9. Programming the Data Shuttle to Load Farm Hand Controller Settings
This section describes the various windows required to load controller settings into the Farm Hand
Power Vent, Stage controllers and the Alert Alarm. The Data Shuttle can be loaded with settings
for each type of controller. When the Data Shuttle is connected to a controller, the Shuttle
recognizes the specific type of controller and sends the appropriate settings.
Before using the Launch Pas software to load controller settings, the user should become familiar
with the controllers by reading the appropriate controller user manual. These manuals are listed in
the reference section of this document in Section 9.
For the Farm Hand power vent controllers there are three windows: a GENERAL, a RAMPING
and an ALARM. To program the Farm Hand stage controllers there are up to four windows
depending upon the specific controller: a GENERAL, a STAGE DATA, a VARIABLE SPEED
and a CURTAIN. The Vent Master uses a GENERAL, a STAGE DATA, an INLETS, a
RAMPING and an ALARM. To program the Alert Alarm there are three windows: a STATUS,
a TEMPERATURE and a WATER.
The following sections discuss the various programming windows. After programming the
desired parameters, it is necessary to return to the GENERAL window for stage controllers and the
STATUS window for the Alert Alarm and select the OK button to return to the Data Shuttle
External Functions window to launch the Shuttle.
