    The air distribution in the house is strongly influenced by the type of air supply system. Effective ventilation controls, as are integrated in the PL-9200 poultry computer, can achieve a good air quality at animal level with a low ventilation flow rate. It speaks for itself that good climate control contributes to the animals' well-being.

  • Page 32: Temperature Monitoring

    TEMPERATURE MONITORING The temperature monitoring function is activated by your installer. The current measurement of each sensor is compared with the measurement of one minute ago. Is the temperature increase in that minute greater or equal than the relative limits an alarm is given. If the measurement is within the limits, the previous measurement is made equal to the current measurement and a new measurement is started.
  • Page 33 TEMPERATURE The animals may fall ill due to rapid temperature drops, which usually occur in the spring and autumn. To prevent these rapid temperature drops you must activate the temperature compensation. Temperature compensation will limit the house temperature corrected by the control. The “Reduce temp. compensation” setting determines the speed at which the corrected house temperature is controlled down to the preset house temperature in the event of a drop in temperature.
  • Page 34 At an outside temperature of 20°C the bandwidth is 4.0°C. If the outside temperature drops to 10.0°C the bandwidth is increased by 1.0°C. ΔT = Current outside temperature-bandwidth compensation starts at outside temp. = 10.0°C-20.0°C= -10.0°C Correction bandwidth = ((ΔT * Bandwidth compensation) * Bandwidth) / 100% Correction bandwidth = (-10.0°C * -2.5%/°C) * (4.0°C / 100%) = 1.0°C The corrected bandwidth is: 4.0°C + 1.0°C = 5.0°C But if the outside temperature increase to 30.0°C the bandwidth will be diminished with 1.0°C to 3.0°C (4.0°C...
  • Page 35 PRESSURE CONTROL The under pressure can automatically be adjusted to the current outside temperature. This results in a higher under pressure if the outside temperature is low and a lower under pressure if the outside temperature is high (cold air is heavier than warm air).

  • Page 64: Animal Weighing

    ANIMAL WEIGHING A maximum of two scales can be connected to the PW-2. The collected data of these scales can be registered both independently and jointly. In combination with the weighing scales, types WDP-50, WDH-50 and/or WDH-100, the PW-2 animal weigher forms a poultry weighing system which is capable of calculating, registering and displaying the daily weighing results.
  • Page 65 SETTINGS Defining norm In order to calculate an animal's weight, the computer needs a target value, i.e. a norm weight. This norm weight can be determined in any of 5 ways: Automatic: The computer takes the average weight of the previous day at the beginning of every day. The norm weight is equal to the average weight of the previous day.
  • Page 66 WEIGHING PERIOD 7 days We advise not applying the “Week programme” if determination of the norm has been set to “Auto. + growth”, since the growth on the day skipped is 0 or negative.
