Locating the Automatic Feeder
3 Locating the Automatic Feeder
3.1 Local Electrical Connection
:
Refer installation of the local electrical connection to qualified electricians.
:
Observe local recommendations and protective measures. To operate the automatic fee-
der, it is demanded to install a fault--current circuit breaker (30 mA) in the main distribu-
tion frame.
:
The automatic feeder requires its own power supply: refer to chapter 2, page 7,
„Specifications of the Automatic Feeder“.
:
Observe rated voltage and rated frequency. The supply voltage indicated on the rating
plate of the automatic feeder must correspond to the one of the mains.
:
In case of overvoltage risk, install an overvoltage limiter in the local main distribution
frame.
For animals’ safety and to prevent electrical interferences, carry out an equipotential bon-
ding of all metal parts such as the water line, the feeding station, the race--way and the auto-
matic feeder. At the rear of the automatic feeder is located the connection screw for the
equipotential bonding which has to be connected to an earth circuit connector or to a local
earth electrode 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.
3.2 Installing 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).
:
A fence of planks protects the automatic feeder against dirt and flies.
:
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 suction hoses can be easily guided through a wall.
