Faults and warnings
9.2.2
Mixer temperature sensor
If the temperature sensor in the mixer beaker is faulty or the temperature of the mixed feed in
the mixer beaker drops below 0°C, the
Mixer temp. sensor warning
will appear in the display.
You rectify the warning as follows:
1. Use a ohmmeter to measure the voltage at the input of the temperature sensor on the board.
Compare the measured value with the value in the circuit diagram, and if it is different, re-
place the temperature sensor (see the machine circuit diagram).
9.2.3
Identification
If animal identification is not working,
Warning, identification
will appear in the display.
You rectify the warning as follows:
1. Check the cables leading to the antenna. Repair any damage or replace the cables or an-
tennas.
9.2.4
Incorrect ID
All CAN nodes have a unique ID which cannot be changed. The ID is used to automatically
check that the right participant reports on the CAN address. If this is not the case, it is possible
for the feeder and the participant to communicate, but there will be no proper data exchange.
Warning, Incorrect ID
appears in the display.
You rectify the warning as follows:
1. Check all CAN addresses.
2. Switch the feeder on and hold the button
until the setup menu appears on the display.
3. Navigate to
Setup > Boxes
and check the
CAN addresses
of the individual CAN nodes.
4. To exit setup, repeatedly press
, until the message
End setup?
appears. Confirm with
.
If IDs have changed, e.g., for reasons of compatibility, you must update all CAN nodes. To do
this, use an SD card or FlashManagerPlus.
9.2.5
Address used twice
If two or more nodes are linked together in a bus system, it can happen that a CAN address is
issued twice.
Warning, duplicate address
appears in the display.
You rectify the warning as follows:
1. Confirm the
Warning, duplicate address
using
.
The CAN participant with the duplicate address will be displayed.
2. Choose
Setup > Boxes
to open the sub-menu shown in the display with the duplicate ad-
dress.
