Enter
Min. Temp. 0
in order to disable the minimum temperature parameter.
4. After entering the temperature, check that the portion is being prepared with the set tem-
perature.
Note:
The values that you have entered for set and minimum temperature will be converted to
the set and minimum temperature of the boiler water. If the temperature of the boiler water falls
below the minimum temperature, the feed preparation will be interrupted until the minimum tem-
perature has been reached again.
4.6.3.2
Dispensing pause
To lengthen the time to prepare the feed, a dispensing pause can be set. As the preparation of
a portion starts, the feed station valves will close and stay closed until the dispensing pause is
over.
We recommend entering a dispensing pause for:
•
milk substitutes with poor solubility,
•
very high concentrations (> 200 g/l),
•
extreme calf drinking speeds (> 2 l/min).
You set the dispensing pause as follows:
1. Navigate via
> Device data
to the
Portion
sub-menu.
2. In
Dispensing pause
enter the required value in seconds, from 1-16. The default value is 0.
4.6.3.3
Portion output for entitlement less than 250 ml
If the
SynchroFeed
-functionality (optional) of the automatic feeder is used, for technical rea-
sons the feeder cannot output any portions less than 250 ml. In the event that an animal has
drunk the contents of the mixer and still has a small remaining entitlement of less than 250 ml,
then there are two options:
•
no portion will be prepared for the animal (default setting:
no
)
•
A portion of 250 ml will be prepared for the animal. In this way, the animal will get up to 100%
of his feed, but will receive a bit more feed (for box with valve) or a small remaining portion
(250 ml - remaining entitlement of the animal in ml) stays in the mixer beaker (for box with
hose pump).
You can define the amount as follows:
1. Navigate via
> Device data
to the
Portion
sub-menu.
2. In
Amount < 250 ml
, select either
yes
or
no
and confirm with
