3.5.3.1 Light sensor
When using a light dimmer, the light can be controlled by a sen-
sor.
The light sensor is also used for alarming purposes.
Select which sensor type to use.
If
Other Sensor
is selected, it must be calibrated.
3.5.4 Feed control
3.5.4.1 Pan feeding
Stop feeding system if
cross auger is empty
Setting the max. time during which the last cross auger tank may be empty. The
controller will then stop the feeding process until the feed weigher has filled the tank
again.
Check consumption,
when animals are full
For time and quantity-controlled feeding with distribution.
Feeding stops when no consumption of feed has been registered during the indi-
cated time. Then the controller will check if the indicated amount has been reached.
Feeding pause
For time and quantity-controlled feeding with distribution.
After a feed auger stop, the auger will restart after the pause set, if the required
amount has not been reached.
Feed accept area
For time and quantity-controlled feeding with distribution.
When the feed amount reaches the desired amount minus
Feed accept range
, the
controller will stop.
Feed start / stop day
For time and quantity-controlled feeding with and without distribution, this control
type is used only between the start and stop days indicated. Otherwise, only time-
controlled feeding is used.
Min. feed correction
Max. feed correction
For time and quantity-controlled feeding with distribution. At the end of a feeding
process, the controller checks whether the quantity of feed allocated is higher or
lower than required for the entire feed period. If less feed than required has been al-
located, the controller corrects the feeding by adding a quantity which corresponds
to the deviation; however, not more than the
Max. feed correction
. Similarly, too
much feed will be deducted from the next feeding process; however, not more than
the
Min. feed correction
set.
Feed supplement
This function is intended for hens in an egg-laying production, and provides the op-
portunity to add, for example, eggshells to the feed on a set day number and time of
day.
