Use this mode when you would like to run the unit yourself. The entry will still automatically
let animals in and hold them in the unit, but you will be in control of when they are released
and the direction they are released in.
To hold an animal in the Sheep Handler
You can use either the remote or the control box to manage the release function if you
would like to hold an animal in the unit. This is useful if you want to examine an animal or
use the roll over function to treat the animal.
The unit will capture the animal and hold until you release the animal with the remote or
clamp release button the control box.
The RED LED mode lamp will be lit when in this mode.
Once you have dealt with the animal hold the clamp release button until the animal is clear
this will hold the clamp open while the sheep is released, the main clamp will stay open
once the sheep has been seen by the exit sensor. The clamp will then capture the next
animal.
