Cellular
If your SmartFeed(s) came with a cellular modem, they will already be configured to

SIM card. No additional work is required.
For international customers, an activated 2FF “Mini SIM” card will be required. Please
ensure that the SIM card has a data plan allowance of at least 1GB per month of data.
For instructions on installing the SIM card, see Appendix B.
2.6.
Calibrating and Checking the Scale
It is recommended to recalibrate the scale any time the feed bin is removed or the
system is moved or repositioned.
It is recommended to check the scale for accuracy every time the bin is empty - or on
a weekly or monthly basis. This will ensure accurate readings.
SmartFeed operates on the principle of bin weight changes. If at any time, the
operator must change the amount of feed in the bin, it is important to mark that
event so that it’s not interpreted as unknown intake. To mark an event as an empty or
fill event, please see
Section 3, part 6g
.
