CHAPTER 1 - INSTALLATION 1. GENERAL This document provides you the necessary information to install and operate the SVIM-1 . The document is presented as follows: • Introduction • Installation • User’s Guide • Appendix 1.1 DESCRIPTION The SVIM-1 is a positioner which controls motorized air inlets.

SVIM-1 allows to be aware of the system general status and error messages, if it happens. Security The SVIM-1 has several security features. In case it loses communication with the master control, the SVIM- is able to operate autonomously the air inlet by using his own temperature probe or by positioning itself to a preprogrammed position.
CHAPTER 1 - INSTALLATION 2.1 UNPACKING Unpack the SVIM-1 from its box and inspect contents for damages. Should the contents appear to be damaged, contact your distributor for return procedures. The package should contain the following standard items: • 1 SVIM-1 module •...
SVIM-1 To limit the unit’s exposure to noxious gases install it in a hallway. Make sure the unit is properly installed, that is, side up with the cable entry holes facing down. The SVIM-1 will operate in a temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 50°C).
SVIM-1 2.3 CONNECTION PROCEDURE 2.3.1 Cabling Use a screwdriver to remove cable knock-outs for the installation of cabling to the control panel. Do not apply power to the control panel until all connections have been completed. The current draw of the load should be in the range of 100mA to 5A when it is activated.
SVIM-1 CAUTION: It is recommended to use an air inlet system where the motor is able to work without overheating. Remember that a bad connection of the cables / pulley between the actuator and the curtain influences the accuracy of the curtain’s positioning. 2.3.3 Connecting to the Master Control •...
CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION 2.4 SWITCH SETTINGS 2.4.1 Line Voltage Selector Switch Refer to Figure 1 (4). 230V This switch is located on the surface of the main (bottom) board and adapts the control panel for 115V 115VAC or 230 VAC line voltage. 2.4.2 Software Setting DIP Switches Refer to Figure 1 (7) These switches are located on the bottom main board and adjust the following options:...
SVIM-1 2.5 POWERING UP AND CALIBRATION Before powering up the SVIM-1 , attach the faceplates to the casing of the control panel using the screws previously removed. The SVIM-1 has to be calibrated the first time it is started. This calibration enables the SVIM-1 evaluate the maximum and minimum positions of the curtain / inlet.

CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION CONTINUATION ... How to calculate the calibration: Calculate the time needed by the actuator to completely open minutes) complete following calculation: (Opening time x 4) ________minutes + (Parameter PAUS setting time delay x 3) +________minutes = Calibration total time =________minutes Page 15 www.monitrol.com...
SVIM-1 3.1 FACEPLATE The SVIM-1 ’s faceplate (refer to figure 5) has 4 LED indicators, 3 selection buttons, 2 adjustment buttons and a 4-digit LED status window. Below is a brief description of those features: 3.1.1 LED Indicators Refer to figure 5 (2,3,4) On the left-hand side of the faceplate are four LED indicators showing four different modes: 1.
SVIM-1 3.2 PARAMETERS The current section gives a description of the SVIM-1 parameters and how to operate them. 3.2.1 ACTUAL POS Refer to figure 5 (5) The Actual Position parameter makes it possible for users to know the exact curtain position (CLO, 1, 2..., 99, OPEN).
CHAPTER 3 - USER’S GUIDE 3.2.3.1 MINIMUM POSITION (Lo) The minimum position parameter is the minimum opening which may be reached in auto mode. The curtain will not close beyond this value. Range: CLo, 1 ... 99. This parameter is not available when DIP switch #4 is set to SVC mode.
SVIM-1 3.2.3.5 AUTO-CALIBRATION (A.CAL) This parameter only appears if DIP switch #1 is OFF. With the Auto-calibration, users can determine after how many changes in direction the auto-calibration will occur. Users can select a value from 10 and 250 (and OFF) adjustable by increments of 10.
CHAPTER 3 - USER’S GUIDE 3.2.3.7 DELAY BEFORE OPENING (dEL. O) If there is an opening request, the SVIM-1 will wait until the delay is completed before opening. Thus, the LED OPEN (refer to figure 5 (3)) will flash during the delay.
SVIM-1 3.2.3.10 RESOLUTION (rES) This parameter enables the SVIM-1 to move by steps of more than 1% to avoid small unnecessary movements of the actuator. Operating range :1% to EXAMPLE: The inlet position is 50% and the resolution is set at 4%.
CHAPTER 3 - USER’S GUIDE 3.3 AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION Auto-calibration is a feature of the SVIM-1 that is only operational when in time mode ( DIP switch #1 is OFF). When in potentiometer mode, auto-calibration is always deactivated. This function enables the SVIM-1 reevaluate its position and precision either by opening or closing completely the curtain.
CHAPTER 3 - USER’S GUIDE ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES A few additional safety features have been added to the SVIM-1 so livestock is not affected by outside or inside temperature during extraordinary situations. 3.5.1 Stand-Alone Operation The stand-alone operation of the SVIM-1 can provide safe operation during control failure.
− The actuator’s motor thermal protection is OPEN. − Possible wiring problem. − The actuator is defective. − The SVIM-1LE has never been calibrated. − The air inlet does actuator’s motor connected not go to the same backwards, exchange the OPEN and...

APPENDIX − Err 3 on display Module can’t detect potentiometer. (Consequently, it automatically switches to time mode for backup). The message disapears when the problem has been corrected. If this message appears often, it recommended check wiring connections and to change the actuator’s potentiomer.
