Fully Automatic Ventilation Control - HortiMaX Go! User Manual

The controller does not check whether the entered stage settings make sense.
If the stages are not set correctly, the system may, for example,
simultaneously cool and heat your greenhouse under certain conditions. That
is why you should always check the stage settings that you have entered
carefully.

3.3 Fully automatic ventilation control

Automatic control is available for a number of components. If automatic control is
available, the stage screen will show the following icon:
The automatic ventilation program adjusts the vent position based on the ambient
temperature. This means that as the temperature rises, the further the vents will
open. The automatic ventilation program takes into account the outdoor conditions
such as wind speed and temperature. This allows the controller to maintain the ideal
greenhouse climate.
Example
In the figure above, ventilation control has been set to automatic mode and is
currently active.
In the fixed position column
the ambient temperature rises above 22°C, the controller will automatically open the
vents further. In this example, automatic control will not be activated in the first
cooling stage, but in the cooling stage where the automatic mode
selected (in this example that is the second stage).
The automatic ventilation program can be overridden by various factors. A humidity
override may have been set in the stage screen, which means that a minimum or
maximum vent position may apply. Other automatic overrides may have also been
set in the advanced settings of a control screen (
may also cause overrides on the vent position to be applied.
