3. Introduction
Control Buttons:
Mode, +, and -.
Stage Status
Indicators
Variable Speed
Status Indicators
Main Display Active Display Indicators
The Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage Controller is designed to be one of the simplest controllers on the
market to operate, but to also be one of the most powerful.
The Swine Finisher has three main regions on the facepad that you need to be concerned with. First is the
main display. This section includes the main display, and four green LED’s which tell what the display is
indicating. If the green light beside “Room Temperature” is lit, then the display is showing the average
inside temperature of your building. Later in this manual you will learn how to see the other three
parameters.
On the left hand side of the controller face you will see the five stage status indicators (a small red LED on
the left side of this white region). This light will be lit if the stage is on, and will flash on and off if it is
running because it is on a timer. The blank white region is for you to label your equipment such as (front
heat, back heat, sidewall fans, etc.). Above the stage status indicators, you will notice either one or two
variable speed stage status indicators. These will flash whenever the variable speed stages are on.
Just below the main display on the right hand side of the controller is the control button region. This region
has three buttons, Mode, +, and -. You will learn the use of these three buttons later in the manual.
4. Day to Day Operating Instructions
This section of the manual will give you all you need to know about the day to day operation of your
controller.
4.1 Checking/Adjusting Temperatures, and Timer Percentages
At any time you want to see the average temperature of your house, just look at the display. When
no one has pressed a button for over one minute, the display will automatically show “Room
Temperature”. To see the outside temperature, press the button labeled “Mode”. This button is
located in the center of the controller facepad. When you press the button, watch the green LED’s
beside the main display. Whichever LED is lit is the parameter you are viewing. You can easily
see “Outside Temperature”, “Var/Timer Percentage”, and “Target Temperature”.

Part No. 4801-0150 Rev 1-20 Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage 5 of 33
Room Temperature
The average of the sensors located inside the house.
Outside Temperature
The temperature read by the sensor located outside the house. (Sensor 3)
Var/Timer Percentage
This is the percentage of the timer cycle that a stage on a timer will run. If this is set for
30, and your timer period is set to 10 Minutes, the timed stages will run for 3 minutes out
of every ten minutes. This setting will also show minimum speed settings for variable
speed fans on controllers with that option.
When you are stepping through the main display parameters and you get to this option,
be sure to notice the stage status indicators. This parameter may be different for each
variable speed/Cool Timer stage. As you press the Mode button, the Var/Timer
Percentage display will show each of the settings. If the Var/Timer Percentage LED on
the main display is lit, and the stage status indicator beside Variable Speed Stage 1 is lit,
any adjustment to the setting will only affect that particular stage.
Target Temperature
The temperature the system tries to maintain.
To adjust these settings, press the mode button until you see the setting you want to adjust. Then,
use the + button to raise the value and the - button to lower the value. When you are finished
setting a new value, either press the mode button again, or do nothing, and the system will return
to normal operation within a few seconds.
4.2 Running Curtain Machines
Under normal circumstances the machines should be controlled automatically. This way, if the
controller needs to open the curtains, it will open them. If, however, you want to open or close
them for any reason do the following.
1. Press the + and - button at the same time and hold them down for 5 seconds. When the
controller is in manual mode, the display will flash “PC”.
2. To open the machine press the + (Open) Button
3. To close the machine press the - (Close) Button
4. Finally when you are finished positioning the machine, press both the + and - buttons at the
same time, and hold them for 5 seconds.
5. The controller will take control of the curtains at this point.
5. Program Mode
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. Some examples of these
settings are Curtain Runtime, Stages on Timers, and Sensor Calibration.
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 section called “Program Reference” in the back of
this manual with a short description of each parameter.
When in program mode, you change the current parameter 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.
Look at the stage status indicators. If the light for stage 1 is lit, the parameter you are programming is for
stage 1. To go to stage 2, continue to press the mode button until the stage 2 stage indicator light is lit.

