DOL 634 CE 1 Guidelines This user manual deals with the daily operation of the house controller. The manual provides the fundamental knowledge about the functions of the controller that is required to ensure optimum use of it. Some functions are optional and only used in specific set-ups of the house controller. These func- tions are shown with an optional icon.
DOL 634 CE 2 Product description DOL 63X is a series of one- and two-house controllers developed especially for pig houses. The controller se- ries includes several variants. Each of them meets the different requirements for climate and production control in connection with the production forms and geographical climatic conditions.
DOL 634 CE 3 Operating instructions 3.1 Operation The climate and production controller is operated by means of the touch display. The view in the display is called a page. You can scroll both up/down and right/left to see the entire page.
DOL 634 CE 3.2 Daily use The controller is operated via created pages giving access to settings and information. We recommend that you create pages with the content you need for daily operation. The pages provide infor- mation about and status of the operation. Furthermore, the content of the pages works as shortcuts to the set- tings menu for quick and easy access to changing settings.
DOL 634 CE 3.3 Activity log The controller registers operation, events and alarms with the information of when they took place and when they were deactivated. It often happens that several alarms follow each other because one defective function also affects other functions.
DOL 634 CE 3.4 Selecting default pages The climate and production controller comes with a number of default pages that vary according to the ventila- tion system and animal type. In order to simplify the set-up of controller, you can use default pages.

DOL 634 CE The history curves for monitoring electricity show current con- sumption calculated over different periods. 6.3 Auxiliary sensors This section is relevant only to houses with auxiliary sensors. Auxiliary sensors menu gives you a quick overview of the registrations of the house controller from the aux- iliary sensors.
DOL 634 CE 7 Alarms Alarms only work when the status is Active house The only exceptions are alarm test and alarms for CAN communication and temperature surveil- lance for Empty house When an alarm occurs, the house controller will register the alarm type and the time it occurred.
DOL 634 CE 7.2 Alarm test Regular alarm tests help to ensure that the alarms actually work when needed. Therefore you should test the alarms every week. Activate to start testing. Alarm test Check that the alarm lamp is flashing.
DOL 634 CE With the function , you can postpone the alarm signal so that Sensor alarm delay transient changes of the pressure level in the livestock house, e.g., when open- ing a door, do not trigger the alarm. The controller activates an alarm when the pressure in the livestock house...
DOL 634 CE 7.6 Emergency control 7.6.1 Emergency opening Emergency opening is a standard function in the controller . The controller will activate the ventilation system in case of a relevant alarm, see the levels in section Control parameters [} 54].
DOL 634 CE 8 Maintenance instructions The house controller requires no maintenance to function correctly. You should test the alarm system every week. Use only original spare parts. Note that the service life of the house controller will be extended if it stays connected all the time, as this will keep it dry and free from condensation.
DOL 634 CE 9 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.

1-3 sensors for inlet/exhaust unit Stepless 2 Technically, one sensor is sufficient for 16 exhaust units, but SKOV A/S usually recommends that a Dynamic Air sensor be installed in every other stepless exhaust unit to ensure optimum regulation. DOL 63XCE regulates stepless units without sensors based on a calculated output.
DOL 634 CE 10.6.3 Active Functions in the Event of Control Failure When installing MultiStep air outlet and side cooling, you must decide how these functions is to react in an emergency situation. MultiStep air outlet Activated: When the control fails, the air outlet is active.
DOL 634 CE 11 Calibration 11.1 Calibration Calibration of central air intake Calibration of inlets Select to start the calibration. Check that the correct inlet(s) open(s) and close(s) correctly. Wait until the calibration is completed and the display shows again.

DOL 634 CE 12 Testing After installation of the system a thorough test must be carried out, to ensure that the system works as intended. 12.1 Testing basis components 12.1.1 Testing temperature and air humidity sensors Read the current inside temperature and humidity 1.
DOL 634 CE Select the function to be tested and test the components one at a time. A colored bar at the top of the page indicates that a component is set for manual mode. After testing the components, you must set the function back to automatic control, so that the house controller continues to operate as before.
DOL 634 CE The test is to show if the connected stepless fans are set correctly, i.e. if they can run at minimum and maxi- mum speeds, and whether they are placed correctly. In internal fan speed controller mode, the emergency change-over switch AUT/MAN (automatic/manual) on the side of the controller must be set to AUT (see the section Emergency Change-over Switch AUT/MAN [} 44]).
DOL 634 CE 12.2.1.4 MultiStep This test is to show that flaps and fans in the chimneys work in relation to each other. The installed MultiStep units should be tested in the same way for each step, by checking the exhaust units indi- vidually.
DOL 634 CE 12.2.4 Testing auxiliary functions 12.2.4.1 Testing auxiliary sensor This section is only relevant to livestock houses where auxiliary sensors are installed. Check that the current voltage displayed corresponds to what you can measure on the sensor or the connection terminals with a multimeter.
DOL 634 CE 13 Service 13.1 Settings 13.1.1 Climate 13.1.1.1 Setting of Exhaustion (MultiStep) MultiStep is a method for controlling one or more exhaust units in steps, so that the exhaust output becomes stepless. The controller controls one or two exhaust units stepless from zero to 100 %, while the rest of the exhaust units are switched on in steps as required.
Netmask and gateway must only be set when selecting Static IP. The house controller is set to Static IP by default. SKOV A/S recommends that you follow a standard network setup (also see FarmOn- line Explorer Technical manual). Technical User Guide...

DOL 634 CE It is possible to save and load a backup of the current settings and page views. This can be done either on the house controller's internal CPU module, SD card or USB stick. If settings are to be copied to other house controllers, use an SD card or a USB stick.
Page 51
DOL 634 CE When the settings and pages are saved on the SD card, the house name, date and time is added automatically. When loading you can select between loading settings, loading pages or loading settings and pages. When settings are saved on the USB stick, a name can be added to the file.
SD card status See the status of the SD card or USB stick. USB stick status SKOV A/S recommends that you always save the setup on a USB stick before updating a program. 13.4 Software update Important information Loading a new program usually takes up to two minutes.
DOL 634 CE Menu Function Setpoint Minimum ventilation Maximum ventilation Production Number of dead animals Silo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 If there are animals in the house, climate and production functions which need to be run manually during the update must be activated now.
DOL 634 CE It is VERY important not to disconnect the power supply during update. Do not remove the USB stick until the installation is fully completed. In other words, when the graphical user in- terface is accessible and usable.

DOL 634 CE 13.6 Adjustment of pressure 13.6.1 Adjustment of stepless unit For the controller to set the correct relation between the fan voltage and the flap position and thereby supply the correct ventilation, it is important the the stepless units are correctly set. This is also important to maintain pres- sure stability.
DOL 634 CE Select the menu Technical | Service | Adjust pressure The controller can regulate the air inlets according to their re- spective curves in relation to the current ventilation require- ment. It is therefore possible to use one air inlet for winter venti- lation and both air inlets for summer ventilation.
