1.1. Precautions

WARNING: Read and save these in-

structions!

Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment

is used in a manner not specified by the

manufacturer. Carefully read and keep the

following instructions for future reference.

The room temperature where the module is

located must always remain between 32°F

and 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Indoor use only!

To avoid exposing the module to harmful

gases or excessive humidity, it is preferable

to install it in a corridor.

If the equipment is used in a manner not

specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not spray water on the module! In order to

clean the control, wipe it with a damp cloth.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch

power off at service panel and lock the

switch disconnecting means to prevent

power from being switched accidentally.

When the service disconnecting means

cannot be locked, securely fasten a

prominent warning device, such as a

tag, to the service panel.

1.2. Product Overview

The Variable Output Module is used to vary

the intensity of some loads in a livestock

building. It has been designed to accommo-

date various models of fan motors, of heaters

(mats or lamps) and light outputs (dimmable

compact fluorescent lights (CFL), dimmable

cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) and

incandescent lights).

Depending on the model, the module can

drive one, two or four 1600W (or 2HP)

circuits.

The circuits of a given module can all be con-

trolled the same way by an external control

system or they can be regulated separately

with a combination of control systems.

Below is a list of all possible control sys-

tems that can regulate the circuit(s) of your

module:

- 0-10V output of an environment controller;

- Variable output of an environment controller;

- Time clock or thermostat;

2. MOUNTING INSTRUC-

TIONS

Open the latch and lift the cover. Remove

the black caps located on each of the four

mounting holes. Mount the enclosure on the

wall using four screws. Be sure the electrical

knockouts are at the bottom of the enclosure

in order to prevent water from entering the

controller. Insert the screws in the mounting

holes and tighten. Fasten the four black caps

provided with the controller onto the four

mounting holes.

The enclosure must be mounted in a location

that will allow the cover to be completely

opened right up against the wall.

3. USER INTERFACE

3.1. Override Switch

The override switch allows bypassing all com-

mands given by the main control system to

the output. This switch also has priority over

the potentiometer.

Auto (variable) — This position enables the

potentiometer (see next section).

Off — The output(s) turn off.

On — The output is supplied by full AC current.

Override Switch Potentiometer

3.2. Potentiometer

The potentiometer allows changing the inten-

sity of the outputs manually. It only works

on the circuits whose override switches are

at“Auto (variable)” position.

The potentiometer only works when the

Override Switch is at “Auto (variable)”

position.

Automatic Control — While the knob is at

“AUTO” position, control of the output(s) is

returned to the main control system. If the

module is controlled by a time clock or by a

thermostat, the “AUTO” position will simply

turn the output(s) Off.

Dimmer 1-10 — If the Override switch is at

the “AUTO” position, you can use the poten-

tiometer to change intensity of the output(s)

manually. This will bypass the commands

given by the main control system.

4. WIRING

The circuits of the Variable Output Module

can be controlled by the 0-10V output and/or

variable output of an environment controller

(see below) or they can be controlled by a

time clock or thermostat (see section 4.2).

All wiring must be done by an authorized

electrician and must comply with ap-

plicable codes, laws and regulations.

Be sure power is off before doing any

wiring to avoid electrical shocks and

equipment damage.

4.1. Connect Module to

Controller

Some circuits of a given module can be con-

nected to the 0-10V output of an environ-

ment controller while others are regulated by

the variable output of another environment

controller. Figure 7 gives an example of this.

If you prefer giving all circuits the same

function, leave the trig-in & trig-out wires

as they were when the controller came out

the factory.

4.2. Connect Module to Time

Clock or Thermostat

If the module is not controlled by an environ-

ment control, you can connect it to any type

of device that has the capability of controlling

a dry contact relay (time clock, thermostat, or

else). Refer to Figure 8 to connect the module

to a time clock or thermostat.

If you are not using the time

clock input, leave the wire

5.1. Choosing a Motor Curve

If the module is used to drive fan motors,

select the motor curve that corresponds to

the type of motor in use by means of the in-

ternal switches located inside the enclosure

(see Figure 3).

Refer to the Motor Curve table at the back

of the Installation Guide to choose a motor

curve adapted to your fan model.

If an invalid switch combination is se-

lected, the module automatically enables

Light Curve #1.

5.2. Choosing a Light Curve

If the module is used to drive light outputs,

select the proper light curve on the block of

internal switches located inside the enclosure

(see Figure 3). The module has seven (7)

light curves to accommodate most models of

dimmable lamps: (Dimmable Compact Fluo-

rescent Light (CFL), Dimmable Cold Cathode

Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) and incandescent

lights).

