General Support Information The Chore-Time 12-32 Station Pneumatic Drinking System (PDS™) Control is designed to control water line regulators in a Chore-Time Nipple Watering System. Using this equipment for any other purpose or in a way not within the operating recommendations specified in this manual will void the warranty and may cause personal injury. This manual is designed to provide comprehensive planning and installation information. The Table of Contents provides a convenient overview of the information in this manual. General Installation Information Please read the installation instructions in this manual prior to beginning the installation. This manual provides the necessary information on the installation, operation and maintenance of the Chore-Time watering equipment you have purchased. The 12-32 Station PDS™ Control is available in station increments of 4(ie. 12, 16, 20...). Each station is capable of controlling up to 2 individual Volumatic™ regulators. For example a 12 station control can regulate and flush up to 24 individual regulators. Compressed air must be available and regulated between 6 and 12 psi [41.37 and 68.95 kPa]. Each PDS™ control consumes a low volume of air. Therefore, one centrally located compressor with a holding tank can easily supply enough air for multiple PDS™ controls.

(4 House Layout) 6 The System Layout Air can be run from a central location to supply multiple houses. Air lines can consist of Chore-Time Red tubing (Part No. 45895-500), which will supply a sufficient air supply, or PVC plumbing. Installation 12 - 32 Station PDS™ Control Installation Locate the control in a convenient location where it can easily be seen and adjusted. Fasten the control to the wall through the four holes in the corners (mounting hardware not supplied). It is recommended to use #10 flat head wood screws as mounting hardware. Connect the PDS control and the Hunter control together with liquid tight connectors and conduit (not supplied), to allow wires to be run between the controls. Figure 5. Mounting orientation Hunter® Control Caution: Be sure power to the control is still disconnected and no backup battery is installed! Install the modules to the Hunter® Control according to the Hunter installation manual. Wiring Wire from the circuit breaker to the Hunter control for 120V •Ground to green wire •Neutral to blue wire •120V to black wire •Brown wire to be capped Wire from circuit breaker to Hunter control for 240V •Ground to green wire •Neutral to blue wire •240V to blue and brown wires •Black wire to be capped With power off to the control connect with 18AWG minimum. Start wiring from any C (common) on Hunter control then run wires through the conduit to C (common) on the PDS control. Run wire from 1 on Hunter control to 1 on the PDS control. Continue running wires so the numbered connection in the Hunter control matches the numbered connection in the PDS control, see figure 6. Chore-Tronics™ When using Chore-Tronics™ to monitor water consumption, flush water can be automatically subtracted from the water usage through the meter. To do this connect one wire to common and one wire to P/MV both in the Hunter control. Run these two wires to a 24VAC Coil Relay (not supplied), from the relay run the two wires to the Chore-Tronics control, see figure 7. 7 MW1812A 12 - 32 Station PDS™ Control Installation Connect Wires With Corresponding Numbers C P/MV SEN Common Wire Connections SEN TEST REM AC AC GND Incoming Air Pressure Regulator Air Pressure 1812-12 12/03 Water Column Pressure Figure 6.

Hunter/Chore-Tronics Wiring Figure 8. Internal Wiring MW1812A 8 Installation 12 - 32 Station PDS™ Control Tubing Route the regulator tubing so any condensation in the air lines will not run into the control. Allow slack in the regulator tube leads so that they can be pinched for maintenance and diagnostic purposes, see figure 9. Each regulator tubing lead may be used to supply air to two nipple line regulator inlets. This will assure enough flush water volume per line to move air and sediment down the nipple lines and out. Run each air supply tube across the ceiling and down the water supply hose to each of the regulators, attaching it to the provided hose barb on the bottom of each regulator, see figure 10. Warming the end of the tubing will aid in installation. Incoming Air Regulator Tubing Lead Figure 9. Regulator Tube Leads Caution: Over-Heating of tube end can cause distortion and leaking. Air Supply Tube Compressed Air Supply Figure 10. Air Supply Routing Turn the red adjustment knob clockwise (Decrease) until the knob stops turning, see figure 13. BEFORE connecting the compressed air supply to the control, the compressed air supplied to the PDS™ control, must be regulated between 6 and 12 psi [41.37 and 68.95 kPa]. Failure to do this will result in damage to the gauges and possibly other components. After the air supplied from the compressor is confirmed to be between 6 and 12 psi [41.37 and 68.95 kPa], connect the air supply to the incoming pressure line on the PDS control, see figure 9. The PDS Control has an air pressure gauge to monitor the incoming air pressure. Under normal operating conditions, this gauge should show between 6 and 12 psi [41.37 and 68.95 kPa] of air pressure. Figure 11. Air Pressure 9 MW1812A 12 - 32 Station PDS™ Control Installation Water Column Gauge Calibration Turn the red adjustment knob counter-clockwise (increase) until the water column gauge reads 8 inches, see figure 13. After installation of the PDS regulators make sure all the water lines are flushed and charged. Then measure the water column at one of the Volumatic™ regulators and confirm 8 inches of water column. If anything other than 8 inches is measured at the stand tube, the water column gage will need to be re-calibrated to that measurement. To re-calibrate the water column gauge remove the plastic cover with a small screwdriver. Then turn the calibration screw (see figure 12.) until the gauge reads the correct water column height. Replace the plastic cover on the gauge. Air Leak Test Calibration Screw Figure 12. Water Column Check each control and house for air leaks with the water column gauge at 8". To check for air leaks in the control or the house pinch the incoming air supply tube to shut off the incoming air pressure. Watch the air pressure gauge on the control, the gauge should not drop any more than 2 psi [13.79 kPa] in 1 minute. If the air pressure does drop faster than 2 psi [13.79 kPa] in 1 minute, refer to the trouble shooting section on page 14. Repeat this procedure for every PDS control. MW1812A 10 Operation 12 - 32 Station PDS™ Control Operation Adjusting the water column height in the individual stand tubes. To adjust the water column height turn the red adjustment knob counter-clockwise to increase and clock-wise to decrease (see figure 13.) until the water column gauge reads the desired water column height. Note: Individual PDS Volumatic regulators provide a minimum water column height in case air pressure is lost. The regulators CAN NOT be adjusted below this height regardless of the water column gauge reading. Figure 13. Adjusting the water column Flushing The System Refer to the Hunter Control manual for specific programing details. The Hunter control has the capacity to have four individual programs: "A", "B", "C" and "D". Only programs "A", "B" or "C" should be used to control the PDS unit. Once a station is programmed to run on program "A", "B" or "C" it can’t be assigned to run in program "D". Single stations or all stations may be manually flushed at any time. Refer to Programming the Controller section in the Hunter control manual. When birds go out it is a good idea to turn the Hunter control to the off position and turn the adjustment knob on the PDS control to the minimum setting. Each program can have up to eight daily start times. As long as there are start times Figure 14. Operating the control entered for stations in a particular program that program will run. To maintain multiple programs in the control without all of them running, all the start times in the undesired programs must be set to off. The unused programs (except the start times) are retained but will not run until the start times are re-entered. This allows you to program one, two or three separate flushing sequences. For example, one for summer and one for winter or one for brooding and one for finishing. Each station can be set to run from a minimum of 1 minute to a maximum of 2 hours in 1 minute intervals. The actual amount of time it takes to completely change the water in a 3/4" drinker line is dependent on the flow rate through the line. This flow rate can easily be estimated by putting the regulator into flush and timing how long it takes to fill a container of known volume at the drain end of the line. Once this time is determined use the formula below to calculate the flow rate in gallons or liters per minute and then refer to the charts on page 12 to determine the estimated flush time in minutes for your specific line length. Volume of Container (Gallons or Liters) Seconds to Fill Container Divided by 60 = Flow Rate in Gallons or Liters per Minute For example, if it takes 185 seconds to fill a 5 gallon container the resulting flow rate would be 1.6 GMP. 5 Gallons 185/60 11 = 5 308 = 1.6 Gallons per Minute.

