LIGHTS

The controller has one 0-10V output that can be
used to control the light intensity. Additional lights
can also be connected to On/Off relays: these lights
simply turn on when the 0-10V lights reach a user-
defined intensity. Refer to section 4.5 to enable
light programs and refer to section 4.8 to enable
on/off light relays.
Light Programs:
The controller can use 10 different light programs
containing 6 daily light cycles each. The same pro-
gram is performed every day until another program
replaces it (the program selection is made accord-
ing to the age of the animals).

Light Cycles:
Up to 6 different light cycles can be performed in
the course of a light program. These cycles are
used to change the light intensity over the day (see
graph below).
Light Peaks:
A light peak is a marked increase in the light inten-
sity. They are used to stimulate the animals. When
light peaks are used, they are preformed right af-
ter the sunrise, at the very beginning of the cycle.
They are then performed on a regular basis, ac-
cording to a user-defined timer.
