SWX 3 - 5/10 minute timer
This switch selects between a 5 and 10 minute system timer. If the switch
is ON, the timer is 10 minutes.
SWX 4 - Sensor 3 Active
This switch turns off sensor 3. If the switch is off, sensor 3 is turned off.
Note: This is used to disable the sensor in the back half of a half house
brooding situation. This way the low temperature reading does not affect
the temperature readings for the rest of the house. Just be sure that Sensor
3 is placed in the non-brood end of the house. If the switch is ON, sensor 3
is used.
SWX 5 – Split Vent Units
If SWX 5 is ON, PowerTrak #1 will control the Vents and PowerTrak #2
will control the Tunnel mode. If SWX 5 is OFF, PowerTrak #1 and
PowerTrak #2 will always work together to maintain static pressure.
SWX 6 - Pascals/mm H
2
O
If SWX 2 is set for Metric units, and SWX 6 is set to ON, pressure is
displayed in millimeters of water (mm H
2
O). If SWX 6 is set to OFF, the
pressure is displayed in Pascals.
SWX 7 – Initialize Defaults
This switch is not implemented and must remain in the OFF position.
SWX 8 - Program ‘A’ or ‘B’
This switch is used to toggle between 2 preset programs. This could be
used to store separate summer/winter programs for instance. The ON
position is for Program A, and the OFF position is for Program B.

2. Hang Farm Hand Vent Master 24 with four screws.
3. Make sure all power supplies are disconnected before breaking any wires, or
reaching into the enclosure.
4. Open the Vent Master 24 and find all connections. Refer to wiring diagrams in back
of this manual.
5. Run sensors out to locations inside the house. (Outside sensor should be installed
outside the house.) Be sure that the sensors are in a safe location, free from any
temperature influences (direct sunlight, water, etc.) Use care when securing sensor
wires so that you do not cut the wire. Any short, or break in the wire will cause
improper sensor operation.
