3.9.2 Setting the parameters for the parallel mode
3.9.2.1 Portion dispense with entitlement less than 250 ml
For technical reasons the automatic feeder is not able to prepare
portions less than 250 ml. If an animal has drunk up the mixer
contents and the quantity to which it is still entitled is less than
250 ml, there are two possible scenarios:
•
no portion is prepared for the animal (default setting: no )
•
a 250 ml-portion is prepared for the animal. With it the animal
achieves a 100 % consumption, but it obtains insignificantly
more feed (in the case of station with valve) or a small quan-
titly (250 ml - remaining entitlement of the animal in ml) re-
mains in the mixer jar (in the case of station with hose pump).
1. > device data > portion > qty < 250 ml
2. Select in qty < 250 ml either yes or no and confirm with .
3.9.2.2 Tolerance values for concentration and milk ratio
If the SynchroFeed-function of the automatic feeder is used, the
animals in the stations which are operated in parallel are simul-
taneously fed with the portion prepared in the mixer jar (see
8.1.2.2 Parallel mode (SynchroFeed), page 104 ). If different
concentration or milk ratio values are assigned to two animals
fed in parallel, the tolerance value for concentration or milk ratio
decides about whether both animals are allowed to drink simul-
taneously or not.
Note: the first feed portion is always mixed with slightly
warmer water in accordance with ambient temperature.
