3.1 Temperature Curve
This screen sets the temperature targets according to the bird age.
1. In System > Sensors > Analog, designate the required number of sensors as temperature sensors.
When using more than one sensor, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch begins treatments based on
the average.
2. In System > Temperature Definition, assign specific sensors to devices. If a zone does not have
an assigned sensors, calculations are based on the current average temperature.
3. In Control > Temperature Curve, define the required target temperature curve.
oSet up to 20 lines, 999 growth days. When a curve is not required (for example when
growing layers), enter temperatures in the first line only.
oDefine:
•Day: Set the growth day. You can program negative growth days up to -2 for pre-
warming.
•Target: Set the desired temperature.
•Heat Off: Set the temperature at which heating ceases.
•Low and High Alarm: Set temperature alarm limits.
•Tunnel: Set the temperature at which tunnel ventilation begins.
4. In Management > Alarm Settings, set the alarms.
5. If required, click and set the parameters.

3.1.1 TEMPERATURE CURVE HELP |SET DEFINITIONS
•Define:
oTemperature Curve Offset: Adjusts all temperature curves by this amount. You can use
this to temporarily adjust all temperatures up or down for special circumstances. The
curve appears in the Curve Status Hot Screen. Use the ENTER and Up or ENTER and
Down combinations to change the offset.
oSet Temperature Change Reminder (Diff): Sets the change in set temperature that
triggers a reminder for you to set backup thermostats. Often producers forget to set
backup thermostats as their birds grow from baby chicks to market age, so the Platinum
Touch/Rotem One Touch reminds you. When you press Enter to acknowledge the
reminder, the Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch logs it in the Table of Events.
oTarget Temperature Band: The size of the target temperature zone. This "Happy Zone”
is between Target Temperature and (Target Temperature + Band).
oHeater Temperature Band: Heaters turn on at ‘Band’ degrees below Heat, and turn off
at the Heat Temperature.
NOTE Heaters operate at minimum level only; however, Radiant Heaters can operate at any
temperature or level below Tunnel.
oCool Down Factor (%): Minimum percentage correction towards target during each
increase ventilation level delay. If average temperature does not decrease by this
amount, the Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch increases ventilation by one level.
oCool Down Fast Response (Deg.): Set a limit to the maximum degrees per minute of
cooling. If Average Temperature drops more than this in one minute, Platinum
Touch/Rotem One Touch decreases ventilation one level to avoid overshooting.
NOTE Avoid making this parameter too small or the normal temperature variation caused by timer
fans reduces the ventilation level.
oMinimum Ventilation Below Heat Temp: Tells controller to go directly to minimum level
in some cases. Select from the following choices:
•None: Operate by the normal level decrease time delay rule.
•Zone: Go directly to minimum level if any active temperature sensor reaches heat
temperature.
•Avg.: Go directly to minimum level if the average temperature reaches heat
temperature.

© Munters AB, 2018 16
oNon Brood Area Diff. From Heat: Set differential temperature for non-brood
heaters. You normally use this to set temperatures in unoccupied areas (poultry modes
only).
NOTE When set at -99°F the heaters are effectively disabled, since it will probably never go to 99º F
below the heater temperature. Putting this parameter at 0º sets the non-brood areas to the
heater temperature.
3.1.2 CYCLE HEATERS HELP |SET DEFINITIONS
Heat Cycle means providing heat in conjunction with the ventilation system during minimum ventilation
cycles, using heaters and fans connected to relays. When enabled, heaters operate during the fans’
cycle off time (as defined in the Cycle Heaters Help | Set Definitions parameters). How does it work?
Between the Heat Temperature and the differential temperature, heaters do not operate. When the
temperature goes below the Heat Off temperature minus the Low Heat Differential:
•Heaters begin to operate when the exhaust or tunnel fans are off. Heaters operate for the
Minimum On Time.
•If the temperature continues to drop, heaters operate for longer periods of time, up to the
Maximum On Time (defined in Levels of Ventilation).
•Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch automatically generates a curve.
In this example:
•Temperature Curve Heat Off is 78°.
•Low Heat Differential is 1°.
•High Heat Differential is 8°.
•Minimum On time is 30 seconds.
•Cycle Off time is 270 seconds.

