• S (Small) • L (Large) DOL 635 includes production functionality such as dry feeding, water, light and 24-hour clock, while DOL 634 in- cludes the basic production features such as light, water and 24-hour clock. A combination of climate and production functionality can be achieved by combining DOL 634 and DOL 635 system software.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 2 Work Routine This technical manual deals with the installation of the controller and and is aimed primarily at the technicians and electricians who will be mounting, installing and testing the controller. According to current national and in Europe also EU regulations, the installation must be carried out by expert personnel.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 3 Installation guide 3.1 Selecting Components There are two ways to carry out installation of the controller. At the initial installation: Use Installation wizard which will guide you through all the options of the functions.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 3.4 View week number View of week number at the top of all pages. View week number 3.5 Connecting Components The majority of the connection terminals are universal. Different components can therefore be installed using the individual terminals.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 3.5.2 The menu Show Connection When you have selected all the components in the installation menu, the house computer will show you where to connect the individual components. See the menu for where exactly to connect the individual components.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 3.5.4 Shared equipment Controllers in the same network (see Network settings [} 31]) can share equipment such as outside tempera- ture sensor and outside humidity sensor. The controller where the equipment is physically connected is called the ‘Master’. The other controllers are called ‘Clients’.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 Setting the main light with or without dimmer, with or without relay. Main light Setting the number of light sensors. Number of light sensors Light control settings Light sensor settings Selecting light sensor type. This is used to name a light source according to function, so that it can be recog- Main light nized in the menus and alarms.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 3.6.2 Feed control The production controller supports a dry feeding system with two feed lines, each of which can be extended with a subcircuit. The two feed lines may share a feed weigher and feed program or have separate feed programs. In systems that require exact feed supply, volume dispensers may also be used.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 Different types of feed may be fed to the two feed lines in sys- tems with two feed lines and a feed separation shutter located below the feed weigher. The feed is delivered to feed line one or feed line two, according to the position of the shutter.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 3.6.2.1.3 Dry feeding - monitoring of feed chain The production controller can monitor the feed chain, as well as trigger an alarm and stop the feeding if errors occur. A 0-10 V input terminal is required for each type of monitoring.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 Each controller must have its own cross auger. The feed weigher cannot have a feed separation shutter. When feeding or filling in one livestock house has finished, the feed weigher is release for use in another house.

DOL 635 • DOL 639 The following common values apply: The production controller automatically reduces the silo content with an amount corresponding Silo content to the animals' feed consumption. 2. The user adds the amount of feed delivered to one of the house controllers manually and the other house controllers update the silo content automatically.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 First select the number of silos. Then, under the heading , select if the silo should Silo settings be shared with other production controllers. Set the silo to be shared. This is done by selecting...
DOL 635 • DOL 639 A stable weighing signal is important to achieve a correctly registered feed consumption, feed supply and silo weight. Therefore, the following conditions must be considered when installing • Signal cables from the load cells to the load amplifier must be as short as possible. However, all cables must have the same length.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 When an suppy auger sensor is also used, the supply auger will stop when the sensor is covered in feed. 1. Silo auger 2. Feed weigher 3. Feed demand sensor 4. Feed separation shutter 5. Supply auger 6.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 3.6.4 24-hour clock Setting for whether the 24-hour clock will be active on the individual weekdays. 24-hour clock week pro- gram Name Naming of 24-hour clock according to function, so that it can be recognized in the menus.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 4 Calibration 4.1 Calibration of light Calibrate the light control after installation. When a light sensor is connected to the light source, calibration can be carried out against the measured value. Otherwise a lux meter must be used.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 Measure the light level (lux meter) in an area inside the live- stock house where you would like to determine the light level (not where the sensor is positioned). Compare the value with the values in the documentation for DOL 16.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 If drum weigher: When the drum has rotated once and before weights are placed in the drum, acti- vate the emergency stop on the side of the weigher so the drum does not rotate during calibration.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 4.3.1 In case of poor signal quality The following conditions may contribute to poor signal quality: • The cables from the load cells are too long. • The cables are not adequately shielded. • The cables are placed too close to power cables.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 5 Testing After installation of the system a thorough test must be carried out, to ensure that the system works as intended. 5.1 Testing basis components 5.1.1 Testing Alarm Select Alarm settings Activate to start testing.
DOL 635 • DOL 639 After testing the components, you must set the function back to automatic control, so that the house controller continues to operate as before. I/O will remain in the setting that it was on at the moment the component was set to manual. This means that operation continues when it is returned to automatic control.
