Running the automatic feeder
75
•
The automatic feeder dispenses milk only [
MP/milk
]
> Milk empty stop
.
•
The amount of milk specified in the feeding plan is channeled from the storage container
into the heat exchanger, heated up and dispensed into to the mixer jar.
•
The mixer mixes this portion into a homogenous liquid.
You set the feeding mode as follows:
1. Press
> Device data > Operating modes > Feed
.
2. Choose
MP
or
MP/milk
.
Note:
If you choose
MP/milk
, further menus are displayed.
3. In [
MP/Milk
], choose
Milk empty stop
for pure milk mode and
MP
to feed MP feed when
the milk tank is empty.
4.
Stop
. When the milk tank is empty, the automatic feeder automatically switches completely
off.
Your calves will not receive any feed if feeder operation is interrupted. This can
lead to malnutrition. Malnutrition can cause impaired growth and development, increased
susceptibility to illness or even the death of your calves. You must immediately refill an emp-
ty milk tank or use an alternative method to provide your calves with feed.
5.
MP
. When the milk tank is empty, the automatic feeder switches to MP mode.
Your calves will not receive any feed if feeder operation is interrupted. This can
lead to malnutrition. Malnutrition can cause impaired growth and development, increased
susceptibility to illness or even the death of your calves. You must ensure that the storage
container for milk substitute is always filled with milk substitute.
6. In
Dry matter
, you enter the desired value for the milk substitute. You can enter values be-
tween 5 g and 255 g. The default value is 150 g.
7. The degree of milk dry matter is compared to the concentration plan every day. If the feed
concentration in the concentration plan is greater than the DS content of the milk, then MP
will be added to the mixer jar until the set concentration is reached. If the concentration is
lower than the DS content of the milk, then the milk or milk/MP feed mixture will be diluted
with water.
8. In
Draining
, you specify how long a warm portion of milk should remain ready for consump-
tion in the stainless steel coil of the heat exchanger before it is replaced with a water portion.
