3. Introduction
The Evolution Secondary Sensing System, also known as S3 (S cubed), is a unique control system. It combines
the features of two systems into one. The S3is an alarm system that has the added abilities of the Evolution Back-
Up System. It combines these functions to provide ultimate security at a lower system cost.
•Alarm System
First, it functions as an alarm system to warn or alert of problem conditions such as Power Outage, High or
Low temperature conditions, and/or out of range conditions in other devices through auxiliary switch inputs
such as alarm relays. It contains an alarm relay that is capable of driving a 12 volt audible siren and also
capable of signaling an external dialer through a N.O./N.C. contact. The S3is capable of monitoring up to three
auxiliary alarm inputs. It can also monitor up to three temperature sensors for out of range conditions which
allows the S3the flexibility to monitor any brood setup. In addition, the S3has a built in Cycle Pressure Alarm
that can be used in conjunction with a static pressure switch or a Photohelic gauge to provide a minimum
ventilation monitor.
•Back-Up System
As an added bonus, the S3can also act as the buildings Back-Up System. All of the functionality of the
Evolution Back-Up System is packed into this unit. Therefore, as with the Evolution Back-Up System, it is
capable of driving up to 32 of the Evolution 3000/3001 relay outputs, it can override the vent or tunnel inlets
based on the level of Back-Up necessary, and it contains a back-up timer percentage capable of assisting in
minimum ventilation. This unit is also not limited to use with the Evolution 3000/3001. With the addition of a
fail-safe relay card, this unit is capable of driving four 1 h.p. loads directly. Therefore, it is capable of being
used with any control system. (Note: If used with control systems other than the Evolution 3000/3001, some
functionality will be lost.)
•Additional Benefits
By combining the alarm system and the Back-Up system, the S3adds additional benefits other than the obvious
benefit of a lower system cost. The added benefits include the addition of another Back-Up temperature sensor,
a back-up battery to provide power in the case of a breaker failure or a power supply fuse failure, and an
additional back-up stage delay which delays turning equipment on after a power failure to allow proper
generator start-up.
In addition to the above features and benefits, the design of this system focused on providing a system that was
more user-friendly and beneficial to the end user. The S3added a target temperature in addition to the High and
Low limits for the alarm and the Back-Up System. The High and Low limits are based off of this target,
therefore, keeping your alarm and back-up limits in line is as easy as matching the target temperature of your S3
with the main systems target temperature. In fact, when used in conjunction with the Evolution 3000/3001
controllers, it is as easy as pressing the “Synchronize” button. Another added benefit is the addition of an on
board history that tracks high and low temperatures, alarm conditions, and back-up conditions.

4. S3Front Panel
The S3has five main sections on the faceplate. These are the Zone Temperature Section, the Back-Up Section, the
Control / Editor Section, the Synchronize / Test Section, and the Alarm Status Section.
The S3Power Switch is located on the left side of the controller box as shown below. The switch controls power to
the S3controller and to the back-up battery.
4.1 Control / Editor Section
Just below the Back-Up Section on the right hand side of the controller is the Control / Editor Section.
This section has three buttons: Mode, Plus (+) and Minus (–). The Mode button is used to navigate thru
settings and conditions. When the Mode button is momentarily pressed, the green LED Indicators changes
to the next reading. By pressing and holding the Mode button for at least 5 seconds, the S3can be placed
in the Program Mode as discussed in Section 5 of this manual. Press the Plus (+) or Minus (-) button to
change the values (readings) in the Ventilation Back-Up Display or Zone Temperature Section Displays
depending on the specific display selected.
Control / Editor Green Indicator LED’s show the type of information represented. For example, if the
green light beside “Temperature” is lit, then the Zone Displays are showing the current readings from
sensors. The other options for the Display Indicators are Target, High Limit, Low Limit, Status, and
History. These modes are changed by momentarily pressing the Mode button. Each press of the Mode
button steps the Display Indicator to the next reading Mode.

