INTRODUCTION1.
Precautions1.1.
WARNING: Read and save these in-
structions!
Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment
is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer. Carefully read and keep the
following instructions for future reference.
We strongly recommend installing supple-
mentary ventilation as well as a backup
thermostat on at least one fan stage (refer to
the wiring diagram enclosed with this user's
manual to connect the thermostat).
Although fuses at the input and outputs of
the controller protect its circuits in case of
an overload or over-voltage, we recommend
installing an additional protection device on
the controller’s supply circuit.
The room temperature where the controller
is located must always remain between 32°F
and 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Indoor use only!
To avoid exposing the controller to harmful
gases or excessive humidity, it is preferable
to install it in a corridor.
If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not spray water on the controller! In
order to clean the control, wipe it with a
damp cloth.
The controller should be opened and inspected
once a year for moisture. Proper care will ex-
tend the life of the control.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock the
switch disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.

FEATURES2.
The SUPERCOOL-1000 is an electronic device
used to control the humidity level and room
temperature in livestock buildings. It allows
the user to cool the building and maintain a
specified humidity level by operating venti-
lation and mist cooling equipment. It can
control one mist cooling zone and three fan
stages. The main features of the SUPER-
COOL-1000 are as follows:
Large LCD Display — The large LCD display
gives the current readings and displays the
parameters. Refer to the next section of this
manual for further information about the pa-
rameters that are shown on this display.
P i lot Li ghts — Pilot lights indicating the state
of outputs allow the user to monitor the
operation of the system without having to
enter the building.
Removable Connectors — The inputs' con-
nection is now made easier by removing the
connectors from the main board.
Manual Control — The mist cooling valve
and pump can be manually activated using a
switch located on the side of the controller.
Dust Control Cycle — When mist units are
not required for reducing room temperature,
they can be operated either continuously or
intermittently to reduce the level of dust in
the room.
Humidity Compensation — Operating times
for mist timers can be automatically adjusted
as a function of humidity levels in the build-
ing.
Probe Inputs — Up to 6 temperature probes,
1 outside temperature probe and 3 humidity
sensors can be connected to the controller
in order to obtain a more accurate reading of
the average room temperature and humidity
level.
Probe Readings Recorded For Past Days —
Minimum and maximum readings from tem-
perature and humidity probes are recorded for
the current day and the past six days.
Monitoring Of Water Consumption — A
pulse input is available to monitor daily wa-
ter consumption for the current day and the
past six days.
Maintenance Reminder Function — A mes-
sage reminding the user to perform pump
maintenance can be signalled after the pump
has been in operation for a specified time.
Alarm Management — Alarms are provided
for defective probes and other system func-
tions. Alarm states are kept in memory until
acknowledged even if an alarm situation has
been rectified.
Password Protection — A password feature
can be enabled to restrict access to the con-
troller setup functions.
Backup Battery — A backup battery allows
the unit to keep time in case of a power
failure.
Overload And Overvoltage Protection — Re-
settable fuses are provided at low-voltage
inputs and outputs of the controller to pro-
tect its circuitry in the case of an overload
or overvoltage.
Computer Control — The controller can be
connected to a computer, thus making it
possible to centralize the management of
information and diversify control strategies.
Test Mode — A test mode allows you to
simulate temperature changes and verify
controller performance.