Part No. 4801-0150 Rev 1-20 Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage 6 of 33
Important: In the following descriptions, many references are made to the Main Curtain (Unit
1). If you do not have a Main Curtain or do not wish to use the auxiliary
connection as shown in Section 10.3, you must place a jumper across the signal
terminals for Unit 1. This manipulates the controller into thinking the main
curtain is closed. In turn, this allows the heat and negative stages to operate.
5.1 Stage Parameters
The following parameters are used to program each stage on the Farm Hand Swine Finisher.
Through these parameters, the user has complete control over the operation of each stage. The
following sections explain each parameter in detail.
P1 = Stage Sensors
P2 = Stage Mode
P3 = Stage Timer Settings
P4 = Stage ON Point
P5 = Stage OFF Point
5.1.1 Stage Sensors (P1)
The Swine Finisher triggers stage operations from temperature sensors. The stage sensor
parameter (P1) sets which sensor(s) the controller uses to regulate stage operation.
P1 options are as follows:
10 = Sensor 1
Sensor 1 is used. The controller will ignore sensor 2.
02 = Sensor 2
Sensor 2 is used. The controller will ignore sensor 1.
12 = Average of Sensors 1 & 2
The average temperature of sensor 1 and sensor 2 is used.
5.1.2 Stage Mode (P2)
The Farm Hand Swine Finisher is a very intelligent controller, therefore, it needs to not only know
whether this is a heating or cooling stage but also what type of cooling stage. The Farm Hand
Swine Finisher reacts not only to temperature but also curtain position. This feature allows the
grower to program the cooling stages to work exactly like he wants them to without the expense
of hard wiring through relays and limit switches. This feature allows the Farm Hand Swine
Finisher to better react to the environment. Any Stage can be programmed to be one of the
following:
01 = Heat
This mode allows the equipment to operate when room temperature is below the
ON Point for the stage, and the curtains are closed.
02 = Cool Stir
This mode setting allows the cool stage to run whether the main curtain is open or
closed. The only time that this mode will not run is during tunnel mode.
03 = Cool Negative
This mode setting only allows the cooling stage to run if the main curtain is
closed, hence the name Negative. This stage will not run if the controller is in
tunnel mode.
04 = Cool Negative Tunnel
This mode setting works exactly like the Cool Negative setting except it will run if
the controller goes into tunnel mode. This stage is sometimes referred to as a
transitional stage. In other words, it operates before it goes into tunnel and also
during tunnel.

Part No. 4801-0150 Rev 1-20 Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage 7 of 33
05 = Cool Tunnel
This mode setting only works when the controller is in tunnel mode.
5.1.3 Stage Mode (P3)
The Farm Hand Swine Finisher is equipped to satisfy any of your minimum ventilation needs for
regular runtime timers and to cool timers.
00 = No Timer
Select 0 for the timer setting if you do not want the stage to be on a timer.
01 = Runtime Timers
Any one of the On/Off stages can be placed on the system timer by
placing a "1" in parameter 3 (P3) of the stage. By doing this the stage
will operate off of the system timer while the temperature is below the
stage's OnPoint. Once the temperature reaches the stage OnPoint, the
stage will come on full time.
02 = Cool Timers
ON/Off Stages
Any one of the On/Off Stages can be placed on a cool timer.
By doing this the stage will operate off the system timer only while the
temperature is above the stage OffPoint (OFF). Refer to Section 8.3
"Cool Timer Stage Operation" for proper setup.
Variable Stages
Any of the variable stages can be placed on a cool timer. By doing this
the stage will be placed on the system timer all the time. It will run full
speed for a certain percentage of time which is set in Var Timer/PCT.
This percentage will progressively increase as the temperature rises
above the minimum OnPoint setting (OFF). Refer to Section 8.5
"Variable Speed Fan Control" for proper setup.
