    Recording water consumption (in liter) for the past 4 days (including today). General  Logging the following measurements: house temperature, outside temperature, humidity and CO  Multiple control modes via LMN bus communication. The BO-AIR PL can be configured in four ways to send and receive additional data: - Standalone controller...

    You enter this offset as a positive value, but it will be subtracted from the setpoint. 4.3 Curtain control The BO-AIR PL can control two curtains (left and right). The curtain control is the main control. A motor controls the curtain position in either feedback mode or time mode. In feedback mode, you can use a potentiometer or a voltage/current signal for feedback.
  • Page 8: Tunnel Ventilation Control

    4. Controls During feedback calibration, the minimum and maximum feedback positions are found. 10% of this range is used to check if the feedback value is correct. For example, if the minimum feedback is 1.0V and the maximum is 5.0V, the range is 4.0V. 10% of 4.0V is 0.4V, so if the feedback is below 0.6V or above 5.4V, the alarm relay is de-energized (left curtain alarm icon flashes) and the curtain stops moving.

    4. Controls Ventilation begins after a set delay to ensure the curtains are in the correct position. A fixed hysteresis of 0.5°C is maintained between each stage and before the first stage. Once tunneling starts (when at least the first stage temperature is reached), a tunneling switch timer is initiated.
  • Page 10 4. Controls If only one house is in use, the weather station can be aligned with it, so that 0° corresponds to the front and 180° to the back. However, if two or more houses are in use and not aligned with each other, and they share a single anemometer aligned north-south, an offset is required.
  • Page 11: Outside Temperature Offsets

    4. Controls 4.7 Outside temperature offsets In certain situations, it may be necessary to close the curtains more tightly due to cold outside conditions. This is achieved by increasing the bandwidth for curtain control as the outside temperature drops. Temperature setpoint for the curtain 20.0°C Current room temperature 21.0°C...
  • Page 12: Water Consumption Registration

    4. Controls 4.10 Water consumption registration The water consumption function monitors the water usage over the last 3 days (including today). It utilizes a counter input along with a factor that represents the amount of water flowing with each pulse. Every day at midnight, the days are shifted (yesterday becomes the day before yesterday, and today becomes yesterday), and the counter for today is reset.

  • Page 27 The operation of the right curtain is similar to that of the left curtain. LMN communication alarm: If the controller is configured to receive data from another BO-AIR PL but fails to receive it, an alarm is triggered on the receiving controller. The reason could be hardware-related, but it's also possible that a faulty configuration (e.g., no BO-AIR PL configured to send data)
