Locating the Automatic Feeder
4 Locating the Automatic Feeder
4.1 Local Electrical Connection
:
The local electrical connection must be installed by qualified electricians.
:
Observe local regulations and protective measures. A fault--current circuit breaker (30
mA) in the local power supply is compulsory to operate the automatic feeder.
:
The automatic feeder requires its own power supply:
refer to chapter 2, page 19,
„Technical Data“.
:
Observe rated voltage and rated frequency. The rated voltage indicated on the nameplate
of the automatic feeder must correspond to the one of the mains supply.
:
In case of overvoltage risk, an overvoltage protector must be installed in the main distri-
bution frame.
For animals’ safety and to prevent electrical interferences, carry out equipotential bonding
of all metal parts such as water line, feeding station, race--way and automatic feeder. At the
rear of the automatic feeder is located the connection screw for the equipotential bonding. It
is imperative to connect this screw to a local earth plate, such as e.g. the earth circuit con-
nector, by means of a short coupling.
As it is technically impossible to protect the installation against lightning stroke separately,
it is to the owner to install an adequate lightning protection, such as e.g. a lightning protec-
tion system for the entire building. We recommend to conclude a lightning protection insu-
rance.
4.2 Locating the Automatic Feeder
:
The automatic feeder has to be placed in a dry location, if possible not in the animal area
(e.g. in the fodder storage or similar detached room).
:
Mount a fence of planks to protect the automatic feeder against dirt and flies. In summer,
when flies occur with increased frequency, you can use a large fly screen (accessory) to
protect the mixer jar. Steam can easily escape through the openings of the fly screen gra-
ting.
:
Make sure that the water supply of the automatic feeder is reliably constant.
:
Frost does not cause any damages to the automatic feeder. In order to ensure a good
functioning of the feeding process even in case of frost, you have to equip the automatic
feeder with a protection against frost (accessory). The owner is responsible for a reliable
water supply.
:
The feed pipes can be easily guided through a wall.
