OVATION 214 FEATURES he OVATION 214 is an electronic device used for environmental control in livestock buildings. It allows the user to maintain a specified target temperature by controlling the operation of ventilation and heating equip- ment. Two stages of variable speed fans, two stages of constant speed fans, one curtain as well as foggers and heaters can be connected to the controller.

CONTROL OF AIR INLET MOVEMENT If the OVATION 214 is used in combination with a DWR-F-1A controller, the movement of the air inlets can be coordinated with the operation of the fans using a potentiometer located on the panel drive. This allows the air inlets to be adjusted correctly, without the influence of uncontrollable factors such as wind or air from adjoining rooms.
