2Precautions
•Grounding
•Checking the Battery Level
•Filtering
•Frequency Inverters
2.1 Grounding
•Always connect temperature and sensor shields to earth ground. Avoid mixing high voltage
wiring with sensor and low voltage wiring.
•Keep the controller as far as possible from heavy contactor boxes and other sources of
electrical interference.
•Do not connect communication wire shields, which go from one house to another at both ends.
Connect them at one end only. Connection at both ends can cause ground loop currents to
flow, which reduce reliability.
•The COM connection for communications is not the shield wire. The COM, RX and TX wires
must connect to each other at all controllers.
2.2 Checking the Battery Level
Check the battery once a year. The output must be 2.7 volts (minimum). Authorized personnel only must
replace the battery if the output is below the minimum required level or every five years.
2.3 Filtering
If this installation includes a power inverter to drive variable speed fans, install an EMI filter in front of the
inverter, according to the specifications provided by the inverter manufacturer. Referto the inverter
documentation.
2.4 Frequency Inverters
Frequency inverters can cause severe electrical and electromagnetic interference. Therefore, when
employing a frequency inverter, it is critical that you carefully follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions.
In particular verify:
•that the cable shielding between the inverter and any motor meets industry standards
•proper grounding of the inverter's chassis and motor power cable
•proper grounding of low voltage cable shield wire
•that the controller and inverter cables are kept in separate conduits or wire bundles

•Farm Center Pro
•Farm Master Pro
3.2.1 FARM CENTER PRO
Farm Center Pro provides you maximum capability with minimal complexity in programming and
controlling up to 10 Farm Master Pro units.
Farm Center Pro is the ultimate pig house controller. Equipped with an easy programming interface, it
provides programmable outputs for all major features and an advanced graphic user interface that
provides simple, fast navigation, informative main screen, display feedback on the programming and
device status.
The Farm Center Pro communicates with up to ten Farm Master Pro units to access history, collect events
and alarms for each and all relevant data up to 100 days.
3.2.2 FARM MASTER PRO
Farm Master Pro is Munters’s latest advance in environmental controllers specially designed for the pig
house industry.
The user-friendly has high performance and quick response time. Farm Master Pro features accurate
temperature and humidity sensors, secure transmission of data even in noisy environments and the added
convenience of eight output relays as well as four analog outputs.

© Munters AB, 2015 9
Each Farm Master Pro can operate independently in case of Farm Center Pro malfunction or loss of
power. Using an internal battery when the Farm Master Pro is operating “alone”, there is no history
collection or possibility to change parameters.
There are three Farm Master Pro models:
•
5020
: No variable speed
•
5021
: One channel variable speed
•
5022
: Two channels variable speed