5.1.4 Stage OnPoints (P4)
The OnPoint setting is the temperature at which a stage turns on. (i.e. the temperature at which a
start signal is transmitted by the controller). The OnPoint setting of a 'cool' stage will always be
greater than the target temperature. The OnPoint setting of a 'heat' stage will always be less than
the target temperature. The temperature controller will automatically limit settings accordingly.
5.1.5 Stage OffPoints (P5)
The OffPoint setting is the temperature at which a stage turns off.
5.1.6 Minimum Runtime Percentage (P10) (Variable Stages Only)
This setting is the percentage of the system timer that the variable stage will run at minimum
speed if the stage sensor's temperature is below the Minimum OnPoint (OFF) for the stage.

Part No. 4801-0150 Rev 1-20 Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage 8 of 33
5.1.7 Motor Curve (P11) (Variable Stages Only)
The controller is programmed to operate single phase or three phase fan motors at their optimum
performance levels. Select the correct motor curve parameter (P11) for your particular application
from the following table.
5.2 Curtain Parameters
This controller runs 1 or 2 curtain machines independently. No additional resources –including
external timers –are necessary. The curtain machines run off a common cycle timer and run
timer, however they can use separate sensors. The sensor selection is made via a switch located
on the inside of the front cover of the machine. This switch causes the machines to either operate
together or independently. If they are operating independently, unit 1 always uses sensor 1 and
unit 2 uses sensor 2.
A brief overview of the programmable parameters for the curtain machines follows:
NOTE: Parameters P20-P24 are only used when using the main curtain to
naturally ventilate the building.
P20 -- Cycle Time
The controller looks at all parameters and decides whether or not to move the
curtains occasionally. This parameter determines how often this occurs. Valid
settings are 1 to 10 minutes.
P21 -- Run Time
When the controller determines that curtains need to run open or close, this
setting determines how long they run. Valid settings are 1 to 240 seconds.
P22 -- Initial Run Time
When the controller determines that the curtains should run open and senses that
they are closed, it uses this parameter for the ‘first’ run. This setting is used to
allow the curtains to open enough on the first run to guarantee adequate
ventilation. Valid settings are 1 to 240 seconds.
P23 -- Degrees above target for Unit 1
Generally a grower would like to give his variable speed and/or first stage fans
an opportunity to ventilate the building before starting curtains open. Thus,
when the curtains do come down, they will most likely stay down for a fair
period of time. This setting allows the user to do that. Valid settings are: 0 - 25.
P24 –Degrees above target for Unit 2
Occasionally, a grower may want one curtain sidewall to drop before the other
to try to avoid large temperature swings. This setting allows for this to happen.
Note: If you would like both curtain units to always react together, you
must set P23 = P24.
Curve
Conditions
0
This curve is optimized for use with Cumberland’s line of Funnel Flow Fans that are 24” or less. Also,
line voltage must be Single Phase.
1
This curve lends itself better to operation of 36” fans. The power distributed at each percentage is
somewhat greater than that of curve 0. Therefore, the speed will be a little greater than that of curve 0.
2
This curve is for 3-Phase systems. Its purpose is to shift the voltage curve to give a much higher power
from the varied phase. Conditions that would warrant the use of this curve is a variable speed fan that
varies a great deal from 100% speed to 95% speed.
3
This curve is for 3-Phase systems. Its purpose is to shift the voltage curve to give much less power from
the varied phase. Conditions that would warrant the use of this curve is a variable speed fan that varies
very little from 100% speed to 5% speed.
4
This curve is for use with Cumberland’s newest Emerson fan motor. These motors are typically used on
fans that are 24” or smaller.

Part No. 4801-0150 Rev 1-20 Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage 9 of 33
P25 –Tunnel Onpoint
This is the sensor 3 temperature at which the controller will enter tunnel mode.
Only applicable when tunneling on outside temperature.
P26 -- Tunnel Offpoint
This is the sensor 3 temperature at which the controller will exit tunnel mode.
Only applicable when tunneling on outside temperature.
