In smaller greenhouses, a manual system opened and closed yourself could possibly be installed. These work easiest when the screen materials is backed by a track system.

Start time – when each morning will the display system start operation
Stop period – when in the afternoon will the display system stop operation
Light level – in what light strength will the screen end up being activated either to open or close
Maximum/minimum temperature – what are the limitations of temperature desired
Maximum/minimum humidity – What exactly are the limitations of humidity desired
Gap positions – this units the percent open up or close placement under different conditions such as early on a winter early morning to reduce thermal shock or through the summer to supply better shading. The gap measures and speed of motion can be controlled in a few systems.
Time delay – below changeable climate this avoids frequent opening and closing
Wind speed – To reduce high temperature loss, the screen can be closed early under high wind speed conditions
Snow detection – this may open the screen and turn on heat when it starts to snow.
The typical system uses nylon monofilament or stainless cables to aid the screen materials. The screen material can possibly rest along with the network of cables or end up being suspended by hooks from the cables. A gearmotor powers a drum or rack and pinion that moves the industry leading of the screen material. Control is usually either with a manual switch or electronic rack drive for greenhouse china controller.

Based on the over, the grower is required to enter the following parameters in to the controller:

A weather station is required to provide outdoor light level, temperature, humidity, wind and rain or snow conditions.
