1 Features and Overview
X
The Batt-Latch is a
portable timer
which waits until a preset time and
week day, then mechanically releases an attached spring/bungy/tape gate
using its internal gearbox.
X
It can be incorporated into normal farming practice by swinging standard
or any other types of gates open and temporarily replacing them with the
Batt-Latch release unit, and a spring or tape gate.
X
The Batt-Latch is a valuable
labour-saving tool
for herd management,
and will also help
reduce pasture pugging, stock lameness
and
fuel
costs
.
X
The latest advances in technology have been harnessed to develop new
circuitry that uses less power to deliver an improved performance. The
integrated
solar panel
on the Batt-Latch maintains battery charge
without intervention, eliminating downtime for charging.
X
The already
rugged and dependable
polycarbonate body has been made
even more durable with refinements in design, and the use of a superior
waterproofing
gasket
.
X
The durable
webbing belt supplied
easily attaches the Batt-Latch to
posts and battens.
X
The keypad is
simple to use
and gives you total control and flexibility to
set up and
store four release events
at a time, for up to two weeks in
advance. The full message LCD display screen lets you know exactly what
you’ve programmed in.
X
With the increasing trend towards
feedpads
or
supplements
on most
farms, stock have an extra incentive to leave the paddock. No other
product will release the herd to a feedpad near the dairy at 3a.m, for
example,
saving hours of effort
every week.
