Fans, cooling pads, air inlets and heaters need to work together as ventilation requirements change throughout the day and across production stages.","\u002Fuploads\u002Fimages\u002F2026-09\u002Ff29cf514-0375-42fa-b782-4220349f1f2e.png","\u003Cp>The \u003Cstrong>CCSDA K16 pig farm environmental controller\u003C\u002Fstrong> brings these functions into one control system. Equipped with \u003Cstrong>16 relay outputs, 7 temperature inputs and 3 analog 0–10 V outputs\u003C\u002Fstrong>, it is designed for conventional negative-pressure ventilation systems in medium-sized pig farming operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For farms with multiple barns, controllers can be installed on a barn-by-barn basis, with operating data brought together on the AiFarm platform for centralized viewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Where Does the K16 Fit?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The K16 is suited to pig barns with fixed-speed fans or compatible variable-speed equipment, evaporative cooling systems, motorized air inlets and heating equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is particularly relevant when a barn needs coordinated control of several types of equipment rather than separate controls for ventilation, cooling and heating. It also supports farms looking to standardize controller settings across similar barns while retaining individual control of each building.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Selection should be based on the barn’s equipment list, control interfaces and ventilation requirements—not farm size alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>K16 Technical Specifications\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>SpecificationConfigurationVentilation modeNegative-pressure ventilationRelay outputs16Temperature inputs7Analog inputs4 × 4–20 mADigital inputs3, supporting applications such as water\u002Ffeed pulse counting and external alarm signalsAnalog outputs3 × 0–10 VPower-failure alarm interface1 × 12 V battery input for power-failure alarm functionalityDisplay7-inch touchscreenConnectivity4G or Ethernet through a compatible IoT moduleData acquisition expansionOptional RS485 interface for water, electricity and feed monitoringPower supplyAC 85–305 V, 50\u002F60 HzRated power consumptionLess than 15 WDimensions350 × 250 × 130 mmInstallationWall-mounted\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Key Features for Pig Barn Climate Control\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Ch3>Multi-Point Temperature and Environmental Monitoring\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The K16 supports seven temperature inputs, allowing sensors to be positioned at different locations within the barn. This provides a broader view of temperature distribution than a single measurement point.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Four 4–20 mA inputs can also accept signals from compatible humidity, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ammonia (NH₃) sensors. When the relevant sensors and functions are configured, these measurements can supplement temperature-based ventilation control.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sensor selection and placement should reflect the barn layout, monitoring priorities and available input channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Staged Ventilation and Minimum-Ventilation Control\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The K16 supports temperature curves, nighttime compensation, fan rotation, cross-ventilation fan control, ventilation staging and adjustable minimum-ventilation fan timing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Temperature curves allow target settings to follow different production stages. Nighttime compensation supports adjustments for day-to-night conditions, while ventilation staging brings equipment into operation according to the configured temperature deviation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fan rotation helps distribute operating time across fans. Adjustable minimum-ventilation timing provides additional flexibility when ventilation is required but cooling demand is limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These settings should be commissioned for the specific barn and reviewed as pig age, weight and seasonal conditions change.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Coordinated Control of Fans, Cooling and Heating\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>With 16 relay outputs and three 0–10 V outputs, the K16 can coordinate compatible ventilation fans, evaporative cooling systems, sprinklers, heaters, air inlets and curtains.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Relay outputs provide on\u002Foff control signals, while the 0–10 V outputs support adjustment of compatible equipment or drive systems. The final arrangement depends on the control interfaces and electrical design of the installation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The 16 relay outputs are shared across the configured control functions.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Fan groups, cooling systems, heaters, inlet actuators and alarms all need to be considered when allocating outputs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Centralized Data Viewing Through AiFarm\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>With a suitable 4G or Ethernet connection, the K16 can send operating data to the \u003Cstrong>AiFarm platform\u003C\u002Fstrong>, allowing farm managers to view information from multiple barns in one place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Configuration import and export help reduce repetitive setup work across barns with similar equipment. Remote upgrades also support ongoing controller maintenance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Imported settings should still be checked against each barn’s layout, equipment capacity and production requirements before use.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Touchscreen Operation and Power-Failure Alarm Support\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The 7-inch touchscreen provides access to controller settings and operating information at the barn.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The K16 also includes a 12 V battery input for power-failure alarm functionality. This supports awareness of a power-loss event, but it does not provide backup power for fans, cooling systems or other connected equipment. Backup power and emergency ventilation need to be planned separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What to Check Before Selecting the K16\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Ch3>Confirm the Available Inputs and Outputs\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Prepare a complete list of sensors, fan groups, cooling systems, heaters, inlet actuators and alarm requirements before selecting the controller.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A device category’s stated maximum capacity should not be interpreted as capacity available simultaneously for every other category. The final system must fit within the controller’s total input and output resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Check the Fan Control Interface\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The K16 supports relay-based switching and compatible 0–10 V control. It does not provide digital fan communication for speed commands and operating-status feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A fan described as “EC” or “variable-speed” should therefore be checked for its actual control interface. Where communication-based fan control and monitoring are required, a model such as the CCSDA D60 may be more appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Verify the Ventilation Mode\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The K16 is designed for \u003Cstrong>negative-pressure ventilation\u003C\u002Fstrong>. Projects requiring positive-pressure or combined positive- and negative-pressure ventilation should be assessed separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Applications requiring air filtration pressure monitoring or air-box pressure and airflow measurements may call for a different configuration, such as the CCSDA D1000.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Frequently Asked Questions\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Ch3>How many fans can the K16 control?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The product selection table lists support for up to 15 fixed-speed fans. Actual capacity depends on fan grouping, electrical design and how relay outputs are allocated to other equipment. The complete configuration should be confirmed before installation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Can the K16 connect to ammonia and CO₂ sensors?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Yes. Its four 4–20 mA inputs can accept compatible ammonia, CO₂ and humidity sensor signals. The number and combination of sensors must remain within the available input capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Can one K16 manage an entire multi-barn farm?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The K16 is intended for individual barn control. A multi-barn installation should be planned with controllers assigned according to each barn’s requirements, while AiFarm provides centralized access to their operating data.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Does the K16 support power-failure alarms?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Yes. It includes a 12 V battery input for power-failure alarm functionality. The battery connection is for the alarm function, not for keeping connected ventilation or cooling equipment running.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Plan Your K16 Configuration with CCSDA\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>CCSDA provides installation guidance, parameter configuration support and after-sales assistance for the K16.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To discuss a project, share your barn count, equipment list, fan control interfaces, sensor requirements and network availability with the CCSDA technical team. These details help determine whether the K16 has the right control capacity for your installation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Contact CCSDA for K16 product information and a configuration review based on your barn’s requirements.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Technical reference: CCSDA’s August 2026 intelligent hardware product manual, page 19, and the livestock environmental controller selection table.
