Partition period
• The amount to be dosed is calculated between two periods.
• WITH “Auto. partition period”
The total daily amount is divided over the preset number of
periods.
• WITHOUT “Auto. partition period”
An error message will be generated if the sum of the
percentages set under “Part” is less than 100%.
If you enter 100% for the last period under “Part”, the
shortage of the prior periods will be corrected in the last
dosing period.
• The dosed amount per period is listed under the last column (ml/d or g/d). If the amount to be dosed is
reached within the period, the time when the cycle has ended is shown under “Ready”.
•
If something has gone wrong in previous cycles, this will be corrected in the last cycle.
DOSAGE CURVES
If no growth curves have been installed for the climate control, you can set the day number of the dosing curve
here.
If the installer has activated the dosing curves, you can use programmable curves to have the amount of
water and/or feed per animal increase automatically as the animals grow older. The total amount is calculated
again every day using the curve settings, the current day number and the current number of animals in the
house.
In the dosage curve the amount per
animal per day can be set.
A curve can consist of a maximum of 15 breakpoints, the day number must be between 1 and 999. The current
day number is increased automatically at midnight.
NEST BOX TIMER
The PL-9400 has a timer with On/Off times to open or lock the nest boxes. The nest box can even be opened
and closed at intervals (according to a pulse-pause principle). Your installer sets the pulse-pause times, so that
the nest box will open and close at the speeds you require.
The nest box timer is switched on in accordance with a standard timer, see also “Timers”, page 29.
