6.2.3. Programming Time Clocks
Augers and feed lines operate in timer mode
using time clocks. This section explains how
to set the start and stop (or run) times of
these time clocks. Refer to section 6.1.3 for
further information about time clocks (feed-
ing cycles).
Make sure each time clock is assigned
to an auger or feed line.
Refer to the Installation Report section
of this manual to write down all informa-
tion regarding your time clocks (output
assignment, start & stop times). See
chapter 12.

run times to 0:00.
Follow Skip a Day? —
If the selected time
clock is used to control a feed line, the output
can operate following the skip-a-day sched-
ule. Select "Yes" to use this function. *
This
function only works with feed lines.
Start / Stop / Run Times —
Set the time at
which each cycle starts and stops or runs
(depending on the chosen clock mode (sec.
5.3)). Note that the time at which the output
stops cannot precede the start time and can-
not go past midnight.
6.3. Manual Distribution of
Feed
It is possible to activate a bin auger manually
in order to feed the animals between two
feed cycles. Activating a bin auger manually
is only possible when the auger's bin is not
sending feed to any other auger.
1. From the main menu, select:
» 3. House
» 6. Manual Mode
» x. Select the desired auger
Auger 1 Manual Mode
Status: On
Amount Fed 0 kg
2. Set the following parameters:
Status —
Select "On" to activate the auger,
select "Off" to stop it or select "Auto" to go
back to the automatic control mode. *
The auger
can only be activated manually if its bin is not cur-
rently sending feed to any other auger.
Amount Fed —
This is the amount of feed
that has been sent since the beginning of the
day. This value is automatically defined by the
controller; it cannot be modified.
