Some equations may change without notice and are influenced by
seasonal differences. If you are unsure of the current equation contact
Dairy NZ or your local consultant.
To enter your own cover equation or one that may have been recommended by a
third party, such as your consultant, Dairy NZ or Beef + Lamb New Zealand, please
do the following:

While the plate meter is switched on, hold down the “Formula” button. The
display looks like this: “F--d”. Press the formula button again briefly - then
change the “d” (default) to “c” (custom). Now press “Reset” briefly and the
display will look like this: “0---” This is the first of two numbers you will enter.
The first number is the equation “add” number and the second the “multiply
number. For example, in equation 2 above, the first number (115) is the
“multiply” number and the second (850) is the “add” number.
