2 Product Description Natural ventilation is supplied as part of the system software for the SKOV controllers or as a feature software containing a specific functionality for post-installation in already working controllers.
User and Technical Manual Pure Natural Ventilation Using Natural ventilation, the air change happens when air currents move between the adjustable air inlet and the air outlet without any assistance of fans. Curtain openings on the sides of the livestock house are typically used as both air inlet and the air outlet.

User and Technical Manual 3.1.2 Natural ventilation using weather station When Natural ventilation is combined with a weather station, it is possible to take the current wind direction and wind speed into account by adjusting the ventilation. Indication of the maximum allowable opening of the individual air inlets. Inlet maximum opening The controller calculates the opening based on the current wind direction and speed.
User and Technical Manual Alarm Settings for Natural Ventilation Alarm settings Climate Inlet and outlet alarm Disabled Error natural inlet Hard Soft Disabled Error natural outlet Hard Soft Inlet and outlet alarms are technical alarms. Error entrada natural The house controller triggers the alarm if the opening differs from the setting which the controller calculates to be correct.
User and Technical Manual TECHNICAL MANUAL This technical manual deals with the installation of the controller, and is aimed at the electricians who will be installing and testing the controller. The installation must be carried out by expert personnel and according to current national regulations - in Europe also EU regulations.
User and Technical Manual Loading Feature Software in Controller 2. Loosen the 4/6 screws (A) that hold the front panel in place. 3. Lift out the front panel. Be careful not to pull the flat cable as this will damage the connector (B). Unpack the USB stick and label from the cardboard box.

User and Technical Manual 5.5 Adjustment The menu Adjustment Climate Natural temperature sensors setup Natural outlet setup At Natural ventilation, the opening of the air inlets is adjusted based on the input from the inside temperature sensors - and possibly a weather station. The livestock house can be divided into areas. Each area can be connected to one or several temperature sensors.

User and Technical Manual Example 4: Setup of front display with Natural ventilation It can be advantageous to set up the front display so that it reflects the installation in the house. Air inlet The temperature sensors have a central placement on the display to indicate their placement in the house.

User and Technical Manual Calibration of Weather Station The weather station is used in connection with natural ventilation, where it is indispensable to know the wind direction and speed to be able to regulate the air inlets (openings) with due consideration of the weather situation.
User and Technical Manual 8 Settings Technical/ Service/ Default settings/ Climate/ Natural This section is only relevant to houses with weather station. The menu Natural Natural Location Air inlet Side/Location Limitation factor Cancellation of limitation at outside 4 °C temperature above setpoint Display reading Functional explanation Indicate where the air inlets are placed physically in the house.
User and Technical Manual Example 6: The limitation of the opening of the air inlets based on wind direction On the windward side of the house the opening of the air inlets is limited based on wind direction. The more often the wind is directly on the house and the stronger it is, the small will the opening of the air inlet be.
User and Technical Manual The menu Control Parameters Reaction time of the air inlets. Integration time 15 mm:ss Longer time: slow reaction. Shorter time: quicker reaction. Example 7: Reduction of minimum ventilation at low outside temperature The reduction increases linearly (from 0 % at 5 °C, 20 % at -2.5 °C to 40 % at -10 °C). At an outside temperature of -2.5 °C, a minimum ventilation of 30 % is thus reduced by 20 %, giving a reduction of 6 %.
