Hired-Hand Farm Hand Series: 4 Stage Controller - Manual (Page 9)

4801-5058 Rev 8-04 Farm Hand 4 Stage Controller 9 of 30
6.4 PC Compatible Network Parameters
This option requires Hired-Hand’s Farm Manager Software. The controller has 3 functions
which are used to set it up on the Hired-Hand PC compatible inter-controller network
(HHNet). These are:
P40 - HHNet Address
HHNet allows you to connect up to 32 controllers on a single
communications port of your personal computer (PC). In order for the
computer to recognize the communications from the controllers, each
controller must have a unique address. For example: If you have two 4
Stage Controllers, and two Power Vents you would need to set the first 4
Stage Controller to be address 1, the second 4 Stage Controller to address
2, the first Power Vent to address 3, and the second Power Vent to address
4. Valid settings are: 1 - 32. (You do not have to address the controllers in
any particular order.)
P41 -- Version Number
This is not settable. It is the version of controller software.
P42 -- Controller Type
This is not settable. It is a unique number which allows the network
software (Farm Manager) to know what type controller it is.
6.5 Sensor Calibration
The 4 Stage Controller has 3 sensors which may be calibrated. The parameter(s) for
calibration are PSx with x being the sensor number. The sensor temperature reading is
alternately displayed along with the parameter number.
You should never attempt to calibrate a sensor more than 8 degrees. If you have a setting
that far out of range, it indicates that there is a problem which should be corrected.
PS1 - Calibrate Sensor 1
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.
PS2 - Calibrate Sensor 2
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.
PS3 - Calibrate Sensor 3
This reading can be changed by pressing the + or - button until the desired
reading is displayed.
