Operation and safety instructions These subjects are covered in a separate manual. This manual also applies to other control computers in the Fancom F2000-line. Always read the safety instructions and warnings carefully before using the control computer. Always keep this manual close to the Lumina 35.
For any questions and support, please contact the local Fancom Sales & Service Center. Virtually all Fancom equipment can be controlled and managed from a central location. This requires the F- Central FarmManager software package and a communication module. The screens in the control computers are...
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions Please refer to the user's manual for an explanation of the basic principles of climate management. This chapter describes the working of a number of specific control functions that the installer should set. Ventilation is used to create the most pleasant climate possible in the house. Ventilation also extracts harmful substances from the house and introduces fresh air into the house.
Page 7
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions Part of the ventilation demand can be met using natural ventilation. During natural ventilation the fans are off. The outside wind provides the air flow through the house. The entire combi-table is deactivated in the natural ventilation phase.
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions Transition Natural ventilation → Power ventilation (1) With falling temperatures the control computer switches over to low ventilation when the curtains are open minimum and the temperature falls below Natural start (1). The inlets for natural ventilation (curtains) are closed.
Page 9
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions The control computer can control controllable fans and extra fans. Controllable fans can be controlled by the control computer at a certain percentage. The control computer controls the fans from, for example, 30% to 100%. This enables the control computer to increase ventilation precisely up to the required level.
Page 10
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions Extra fans can only be switched on or off via a relay. They are usually used when the controllable fans are running at maximum or in combination with controllable fans to achieve a gradual increase in ventilation.
Page 11
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions The ventilation level is expressed as a percentage. Using this percentage the control computer can locate the required level of control of the fan(s) in the combi-table. Extra fans are shown in the combi-table as value ‘0’ (off) or ‘1’ (on).
Page 12
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions The settings that have to be made for the tunnel part (T-part) correspond broadly with the settings for the M/MT- part. Instead of the ventilation position in % you enter the offset temperature for the positions. At the first position this offset temperature is linked to start temperature ventilation + calculated bandwidth.
Page 13
Modulating control allows minimum ventilation to be achieved using, for example, a large fan. Fancom differentiates between the following types of modulating control: • Modulating control with fixed modulation times •...
Page 14
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions Linear controlled fans have a minimum ventilation level, for example 30%. This determines below what percentage the ventilation will modulate, and the ventilation level during modulating. If, for example, the calculated output of the linear part is 10%, ventilation will run for 10/30th of the cycle time at 30%, and not run for the rest of the time.
Page 15
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions In order to ventilate the right amount of air and to have a perfect air distribution, it is possible to ‘pulse’ the air to the middle of the house for a fixed amount of time and then wait until the fresh air is nicely spread over the birds.
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions The fans which must activate at a certain ventilation position have been set in the relay or combi-table. However, this means that the same fans will always be active. Using rotating the control computer will activate the number of assigned fans, but in a different sequence each time.
Page 17
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions The control computer activates heating if the house Setpoint – temperature drops below hysteresis. If the house temperature rises, the heating will stay on until the control value heating is reached. A set Repeat time can be used to prevent unnecessary activation/deactivation of the heating.
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions P-control If the temperature is higher than the Control value, heating is on the minimum position. The minimum position is a user setting. If the temperature is between the Control value and Control value P-band, heating will be at a position between minimum and 100%, depending on the difference.
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions Cooling is modulating on, if the temperature is in the Hysteresis. The control computer calculates the modulation time based on the Repeat time. Example: Time modulating cooling control Inside Hysteresis the control computer controls the cooling for a part of the Repeat time.
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions HumiTemp = Humidification Temperature If HumiTemp is used, it will correct the measured average house temperature depending on the setpoint and the measured relative humidity (RH). If HumiTemp is not used, the ventilation is controlled based on the average house temperature.
Lumina 35 Explanation control functions OptiSec = Optimum Setpoint Control The control computer uses a neutral zone, with minimum ventilation and no heating. This lowers energy costs. The neutral zone is the area between control value heating and start temperature ventilation. If OptiSec is not...
Takes into account the following guidelines: Figure 8: required edge distances Never place the Lumina 35 in a place where the weather has direct influence (not in the sun, not in places where the temperature can rise sharply etc.). Never mount the Lumina 35 near water pipes, drainage pipes etc.
Connect other (signal wires) to the Lumina 35, see chapter Technical specifications. Close the cover. Always use the cable gland when connecting the Lumina 35. Use the sealing discs supplied to seal off any unused cable glands. Use a sealant to seal all cable glands, after the computer has been connected, to prevent the entry of moisture, dust and/or aggressive gasses.
