Sleep Mode
In cold environments, sleep mode is used to protect Afimilk MPC meters. Sleep mode
keeps Afimilk MPC control panels warm by maintaining the circuit under power, without
activating the valve and pulsation outputs.
Setup
To enable Sleep mode
SM
parameter is set to the delay time for entering this mode.
Delay time may be set to 15 to 99 minutes (The default value of
SM
is 0 = Sleep Mode
disabled ).
SM
parameter is in parameters group 2 (system parameters). Refer to either one of the
changing parameters chapters above (From AfiFarm OR directly at the control box) for
exact setting instructions of
SM
.
Operation
If Sleep mode is enabled, Afimilk MPC shuts its output down automatically after a delay
time without electronic input OR keyboard being pressed.
Afimilk MPC returns to its normal operation and display if:
o
Any keyboard button is pressed
o
Any communication message from the
afimilk
computer
o
A “Session Start” command sent from the PC
NOTE
To operate Sleep Mode ensure that power to the milk meters
stays ON between milking sessions even when vacuum and milk
pumps are off!