4.1.1 Temperature
The specific Zone Temperature (Zone 1, 2, or 3) lists the individual sensor temperature for each zone.
The Ventilation Back-Up Temperature shown will be the average of the enabled sensors (Zone 1, 2, and/or
3). In the Zone Temperature Section, a reading of “--.-“ indicates the sensor is disconnected or in error.
Also, if the display is flashing “OFF”, it means the sensor is disabled. Therefore, it will not cause the
alarm to sound or be included in the Back-Up System’s average temperature. The Ventilation Back-Up
Temperature displays the average of the enabled Zone Temperature Sensors.
4.1.2 Target
The Target mode displays the target temperature used for Zone Alarm Limits and Back-Up Limits. The
Zone Alarm Limits and the Back-Up Limits are referenced to the target much like that of a stage on point
in a controller. Therefore, once initially set, the user will only adjust the target which will automatically
adjust the high and low limits appropriately. The Target temperature can be changed (0.5° increments)
using the Plus (+) or Minus (–) buttons. Example: If the Target Temperature is set to 80.0° F; The High
Zone Limit temperature is set to 92.0° F; The Back-Up High Limit temperature set to 90.0° F; When the
Target is dropped to 70.0° F, the High Zone Limits will change to 82.0° F and the Back-Up High Limit
temperature will change to 80.0° F.

4.1.3 High Limit
The High Alarm Temperature is the high temperature at which the controller will indicate an alarm
condition. The High Alarm Temperature is displayed and can be changed using Zone Input Switches
(Zones 1, 2, or 3) then using the Plus (+) or Minus (–) buttons.
The High Back-Up Limit is the high temperature at which Cool 1 of the Back-Up will turn ON.
See Section 7 (Back-Up Operating Conditions).The High Back-Up Temperature is displayed and can
be changed (1.0° increments) using the Select Button then using the Plus (+) or Minus (–) buttons.
NOTE: The High & Low Limits for the temperature sensors can be set individually or can be
programmed to be identical using program parameter P2 (See Section 5).
4.1.4 Low Limit
The Low Alarm Temperature is the low temperature at which the controller will indicate an alarm
condition. The Low Alarm Temperature is displayed and can be changed using Zone Input Switches
(Zones 1, 2, or 3) then using the Plus (+) or Minus (–) buttons.
The Low Back-Up Limit is the low temperature at which Heat of the Back-Up will turn ON.
See Section 7(Back-Up Operating Conditions).The Low Back-Up Temperature is displayed and can be
changed (1.0° increments) using the Select Button then using the Plus (+) or Minus (–) buttons.
NOTE: The High & Low Limits for the temperature sensors can be set individually or can be
programmed to be identical using program parameter P2 (See Section 5).

4.1.5 Status
The Status Mode displays the Sensor Status (ON or OFF) for each specific zone. This setting is used to
remove unused sensors or to deactivate sensors outside of the brood area during ½ or ¾ brood conditions.
Use the Zone Switches for selecting the specific Zone Temperature Sensor then using the + (ON) or –
(OFF) buttons to enable or disable sensors.
4.1.6 History
The History Mode displays the High and Low Temperatures for each specific zone, any Back-Up stages
which have turned ON, as well as any alarm conditions which have occurred since the last reset.
The History Reset function is displayed after pressing the Mode Button once after the Low Temp is
displayed. The Zone 1 display will indicate “HIS” and the Zone 2 display will indicate “no” initially.
Press the “+” button for selecting YES, then press the Mode button to confirm the History Reset to reset all
control history. A new feature added in version V0.10 and later software allows automatic resetting of the
on-board history anytime the Synchronize button is pressed.

4.2 Alarm System Indicators
The Alarm Status LED Display indicates if all Conditions are OK (Green LED) or the specific reason for
the alarm condition (Red LED’s).
If a red Alarm LED is blinking, the problem may be one of two causes:
a. If Conditions OK LED is Green, an Alarm condition exists although the 30 second confirmation timer
has not expired.
b. If Conditions OK LED is OFF, the alarm condition has been acknowledged (Acknowledge LED will
also be ON).
Except for the Conditions OK (status) indicator, all of the remaining LED Indicators have red LED’s for
displaying alarm status information.
4.2.1 Conditions OK Indicator
At the top of the Alarm Status Indicators section is an LED indicator labeled “Conditions OK”. This
indicator shows the current alarm status of the S3. If the Conditions OK LED is green, there are no alarms
being generated. If the LED indicator is OFF, the S3is in the alarm mode. When the LED is OFF, refer to
the other Alarm Status Indicators for specific alarm condition information.
4.2.2 Power
When this RED LED turns ON, the S3control has lost AC power or the F1 fuse is blown. Refer to Section
8.4 for fuse replacement information.
4.2.3 Low Battery
When the Low Battery RED LED indicator turns ON during loss of AC power, the battery level is
partially depleted and currently operating at a low energy level. If the battery voltage has dropped below
about 10.6 volts, the red LED Indicator will light. If the battery indicates low, the operator should set all
controls so that the siren will not activate, and leave the machine plugged in for about four hours. This
should recharge the battery. If this doesn’t work the battery is probably bad. In this case, contact your
Cumberland dealer for a replacement. Note that it is common for the Low Battery indicator to be lit if the
alarm has sounded for a long time.
4.2.4 AUX 1 and AUX 2
The designated alarm condition exists when the AUX 1 and/or AUX 2 RED LED turns ON. The Auxiliary
inputs can be connected to a variety of external control sources such as curtain drops, control alarm
outputs, pressure switch, or any device with a NC (Normally Closed) dry contact connection. The white
area to the right of the LED indicator can be used to write-in the alarm title/description by using a

