Furthermore, the structure of the manual follows the menu structure of the computer. As the Viper software is modular software, this manual will contain sections that are irrelevant to the setup of your computer. If in doubt, please contact Big Dutchman service or your Big Dutchman dealer.

When only 1/3 and 2/3 of the house are used as grow zone ( Grow zone 1 Viper can control both the heaters in the active zones and ensure that they run at minimum in the inactive grow zones. This way, you avoid condensate on the curtains, and the inactive zones are heated faster when they are to be used as grow zones again.

Table 5: Outline of the temperature menu (changeable values are highlighted in bold types) 2.2.2.1 Inside Temperature Viper controls the inside temperature according to the set temperature. The house is heated by the heat generated by the animals and possibly by a heating system.

When the individual temperature sensor has been assigned to a zone, it will be active only when the associated zone is active. Thus, the sensors in Grow zone 2 and 3 are inactive when Grow zone 2 and 3 are inactive. Viper’s temperature indication therefore depends on which grow zone is active.

The combination of a high inside temperature and high air humidity can be life threatening to the animals. As cooling makes the house humidity increase, Viper will automatically disconnect cooling when the house humidity exceeds Stop cooling (normally 75-85 %).

This section is relevant only to houses with humidity sensors. The Viper computer can show you the humidity content of the house air. Humidity is supplied to the house air partly from animals, feed, drinking water and litter, and partly from the cooling function.

The house ventilation consists of an air inlet and an air outlet. Apart from supplying fresh air to the house, ventilation is to remove any humidity and excess heat. Viper continuously adjusts the ventilation according to a calculation of the current ventilation requirement. Thus, the computer will increase or limit ventilation according to whether the inside temperature and air humidity are too high or too low.
