1.1. Precautions
WARNING: Read and save these in-
structions!
Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment
is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer. 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 must always remain between 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.
Do not spray water on the controller! In
order to clean the control, wipe it with a
damp cloth.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock the

1.4. MainFeaturesofthe
Controller
Very large LCD display — An LCD display
provides an efficient interface for displaying,
monitoring and adjusting parameter values.
5 Controller programs — The controller al-
lows using 5 different programs to control
the room temperature. It is thus possible to
activate a specific program, that uses par-
ticular temperature settings, in accordance
with the animal age for instance.
StatusLEDs— Pilot lights that indicate the
status of the controller outputs are located
on the faceplate of the controller. These
LEDs allow monitoring the system’s operation
without having to enter the building.
Minimumventilationcycle— When ventilation
is not required to reduce the house tempera-
ture, the fan outputs can run either continu-
ously or intermittently to reduce the humidity
level and supply oxygen to the room.
Recuperationofthewarmairintheattic— In
order to make energy savings, the controller
can extract the warm air from the attic and
send it back into the room.
Set point & minimum ventilation ramp —
The controller can automatically change
the temperature set point and the minimum
ventilation level with time as the animals are
growing up.
Probe readings recorded for past days —
Minimum and maximum readings of the static
pressure and humidity probes are recorded
for the current day and for the past 75 days.
The minimum and maximum readings of each
individual temperature probe is recorded for
the current day and for the past 7 days.
Watermonitoring— 2 pulse inputs are pro-
vided to monitor the water consumption for
the current day and the past 75 days.
Lightprograms — Up to 10 light programs
can be used.

8EXPERT 64+, rev.12
EXPERT 64+
Alarmmanagement— Alarms are provided
for high-low temperatures, defective probes
and other system functions.
HumidityControl— The control offers many
ways to compensate for high or low humid-
ity levels.
9independentprobetemperatureinputs— Up
to 8 inside temperature probes and 1 outside
temperature probe can be connected to the
controller in order to obtain a more accurate
reading of the average house temperature and
a faster reaction time.
Staticpressurecontrol— A static pressure in-
put is provided to control static pressure level
by opening and closing the vent doors.
Passwordprotection— A password feature
is used to restrict access to some of the
controller setup functions.
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 and outputs of the controller to pro-
tect 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 — This mode allows you to
simulate temperature changes and verify the
controller’s performance.
2. MOUNTINGINSTRUCTIONS
2.1. InstallingtheController
ontheWall
Open the latch and lift the cover. Remove the
black caps located on each of the four mounting
holes. Mount the enclosure on the wall using
four screws. Be sure the electrical knockouts
are at the bottom of the enclosure in order to
prevent water from entering the controller. Insert
the screws in the mounting holes and tighten.
Fasten the four black caps provided with the
controller onto the four mounting holes. The
enclosure must be mounted in a location that
will allow the cover to be completely opened
right up against the wall.
2.2. Connections
2.2.1. Controller’sMainWiring
Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with
this user’s manual to connect the controller.
Use the electrical knockouts provided at the
bottom of the enclosure. Do not make ad-
ditional holes in the enclosure, particularly
on the side of the enclosure when using a
computer communications module.
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.
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.

EXPERT 64+, rev.12
EXPERT 64+
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 electrical 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
extended 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
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 Log”
menu. Refer to section 4.8 for further infor-
mation 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.

4.5.3. ProbeAssignment
PrincipleofOperation:This section explain how
to select temperature probes that are used to
measure the room temperature and how to assign
temperature probes that are used to control/
monitor the outputs of the controller.
HouseTemperature: Most cooling outputs of
the controller operate according to the aver-
age temperature in the room. The user must
choose what temperature probes are used to
measure this room temperature.
TunnelFans(TunnelProbeSet): The selec-
tion of probes that is used to measure the
room temperature can be changed in tunnel
ventilation to compensate for changes in
airflow patterns that can distort the room
temperature. If the second probe set is
enabled in the Installation Setup (sec. 4.4),
you must assign temperature probes to this
second probe set.
HeatingOutputs: Each regular heating out-
put and each Hi Fire heating output operates
according to the average temperature of its
assigned probes.
EmptyZones:A heating output that exclu-
sively uses probes that are not assigned to
the average room temperature is automati-
cally considered as being in an empty zone
(sec. 4.9).
CoolingOutputs: In sidewall ventilation, cool-
ing outputs operate according to the average
house temperature; in tunnel ventilation, they
operate according to the average temperature
measured by user-defined probes.
Attic Vent: The controller automatically in-
creases the “On Time” portion of the minimum
ventilation timer as the attic temperature de-
parts from its set point. Refer to section 6.4.3
for further information about this feature.
MainBreaker:A probe can be used to moni-
tor the temperature of the main breaker so
that the controller can sound an alarm if the
breaker’s temperature gets too high. Note
that the breaker’s probe selection is common
to all programs.

4.6. RelativeHumidity(RH)
Control
The controller offers different ways to com-
pensate for high and low relative humidity
(RH) levels in the barn. This section shows
how to enable the desired RH compensation
functions.
1. RH Compensation on the Min Ventila-
tion Run Time: The humidity level can be
decreased by increasing the fans’ running
time (On Time) within the minimum ventila-
tion cycles. The fans’ running time increases
gradually as the house’s humidity level
exceeds the humidity set point. The entire
compensated running time is reached when
the humidity level exceeds the RH set point
by 10%.

2. RHCompensation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.

4.7. RelayAssignment
4.7.1. PrincipleofOperation
RelayPanels:The controller can activate up
to 64 On/Off relays; these relays are located
in external relay boxes. Up to two RP-32 relay
panels can be connected to the controller. Refer
to the wiring diagram enclosed with this manual
to connect relay panels to the controller.
VentDoor&TunnelCurtainRelays:Relays
13-14, 15-16, 29-30 and 31-32 the relay
panels have specially been designed to open/
close the vent doors and the tunnel curtain.
It is strongly recommend using these relays
for this specific purpose: this prevents acti-
vating both the OPEN and CLOSE relays, by
inadvertence, at the same time.
Fan&TunnelFanRelays:
•Timer-basedrelays:Fan groups and tunnel
fan groups can activate relays that operate
in timer mode. These relays allow activating
cooling devices such as mist units while a
specific fan/tunnel fan group is running. Se-
lect “TMR” on a relay to use this function.
•Open/closerelays:Relays can be used to
slightly open an air inlet at the start-up of a
fan/tunnel group and to close it when the
fan/tunnel fan group returns to a stop. The
inlet opens only once at the start-up of the
chosen fan/tunnel fan group and closes only
once when the group is disabled. The inlet’s
running time corresponds to the timer-based
relay’s On Time. Select “OPN” to assign an
opening relay or “CLO” to assign a closing
relay on a fan/tunnel fan group.
