warms the building at least 2. The
same is true if the temperature goes
above the High Limit however, there
are three levels of cooling stages on the
Back-Up System. The following
example explains the operation of the
stages in relationship to the temperature
and the limits. In this example the Low
Limit is set as 66º F, and the High Limit
is set as 86º F. If the
temperature drops to 66º F, then the HEAT stage turns on. The HEAT stage turns off when the
temperature rises to 68º F (1º above the Low Limit). If the temperature rises to 86º F, then COOL 1 turns
on. If the temperature continues to rise to 87º F (1º above the High Limit), then COOL 2 turns on. If the
temperature rises to 89º F, then COOL 3 turns on. Stages turn off at temperatures as indicated by the
arrows in Graph 1. It is important to note, if COOL 3 turns ‘ON’, COOL 1 will be disabled to insure that
sidewall fans or vent inlets are not operating while the Back-Up system is in ‘Tunnel Vent’ mode.

Part No. 4801-5309 rev 1-15 Evolution Back-Up 5 of 17
4.2 Emergency Operation
In this mode of operation, the system still maintains the temperature as it does in Normal Operation. In
addition, it will begin running the first cooling stage (Cool 1) on a 5 minute timer. The timer percentage is
determined by the setting in P3 (Emergency Timer Percentage). This mode of operation is entered if
communication is lost between the master controller and the Back-Up System. In this case, the Back-Up
System assumes that the master controller is lost and tries to maintain the minimum ventilation until
someone recognizes the problem. Emergency Operation is indicated by a “LnE” flashing in the display of
the Back-Up System. The alarm relay on the Back-Up System is also engaged in this mode operation.
4.3 Override Operation
In this mode of operation, the system still maintains the temperature as it does in Normal Operation. In
addition, it receives commands from the master controller to turn on certain stages of heating or cooling.
There are many different circumstances that could cause this to happen, in this manual, we will list one of
the most common. For example, if communication were lost inside the EV-3000, the master controller
would be unable to turn the appropriate stages on in the usual way. Therefore, the master controller would
communicate to the Back-Up System and indicate which stages that it is trying to turn on. At this point,
the Back-Up System would obey the command and turn the appropriate stages on. For this mode of
operation to work to its fullest potential, care must be taken to insure that the stage jumpers on the relay
strips match the stage setting in the master controller (Refer to Section 12). Override Operation is
indicated by a “LnO” flashing in the display of the Back-Up System. The alarm relay is also engaged in
this mode of operation.
4.4 Fail-Safe Relay Operation
There are two types of Relay strips used in the Evolution 3000. The Normally Open (NO) strip requires a
signal from the controller board in order to energize a stage of ventilation. Should power be removed from
the EV-3000 the Normally Open Relay strips would not be able to energize a ventilator. On the other hand
the Fail-Safe relay strip would close each of the relays in the strip resulting in energizing the ventilators in
case of a controller power failure. Each of the relay strips contains four relays for controlling four stages.
In the EV-3000 there are a total of four relay strips, three will be N.O. and one will be a Fail-Safe. The
operator must insure that the Fail Safe relay strip is connected only to stages that should be turned on in
case of a controller failure. See the EV-3000 Owners manual Part No. 4801-5307 for a physical
description of the relay strips. It is not recommended to place heating equipment on Fail-Safe stages.
5. Inlet Operation During Back-up
The EV-Back-Up contains a relay that can operate the Vents
and/or Tunnel during Back-up operation of the EV-3000.
The Inlets will automatically open during back-up.
Cool 1 controls Vents Inlet. Cool 3 controls Tunnel Inlets.
When Cool 1 and Cool 3 are not set, Back-up reverts to Normal
operation.
6. Setting EV-Back-Up Stage Jumpers
Pictured at the right is a Stage Relay Board consisting of four
stage relays and the associated stage jumper for each stage relay.
The stage jumpers are labeled COOL 1, COOL 2, COOL 3 and
HEAT. Location of the jumper places the stage in one of these
four modes, or if the jumper is not inserted, the stage is not
placed on Back-Up. The jumpers should be placed based on the
operation of stage equipment and should be the same as assigned
in the EV-3000 Controller. Jumpers are placed according the
following table:

