TARGET ECO I FEEDING
•
Use Feed Gap Delay?
A delay can be used to put an end to the
cleanout period as soon as the feed line
becomes empty (instead of having to wait
for the end of the Cleanout period). Select
“Yes” if you want to use this delay or se-
lect “No” to disable this function.
Accessible if a proximity sensor is enabled above.
•
Proxy Switch Contact Type:
Select the type of contact used by all prox-
imity sensors: normally open (NO) or nor-
mally closed (NC). By default, this param-
eter is set to “NO”.
•
Ration History
Select which information you want to see
in the ration history menu:
- Run time of each ration feeder;
- Feed consumption of each ration.
•
Weight units
If the consumption history is enabled
above, choose the desired units of mea-
surement used to display the amount of
feed: pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg).
•
Rations #1-8:
Adjust the following parameters for each
ration in use.
Rest Period:
Specify the duration of the rest period.
This delay represents the time required
for animals to eat the feed ration. It
can be adjusted from 0 to 8 hours.
Use Cleanout Auger?
Select “Yes” if a cleanout auger is used.
Cleanout Time:
Specify the duration of the cleanout
period (0 to 4 hours).
Maximum Run Time:
If proximity sensors are used, the Max
Run Time represents the run time over
which an alarm is triggered: the alarm
is generated when no feed is detected
in the line over the Maximum Run Time
delay. This type of alarm generally oc-
curs when a bin is empty. Set the Max
Run Time alarm limit to the desired value
(from 1 minute to 8 hours).
Note that if the controller uses many
proximity sensor, the proximity sensor
used to monitor the Maximum Run Time
is the one associated with the current
ration (from 1 minute to 8 hours).
If proximity sensors are not used, the
Max Run Time represents the period of
time required to fill-up the drops. Feed
cycles stop at the end of this delay. Set
the maximum run time of each ration
separately.

Time Clock Settings
The controller has 8 timer outputs to con-
trol various devices using the real-time
clock. Each outputs can use up to 24 start
and stop times.
Select
7. Time clocks*
* Available if time clock outputs are enabled (s.
5.3).
• Select a clock output
The following parameters are associated
with the chosen clock output and must be
set separately for each clock output in use.
•
Set the start and stop times for all
24 cycles of the selected clock output. If
24 cycles are not necessary, set the start
and stop times of unused cycles to the same
value.
