ROTEM's products are designed and manufactured to provide reliable operation. Strict tests and quality control
procedures are applied to every product. However, the possibility that something may fail beyond our control exists.
Since these products are designed to operate climate control and other systems in confined livestock environments, where
failure may cause severe damage, the user should provide adequate backup and alarm systems. These are to operate
critical systems even in case of a ROTEM system failure. Neglecting to provide such a backup will be regarded as the
user’s willingness to accept the risk of loss, injury and financial damage.
In no event will ROTEM be liable to a user or any third party for any direct, indirect, special, consequential or incidental
damages, including but not limited to any damage or injury to business earnings, lost profits or goodwill, personal injury,

0. GENERAL
0.1 Introduction
Standard Mode
Computerized Electronic Controllers such as the Platinum Plus advance the Producer’s ability to
grow high quality poultry by accurately controlling the environment. Instead of struggling with
individual thermostats for heat zones and ventilation, the Platinum Plus brings it all together into
one convenient place … with great accuracy.
Simplicity and Ease of Use are important benefits of Standard Mode. Every grower will
understand the operation where each fan and heater has its own on and off temperature. The
light and feed clocks are easy to understand and apply. In standard mode, the Platinum Plus
provides simple alternate methods to help producers who find the more advanced Cool Pad
methods too difficult.
The Platinum Plus provides a variety of Management and History utilities. You can choose from
simple overviews, or if you wish, fully detailed by the minute records of minimum, maximum and
average temperatures for each individual sensor. The unique Table of Events is one of the most
liked Histories in the Platinum Plus. It records the moment of every significant action taken by the
Platinum Plus and, optionally, its operator.
Communication software is available to customers who wish to access their Platinum Plus
controllers from their home or personal computers at ROTEM’s website, www.rotem.com.
ROTEM provides technical support on the website, as well as through the large dealer and agent
network.
This volume describes the Standard Mode operation of the Platinum Plus. For greater
performance, you can opt to use the more advanced Precision Mode, which you will find in the
next volume.
