  • Page 3: Purpose

    Integrated Control System - 500 Purpose The Integrated Control System model 500 (ICS-500) is an eight stage temperature controller intended for use in agricultural enclosures. The ICS-500 incorporates an electronic temperature controller, an eight stage contactor panel, and an independent back-up system.

    6.1.2. Controls 6.1.2.1. Front Panel The following controls are located on the outside of the panel. 6.1.2.1.1.Automatic/Manual The automatic/manual switch is used as its name implies. The Automatic position allows the controller to move the curtains to control temperature. When the switch is in the manual position, the controller will still operate the stages to control temperature, but the curtain can only be moved using the open/close/off switch.
  • Page 7 6.1.2.1.3.Alternate Program Switch PROGRAM (Programa) Each of the 256 stage programs has another “shadow” program. This separate program is provided to make the change between brooding and full house operation. Position A is a program tailored for brooding, whereas program B is for full house operation. 6.1.2.1.4.Target Temperature TARGET TEMPERATURE (Temperatura Optima)

Tunnel mode involves shutting the main curtain, opening the tunnel curtain, and staging in tunnel fans.

  • Page 10 6.1.2.2.4.Five/Ten Minute Timer INSTALL JUMPER FOR 5 MINUTE TIMER The controller's internal timer is normally a ten minute timer. However, installing a jumper on this position allows you to set the internal timer to a five minute timer. 6.1.2.2.5.Run Time Adjust This setting tells the controller how long to run the curtain machine when a change is needed.
  • Page 11 6.1.2.2.7.Variable Speed Fan (Enhanced Version Only) 6.1.2.2.7.1.Variable Minimum Adjust If you have the enhanced version of this controller, this potentiometer controls the minimum speed of the variable speed fan. For example, if the variable minimum is set at 50%, the fan will never run below half speed. If you have the basic version of the controller, these switches are not installed.

    the fan will be running at minimum speed when temperature equals 70 degrees. Example: Minimum 40 percent Offset 5 degrees Span 10 degrees Target Temp 75 degrees The variable speed fan will run at 40% when the inside temp is 70 degrees (target - offset). The controller will increase fan speed if inside temperature is rising up until 80 degrees [(target - offset) + span] at which point the fan would be running at 100 percent.

    Controls 6.3.3.1. Inside Controls There are eight switches on the inside of your ICS-500. Looking into the box they will be on the extreme right hand side on the boards with the large black relays. Each switch has two positions: Heat, and Cool.

  • Page 20: Operation

    Operation 7.1. Curtain Operation 7.1.1. Standard If the controller sees that temperature inside the house is above target temperature it will signal the curtains to open. When the cycle time has elapsed the controller will begin opening the curtain. (The curtain will move for the time set by the Runtime Adjust setting.) If temperature cannot be maintained by the curtains alone, the controller will stage in fans as directed by the stage program.

  • Page 21: Stage Operation

    7.2. Stage Operation Stages may be operated by the controller automatically, by the controller on the timer, or manually by turning the switches on the contactor panel. 7.2.1. Manual To turn a particular stage on, flip its toggle switch to the “ON” position. The red indicator light should turn on.

    Any time you press the button you reset the five-day timer. Maintenance There are few items on the ICS-500 which require maintenance. This does not mean that maintenance is not important. Remember that the more time you spend making things right, the less time you will spend correcting problems.

    6. If voltages are not correct you need to check and make sure that the 3 conductor cable that connects from controller to PVR-H does not have a short. Disconnect power from the ICS-500 and PVR-H. Then disconnect 3 conductor cable from the PVR-H and ICS500 making sure that they are not touching each other and then measure for a short.
