Manual Milking
Manual milking means that milking detachment operations are controlled directly by the milker, who
determines the time to detach the milking clusters by pressing key
. In this case, the ideal time to detach
is at the milker's discretion.
From detachment, and pressing the
key, will start automatic milking. The cylinder releases the milking
cluster and after counting the
Vacuum Delay
, the shut-off valve opens, the pulsator is activated and the
iMilk401 panel starts counting the milking time. Pressing the
key now moves on to manual milking.
During manual milking, the panel displays the letter M next to the milking indicator. Pressing the same key
once again takes you back to automatic mode.
On completion of milking, the milker determines when to detach the clusters from the animal. Pressing the
key starts the cluster removal procedure.
7.3 Alarms
7.3.1
Conductivity alarm
If the control is activated (
Conduct Control
parameter) in the event that conductivity of milk surpasses the
threshold set in the
Conductivity Thresh
, the display will show the wording “WARNING”. If conductivity
remains above the set level, the display will show “ALARM”.
NOTE
The conductivity alarm indicates that the milk produced by the animal may have problems,
which is usually linked to the onset mastitis A medical examination is anyhow essential to
diagnose the onset. The conductivity alarm only focuses attention on possible anomalies
encountered during milking and is not a diagnosis instrument in itself.