MW1812A 12 Flushing Recommendations 12 - 32 Station PDS™ Control Flushing Recommendations Multiple House Application: Well capacity typically limits the number of water lines that can be flushed at one time. Flushing should be staggered so 2 lines per well supply are flushed at the same time. When to flush the system Single stations or all stations may be manually flushed at any time. Refer to Programming the Controller section in the Hunter Control manual. Flushing for Sediment, Air Locks, and Cleaning Start by flushing several times per flock. Watch the water coming out of the ends of the water lines. If the water is clean with little or no air you can flush less often. If the water is discolored and has sediment or large amounts of air you may want to flush more often until these problems disappear. The sediments could react with medications, vaccines, and electrolytes. They will also hamper the effects of disinfectants and cleaners (chlorine and acids). Flushing After Introduction of Water Treatment or Bird Health Products After running any type of medication, disinfectant, electrolyte, vitamin, or vaccine, see the chart on page 12 for estimated flush times. Some products or treatments may require longer flushing time to be completely removed from the water lines. Flush to Stimulate Birds to Drink 1. In periods of hot weather flushing will provide cool, fresh water. 2. As birds mature, additional flushing can stimulate the birds to drink more water. Maintenance Keep the control box lid closed. The control is not capable of operating in a dusty environment. The loading regulator vents into the control box. When the control box is sealed the positive internal air pressure keeps dust out 13 MW1812A 12 - 32 Station PDS™ Control Troubleshooting . Troubleshooting Problem No water in Regulator Stand Tube. Water Column does not change on a Regulator. Water Column to top of Stand Tube. Compressor suddenly runs more often than normal. House seems to leak or lose compressed air too quickly. Control unit leaks compressed air. Regulators do not adjust to the same level. Correction 1. Water Off. 2. Defective or plugged Regulator. 3. Regulator plumbed backwards. 1. Stand Tube Cap plugged (not venting). 2. Air line to Regulator pinched. 1. Regulator seat worn. 2. Stand Tube Cap plugged. 3. Air Loading Unit putting out too high pressure (defective solenoid). 1. Shut off or pinch off all lines going to the individual controls to find which house is the problem. 2. Open one line at a time until you find one that causes the compressor tank to lose air more quickly. 3. See correction for house leak below. 1. Shut off the incoming line to the control and watch the small INCOMING PRESSURE GAUGE. If the control holds pressure, the leak is between the air source and that house. 2. With the incoming air off and the gauge indicates that there is a 2 PSI drop or more within 1 minute, the problem is in the control, lines, or regulators. 3. Shut off or pinch off all lines going out to the regulators and the incoming line. If the control loses pressure, the problem is inside the control. See control unit leak below. 4. If the unit holds pressure, release one line at a time to isolate the cause of the leak. 5. Test line connections and regulator for leaks. 1. Check the vent hole in the red cover of the Air Loading Unit, see figure 15. Put soapy water over the hole. A small amount of air coming out is normal (bubble should grow slowly over several seconds). 2. Put soapy water on all internal hose connections to find leak. Water in some of the air lines. Drain hose and check for defective Regulator Diaphragm. This is done by pinching the hose off at the nipple line regulator and if there is no leak the water column will remain constant, if the regulator has a leak the water column will decrease.
