Introducing the Plus Touch Series— The PEC Plus redesigned
Plus Touch brings a wealth of new features that make it more powerful and more versatile.
More than just temperature
Plus Touch can monitor humidity, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and more. It can then use those conditions to influence how it controls equipment. For example, if the humidity is too high, it can switch heaters on or increase ventilation to reduce it.
VentGrid™ merged ventilation
In addition to traditional staged control, Plus Touch offers VentGrid merged ventilation. Merged mode has up to four steps. The benefit is that merged mode can provide smoother transitions between steps than traditional staged mode can between stages.
Growth and minimum ventilation curves
Growth and ventilation curves are powerful features that allow you to automatically change the temperature set point and minimum ventilation rate over time to adjust to requirements as your animals grow.
Completely programmable in as little as 5 minutes
That’s a bold statement, but Plus Touch is more than a new look and name; it is a completely new user experience. The buttons and LED display have been replaced with a 5-inch touchscreen that allows you to more easily configure, program, and monitor your room and equipment.
Backwards compatible
Plus Touch is backwards compatible with all earlier PEC Plus control (bottom) boards. To upgrade to a Plus Touch and add all the new features, you purchase a display upgrade kit, connect it to your existing PEC Plus control board, and then program your new control.
