level milk calibration measurement (on the total milked)
Instead of calibrating each panel, it is also possible to calibrate the total amount milked during the milking
session. Therefore, you need to compare the actual total from the tank with the value of each Portable
iMilk401. This value can be obtained in two ways:
1. If you have the DHM software, you simply have to go to Menu >> Report and select Monthly
Production. This way, it will display production for the month selected, divided into morning and
evening milking.
2. Alternatively, add up the amount of milk of each Portable iMilk401 after milking.
NOTE
In this second case, before milking, you are required to set the data of the previous milking to
zero, keeping the
key pressed on each Portable iMilk401.
Once the actual data and those of the Portable iMilk401 have been obtained, work out the difference of the
two values and divide it by the number of animals milked.
The value obtained will be the average error of each animal. To calibrate, change the
Milk Meter Calib
parameter as follows:
-
Each dot corresponds to approximately 0.35Kg (±10%)
-
If the panel measurement is higher than the actual value, decrease the parameter value
-
If the panel measurement is lower than the actual value, increase the parameter value

Let’s hypothesize that you have milked 100 animals, the average error per animal will be:

Each panel OVERVALUES by 1.71Kg per animal
You need to DECREASE the
Milk Meter Calib
parameter by 5 dots.

9.3 Temperature calibration
For perfect calibration, compare the level indicated by the panel with the value read by a thermometer. Then
increase (or decrease) the
Temper Calib
parameter value by the amount of dots that iMilk401 undervalues
(or overvalues)
EXAMPLE
If the iMilk401 panel reads a value of 37.5°C and the thermometer reads 36.4°C, decrease the
Temper
Calib
parameter by 1.1
37.5 − 36.4 = 1.1
