We strongly recommend installing supplementary ventilation as
well as a backup thermostat on at least one fan stage (refer to
the wiring diagram enclosed with this user's manual to connect
the thermostat).
Although overload and overvoltage protection is provided for the
controller circuits, we recommend installing additional protec-
tion devices in the electrical panel.
The room temperature where the controller is located MUST
ALWAYS REMAIN 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

The Expert-32P is an electronic device used for environmental control in
livestock buildings. It allows the user to maintain a specified target
temperature by controlling the operation of ventilation and heating
equipment. Eight heater stages, 10 on-off fan stages, 2 cooling outputs
vent doors, tunnel curtains and 2 clock outputs can be connected to the
controller. Fan stages can be configured to activate cooling systems in
timer mode. In all, the Expert-32P provides up to 32 relay outputs. In
addition, if vent doors are not used, up to 12 PF-6 air inlet controllers
can be connected to the unit.
The main features of the Expert-32P are as follows:
LCD DISPLAY
An LCD display provides an efficient interface for displaying, monitoring
and adjusting parameter values.
PILOT LIGHTS
Pilot lights indicating the state of outputs allow the user to monitor the
operation of the system without having to enter the building.
MINIMUM VENTILATION CYCLE
When ventilation is not required for reducing room temperature, the first
and second fan stages can be operated either continuously or intermit-
tently to reduce the level of humidity and supply oxygen to the room.
TEMPERATURE AND MINIMUM VENTILATION CURVES
The controller can be set to automatically change the temperature set
point and the minimum ventilation cycle over a given period of time in
accordance with the user's requirements by specifying a temperature
curve and a minimum ventilation cycle curve with up to ten different
points each.
PROBE READINGS RECORDED FOR PAST DAYS
Minimum and maximum readings from temperature, humidity and static
pressure probes are recorded for the current day and the previous six
days.

Expert-32P rev.11
Expert-32P
WATER MONITORING
A pulse input is provided for monitoring water consumption for the
current days and the previous six days.
ALARM MANAGEMENT
Alarms are provided for high-low temperatures, defective probes and
other system functions. Alarm states are kept in memory until acknowl-
edged even if alarm situation has been rectified.
HUMIDITY COMPENSATION
The minimum ventilation cycle can be adjusted automatically as a
function of relative humidity. Cooling units can be shut off when humid-
ity levels are too high.
SIX INDEPENDENT TEMPERATURE PROBE INPUTS
Up to six temperature probes can be connected to the controller in order
to obtain a more accurate reading of the average room temperature and
a faster reaction time. Probes can be configured to use zoned heaters.
STATIC PRESSURE CONTROL
A static pressure input is provided to control static pressure by opening
and closing the vent doors.
CONTROL OF AIR INLET MOVEMENT
If the Expert-32P is used in combination with one or more PF-6 control-
lers, the movement of air inlets can be coordinated with the operation of
the fans using a potentiometer located on the panel drive. This allows
the air inlets to be adjusted correctly, without the influence of uncontrol-
lable factors such as wind or air from adjoining rooms.
TWO PROBE SETS
The probe selection for calculating room temperature can be changed at
some point in the ventilation curve to compensate for changes in airflow
patterns that can distort the room temperature calculation.
PASSWORD PROTECTION
A password feature can be enabled to restrict access to the controller
setup functions.

6Expert-32P rev.11
Expert-32P
BACKUP BATTERY
A backup battery allows the unit to keep time in case of a power failure.
OVERLOAD AND OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Resettable fuses are provided at low-voltage inputs and outputs of the
controller to protect its circuitry in the case of an overload or overvolt-
age.
COMPUTER CONTROL
The controller can be connected to a computer, thus making it possible to
centralize the management of information and diversify control strate-
gies.
TEST MODE
A test mode allows you to simulate temperature changes and verify
controller performance, as well as manually activate each output sequen-
tially.

