5.  To start milking, press the              key.  This starts the vacuum and 

releases the cluster.   
If a code is assigned to the cow: 

a.  Make the necessary preparations as required by the code. 

b.  Press                                   (twice rapidly) to start milking.  

Stimulation 

The default setting is without stimulation pulsation: 

• 

To activate pulsation, press                                     

(twice rapidly) to start milking with stimulation. 

• 

If a code is assigned to the cow, 

and

 if you want to activate stimulation:

a.  Make the necessary preparations as required by the code. 

b.  Press                                                          (three times rapidly)   

to start milking with stimulation.   

6.  Attach the cluster. 

(Very slow cows are milked with ACR deactivated.  To 
deactivate the ACR press the ACR Cancel key  (              ). 
 
The red LED glows, indicating that ACR is deactivated.  When 
  
the cow has finished milking, press the               key to shut off 
the vacuum and retract the cluster.) 

7.  Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each cow. 

While milking is in process, the milk yield appears in the display.  In addition, 
the milker can view the conductivity and additional cow information, as 
described in the following section.   

8. 

Cluster removal occurs when the milk flow rate drops below a predefined 

level.  The ACR function shuts off the vacuum and retracts the cluster. 

9. 

When all of the cows in the row are finished milking, release the 

cows and repeat the process starting from step 4.  The display is reset 
  
when               is pressed. 

 

WARNINGS: 

1.  Automatic cluster removal does not take place in this mode.  

Therefore, preventing over-milking—that is, manually 
stopping the milking—is the full responsibility of the milker. 

2. The 

Afi-lite

 milk meter does not automatically reset to ACR 

mode.  To restore ACR for the next cow, press the Cancel 
ACR key.  The red LED in the key turns off, indicating that 
ACR is activated.
