5.4.1 Synchronize Systems
The Synchronize Systems feature is used with the EV-3000 or EV-3001 controller to update the
S
3
target temperatures to the match the controller target temperatures and also automatically reset
the on-board history. The on-board history automatic reset is a new feature added in version
V0.10 and later software. If the S
3 and the EV-3000 or EV-3001 temperature targets do not
reflect the same information, the Synchronize Systems LED will flash. Press the Select button to
automatically Synchronize the target temperatures and reset the on-board history. When the
Synchronize Systems Select button is pressed, the target temperatures of the S
3 will be changed
to match the Evolution 3000/3001 controller target temperatures. It will also be displayed in the
Back-Up display for verification.
5.4.2 Test/Acknowledge Alarm
The Test/Acknowledge Alarm Section has two functions. It allows the user the ability to test the
alarm contacts or the ability to silence (acknowledge) an active alarm.
ƒ Testing Alarm Contacts
To test the Alarm contacts, the user can simply press and hold the “Select” button next to the
Test/Acknowledge Alarm indicator. This allows the user the ability to manually test his
alarm siren and/or alarm dialer. As long as the button is depressed, it will activate the alarm
relay irregardless of the conditions that exist. In applications that use audible sirens, it is
recommended that the operator press the Test/Acknowledge Alarm button for at least five
seconds twice a week. In addition to insuring that the alarm is working correctly, the
sounding of the alarm helps to condition that livestock or poultry so they are not shocked by
the sound when an emergency condition arises.
ƒ Acknowledging Alarms
If an active alarm condition exists, you can silence the audible siren, phone dialer, etc. once
you arrive by pressing this button. This indicates to the alarm that you are acknowledging the
problem; therefore, it disables the alarm contacts. If a different alarm occurs after the
acknowledgement, the alarm contacts will be re-enabled. After an acknowledgement, the
alarm indicator will continue to blink and the indicator beside the Test/Acknowledge Alarm
section will also be on. This acknowledged condition is reset by only two ways. First, the
alarm condition is corrected; secondly, the AC power and the battery power are removed
from the controller.