permanent fine-tipped marker. Each auxiliary alarm can be individually enabled or disabled by using the
circuit board jumpers. Refer to the Circuit Board Layout in Section 11.2. If the jumper is installed, the
AUX 1 or AUX 2 alarm is Disabled; If the jumper is removed, the AUX 1 alarm is Enabled.
4.2.5 Control System Auxiliary
The Control System auxiliary input is a special input that should be connected to the main control system.
It operates similar to Aux1 and Aux2 and yet has special functions associated with it to provide better
protection for the building. The functions are different when the unit is connected to an Evolution
3000/3001 and when it is connected to another type control system. The following details the differences.
Operation with Evolution 3000/3001:
If connected to a Evolution 3000/3001, there is a communication network that allows
communication of the alarm data from the main system to the S3. This allows the system to alarm
even if the hard-wired connection to the Control System Auxiliary does not exist. It also allows
the S3to provide more detail as to what problem exist using the four LEDs located just below the
Control System indication. The following picture highlights these indicators.
The CONTROL SYSTEM alarm can be enabled or disabled by using the circuit board jumpers.
Refer to the Circuit Board Layout in Section 11.2. If the jumper is installed, the CONTROL
SYSTEM alarm is Disabled; If the jumper is removed, the CONTROL SYSTEM alarm is
Enabled. The Evolution controller communicates with the S3to display the four alarms described
below:
Operation without the Evolution 3000/3001:
If the unit is used with another type control system, the Control System Auxiliary can take on other
functions on top of just being an alarm. This input can function in one of two ways depending on the
setting in program parameter P62 (See Section 5).
If “P62 = On”, the input becomes a Cycle Pressure input. Therefore, while connected to a Photohelic, or
Static Pressure switch, it will monitor the static pressure through the timer cycle period (P63). If it does
not see a static pressure spike during this cycle, it will assume that the minimum ventilation is not working.
Therefore, it will sound the alarm and also trigger the Back-Up system to run the “Cool1” backup stage on
a minimum ventilation cycle. The minimum ventilation cycle is five minutes and the runtime will be based
on the setting in P3 (See Section
P62 = On – Cycle Pressure Alarm Enabled
5).
If “P62 = OFF”, the input is a normal auxiliary input that will function in much the same way as Aux1 and
Aux2. There is one distinction. If the S3detects the alarm signal on this input, it will not only sound the
alarm but it will also trigger the Back-Up System to run the “Cool1” backup stage on a minimum
ventilation cycle. The minimum ventilation cycle is five minutes and the runtime will be based on the
setting in P3 (See Section
P62 = OFF – Cycle Pressure Alarm Disabled
5).

Manual No. 4801- 2997 Rev 1-15 Secondary Sensing System 12 of 42
4.2.6 Zone Temperature Section
The Zone Temperature Section shows the specific zone alarm status and control settings for the
temperature alarms.If the Alarm Indicator is ON, that particular Zone is out of its temperature range based
on the High and Low Limits.
4.3 Back-Up System Indicators
The Back-Up System Indicators display the Back-Up operation status and control settings. Refer to
Section 7 for additional information.
4.3.1 Inlet Overrides Indicators
The Inlet Override Indicators indicate if the Back-Up is calling for vent inlets or tunnel inlets to
open. Vent inlets operate with Cool 1; Tunnel inlets operate with Cool 3.
4.3.2 Ventilation Back-Up Display and Selection Switch
The Ventilation Back-Up Display and Selection Switch are used to select and change the back-up
settings. Refer to Section 7 for additional information.
4.3.3 Back-Up Stages
The Back-Up Stages Indicators indicate if the Heat, Cool 1, Cool 2, or Cool3 stages are ON or
OFF. If Cool 1 is flashing, it indicates that it is operating on a minimum ventilation timer. Refer
to Section 7.1.1 for additional information.

