DOL 834 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.
The house controller is available in two variants, both of which are used in a total insect ventilation system: • DOL 834 Insect (section ventilation) • DOL 834 CE Insect (central exhaust) The climate controller is operated via a touch display with graphical views of e.g. the ventilation status, icons and curves.
Page 9
See the section about CO2. DOL 834 CE is used for controlling the pressure in an exhaust duct for a central exhaust ventilation system. It can also be used in houses where fresh air needs to be heated up or cooled down before it enters the house.
DOL 834 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 834 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 834 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 834 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 834 CE The history curves for monitoring electricity show current con- sumption calculated over different periods. 5.3 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 834 CE 6 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 834 CE 6.2 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 834 CE 6.6 Emergency control 6.6.1 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 [} 52].
DOL 834 CE 7 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 834 CE 8 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 834 CE 9 Installation guide 9.1 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. At adaptation of the existing installation: Use the menu...
DOL 834 CE 9.4 View week number View of week number at the top of all pages. View week number 9.5 Connecting components The majority of the connection terminals are universal. Different components can therefore be installed using the individual terminals.
DOL 834 CE 9.6 Climate 9.6.1 Central air intake Central air intake can be used alone or in conjunction with central exhaust. Central air intake is installed by selecting up to two air inlets and up to four temperature sensors that are posi- tioned in relation to the air inlets of the sections.

DOL 834 CE 0-10 volt output The 0-10 V output makes it possible to run at low speeds on the fan, and from here to run the fan steplessly up to full speed. Low speed and Full speed When a fan connect to a 0-10 V output has been selected, a voltage value must be set which corresponds to the fan running at low and full speed.

Figure 8: Number of Dynamic Air sensors for central exhaust in fan bank Technically, one sensor is sufficient for 16 air outlets, but SKOV A/S recommends that a Dynamic Air sensor is installed in every other stepless air outlet in order to ensure optimum regulation conditions.
DOL 834 CE When applying frequency-controlled stepless fan speed controller (0-10 V), Minimum fan speed a minimum fan speed can be entered, so it does not run too slowly. 9.6.3 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.

DOL 834 CE 11 Testing After installation of the system a thorough test must be carried out, to ensure that the system works as intended. 11.1 Testing basis components 11.1.1 Testing temperature and air humidity sensors Read the current inside temperature and humidity 1.
DOL 834 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 834 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).
DOL 834 CE Activate MultiStep 1 Check that the swivel shutter in the chimney opens completely. When the shutter is approx 15 % open, the MultiStep 1 fan must start at full speed. Check that the fan sucks air out of the house (e.g. by means of a smoke test).
DOL 834 CE 12 Service 12.1 Settings 12.1.1 Climate 12.1.1.1 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 834 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 49
DOL 834 CE It is possible to make a daily backup of the controller data. Activate the function under Daily backup SD card USB stick When the settings and pages are saved on the SD card, the house name, date and time is added automatically.
See the status of the SD card or USB stick. SD card status USB stick status SKOV A/S recommends that you always save the setup on a USB stick before updating a program. 12.4 Software update Important information Loading a new program usually takes up to two minutes.
DOL 834 CE 3. Note or take pictures of the management and climate values that are described in the chart below. If there are animals in the house, it is very important to note the values that are described in the chart: (*If in- stalled).
DOL 834 CE Select the required software version. The installation process begins. Settings are automatically saved before the update starts and are loaded after the restart. During the software update, the house controller will restart. It is VERY important not to disconnect the power supply during update.
