This manual has been created with the utmost care. If, however, you should discover an error, please inform
Fancom B.V..
The documentation consists of the following manuals:
•User's manual
The user's manual is intended for the end user. This manual supplies information about working with the
control computer after installation.
•Installer's manual
The installer's manual is intended for installers. This manual supplies information about connecting and
configuring the control computer.
•Operation and safety instructions
These subjects are covered in a separate manual. This manual also applies to other control computers in the
Fancom F2000-line. Always read the safety instructions and warnings carefully before using the control
computer.
Always keep this manual close to the Lumina 38.
The following symbols are used in this manual:
Tips and suggestions.
Note providing recommendations and additional information.
Warning indicating damage to the product if you do not follow procedures carefully.
Warning indicating danger to humans or animals.
Electric shock hazard. Danger to humans and animals.
Example of a practical application of the described functionality.
Calculation example.
Describes the key combinations for arriving at a particular screen.
Decimals
The control computer and this manual use a decimal point in values. For example: a weight is shown as 1.5 kg
(not as 1,5 kg).

For any questions and support, please contact the local Fancom Sales & Service Center.
Virtually all Fancom equipment can be controlled and managed from a central location. This requires the F-
Central FarmManager software package and a communication module. The screens in the control computers are
also used in F-Central FarmManager. This means you can start working immediately.

Please refer to the user's manual for an explanation of the basic principles of climate management.
This chapter describes the working of a number of specific control functions that the installer should set.
Ventilation is used to create the most pleasant climate possible in the house. Ventilation also extracts harmful
substances from the house and introduces fresh air into the house. There are two types of house ventilation.
With mechanical ventilation, fans introduce air into the house and extract air. This means that you are less
dependent on the outside conditions. Several more fans are generally used with mechanical ventilation. The fans
used with specific ventilation percentages are indicated in the combi-table page 5.
The ventilation is controlled based on the house temperature. The purpose is to control the temperature as close
as possible to a certain setpoint. Minimum ventilation is always required in the house for the supply of fresh air.
If the temperature in the house exceeds the entered setpoint, ventilation must increase. The more the house
temperature differs from the setpoint, the more the ventilation increases. The ventilation zone is the temperature
range within which the ventilation is increased from its minimum to its maximum position.
Below is an example of a ventilation graph.
Figure 1: Ventilation graph
In the combi-table enter which fans have to activate at the various ventilation percentages.
The setpoint house temperature and the minimum and maximum ventilation positions can vary during the animals'
life cycle. The ventilation graph changes too and therewith the amount of ventilation at a certain temperature.
Always complete the combi-table.

The control computer supports four types of house ventilation:
•Cross: With side ventilation the house is ventilated on the side. One side is the air inlet, the other side the air
outlet. The air flows across the house sideways. The inlet can be a minimum air inlet system or a natural
curtain. The outlet is mechanical (fan).
•Stair: With cross ventilation the house is ventilated from both sides. However, in this case the house is
divided into various sections in which ventilation comes from opposite directions.
•Ridge: With ridge ventilation the air enters the house from both sides and is exhausted via ridge ventilation.
•Length: With length ventilation the air enters the house from both sides and is exhausted via end wall
ventilation.
The control computer can control controllable fans and extra fans.
Controllable fans can be controlled by the control computer at a certain percentage. The control computer
controls the fans from, for example, 30% to 100%. This enables the control computer to increase ventilation
precisely up to the required level.
Figure 2: Example of a controllable fan controlled by the control computer
Controllable fans can be controlled by the control computer via the I/O-net or via an analog output (0–10V).
As well as the standard controllable fans, up to maximum three extra controllable fans can be controlled. The
extra controllable fans can be controlled directly (via an analog output or the I/O-net, value ‘A’ in the combi-table)
or via a relay (value ‘R’ in the combi-table).

All controllable fans are always controlled at the same percentage.
Figure 3: Example of a controllable fan with one extra controllable fan. Directly controlled by the (A) or by the
relay (R)
Extra fans can only be switched on or off via a relay. They are usually used when the controllable fans are
running at maximum or in combination with controllable fans to achieve a gradual increase in ventilation.

The control computer determines the use of air inlets, extra inlets and fans based on the combi-table. Below is an
example of a combi-table. This may differ to your own combi-table, for example, because you use a different
number of extra fans. The combi-table shows the required values at successive positions (M1 thru M10 in the
example). The relay fans will do 20.000 m3 each and the controllable part is 25.000 m3.

The combi-table also contains the ventilation capacity. This is used to determine the ventilation position if control
is based on ventilation capacity per hour per animal (m3/h/animal).
The required pressure in the combi-table is used to control the inlet based on the under pressure in the house.
See Optimisation based on pressure page 9.
The ventilation level is expressed as a percentage. Using this percentage the control computer can locate the
required level of control of the fan(s) in the combi-table.
Extra fans are shown in the combi-table as value ‘0’ (off) or ‘1’ (on).
The combi-table is sub-divided into positions (M1 thru M10 in the example). If the ventilation level is between two
positions, the control computer determines the middle point of these positions. The following rules apply:
•Controllable fans: the control computer gradually controls the ventilation position from one position to another
and also adjusts the air inlets and extra inlets.
•Extra fans: with rising ventilation the control computer will only activate the fans when the next position has
been reached. With falling ventilation the control computer will only deactivate the fans when the lower
position has been reached.