P27 -- Close Override (Degrees Below Target)
This setting provides the grower a temperature at which to override the curtains
closed. The setting represents degrees below target at which time the curtains
will begin closing regardless of the cycle. The setting allows the user to
anticipate quick temperature drops to help maintain a stable inside temperature.
Valid settings are 1-25.
5.3 Cool Timer Settings
The following two settings allow the user to set the Runtime range for their cool timer stages.
P70 = Cool Timer Maximum Percentage
This sets the maximum Runtime percentage that a cool timer stage can operate.
P71 = Cool Timer Minimum Percentage
This sets the minimum Runtime percentage that a cool timer stage can operate.
5.4 PC Compatible Network Parameters
This option requires Cumberland’s Farm Manager Software. The controller has 3 functions which
are used to set it up on the Cumberland PC compatible inter-controller network (HHNet). These
are:
P40 - HHNet Address
HHNet allows you to connect up to 32 controllers on a single communications
port of your personal computer (PC). In order for the computer to recognize the
communications from the controllers, each controller must have a unique
address. For example, If you have two Swine Finisher, and two Power Vents
you would need to set the first Swine Finisher to be address 1, the second Swine
Finisher to address 2, the first Power Vent to address 3, and the second Power
Vent to address 4. Valid settings are: 1 - 32. (You do not have to address the
controllers in any particular order.)
P41 -- Version Number
This is not settable. It is the version of controller software.
P42 -- Controller Type
This is not settable. It is a unique number thath allows the network software
(Farm Manager) to know what type controller it is.
5.5 Sensor Calibration
The Swine Finisher has 3 sensors that may be calibrated. The parameter(s) for calibration are PSx
with x being the sensor number. The sensor temperature reading is alternately displayed along
with the parameter number.
You should never attempt to calibrate a sensor more than 8 degrees. If you have a setting that far
out of range, it indicates that there is a problem that should be corrected.
PS1 - Calibrate Sensor 1
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.
PS2 - Calibrate Sensor 2
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.

Part No. 4801-0150 Rev 1-20 Farm Hand Swine Finisher 5 Stage 10 of 33
PS3 - Calibrate Sensor 3
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.
6. Rarely Changed Settings
Settings which are rarely, or never changed are found on a bank of switches located inside the front panel
of the controller. The upper position is ON, the lower position is OFF. The functions of the switches are as
follows:
6.1 Switch Settings
SWX 1 - Lock
This switch is used to lock the controller. When it is on, the user may change settings such as
target temperature and minimum speed/timer percentages but they can not change the settings
in program mode. If the switch is set to ON the program settings are locked.
SWX 2 - Fahrenheit/Celsius
This switch toggles between Fahrenheit and Celsius operation. If the switch is set to ON the
controller will read the sensors as Fahrenheit. (Note: If you change this switch, you will have
to reset your tunnel on points and off points and your Target Temperature.)
SWX 3 - 5/10 minute timer
This switch selects between a 5 and 10 minute system timer. If the switch is ON, the timer is
10 minutes.
SWX 4 - Curtains independent
This switch is used to choose whether the curtain machines operate off the same sensor or if
they operate independently. If the switch is ON, the curtains are independent with curtain 1
running on sensor 1, and curtain 2 running on sensor 2.
SWX 5 - Tunnel On/Off
This switch is used to enable or disable the tunnel mode of the controller. When this switch
is in the OFF position, the controller will not go into tunnel for any reason.
SWX 6 - Tunnel On Stage
This switch tells the controller whether it is tunneling off of the lowest programmed tunnel
stage or if it is tunneling off of outside temperature. If this switch is set to the ON position,
the controller will switch to tunnel mode whenever the first programmed tunnel stage comes
on. If this switch is OFF, the controller will use the “Tunnel On Point” setting for entry into
tunnel.
SWX 7 - Power Ventilate
This switch indicates whether this is a power ventilated house or a natural ventilated house.
If it is a power ventilated house the controller will leave the inlet curtain closed until tunnel
mode is entered. This switch must be set to ON if you have a Power Ventilated house.