4.4.1 Synchronize Systems
The Synchronize Systems feature is used with the EV-3000 or EV-3001 controller to update the
S3target temperatures to the match the controller target temperatures and also automatically reset
the on-board history. The on-board history automatic reset is a new feature added in version
V0.10 and later software. If the S3and the EV-3000 or EV-3001 temperature targets do not
reflect the same information, the Synchronize Systems LED will flash. Press the Select button to
automatically Synchronize the target temperatures and reset the on-board history. When the
Synchronize Systems Select button is pressed, the target temperatures of the S3will be changed
to match the Evolution 3000/3001 controller target temperatures.It will also be displayed in the
Back-Up display for verification.
4.4.2 Test/Acknowledge Alarm
The Test/Acknowledge Alarm Section has two functions. It allows the user the ability to test the
alarm contacts or the ability to silence (acknowledge) an active alarm.
Testing Alarm Contacts
To test the Alarm contacts, the user can simply press and hold the “Select” button next to the
Test/Acknowledge Alarm indicator. This allows the user the ability to manually test his
alarm siren and/or alarm dialer. As long as the button is depressed, it will activate the alarm
relay irregardless of the conditions that exist. In applications that use audible sirens, it is
recommended that the operator press the Test/Acknowledge Alarm button for at least five
seconds twice a week. In addition to insuring that the alarm is working correctly, the
sounding of the alarm helps to condition that livestock or poultry so they are not shocked by
the sound when an emergency condition arises.
Acknowledging Alarms
If an active alarm condition exists, you can silence the audible siren, phone dialer, etc. once
you arrive by pressing this button. This indicates to the alarm that you are acknowledging the
problem; therefore, it disables the alarm contacts. If a different alarm occurs after the
acknowledgement, the alarm contacts will be re-enabled. After an acknowledgement, the
alarm indicator will continue to blink and the indicator beside the Test/Acknowledge Alarm
section will also be on. This acknowledged condition is reset by only two ways. First, the
alarm condition is corrected; secondly, the AC power and the battery power are removed
from the controller.

5. Program Mode
By pressing and holding the Mode button for at least 5 seconds, the S3can be placed in the Program Mode as
discussed below and on the following pages.
Settings that are usually set up once per grow-out 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 Zone 1 display will
show the first parameter (P1) and the Zone 2 display will show the current setting of parameter P1 (either C or F).
The “Pxx” is known as a parameter number. All the program items for the controller have a unique parameter
number assigned to them. The numbers are listed in the following subsections 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.
5.1 General Parameters
General parameters are associated with the operation and control of the S3:
P1 – Temperature Limits
This general parameter selects either Celsius (C = Celsius) or Fahrenheit (F = Fahrenheit) temperature
units. If P1 is set to “C”, the temperature units will be displayed in Celsius. If P1 is set to “F”, the
temperature units will be displayed in Fahrenheit.
P2 – Individual Sensor Limits
This general parameter determines how to program the Sensor High and Low temperature limits. As
indicated earlier, these limits can be set individually to different values. However, if it is desired to set
Sensor 1, Sensor 2, and Sensor 3 to the same values, this parameter changes the programming
procedure to allow limits to be entered only once but used for all sensors. If P2 is set to “YES”, the
high and low sensor limits are entered individually. If P2 is “NO” limits are entered once for all
sensors. To change the value of P2, press the Plus (+) button for “YES” or the Minus (-) button for
“NO”.

