GENERAL
Introduction
Precision Mode
Computerized Electronic Controllers such as the Platinum 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 brings it all together
into one convenient place … with great accuracy. In Precision Mode, the Platinum
optimizes and precisely applies your equipment and energy sources to most benefit from
the accuracy of your computer and sensors.
Where Simplicity and Ease of Use are important benefits of Standard Mode, Features
and Precise Application characterize Precision Mode. The Platinum coordinates your
ventilation equipment in precise levels of ventilation to provide the optimal fresh air
balanced with heating costs. The light and feed clocks provide additional channels for
greater capability. Besides advanced Cool Pad methods, you benefit from superior stir fan
programs to recover ceiling heat and many other features. For the additional effort required
in Precision Mode, you can significantly improve your profitability.
The Platinum 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. It records the moment of every
significant action taken by the Platinum and, optionally, its operator.
Communication software is available to customers who wish to access their Platinum
controllers from their home or personal computers at ROTEM’s website, Uwww.rotem.comU.
ROTEM provides technical support on the website, as well as through the large dealer and
agent network.
This volume describes the Precision Mode operation of the Platinum. For greater Simplicity
and Ease of Use, you can opt to use the Standard Mode, which you will find in the previous
volume.

Precision Ventilation - A Quick Look
ROTEM’s Precision Ventilation works by giving the Platinum many finely spaced levels of
ventilation to choose from. This allows it to find the right ventilation for the conditions. A
typical change in ventilation from one level to the next in Precision Mode is 20%, compared
to as much 1,000% in Standard Mode (for example, when the Minimum Ventilation Timer
setting is 30 Seconds On, 270 Seconds Off).
Consider the following simplified Ventilation Levels example:
Ventilation
Level
Diff
ºF
On Time
Seconds
Off Time
Seconds
Cycle
Fans Comments
… 0 … … … Lower Levels …
5 0 60 240 1 and 2 1 Minute out of 5 on Timer Fans
6 0 75 225 1 and 2
Current Level, 25% more than
Level 5
7 0 90 210 1 and 2
1½ Minutes out of 5, 20% more
than Level 6
… … … … … … Higher Levels
The Platinum is currently at Level 6, which in this example means two cycle or timer fans
run 1¼ minutes out of 5. If required, the Platinum will move to Level 5 or Level 7 to
maintain the Target Temperature.
Note the Diff ºF column, in this example, the Differential Temperature for each level is
Zero. This means that all these levels occur at the same temperature! In Precision Mode,
the Platinum finds that level of ventilation which precisely maintains the target temperature.
How does it do this? Very well, thank you. You will need to read deeper into this volume to
get the details!
Besides maintaining more accurate and precise temperatures, Precision Mode has other
benefits. A few examples:
1. Increased Reliability - it can ‘rotate’ minimum ventilation timer fans so that all of
your fans get a turn.
2. Save Fuel while Ventilating Better - it can automatically decrease ventilation as
fuel use increases, and increase ventilation whenever outside temperatures allow
economical use of free air. See the ‘Soft Min Vent’ section.
3. Recapture Free Heat - it has features to bring otherwise lost heat back to the birds
where it benefits them. See the ‘Stir Fans’ sections.
This volume describes the features and benefits of Precision Mode in the following pages.
Remember that additional Technical Help is always available at Uwww.rotem.comUand
through ROTEM’s network of dealers and field representatives.

HELP | SET Definitions:
•UTemperature Curve OffsetU:Adjusts all temperature curves by this amount. You can
use this to temporarily adjust all temperatures up or down for special circumstances. It
will show in the UStatus WindowU, and you can use the UENTER and UpUor UENTER and
DownUhot key combinations to change the offset.
•USet Temp. Change Reminder (Diff)U: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
reminds you. When you press Enter to acknowledge the reminder, the Platinum logs it
in the Table of Events.
•UTarget Temp. BandU:The size of the target temperature zone. This "Happy Zone” is
between Target Temperature and (Target Temperature + Band).
UHeater Temp. BandU: Heaters turn on at ‘Band’ degrees below Heat, and turn off at the
Heat Temperature.
NOTE: Heaters operate at Min level only; however, Radiant Heaters can operate at any
temperature or level below Tunnel.
•UCool Down Factor (%)U:Minimum percentage correction towards target during each
increase Uventilation level delayU. If average temperature does not improve by this
amount, the Platinum will increase ventilation by one level.
•UCool Down Fast Response (Deg.)U:Set a limit to the maximum degrees per minute of
cooling. If Average Temperature drops more than this in one minute, the Platinum
decreases ventilation one level to avoid overshooting. Avoid making this parameter too
small or the normal temperature variation caused by timer fans will reduce the
ventilation level.
•UMin Vent Below Heat Temp ByU:Tells controller to go directly to Min Level in some
cases.
Select from the following choices:
oNone: Operate by the normal level decrease time delay rule.
oZone: Go directly to Min level if any active temperature sensor reaches heat temp.
oAvg.: Go directly to Min level if the average temp reaches heat temp.
•UNon Brood Area Diff. From HeatU:Set differential temperature for non-brood heaters.
You normally use this to set temperatures in unoccupied areas.
NOTE: When set at -99 ° F the heaters are effectively disabled, since it will probably
never go to 99 ºF below the heater temperature. Putting this at 0º sets the non-brood
areas to the heater temperature.

RADIANT HEATERS HELP |SET
Note: You need at least one radiant heater
assigned to a relay to see these parameters.
Radiant Heaters HELP | SET Definitions:
•URadiant Low – Differential from Heat Set:U
Set degree of difference from Heat for LOW
Radiant Heaters to begin working. This
differential can be positive or negative. (Default: 2.0)
•URadiant High – Differential (Below Low Set):USet number of degrees below Radiant
Low Heaters for HIGH Radiant Heaters to begin working. (Default: 1.0). However, the
Radiant High heaters turn on for the Radiant Ignition Time with the Radiant Low
Heaters to ensure proper heater ignition.
•URadiant Ignition Time (sec):USet number of seconds to power radiant ignition.
(Default: 30).
Note: The Heater Temp. Band applies to radiant heaters as well. For example, if the
Heat Temperature is 80ºF and the Heater Temperature Band is 1ºF, then heaters turn
on at 79ºF and off at 80ºF. If the Radiant Low Differential is at 2.0ºF, then radiant
heaters turn off at 82ºF, and on 1ºF below that at 81ºF. 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.

1.3 Min/Max Level
IMPORTANT: Before setting Min/Max level, go through and set up the Device Settings,
especially the Uventilation levelsU. Once you have entered the ventilation levels, use the
Min/Max to select the range of levels to apply to your situation. Typically you increase the
minimum ventilation level as litter conditions deteriorate and the birds require greater
amounts of fresh air. You may also restrict the maximum level to prevent excess air flow
on young birds.
There are three methods for setting Min/Max levels: Day, Time, and Soft Min.
Go to UCONTROL | Control ModeUto select one of the methods.
MIN/MAX LEVEL (DAY)
•UDayU:Set growth day.
•UMinU: Set minimum ventilation level for

•UTemp Choice for Soft MinU:Select inside/outside/attic temperature to control Minimum
Level changes. The minimum level adjusts towards the Soft Min as this temperature
falls. Above the heat temperature, the minimum level will be at the Min setting.
As temperature rises, INSIDE and ATTIC stay at lowest ventilation level reached until
average temperature gets to the heat setting, and then changes instantly. With the
OUTSIDE selection, the minimum ventilation level increases gradually as temperature
rises to the heat setting. This means inside and attic soft min vent choices to latch to the
lowest level reached as long as the temperature remains below the heat setting.
