Page 5: Introduction
The air distribution in the house is strongly influenced by the type of air supply system. Effective ventilation controls, as are integrated in the PL-9000 poultry computer, can achieve a good air quality at animal level with a low ventilation flow rate. It speaks for itself that good climate control contributes to the animals' well-being. -
Page 6: Heating Controls
You can use I/O modules to extend the number of outputs of the PL-9000 poultry computer, via the ST bus (module bus). The control computer indicates which output must be driven by the PL-9000 poultry computer. The poultry computer has a memory chip where all settings are saved into, to ensure that the settings are retained even when the voltage is lost. -

Temperature setting The temperature on the basis of which the heating controls is relative to the house temperature, see page 7, if a temperature of below 10.0°C is set. -
Page 18: Cooling
On/off heating If the heating consists of on/off (non-modulating) heating, you can call up the operating hours of the heating. In addition to today's operating hours, the operating hours of the past 7 days and the total number of operating hours are shown as well. -
Page 19: Compensations Climate Control
the air speed and the temperature difference in the house would increase enormously. As this may easily cause a draught which would affect the animals the pressure control is switched off as soon as the hatches are open. The inlet flaps, which were being controlled on the basis of pressure, are now temperature-controlled. Humidification This window enables you to switch the humidification control on or off and to set the relative humidity percentage. - Page 20 Night setting You can use the night settings to create natural temperature behaviour between day and night by reducing the temperature setting by a couple of degrees during the night. In addition to the period when the night setting has to be active, you can also set the number of degrees by which the house temperature has to be increased/decreased during this period.
- Page 21 Bandwidth compensation If the outside temperature is part of the installation, the bandwidth of the main ventilation and/or air inlet flaps can automatically be adjusted to changes in outside temperature. As a result, it is possible to obtain a larger bandwidth at low outside temperatures and a smaller bandwidth at high outside temperatures.
- Page 22 Pressure control The underpressure can automatically be adjusted to the current outside temperature to create a higher underpressure when the outside temperature is low and a lower underpressure when the outside temperature is high. Example Pressure setting: 20 Pascal Compensation pressure: -0.3Pa/°C Starts outside temperature: 20°C...
- Page 23 RH / CO In addition to the ventilation control which controls on the basis of temperature, the further functionality of the poultry computer includes the possibility of controlling the ventilation/flap position on the basis of relative humidity or CO . This means that the ventilation effort will be increased if the result measured is higher than the “compensation start”...
- Page 24 Meteo The wind influence is adjustable between 0 and 9 For every ventilation group, your installer can set the (0 = no influence, 9 = maximum influence). wind direction by which the ventilation group must be corrected. Have your installer set “none” if you do not require wind correction.

Page 25: Growth Curves
GROWTH CURVES Several growth curves are available for gradual automatic adjustment of the climate in the house. A growth curve can consist of a maximum of 7 breakpoints. The current setting is determined on the basis of the growth curve, depending on the current day number. -
Page 26: Temperature Overview

Page 41: Maintenance And Check Up
MAINTENANCE AND CHECK UP Regular maintenance and checking of the equipment are essential for its proper operation. Don’t forget to clean the ventilation system when cleaning the houses. To minimize the energy consumption, it is important that the fans are clean. This also applies to the flaps, measuring fan and the ventilation tube.
