5.3 Stage Switch
The stage LED indicator lights when a stage is active. The stage switch is used to select Auto operation,
On, or Off. If switch is in Auto position, the stage operation is controlled by the controller. That is, the
stage may turn on and off according to settings selected from the Main Display screen. If switch is in the
On position, a stage is On continuously. If switch is in the Off position, a stage is Off with the exception
of Back-Up conditions.
The white space is used to affix a label indicating stage function (i.e. brooder, fan, light, cool, etc.)
NOTE: Stages 1-40 are marked on the controller front panel. For optional Inlet Stages, use stick-on label
to apply to two side-by-side stages.
5.3.1 Inlet Stages
Optional inlet stages may be added to control vents & curtains. When Auto/Manual toggle switch is placed
in Auto position, inlet opens and closes according to programmed instructions. Use the Open/Close toggle
switch to manually open or close inlet when Auto/Manual toggle switch is placed in Manual position. The
Notation area is for labeling the inlet. Refer to Section 9.11 for additional Inlet Stages details.
Under normal circumstances the machines should be left in automatic (Auto) as shown above.
IMPORTANT!
Stages that are programmed to be open/close stages must follow two rules. First, they
must be consecutive, and second, they must start on an odd stage. The open output
will always be the odd stage and the close stage will always be the even stage.
