Active only if the ‘Hopper max. level sensor’ is connec ted to Xfarm
(see Feeding config. par. D.C): defines the delay in activating the
hopper auger after the feed sensor start signal.
To avoid frequent on-off working of the silo auger due to the action
of the max level hopper sensor, this value has to be set according
to the time required by the feed hopper to become empty when
feeding lines are working.
In this way the hopper is being loading only when it’s really empty.
Feeders stop during silos loading? Yes-No.
Number of minutes the lights are turned off for during meal
