First Time Operation
The following Pulsation ratios are available: 55:45, 57:43, 60:40, 63:37, 65:35, 67:33, and
70:30.
Additional set of pulsation ratio is available for those using inverted pulsators:
45:55,43:57,40:60,37:63, 35:65,33:67,30:70.
FCP Programs – Flow controlled pulsation
A pulsation curve, known as Flow Control Pulsation (FCP), may be set to adjust pulsation
rate and pulsation ratio automatically according to the milk flow rate. If an FCP curve is
enabled, a low milk flow rate has a faster pulsation and lower ratio than high flow rate. As
the flow rate increases and decreases during milking, pulsation rate and pulsation ratio
change accordingly. Four FCP curves are available. As the table below illustrates, each
Curve column lists 8 ranges of flow rates corresponding with pulsation rate and ratio
(
Example: Curve1 pulsation at flow rate between 2.0-2.5kg/minute will be 58ppm at 63/37
ratio )
PPM Ratio Curve 1 Curve 2 Curve 3 Curve 4

53 70/30 3.5 – 4.0 4.0 – 4.5 4.5 – 5.0 5.0 – 5.5
52 73/27 4.0 – 4.5 4.5 – 5.0 5.0 – 5.5 5.5 – 6.0
51 74/26 4.5 – 5.0 5.0 – 5.5 5.5 – 6.0 6.0 – 6.5
50 75/25 5.0 + 5.5 + 6.0 + 6.5 +
PreMilk Stimulation
Machine Pre-Milk stimulation is adopted in specific farms. It is designed to stimulate
udders for milking at very fast pulsation rate.
There are three parameters that control pre- milking stimulation:
Stimulation Duration
–time of stimulation prior to switching to milking pulsation. May be set
to 0 (disabled), or 1-99 seconds (Enabled).
Stimulation Pulsation rates
- Values available: 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250 or 300
pulses per minute.
Stimulation Pulsation
ratios – Values available: 60:40, 75:25, 25:75, and 40:60 .
