intensity. *This parameter is accessible if the
brooder mode is set to 0-10V in the installation menu
(see section 3).
Min Output — Set the minimum intensity of
the brooder heater (in %). *This parameter is
accessible if the brooder mode is set to 0-10V in the
installation menu (see section 3).
Max Output — Set the maximum intensity
of the brooder heater (in %).*This parameter is
accessible if the brooder mode is set to 0-10V in the
installation menu (see section 3).
8.3.3. Brooder Curve
The controller can adjust the start tempera-
ture of the brooder heater over time with a
curve. A curve is made of 10 steps. Each step
specifi es a day number and start temperature
of the brooder heater for that day (the day
number refers to the animal age). When the
curve is activated, the controller changes the
start temperature of the brooder heater every
hour in a linear fashion between consecutive
steps of the curve. When the last step is
reached, the controller keeps using the start
temperature associated to that day.

NOTES:
i) All ten points of the curve must be speci-
fi ed. If ten points are not needed, repeat the
last start temperature value for each unnec-
essary point.
ii) Certain restrictions apply to reduce the
risk of errors:
- The highest possible day number is 450.
- Decreasing day numbers are not allowed.
The cuve parameters can only be modi-
fi ed while the curve status is OFF. To
disable the brooder curve, scroll down
all points of the curve inside the brooder
curve menu. The curve status will then
fl ash on screen. Press EDIT and then
press the down-arrow key to turn it Off.

Status — Once all 10 curve steps are defi ned,
press the down-arrow key to select the curve
status at the bottom of the screen and then
select "Yes" to enable the curve. Once it is on,
the controller automatically adjusts the start
temperature of the brooder heater between
consecutive points of the curve.
