PRECAUTIONS We strongly recommend installing supplementary natural ventilation, a failure alarm system as well as a back-up ther- mostat on at least one cooling stage (refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this user's manual to connect the ther- mostat). Although fuses at the input and outputs of the controller protect its circuits in case of an overload or overvoltage, we recommend installing an additional protection device on the...
FEATURES The ST 5110 is an electronic device used for environmental control in live- stock buildings. It allows the user to maintain a specified target tempera- ture by controlling the operation of ventilation and heating equipment. One stage of variable speed cooling fans can be connected to the controller, as well as one stage of either constant-speed fans or heating units.

CONTROL OF AIR INLET MOVEMENT If the ST 5110 is used in combination with a SB 2000 controller, the move- ment of the air inlets can be coordinated with the operation of the fans using a potentiometer located on the curtain machine or baffle actuator.
ST 5110 CONTROLLER STATUS LEDS INTERNAL SWITCHES The internal switches are located on the inside of the front cover. When the controller is shipped from the factory, all the switches are set to OFF. QM 1329.rev.00...
INSTALLATION OUNTING 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.
ST 5110 OTOR TYPES The relationship between the voltage supplied to a motor and its operating speed is described by a motor curve. This curve varies with the make and capacity of the motor. The various motors available in the industry have been divided into five categories and the controller has been programmed with a different motor curve for each of these categories.
ST 5110 EATING / COOLING OPTION Stage 2 can operate as a heating or cooling stage. Set switch # 3 to OFF to use stage 2 for cooling. Set switch # 3 to ON to use Stage 2 for heating.

ST 5110 It is preferable to solder the cable joint to ensure a proper contact between the two cables. CAUTION: Do not run probe cables next to other power cables. When crossing over other cables, cross at 90°. Defective Probes If a defective probe is detected, the Defective Probe Pilot Light turns on.
CHANGING THE PARAMETER SETTINGS HE MEANING OF A FLASHING DISPLAY The display will flash in cer- tain cases and not in others. The flashing indicates that the value shown can be adjusted. A value that is not flashing cannot be adjusted. OCKING THE PARAMETER SETTINGS The parameter settings can be locked to prevent accidentally modifying them.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS EMPERATURE UNITS Temperatures can be displayed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit units Set internal switch # 2 to the desired position: • ON to display temperatures in Celsius units. • OFF to display temperatures in Fahrenheit units. IEWING TEMPERATURES The readout can display values from - 40.0 F to 120...

ST 5110 Turn the adjustment knob clockwise by one notch. The minimum temperature is displayed, alternating with the letters "Lo". Turn the adjustment knob clockwise one notch further. The maxi- mum temperature is displayed, alternating with the letters "Hi". Turn the adjustment knob clockwise a third notch. The room tem- perature is displayed again.
ST 5110 EMPERATURE SET POINT The temperature set point is the target room temperature. It can be adjusted between -40.0°F and 99.9°F (-40.0°C and 37.7°C). Adjusting the Temperature Set Point Set the selection knob to SET POINT / TEMP. CURVE.The current set point flashes on the display.
ST 5110 EMPERATURE CURVE The user can define a temperature curve to adjust the set point automatically over a given time period. Temperature Days A curve is defined using six points. Each point specifies a day number and a set point for that day. Once the points of the curve are defined, the curve must be activated.
Page 19
ST 5110 Specifying the Curve Set the selection knob to SET POINT / TEMP. CURVE. The current temperature set point flashes on the display. Press the push-button. The word OFF is displayed indicating that the termperature curve is deactivated. If this is not the case, see below to deactivate the curve.

ST 5110 Activating the Temperature Curve If you have just finished specifying the points on the curve: Press the push-button once again. The word OFF flashes on the display. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise one notch. The word ON flashes on the display and the Temperature Curve Pilot Light flashes, indicat- ing that the temperature curve is now activated.

ST 5110 Viewing Current Set Point and Day Number When the temperature curve is activated, the current temperature set point and day number can be viewed at any time. The current day number can also be adjusted in order to move forward or backward on the temperature curve.
ST 5110 • Below the Set Point: the stage 1 fans stop operating continuously and operate according to the minimum ventilation cycle at minimum speed. INIMUM VENTILATION CYCLE When the room temperature is below the set point, the Stage 1 fans operate according to the minimum ventilation cycle.
