Setting up the Micro M5

Before it can be used, the Micro M5 must be setup. This is outlined in the following pages.

The Keypad

There are 24 keys on the keypad. 5 are for editing animal data - Flags, Cursor, Page, Browse and Quick Sort - 
the Recall key allows the user to see which animals are in which stalls in the parlour, the Feed / Milk key 
provides a simple single key which is used to place an animal in a stall. The Attn key allows the user to view 
attentions from the parlour. The Step and Side keys allow the user to move between stalls in the parlour and 
enter animals, and the remaining function keys are Cancel, Enter and Shift.

There are a number of keys that are dual function with the use of the Shift key - these provide the user the 
ability to enter alpha-numeric brand numbers. The other function of the key is shown in the grey box at the 
top of the key. 

The keypad is constructed from a tough membrane overlaying individual key switches. This is a proven, 
reliable construction which will last for many years provided it is cleaned only with warm soapy water and not 
hosed down at high pressure.

The Display

The display has three areas. The Animal Brand area shows the current animal brand. Animal Total area 
shows the currently selected total, the Stall Number area shows the current stall number.

The Micro M5 Control is very energy efficient; power saving was an important element of the design criteria.
