The cow has left the stall, and the
exit gate has been closed after a

Cow still in stall" or "Failed to close
stall. Cow still in the stall" event. None required. 4 1 Cow has left

4 100 Failed to
close gate
while closing
stall User
notification The system could not close the
entrance or exit gate when trying
to perform a "close stall" or
"release and close" operation. This
has occured despite sveral retries
and "tricks" to outsmart the cows
that obstruct the gate(s).
The gate that did not close
properly has been left open, and
the system has been halted to
obtain a safe state. Remove any obstructing cows from the
milking station's entrance and exit gates
and put the station in automatic mode.
If this problem occurs often (several times a
week), make sure that the entrance and exit
gate close fast enough. It should not take
more than 3 seconds between the events
"start closing entrance/exit gate" and
"entrance/exit gate is fully closed". If the
gates close too slowly, the cows will loose
their respect for the gates and hence start
blocking them.
If the closing of the gates takes more than 3
seconds, let a service engineer adjust the
speed of the gates. 4 100 Failed to

Service engineer only:
- Adjust the speed of the gates.
Note: The gates are properly configured
when leaving the factory. Please do not
change these settings during the installation.
- If the adjustment does not solve the
problem, press the "Save Logfiles" button
on the touch screen ("Miscellaneous
Service" window) as soon as possible after
the error.

has occurred despite serveral
retries and "tricks" to outsmart the
cows that obstruct the gate(s).
The entrance gate (or in rare
cases, the exit gate) has been left
open and the system has been
halted to obtain a safe state. See "Failed to close gate while closing
stall", major code 4, minor code 100 above.
If this problem occurs extremely often
(every cow or similar), the "entrance gate is
closed" sensor might be out of operation. In
this case, contact service engineer. 4 101 Failed to