INSTALLATION4.
4.1. Mounting Instructions
Open the latch and lift the cover. Remove
the black caps located on each of the four
mounting holes. Mount the enclosure on
the wall using four screws. Be sure the
electrical knockouts are at the bottom of
the enclosure in order to prevent water from
entering the controller. Insert the screws in
the mounting holes and tighten. Fasten the
four black caps provided with the controller
onto the four mounting holes. The enclosure
must be mounted in a location that will allow
the cover to be completely opened right up
against the wall.
4.2. Connections
Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with
this user's manual to connect the controller.
Use the electrical knockouts provided at the
bottom of the enclosure. Do not make ad-
ditional holes in the enclosure, particularly
on the side of the enclosure when using a
computer communication module.
All wiring must be done by an autho-
rized electrician and must comply with
applicable codes, laws and regulations.
Be sure power is off before doing any
wiring to avoid electrical shocks and
equipment damage.
Do not install rigid conduit into electrical
knockouts. Only nylon cable glands are
permitted for cable or wire fastening.
The controller has no power-on switch.
An external switch or circuit breaker
shall be included in the building instal-
lation to interrupt power to L and N
electric power lines. It shall be in close
proximity to the equipment and within
easy reach of the operator. It shall be
marked as the disconnecting device for
the equipment.
Note that the input terminals can be
taken off from the main board to make
the connections easier.
4.2.1. Probe Inputs
Probes operate at low voltage and are isolated
from the supply. Make sure that probe cables
remain isolated from all high voltage sources.
In particular, do not route the probe cables
through the same electrical knockout as other
cables. Do not connect the shield from the
probe cable to a terminal or a ground.
Extending a probe: Each probe can be ex-
tended up to 500 feet (150 meters).
To extend a probe: Use a shielded cable of
outside diameter between 0.245 and 0.260
in (6.22 and 6.60 mm) (the cable dimensions
should not be under 18 AWG) to ensure the
cable entry is liquid tight. Do not ground
the shielding.
It is preferable to solder the cable joint to
ensure a proper contact between the two
cables.
Do not run probe cables next to other
power cables. When crossing over other
cables, cross at 90°.
4.2.2. Alarm Connection
There are two types of alarms on the market.
One type activates when current is cut off at
its input, whereas the other activates when
current is supplied at its input. For an alarm
of the first type, use the NC terminal as
shown on the wiring diagram. For an alarm
of the second type, use the NO terminal.

8. FAN GROUPS
Principle of Operation8.1.
The controller can control three groups (or
stages) of On/Off fans. The activation of these
fans can either be based on room tempera-
ture or on the relative humidity level in the
building.
• Fan Groups Based on the Humidity Level —
The fan groups are activated or deactivated
as a function of the humidity level. They can
either run when the humidity level gets too
low or when it gets too high. To use the fan
groups on low humidity conditions, set the
Start % to a lower value than the Stop %;
to use the fans on high humidity conditions,
do the opposite.
Each fan group refers to the average humidity
reading of its respective humidity sensors.
Refer to the Installation menu to assign these
sensors.
Critical & Minimum Temperatures:
As a protection, a high and a low temperature
limits can be defined to activate or deactivate
all fan outputs in case the room temperature
gets out of range. This protection feature
does not take into account the humidity level
in the room.

• Fan Groups Based on the Room Tempera-
ture — The fan groups are activated or de-
activated as a function of temperature. Each
fan group refers to the average temperature
reading of its respective humidity sensors: it
starts running when the temperature reaches
the Start T° and stop when the temperature
falls to the Stop temperature. Refer to the
Installation menu to assign temperature sen-
sors to the fan groups.
The start temperatures are defined with re-
spect to each other. This means that when
one of these values is adjusted, the start
temperatures of all consecutive fan groups
are adjusted by the same amount.

9. MIST
Principle of Operation9.1.
The controller has one output for mist cool-
ing. This output is activated using a timer
(time on/time off). During the ON time, the
main valve on the mist output opens and the
pump is started. During the OFF time, the
pump is turned off, the mist valve is closed
and the drain valve is opened during a short
delay to drain the water remaining in the
supply lines. This prevents the nozzles from
dripping. The figure on the following page
shows a typical application.
9.2. Mist Timers
The mist output has 4 separate timers: the
timer selection is based on the average tem-
perature reading from probes assigned to
the output, as shown in the following graph
(refer to the User setup chapter to perform
probe assignments).

feature.

9.4. Humidity Compensation
The timer's running time value can be au-
tomatically adjusted based on the humidity
level in the building. Refer to the User Setup
chapter to enable this feature.
Principle of Operation9.4.1.
Dry Weather Compensation:
When the humidity level is low, the timer's
stop time values are decreased to increase
the frequency of mist cycles.
The user specifies a percentage decrease to
apply to the time off value during mist cycles.
This decrease is spread over a humidity inter-
val defined by the user. The following graph
illustrates this:
Note: The compensated time off cannot be
less than 15 seconds. If the compensation
requires that the time off value be less than
15 seconds, time off is set to 0 seconds and
the mist units operate continuously.
Wet Weather Compensation:
When the humidity level exceeds the high
humidity compensation set point, the timer's
running time value is decreased. This de-
creases the duration of misting while main-
taining the frequency of the mist cycles.
The user specifies a percentage decrease to
apply to the running time (On Time) value
during mist cycles. This decrease is spread
over a humidity interval defined by the user.
The following graph illustrates this:
Note: The compensated time on value cannot
be less than 5 seconds. If the compensation
requires that the On Time value be less than
5 seconds, the On Time is set to 0 seconds
and the mist units come to a stop.