To solve flickering problems with dim-

mable CFL/CCFL lights, decrease the dim-

ming range (i.e decrease curve number).

The minimum light intensity is brighter

when the dimming range is low.

The dimming range increases as the light

curve number increases.

Settings

If the circuit activates CFL/CCFL lights,

leave the lights ON for 24 hours after

first installation before dimming.

1. Select light curve #7 on the block of

internal switches inside the controller (see

Figure 3) and refer to Figure 6 to set the

switches properly.

When the light curve changes, the con-

troller turns OFF the lights and turns

them back ON using the new light curve.

2. Steps 3 and 4 only apply to CFL/CCFL lights

(keep light curve #7 if the circuit is used to

control incandescent lights or heating units).

3. Select the lowest light intensity with the

potentiometer.

• If th e lowes t int ens i t y is too brig h t, increase

the light curve with the internal switches.

• If the lights are flickering, decrease the light

curve with the internal switches.

4. Select another light curve if required and

try to find one that provides a good minimum

intensity and does not make the lights flicker.

If an invalid switch combination is se-

lected, the module automatically enables

Light Curve #1.

5.3. Setting Sunrise/Sunset

If the circuits are used to activate lights

and they are controlled by a time clock, the

module can simulate a sunrise (or sunset)

before each activation (or deactivation) of

the circuits.

Use the sunrise/sunset potentiometer behind

the front panel (see Figure 3) to adjust the

sunrise/sunset delay: Select the “0” posi-

tion if you want to disable this function or

select any other position to set the sunrise/

sunset delay. This delay ranges from 0 to

60 minutes. Each time the relay switches,

the module will gradually increase (sunrise)

or decrease (sunset) the light intensity over

this period of time.

All following conditions must be met for

the sunrise/sunset to work:

•Theinternalswitcheshavealighting

function (see Figure 6).

•Theoverrideswitchisatthe“AUTO”

position.

•Thepotentiometeronthefrontcover

is not at the “AUTO” position.

6. DIMMABLE ENERGY-

EFFICIENT LAMPS

(CFL/CCFL)

6.1. About Dimmable CFL/

CCFL

The module can control the intensity of two

types of energy-efficient lamps:

1. Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) — This

refers to compact fluorescent light or energy

saving light.

2. Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) —

This refers to light sources that are based on

gas discharge principles, where the cathode

of the lamp is not independently heated.

• There are about 35 different electrical

components in a typical dimmable CFL/CCFL

which can cause the bulbs to react differently

one another (some bulbs may extinguish

early; other may flicker before they extinguish

at their low end).

• Dimmable CFL/CCFL may cause interfer-

ence with AM radios, cordless telephones

and remote control devices.

• Dimable CFL should dim to 20% before they

extinguish and CCFL should dim to 5-10%.

• The lifetime of CFL/CCFL are 8 times the

lifetime of incandescent lamps. Many factors

can affect their lifetime:

- Operating voltage;

- Manufacturing defects;

- Exposure to voltage spikes;

- Mechanical shocks;

- Frequency of On/Off cycles;

- Lamp orientation;

- Ambient operating temperature;

- etc.

• The CFL/CCFL produce less light later in

their lives than when they are new: a test

made by the US Department of Energy of

‘Energy Star’ products in 2003–04 has dem-

onstrated that one quarter of tested CFLs no

longer met their rated output after 40% of

their rated service life.

6.2. Recommended Models

The brands and models of dimmable CFLs

listed below have been tested and proven

to work properly with the variable output

module (other models can be used).

1. Overdrive, Sunlight and Greenlite 8W CCFL

2. Retrolite 23W CFL

M8000, M4000 & M2000 rev.03

M8000, M4000 & M2000

6.3. Installation Recomman-

dations

A variable output module can only control

one (1) t yp e of dimmab le CFL /CC FL — Using

multiple types, wattages or brands of CFL/

CCFL creates interferences that could cause

the module to work improperly.

Wait for warm up before dimming — The

dimmable CFL/CCFL bulbs may be exposed

to various temperature conditions during stor-

age and transportation. Turn the lamps ON

at 100% for 24 hours after first installation

before dimming.

Make sure the dimmable CFL/CCFL is

screwed tightly in the socket — If the dim-

mable CFL/CCFL bulb is not screwed tightly

in the light fixture, the CFL/CCFL will try to

reset continuously.

Do not toggle the ON/OFF switch repeat-

edly — A dimmable CFL/CCFL has a built-in

protection that forces it to reset in case of

an abnormal situation (air leak, poor contact,

poor burner activation, etc.) A reset can take

about 2 minutes. Consequently, if the CFL/

CCFL does not turn on instantaneously, wait

2 minutes before switching it on again.
