Putting the unit into service 4.1 Putting the unit into service Notes on installation > Keep the distance between the antenna and the transmitter as small as possible. > Only the animal to be identified in the box is permitted to be within the range of the antenna. > Check the range of the antennas using the antenna test (see 5 Diagnosis, page 21). > If an animal entitled to feed is outside the feeding box, but within in the range of the antenna, a portion might be prepared that the animal will not receive. If necessary, block the area next to the feeding box. If two animals are identified simultaneously by one antenna, animal identification is interrupted for both animals. > The distance between two antennas should be approx. 100 cm to avoid any range overlapping. In the event of double or external identification, the antennas will need to be shielded using earthed metal plates. 4.2 Squelch values and identification ranges The approx. range of the antennas is 15 - 25 cm. The antenna version is decisive for the identification range. With Nedap micro-identification, you can set the range via the squelch value. The squelch values and the identification ranges for the various identification systems are listed in the following table. These squelch values are based on experience and are set at the factory. 15 16 Putting the unit into service System Collar (X responder system) Earmark in the collar Earmark Squelch (default values) Identification range 20 - 25 cm 15 - 18 cm 15 - 18 cm (Nedap system) Earmark in the collar earmark (Tiris system) 4.3 Installing the multi-identification unit The multi-identification unit can be fastened at three different positions to the Flex100 partition: • Front plate • Left side • Right side Note If mounted at the side, the height of the identification unit can be adapted to the position of the transponder. Note If X-Responders are used, it is recommended to mount the multi-identification unit with the bracket (optional) on the front plate. Putting the unit into service 4.3.1 On front plate 4.3.1.1 Without bracket Proceed as follows for the installation: 1. Place the antenna box on the front plate, in the centre. Please make sure that: • The flat side faces upwards, • The upper edge of the antenna box is flush with the lower edge of the recess on the front plate. 2. Fasten the antenna box to the front plate using the screws enclosed (see figure). 3. Drill a hole into the front plate directly beneath the antenna box and feed the antenna cable through it. Attention Make sure the antenna cable is installed outside the animal area to prevent it from being damaged. 17 18 Putting the unit into service 4.3.1.2 With bracket (optional) 1. Fasten the bracket from the rear to the antenna box using the screws and washers enclosed to the scope of delivery of the bracket. 2. Screw the antenna box to the antenna cover using the remaining screws and washers. 3. Place the antenna box on the front plate, in the centre. Please make sure that: • The flat side faces upwards, • The upper edge of the antenna box is flush with the lower edge of the recess on the front plate. 4. Fasten the antenna box to the front plate using the screws enclosed (the drill holes are already pre-drilled on the bracket). 5. Drill a hole into the front plate directly beneath the antenna box and feed the antenna cable through it. Attention Make sure the antenna cable is installed outside the animal area to prevent it from being damaged. Putting the unit into service 4.3.2 On the left or right in the Flex100 partition Proceed as follows for the installation: 1. Before attaching the antenna, drill the opening for the cable at the position displayed below. 2. Fasten the antenna box to the side part of the feeding box using the screws enclosed so that the flat side faces the rear (see figure). 3. Feed the antenna cable through the cable opening that you drilled before. Attention Make sure the antenna cable is installed outside the animal area to prevent it from being damaged. 19 20 4.4 Putting the unit into service Connecting the multi-identification unit to the main board 1 Cable of the hand-held terminal 3 Antenna cable of feeding station 2 2 Antenna cable of feeding station 1 4 Cable clamps Danger due to live electrical components! Live electrical components. Danger of death by electric shock! • Always disconnect the mains plug before starting any work on the control box of the automatic feeder. 1. Remove the housing cover from the control box. 2. There are two more cable sleeves under the cable sleeve for the hand terminal cable. Push the antenna cables through them into the control box. 3. Connect the cables of the multi-identification unit / antenna to the main board in accordance with the wiring diagram. 4. Fasten the wiring looms to the cable brides. Attention To ensure earthing, you must also connect a shield of approx. 1 cm (if available). Make sure that the shield lies on the sheath and not on the cable insulation. 5. Connect the control box. Diagnosis 21 Diagnosis The Diagnosis menu of the automatic feeder is for checking the multi-identification unit and its functions. It facilitates trouble- Diagnosis Valves Motors shooting if there is a technical problem with the multi-identification unit. The menus relevant for the multi-identification unit are available via the following menu path: Heating Sensors Stations Control > Diagnosis >Boxes 5.1 Version Checking the feeding boxes You can check whether the identification of the feeding box Station works here. Feed Concentrate 1. > Diagnosis > Stations > Feed > Feeding station 1... 2. To check the identification (antenna test), hold the transmitter near the antenna. The transmitter number is displayed in the No. line. If the transmitter number is not recognised, proceed as follows: 1. Check in the setup whether the correct identification system is configured. No.ǂ: 11456 Pump: start? Teat slider: open? C.Protect: close? Feed sensor: active Motor pulses: 22 Control: IFS-F 1 Animal scales search? 2. Check the data line between antenna and automatic feeder for damage. 3. Check the setup for the allocation of the box that causes identification problems. 22 Diagnosis Warnings 23 Warnings Warnings indicate problems that do not interrupt the automatic operation of the automatic feeder. Warnings are indicated by the LED flashing on the hand terminal of the automatic feeder. Some warnings disappear when the fault has been rectified. Some need to be (additionally) deleted by pressing 6.1 Identification If the identification system is not working, this message appears Warning on the display: Identification > Check the cables leading to the antenna for any visible dam- age (example: animal bites). > Also check that the (correct) antenna is activated. The warning is automatically deleted when the fault has been rectified. No connection 24 Warnings Maintenance Maintenance The visual inspection of the components can be conducted by the owner/operator. Repair work must always be performed by a service technician. 7.1 Maintenance intervals and activities Note If you detect any faults or damage to the multi-identification unit between the maintenance intervals recommended below, you must make sure they are rectified immediately by a service technician as required. 7.1.1 Daily Visual inspection of the components All components must be checked visually every day for damage and deposits. If any damage is detected during the visual inspection, the faulty components have to be replaced by a service technician before work can be resumed with the multi-identification unit. 7.2 Care Do not spray-wash! Water (liquids) can damage electrical components. • Do not spray-wash the multi-identification unit. Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or similar equipment either. • To clean the multi-identification unit, only wipe it with a damp cloth. You should have dirt removed from the multi-identification unit from time to time. However, soiling does not have any negative effects on the identification results. 25 26 Maintenance
