3.2
Electrical connection provided by the customer
The automatic feeder needs its own power supply.
•
The power supply must meet the voltage and frequency specifications. The mains supply
must correspond to the supply voltage stated on the left side of the automatic feeder.
•
A residual current circuit breaker (30 mA) in the power supply provided by the customer is
compulsory for the operation of the automatic feeder.
•
Since it is not technically possible to protect the automatic feeder separately against light-
ning, you must inform the end user that he/she must provide the appropriate lightning pro-
tection (e.g. lightning protection system for the entire building).
•
Comply with the local regulations and safety precautions.
Potential equalization
To protect the animals and prevent electrical faults, all metallic objects, such as water pipes,
feeding station, stand partition and automatic feeder must be grounded. These locations are in-
dicated by the grounding label (see 2.4.4 "Safety signs" - 18). The connecting screw to ground
the automatic feeder is on the right-hand side of the machine housing, directly next to the elec-
trical connection cable. Connect this screw to the local ground via a short, flexible copper cable
(minimum cross-section of 4mm²).
