2 51 Teat not
found for
milking Deviation The robot failed to attach a
teatcup. The message includes the
cow number, cup number, and for
which teat the attachment failed. A) If you are present at the milking station,
wait until the robot has tried to reattach the
teatcup. If the robot does not succeed in
attaching the cup, the milking will be
classified as "Incomplete". This means that
the cow will be allowed to return for a new
milking in a short while.
B) To avoid a milking being classified as
Incomplete, do the following:
- Wait until the robot is supporting the milk
tubes.
- Then use the "Start milking" buttons on
the touch screen to attach the missing
cup(s) by hand. Note: never move teatcups
without using the stop/start buttons.
If milkings are classified as Incomplete
frequently, follow the advice for "Mixed and
corrected: Cup attached to teat" above
(major code 2, minor code 13). 2 51 Teat not

2 55 No camera
objects seen
during
attempt to
find teat Deviation While searching for teats, the
locations software could not find
any objects at all in the camera
picture. This is not normal
operating performance. If this rarely ever occurs, then no action is
required. If it occurs frequently, check that
the lasers are working and that the lower
arm can rotate around its axis. If either of
these fail, notify the service engineer.
Warning: Do not stare into the laser beams. 2 55 No camera
