1. INTRODUCTION
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 manu-
facturer. 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
switch disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
1.2. Symbols of the Manual
Warning. Read the following text
carefully; it contains important
information which, if ignored, may
cause the controller to operate
improperly.
High Voltage. Hazard of electrical
shock. Read the message and follow
the instructions carefully.
Pay attention. The following text
contains very useful information.
Press on the proper menu selector.
Press the “Main Menu” push-button.
Both direct and alternating current
(AC/DC).
Direct current (DC).
Alternating current (AC).
Earth Ground Terminal
Primarily used for functional earth
terminals which are generally asso-
ciated with test and measurement
circuits. These terminals are not
for safety earthing purposes but
provide an earth reference point.
For Customer Use: Enter below the serial
number located on the side of the alarm
system and keep this information for future
reference.

1.4. Main Features
Very Large LCD Display
A large LCD screen provides an efficient inter-
face for displaying, monitoring and adjusting
the parameters.
3 Controller Programs
The controller allows using 3 different pro-
grams to control the room temperature. It is
thus possible to activate a specific program,
that uses particular temperature settings,
in accordance with the animal age for in-
stance.
Status LEDs
Pilot lights that indicate the status of the
controller outputs are located on the faceplate
of the controller. These LEDs allow monitor-
ing the system’s operation without having to
enter the building.
Minimum Ventilation Cycle
When ventilation is not required to reduce
the room temperature, fan outputs can run
either continuously or intermittently to re-
duce humidity levels and supply oxygen to
the room.
8 Indoor Temperature Sensors
Up to eight temperature sensors can be con-
nected to the controller to obtain an accurate
reading of the average room temperature and
a faster reaction time.
Natural Ventilation Curtains
The controller can open 2 natural ventilation
curtains and stop all ventilation when the
outside temperature is sufficiently warm.
Tunnel Ventilation
When the room temperature rises, tunnel
ventilation reduces the actual temperature
perceived by the animals.
Humidity Control
The inside and outside relative humidity
sensors allow controlling humidity levels in
the room.
0-10V Output
The controller has 2 internal 0-10V outputs.
The first 0-10V output can either be used
to control an air inlet or variable-speed fans
and the second output can control lighting
equipment.
Control Of The Air Inlet Movement
The movement of vent doors (inlets) can be
coordinated with the operation of the fans
using a potentiometer located on the panel
drive or a timer. This allows the vent doors
(inlets) to be adjusted correctly, without the
influence of uncontrollable factors such as
wind or air from adjoining rooms
History Menus
History menus allow monitoring the sensor
readings and verify the run time of some out-
puts. The controller comes with the following
histories menus:
• Minimum & maximum sensor readings:
Ambient temperature ...............60 days
Inside temperature sensors ...... 10 days
Outside temperature sensor .....75 days
Inside humidity sensor .............75 days
Outside humidity sensor .......... 75 days
Static pressure sensor .............75 days
• Run time of each heater .......... 75 days
• Run time of each feeder ........... 75 days
• Daily water consumption ......... 75 days
Alarm Management
The controller provides alarms for high-low
temperatures, defective sensors and other
system failures. It keeps in memory the 20
most recent alarm conditions.
Password Protection
A password can be enabled to restrict access
to the setup functions of the controller.
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 of the controller to protect its circuitry
in the case of an overload or overvoltage.
Computer Control
The controller can be connected to a com-
puter, thus making it possible to centralize
the management of information and diversify
control strategies.
Test Mode
A test mode allows you to simulate tem-
perature changes and verify controller per-
formances.
2. MOUNTING INSTRUC-
TIONS
2.1. Installing the Controller
on the Wall
Fasten the two metal brackets on the mount-
ing holes located behind the controller using
six screws. Then, mount the enclosure on
the wall using four other screws. Leave a
clearance of at least 16” to the left of the
enclosure to allow the cover to be removed
for maintenance.
2.2. Connections
2.2.1. Main Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
user’s manual to connect the controller. Drill
holes at the bottom of the enclosure to pass
the wires and install watertight connectors to
prevent water from entering in the enclosure.
Do not make any holes at the side and top of
the enclosure.
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.

EXPERT WW rev.12

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.
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 ex-
tended 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. De-
fective sensors are identified in the “Alarm
Log” menu. Refer to chapter 11 for further
information 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 heat mats
or fans.

assignment, etc.) that can be enabled at dif-
ferent moment of the breeding process. In all,
the controller can use 3 different programs.
Automatic program selection:
The controller can automatically switch the
program selection when the animals reach a
certain age and/or as a function of outside
temperature. Refer to the Installation Setup
section of this manual to enable or disable the
automatic program switch (see section 4.5).
Refer to the Installation Setup section of
this manual to set the number of pro-
grams in use and to enable or disable the
automatic program switch (section 4.5).
4.3.1. Program Selection & Settings

program selection when the animals reach a
certain age and/or as a function of outside
temperature. If the automatic program switch
option is enabled in the Installation setup (sec.