Manual No. 4801- 2997 Rev 1-15 Secondary Sensing System 15 of 42
P3 – Back-Up Timer Percentage
This determines the percentage that COOL 1 will be run in an Emergency condition for minimum
ventilation. (10% to 100%). The timer is a five minute timer.
A new timer percentage curve feature (added in version V0.09 and later software) automatically
changes the timer percentage based on the Target Temperature.
The data and table below shows an example:
The table and graph above is representative of the curve. The curve actually has multiple points as the
Target Temperature changes in between these points. The Emergency Back-Up Timer Percentage is
not user selectable although you can view the current timer percentage by going to Program Mode and
displaying P3. As you can see by the table, once the Target Temperature gets to 70 F (21.1 C) or less,
the timer fan will run 100% of the time. In other words, Cool 1 will always run in the event that the
main controller is lost or has a problem operating its timer fans. Timer percentages in between 70 –
100% are not implemented because frequent on-off transitions are very hard on single phase AC
motors.
P4 – Back-Up Stage On Delay
This determines the number of seconds that the S3will wait before turning Stages ON during power
loss (10 to 60 seconds). This feature is designed to help with generator start-up.
P5 – Fail-Safe Vent Inlets
This determines whether the “Vent Inlet” relay operates with a normal action or a fail-safe action. If
“Yes” (Fail-Safe Action) is chosen, the relay will default to allow the inlet machine to “Open” under
extreme failure. Example – Power removed. If “No” (Normal Action) is chosen, the relay will default
to allow the main controller control of the inlet. If “Fail-Safe” mode is chosen, the wiring must be
reversed as shown in Section 11.5 wiring diagram.
IMPORTANT 11.5
: It is important to ensure that the correct wiring connections are implemented with the
specific P5 or P6 setting selection. Section shows the required wiring for Normal
Action (P5/P6 = “No”) and also the required wiring for Fail-Safe Action (P5/P6 =
“Yes”).
P6 – Fail-Safe Tunnel Inlets
This determines whether the “Tunnel Inlet” relay operates with a normal action or a fail-safe action. If
“Yes” (Fail-Safe Action) is chosen, the relay will default to allow the inlet machine to “Open” under
extreme failure. Example – Power removed. If “No” (Normal Action) is chosen, the relay will default
to allow the main controller control of the inlet. If “Fail-Safe” mode is chosen, the wiring must be
reversed as shown in Section 11.5 wiring diagram.

5.2 PC Compatible Cumberland Network Parameters
These parameters are used with Cumberland’s Farm Manager Software. The controller has four
parameters which are used to function with the Cumberland PC compatible inter-controller network
(HH.Net).
P40 – HHNet Address
HH.Net permits up to 32 controllers to be addressed on a single communications port of a personal
computer (PC). In order for the computer to recognize the communications from the controllers, each
controller must have a unique network address.
P41 – Version Number
This is not settable by the user. It is the version of the controller software.
P42 – Controller Setup
This is not settable by the user. It is a unique number that allows the network software (Farm
Manager) to recognize the type of controller.
P43 – Local Network Enable
The Local Network Enable feature enables the S3to communicate with an Evolution 3000/3001
controller.If connected to an Evolution 3000/3001 and the Back-Up is enabled, the setting will
automatically change to Yes.
No = Not Connected [Stand-Alone]; Yes = Connected [EV Network]
5.3 Alarm Function Parameters
The Alarm Function Parameters operate special alarm features.
NOTE: These Features Are Automatically Disabled If Connected To The Evolution
3000/3001 Controller.
P62 – Cycle Pressure Alarm
The Cycle Pressure Alarm is setup to monitor minimum ventilation. It uses a pressure switch or
other pressure/timer fan monitoring device and must be connected to Control Aux. This setting
changes the operation of the control system auxiliary alarm. Contrary to its normal operation where an
open signal would trigger an alarm, it will actually be looking for an open signal during the Minimum
Vent Cycle Time (P63). If it does not see the open signal during this period, it will sound the alarm
and trigger the Back-Up system to run “Cool 1” on a minimum ventilation timer cycle. (ON =
Enabled; OFF = Disabled)
P63 – Minimum Vent Cycle Time
The Minimum Cycle Time is the time in minutes which is being used to provide minimum ventilation
such as 5 or 10 minute timers. (Cycle time for timer fans)
5.4 Sensor Calibration Parameters
The S3has three temperature sensors that can be calibrated. The parameter(s) for calibration are PSx
where xis the sensor number.
NOTE: A sensor should never be calibrated more than 8 degrees. If a setting is that far out of range, it
indicates that there is a problem other than sensor calibration.
PS1 - Calibrate Sensor 1
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 Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons to set the calibration temperature to the thermometer reading.
PS2 - Calibrate Sensor 2
This is the calibration temperature for Sensor 2.
Instructions: Same as Sensor 1 except substitute PS2 for PS1 in the instructions above.
PS3 - Calibrate Sensor 3
This is the calibration temperature for Sensor 3.
Instructions: Same as Sensor 1 except substitute PS3 for PS1 in the instructions above.

