ChickenMaster PRO™ Automation Switchboard
(CMPRO-SWB-PWM30A)

Complete Automation for Modern Egg Farming

The CMPRO-SWB-PWM30A ChickenMaster PRO™ Automation Switchboard is a purpose-built automation solution designed specifically for mobile chicken trailers, egg farming caravans, coops, and fixed poultry sheds.

At the heart of the system is the proprietary ChickenMaster PRO™ Automation Controller, providing reliable, intelligent automation that saves time, reduces labour, and improves flock management.

Automate Your Daily Farm Tasks

The ChickenMaster PRO™ can automatically control:

• Opening and closing external doors
• Opening and closing nest box gates
• Switching internal lighting on and off
• Courtesy lighting for the egg collection area with push-button timer control

Manual operation is always available through the intuitive four-button keypad, allowing you to override any automated function whenever required.

Intelligent Geographic Automation

Unlike conventional timer-based controllers, the ChickenMaster PRO™ is the only automated free-range egg farming controller that incorporates Latitude and Longitude geographic positioning.

Simply enter your farm's location once, and the controller automatically calculates sunrise and sunset every day—anywhere in the world.

This means:

• No seasonal timer adjustments
• No changing clocks throughout the year
• Consistent daily operation
• Less maintenance and fewer mistakes

Every sunrise and sunset parameter can also be fine-tuned, giving farmers complete flexibility to match their own management practices and production requirements.

Integrated 30 Amp Solar Charging System

The CMPRO-SWB-PWM30A includes a powerful 30 Amp PWM three-stage Solar Charge Controller with LCD display.

The integrated charger helps maintain battery performance throughout the year, especially during the shorter winter days, ensuring your automation system remains reliable.

Compatible battery types include:

• Flooded Lead Acid
• AGM
• GEL
• Lithium Li(LiCoMn)O₂
• Lithium LiFePO₄

Built for Australian Farming Conditions

Every component has been selected for durability in harsh outdoor environments.

Features include:

• High-impact UV-stabilised polycarbonate enclosure
• Clear lid for viewing LCD displays without opening the enclosure
• 304 stainless steel mounting clips and lid clasps
