Climate Controllers

Truly good ventilation systems don’t just happen. Sophisticated microprocessor based climate controllers that are at the heart of each AP system must be chosen carefully and set to achieve maximum results. Cooling and heating systems need to be properly sized and located to get the most from your investment in an environmental system. These are all reasons to purchase an AP system that is totally engineered and guaranteed to perform as specified.

Our team of experienced professionals will work with your plans to produce an engineered system that comes complete with recommended placements, settings and wiring suggestions.

To be a player in today’s international marketplace the modern pork producer needs a competitive edge. The efficiency of the modern facility depends on many issues of which the efficiency and longevity of ventilation fans are a substantial part. When the design team at AP was given the challenge of developing a new fan line, three points were paramount. Performance, efficiency, and longevity all needed to be maintained while keeping the price as competitive as possible.

You will find the Performer Series ventilation fans have met and exceeded the goals set forth in this challenge. The progressive pork producer is the winner, with tremendous air output, extremely low power consumption and a warranty far beyond the competition’s. This package, combined with a very competitive price and AP's reputation for service puts you in a much better position to compete in the world marketplace.

Expert™ Series Controls
The Expert line of controls can be custom configured to meet the specific requirements of your facility’s ventilation systems and production practices.

Specialty Controls
Precision control and monitoring of your environmental systems requires sophisticated tools you can rely on. AP offers several specialty controls with the features you’d expect to find in more expensive system controls.

Expert™ Controls
Standard Features

• Zoning of heaters, inlets and circulation fans with up to eight inside temperature sensors
• Power save feature, allows smaller less efficient fans to be switched off as the temperature rises
• Air inlet, chimney and curtain outputs use timer logic based staging
• Set point and minimum ventilation curves
• USB flash drive is used to duplicate programming
of multiple controls (Series II is not USB, it uses Config 300)
• Seamless ventilation steps between stages when using variable speed fans
• Separate day/night set points and minimum ventilation settings
• Up to two timed outputs for feed systems, water or lights

• Cooling stage with cycle timer
• Alarm that monitors up to ten functions 16 are monitored in the Series II and 11 in VT110
• Clean mode with soaking stage
• Removable relays with individual indicator lights and on/off/auto switches
• Overload and over voltage protection
• Full speed start up on variable fan stages
• Records heater run time up to seventy- five days
• Records run time of up to four feed systems for up to seventy-five days
• Records high and low temperature history for up to seven days
• Records animal count, age and mortality

I-Box 360™ Communication Systems
Receiving accurate, real time information with the ability to control vital systems in your facility from an office PC or remotely via the internet iswhat I-Box is all about. It’s Informative, it’s Intelligent, it’s I-box.  AP controllers, timers, and monitors can be linked together and monitored from an I-Box on site or remotely via the internet. Our I-Box software package allows you to make changes to ventilation control and timer parameters, monitor current environmental conditions, data log and chart historical information. The software utilizes pull down menus and dialog boxes to make it simple to operate.

TC5 Series Ventilation Controls
AP’s TC5 Series ventilation controls are sophisticated yet simple to program and operate. These controls are designed and manufactured for specific applications such as natural, tunnel or power/natural ventilation.

TC5 Standard Features:
• Up to four temperature sensors averaging temperature
• High/low temperature retention
• Set point and minimum ventilation curves
• Overload and over voltage protection
• Zoned or cascading heat stages
• Alarm output
• De-icing cycle on second stage variable fans
TC5 Controllers Optional Features:
• Humidity sensor input
• Air inlet control using TC5-ITA timed logic or PF-6 inlet position module and potentiometer

“Mini” Expert
The “Mini” Expert line of controls offers many of the features of the Expert series of controls at a price comparable to the TC5 Series. “Mini” Experts are ideal for farrowing and nursery rooms requiring precise control of environment.
Standard Features Include:
• Button style user interface
• Seamless ventilation steps between variable speed stages
• Internal air inlet output using timed logic staging
• Outside temperature compensation for alarm settings
• Records and displays heater run time for six days
• Input for water meter to record six days usage
• USB flash drive for duplicating and storing settings
• Day and night set points
• Overload and over voltage protection

The HML Series power module is capable of varying the intensity of lights, heat lamps, heat mats, or fans.
HML series controllers feature a rugged construction with plenty of capacity. 3 models are available; 2kW (HML-20), 4kW (HML-40) and 8kW (HML-80). The HML is compatible with most dimmable CFL’s (Compact fluorescent lights) including CCFL (cold cathode).

The HML features adjustable output intensity curves. 7 light curves adjust electronic lamps (CFL) and incandescent lamps. In addition, 10 fan curves are available to optimise variable fan speed range.

Available in automatic or manual control, the HML series controllers are easy to use, easy to install, and easy to service.
