Feeding

8.1.3.2 Ad libitum-mode

In the adlib-mode the automatic feeder operates without animal

identification. A portion is prepared whenever the bar electrode

is free. With several feeding stations the corresponding box

valves open at the same time.

8.1.3.3 Priority

Here you can give specific animals feeding priority:

Caution

: If the automatic feeder operates in the ad libi-

tum mode for a long time, the box valve will heat up con-

siderably. Therefore slip the suction hose directly on the

nozzle of the mixer jar and remove the female power

connector from the box valve. The same applies to an

automatic feeder which is equipped with two or more

box valves.

1 Female power connector

2 Box valve

Warning

: Deactivate all time-controlled cleaning

menus, otherwise it may happen that the cleaning water

is fed to the animals.