Room Temperature Display: The display on the top right corner of the
faceplate shows the current room temperature averaged over all se-
lected room temperature probes or the static pressure.
LCD Display: The LCD display on the left gives the current readings and
parameters to be adjusted when you
select a function. The three keys to
the right of the display are used to
edit parameters and step through
the display. When the parameters
for a given function cannot all be
presented at once on the display, arrows are displayed on the right hand
side to indicate that additional parameters can be displayed using the
arrow keys . After 15 minutes of inactivity, the display
returns to the ROOM TEMPERATURE display.
Adjusting a Parameter: A parameter can be adjusted when it is flashing
on the LCD display. Use the Edit key to step through the param-
eters displayed. When the required parameter is flashing, use the arrow
keys next to the display to adjust the parameter.
To step to another display screen, it may be necessary to press
the Edit key several times to step through the remaining param-
eters displayed until the up- and down-arrows reappear to the
right of the display.
Output Status LEDs: The LEDs on the right of the control panel give the
status of each output. When the LED is turned on, the output is acti-
vated; when the LED is turned off, the output is deactivated. In the
case of the fan stages, a flashing LED indicates that the activation of the
fan stage is delayed by the opening of the curtain.

Probes operate at low voltage and are isolated from the supply.
Be sure that probe cables remain isolated from all high voltage
sources. In particular, do not route the probe cables through the
same electrical knockout as other cables. Do not connect the
shield from the probe cable to a terminal or a ground.
Extending a probe: Each probe can be extended up to 500 feet (150
meters). To extend a probe:
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 liquid tight. Do not ground the
shielding.
It is preferable to solder the cable joint to ensure a proper contact
between the two cables.
CAUTION: Do not run probe cables next to other power cables. When
crossing over other cables, cross at 90°.
Defective probes: An alarm is generated when a defective probe is
detected. To identify the defective probe, select the functions, PROBE
TEMPERATURES, RELATIVE HUMIDITY and STATIC PRESSURE.
Dashes are displayed instead of a reading when the probe is defective.
In the case of room temperature probes, the controller will operate
according to the temperature of the remaining probes.
2. RELAY PANELS
Use a shielded cable with two twisted pairs. Connect the shielding to the
SH terminal. Use one pair for terminals 1 and 4 and the other pair for
terminals 2 and 3.

There are two types of alarms on the market. One type activates when
current is cut off at its input, whereas the other activates when current
is supplied at its input. For an alarm of the first type, use the NC termi-
nal as shown on the wiring diagram. For an alarm of the second type,
use the NO terminal.
4. COMMUNICATION HOOKUP
If PF-6 air inlet controllers are connected to the Expert-32P, use id
numbers within the range 3-15. Id numbers 1 and 2 are reserved for the
Expert-32P and the relay panel.

CONTROLLER SETUP
The following section describes how to customize the controller for your
particular application. Normally, this setup needs to be done only once.
Setup parameters are grouped under the functions: BROODING/GROW
OUT, USER, RELAY ASSIGNMENT and PROBE ASSIGNMENT. The BROOD-
ING/GROW OUT setup is used to determine which parameter set is currently
enabled. The USER setup is used for configuring display units, probe inputs,
humidity compensation, etc. The RELAY ASSIGNMENT setup is used for
configuring the outputs. The PROBE ASSIGNMENT setup is used to make
probe assignments.
The parameters are presented below in the order they appear on the display.
Press the down-arrow key to step to the next parameter. Press the Edit
key and use the arrow keys to adjust a parameter value. When you are
finished adjusting a parameter, press the Edit key to return to display mode
or move to the next parameter. The user should step through all the param-
eters under these functions at least once.
BROODING / GROW OUT / CLEAN MODE SETUP
Relay and probe assignments can be configured in two separate ways
depending on the type of application, i.e. brooding or grow out. The BROOD-
ING / GROW OUT setup is used to select the current relay and probe assign-
ments to be used by the controller. The user can also select CLEAN MODE
using this function. Clean mode is used to operate heaters at low levels in
empty rooms. The probes used to operate this mode must be assigned to
heaters and cannot be used by the brooding and grow out modes.