6. General Operation
6.1 Alarm Inputs
The S3has seven inputs that can be used to sound an alarm; Three from temperature sensors, three
auxiliaries, and one for power out. The temperature sensors can be enabled or disabled. If a sensor is
enabled it will be used to generate an alarm. If a sensor is disabled, it will not generate an alarm, even if
the S3determines that its readings are out of limits. The Auxiliary and Power Out inputs are always
enabled. The seven alarm inputs are:
6.1.1 Temperature Sensors #1 ,#2 and #3
The S3comes from the factory with three temperature sensors. The S3will trigger an alarm if the
temperature goes above the high limit setpoint or below the low limit setpoint of the sensors. The S3will
wait 30 seconds after a sensor indicates it is out of range before triggering an alarm.
6.1.2 Auxiliary Inputs #1, #2, and Control System
The S3is equipped with three auxiliary inputs. These inputs are connected in a closed loop circuit. On the
circuit board located on the door of the alarm enclosure there is a terminal block for connecting the
Auxiliary Inputs (See Section 11.8 for a connection diagram). Each of the connections has an IN and OUT
terminal. If, at any time, the connection between the IN and OUT positions is broken (opened), the alarm
will sound. There are many devices on the market that could be used with these inputs. For instance,
water pressure switches, light meters, and thermostats could all be used. The S3will wait 30 seconds after
an auxiliary input is broken before triggering an alarm.
6.1.3 Power Out
The Power Out alarm indicates that there has been no AC electricity present on the alarm power feed for at
least 30 seconds.
AC Power Fuse:
If it is found that there is power present at the electrical outlet and the Power Alarm is ON at the S3, the 3
Amp slow-blow fuse located on the S3circuit board (Fuse F1) should be checked for a blown fuse. To
replace a fuse, disconnect AC power, disconnect the positive (+) battery terminal from the battery,
carefully replace the blown fuse with the correctly sized replacement fuse, reconnect the positive (+)
battery terminal to the battery, reapply AC power, and verify the power alarm has cleared. The S3will wait
60 seconds after a Power Out indication before triggering an alarm. Refer to the S3Circuit Board Layout
in Section 11.2 and Fuse Replacement in Section 8.4.
Terminal Connections to the Battery:
If AC power is out or disconnected from the S3AND none of the S3Displays or LED’s are ON, verify that
the Battery Positive (+) and Battery Negative (-) quick-connect terminals are securely attached to the
battery. Refer to the S3Wiring in Section 11.2.
If the AC power is OFF for an extended period of time with the alarms ON, the Back-Up Battery will
eventually be drained of all power. Refer to Section 8for additional troubleshooting information.
6.2 Alarm Outputs
The S3has two alarm outputs. These can be used individually or simultaneously. The alarm outputs are:
6.2.1 Siren
The siren hookup to the S3will deliver a 12 volt DC signal with a current up to 1.0 amps. Many operators
want to mount the siren a long distance from the controller. Sometimes, this is desirable in order to locate
the siren closer to their dwelling, sometimes to get it away from their animals. The use of a small gauge
wire to connect the Alert Alarm to the siren could cause a great deal of voltage drop. This voltage drop, in
turn, can cause the siren to become inoperative. If the operator wants to mount the siren more than 50 feet
from the controller, a relay with a 12VDC rated coil should be used to switch current to the siren. When a
relay is added, the operator must provide a separate battery and charger for the siren circuit.

6.2.2 Dry Contact (N.O. and N.C. Contacts)
The S3provides a set of dry contacts that can be used to trigger a modem, auto-dialer or other auxiliary
equipment. Both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) contacts are available. See Section
11.7 for a wiring diagram.

7. Back-Up System Operating Conditions
The S3Back-Up System operates differently based on whether it is connected to a Evolution 3000/3001 control
system or if it is a stand-alone (not connected to the Evolution 3000/3001 local network) system. Of course the
system loses some of its functionality when it is not connected to the Evolution 3000/3001 network but its
capabilities are still much better than other Back-Up system alternatives. This section will be divided into two sub-
sections.
Important!
Before continuing, one must determine which type of system is installed for this specific application.
If the S3is connected to a Cumberland Evolution 3000 or Evolution 3001, refer to Section 7.1 for a
description of the Back-Up operation with the Evolution 3000/3001. Otherwise, refer to Section 7.2
for Back-Up operation as Stand-Alone System.
7.1 Operation with the Evolution 3000/3001
7.1.1 Normal S3Back-Up Operation
During Normal Operation, the S3always 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 (2º 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. When used with EV-3000/3001, Cool
3 comes ON and Cool 1 will go OFF to disable sidewall/negative fans while in tunnel ventilation. Stages
turn off at temperatures as indicated by the arrows in Graph 1.

7.1.2 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 S3. In this case, the S3assumes 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 S3. The alarm relay on the S3
is also engaged in this mode operation.
7.1.3 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 S3and indicate which stages that it is trying to turn on. At this point, the S3would
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 11.6). 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.