7. Day-to-Day Back-Up Operating Instructions
7.1 Toggle Sequence of Mode Button
Continuously pressing the Mode button cycles the display through the parameter sequence as illustrated
below. The parameter data is shown in the display.
7.2 Checking/Adjusting Temperatures, and Settings
When you press the Mode button, watch the green LED’s beside the main display. Whichever LED is lit is
the parameter you are viewing: “Room Temp”, “High Limit”, and “Low Limit” values. Note: To adjust
these parameters, press the Mode button until you see the parameter you want to adjust, then use the +
button to increase the value, and the - button to decrease the value.
Room Temperature - The average of the sensors located inside the house.
High Limit - The temperature inside the house at which the controller will turn on the first Evolution
Back-Up cooling stage.
Low Limit - The temperature inside the house at which the controller will turn on the first Evolution
heating stage.
8. Set Limits
The EV-3000 Back-Up System requires setting of a High Limit and a Low Limit at which cool/heat stages
will turn on. To determine where to set the High Limit and the Low Limit, first decide on a target
temperature of the house. This is usually the target temperature of the primary controller. Then set the
High Limit to a temperature several degrees above the desired target temperature. Set the Low Limit to a
temperature several degrees below the desired target temperature. Note: It is recommended that the
High Limit be at least 10º above the room’s target temperature and that the Low Limit be 10º below
the room’s target temperature.

To Set High Limit:
1. Press the “Mode” button to select the High Limit Indicator.
2. Press the ”+” and ”–“ buttons to enter the value of the High Limit.
3. Setting Complete.
To Set Low Limit:
1. Press the “Mode” button to select the Low Limit Indicator.
2. Press the + and – button to enter the value of the Low Limit.
3. Setting Complete.
9. Program Mode Parameters
Settings that are usually set up once per growout, or maybe even just for summer or winter are referred to
as program parameters and are accessed by taking the controller to program mode. To get to program
mode, press and hold the “Mode” button for five seconds. When the controller has entered program mode,
the main display will flash between “P1” and the value of this parameter.
The “P1” is known as a parameter number. All the program items for the controller have a parameter
number assigned to them. The numbers are listed in the table “Program Mode Parameters” below with a
short description of each parameter. When in program mode, you change the value of certain parameters
by using the + and - buttons as needed. When you have finished with the current setting, press the “Mode”
button to move to the next parameter. The program mode parameters for the Evolution Back-Up are
shown in Table 1.
10. Calibrate Sensors
The temperature sensors should be calibrated to ensure accurate temperature detection. To calibrate the
sensors an independent temperature measurement is required such as a thermometer or thermocouple.
1. Place a thermometer inside the house at the location of each sensor. Allow a few minutes for the
temperature to stabilize.
2. Take readings from the thermometers located at Sensor 1 and Sensor 2.
3. Use the Program Mode to set calibrations of Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 (Refer to Table 1).
Parameter Description
P1 This selects either English (OFF = Fahrenheit) or Metric (ON = Celsius) temperature
units.
P2 Determines if an alarm is sent on a Back-Up condition. (ON = Alarm On, OFF = Alarm
OFF) An alarm will be generated on an error condition even if P2 is set to OFF. See
Section 13.
P3 Emergency Timer Percentage. (0% to 100%). This determines the percentage that
COOL 1 will be run in an Emergency condition.
P41 This is the software version number. Not Changeable.
PS1 This is the calibration temperature for Sensor 1.
Instructions: With the controller operating, use a digital thermometer or similar
independent temperature measuring device to measure the temperature at Sensor 1
location. With PS1 selected, use the + and – buttons to set the calibration temperature
to the thermometer reading.
PS2 This is the calibration temperature for Sensor 2.
Instructions: Same as Sensor 1 except substitute PS2 for PS1 in the instructions above.
