LIBERTY® Feeding System with Electronic Sensor (ES)
LIBERTY Feeder Management and Operation
37
Feed texture and consistency, type of bird, or other variables may make it necessary to change to
another feed setting position. The combination of proper pan height, feeder setting, and feeder oper-
ation will result in optimum feeder performance. The operator will learn what performs best for his/her
situation with experience.
End Control and Mid line Control Pans
At installation time, the end control pan of the feeder
was placed to be 10 feet (3 m) from the end of the
building to allow the birds access around the end of
the feeder line. It is important the that feed setting of
the end control pan be the same as the rest of the
feeder pans so the birds can activate the feeder.
The Midline control is placed on the feeder line when
partial house brooding is desired. It is important that
the Midline control be installed at least 2 feeder pans
away from the curtain or partition so the birds will acti-
vate the feeder line. The feed setting for the Midline
control should be the same as the rest of the feeder
pans on the feeder line. A toggle switch or disconnect
is used to bypass the power to the Midline control. This allows the Midline control to serve as a stan-
dard feeder after brooding. The feeder can be changed from full house operation to partial house
brooding with the activation of the switch.
Control Pans utilize the manual ALL-OUT™ FLOOD
MANUAL OPERATION
The feeder flood can be operated, without cables and lift cords. DAY 1 Raise the feed cone to the top of travel
and rotate the feed cone, this will lock the feed cone in the All-Out flood position. DAY 3-5 Lower the feed
cone by reversing the process.
Controlling the Feeders (optional equipment)
A time clock control is used with the feeding system to reduce excessive feeder operation time and
limit feed wastage. The basic use of a time clock control is to allow periods of time during the day for
the birds to reduce the feed level in the feeder pans and to limit the possibility of the birds creating a
high feed level and wasting feed. This is not to be confused with lighting programs that have become
very common place. If lighting or intermittent lighting programs are to be used, the use of the time
clock control will be limited to just the light period.
Caution should be used to not restrict the feed
from the birds during the light period.
Experience with the feeding system will determine how the
time clock control is used.
The LIBERTY Feeding System may be controlled by the #34385 Control Panel or the #34574 Time
Clock Control. Refer to the instructions supplied with each control for information.
Electro-guard Operation
The electro-guard chargers should be wired on a separate electrical circuit so the anti-roost system
can be shut off using a switch next to the entrance door when someone enters the building. Birds are
less likely to become wild and flighty if the anti-roost is off when people are in the building.