© Munters AB, 2018 17
1. Define the required number of heater and exhaust and/or tunnel relays (Relay Layout, page 94).
2. In Control > Control Mode, set the Heater Cycle to Yes.
3. In Control > Temperature Curve > Help, scroll to Cycle Heater.
4. Define:
oLow Heat Differential: The differential below the Heat Off temperature, at which heating
begins and runs for the minimum amount of time.
oHigh Heat Differential: The differential below the Heat Off temperature, at which heating
runs for the maximum amount of time.
oMinimum ON Time: Minimum heating time when the exhaust or tunnel fans are off.
3.1.3 RADIANT HEATERS HELP |SET DEFINITIONS
To configure the radiant heaters:
1. In System > Relay Layout define at least one relay as a radiant heater.
2. Define:
oRadiant Low – Differential from Heat Set: Set degree of difference from Heat for LOW
Radiant Heaters to begin working. This differential can be positive or negative. (default:
2.0)
oRadiant High – Differential (Below Low Set): Set number of degrees below Radiant
Low Heaters for HIGH Radiant Heaters to begin working (default: 1.0). To ensure
proper heater ignition, Radiant High Heaters remain on for the Radiant Ignition Time
along with the Radiant Low Heaters.

© Munters AB, 2018 18
oRadiant Ignition Time (sec): Set number of seconds to power radiant ignition (default:
30).
NOTE The Heater Temperature Band applies to radiant heaters as well. For example, if the Heat
Temperature is 80º F and the Heater Temperature Band is 1º F, then heaters turn on at 79º F
and off at 80º F. If the Radiant Low Differential is at 2.0º F, than radiant heaters turn off at
82º F, and on 1º F below that at 81º F. However, a Radiant High Heater turns on regardless
of its temperature setting for the Radiant Ignition Time whenever the corresponding Radiant
Low Heater turns on. This feature ensures proper flame ignition.
Figure 3: Radiant Heater Differentials
3.1.4 VARIABLE HEATER HELP |SET DEFINITIONS
The Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch enables configuring up to eight variable heaters. The output of the
heaters changes as the temperature increases or decreases.
Install at least one analog output card.
To configure the variable heaters:
1. In System > Analog Output configure:
a. up to eight analog outputs as variable heaters.
b. the minimum and maximum voltage output for each heater.
2. In Control > Control Mode, define the Analog Heat Mode:
oLinear Heat
oProportional Heat
oLinear Valve
3. In Control > Temperature Curve, click and scroll to Variable Heater.

© Munters AB, 2018 19
4. Define the parameters as required.
3.1.4.1 Linear Heat
When Linear Mode is enabled:
•Between the Heat Temperature and the Target temperature, heaters do not operate (meaning,
the output voltage is 0).
•Between the Heat Temperature and the Low Difference Below Heat, heaters operate at the
minimum voltage output.
•If the temperature continues to drop, the voltage output increases until it reaches the maximum
voltage output at the High Difference below Heat.
In this example:
•Target Temperature is 80°
•Temperature Curve Heat Off is 78°.
•Low Heat Differential is 1°.
•High Heat Differential is 8°.
oIf the temperature is between 77° to 78°, the output voltage is the minimum voltage
defined in Installation > Analog Output (1 volt in this example).
oIf the temperature continues to drop, the output voltage increases until it reaches the
maximum voltage defined in Installation > Analog Output. Output increases or
decreases to keep the temperature within the Target Temperature and Heat Off band.

•Define:
oLow Difference Below Heat: Temperature difference between the Heat Off parameter
at which the variable heater begins to function.
oHigh Difference Below Heat: Temperature at which the heater begins to operate at
maximum output.

•When the temperature falls below the user-defined point, the heaters begin operating at their
minimum output.
•After the response time passes, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch checks the temperature. If it
is still below the defined point, Platinum Touch/Rotem One Touch increases the voltage by a
certain amount (this amount of the increase cannot be changed).
•After the response time passes, the process is repeated until heaters operate at their maximum
output.
•Define the parameters.
oDifference Above Heat to Stop Heater: Differential from target temperature at which
the heater runs at minimal input.
oHigh Difference Below Heat: High Difference Below Heat: Temperature at which the
heater begins to operate at maximum output.
oResponse Time (seconds): Amount of time before the controller begins to change the
ventilation.
3.1.4.3 Linear Valve
Linear Valve enables defining that variable heater input voltage is always equal to or above the minimum
input defined in Installation > Analog Sensors.
When the Analog Heat Mode is defined as having Linear Valve control, there is always a minimal
voltage input. Therefore, if the minimum voltage is 1 volts:
•The voltage range is from 1 to 10 volts
othis corresponds to 10% at 1V and 100% at 10V
ointerpolation inside the band
•There is 0% voltage when the target temperature is reached.

•Define:
oDifference Above Heat to Stop Heater: Differential from target temperature at which
the heater runs at minimal input
oHigh Difference Below Heat: High Difference Below Heat: Temperature at which the
heater begins to operate at maximum output.
