TURNING THE SHEEP AUTO DRAFTER
OFF
At the end of each session you will want to turn the Sheep Auto Drafter off.
To turn the Sheep Auto Drafter off
1.
Press and hold the Power button (situated on the Control Bridge - see
Figure
18
) down for a couple of seconds.
•
The exit gate will open, the entry gate will shut, and the sorting unit
gates will move to the sides (if not there already).
Note:
If you have the E-Stop button pressed then the gates will stay
in their current positions.
•
If you are in Automatic Release Mode the Sheep Auto Drafter will
attempt to process any sheep in the unit before it switches off, (e.g.
if it is a weighing session and there is a sheep in the unit it will be
weighed and released). This process however will be affected by
where in the process the unit is when you press the power button,
(e.g. if you press it before the scale indicator has had a chance to
make a drafting decision, then the animal will be released out the
centre of the sorting unit).
•
Finally, the air supply to the gates will be switched off and the LED
lamps will turn off.
Notes:
•
If you want to stop all power use, (e.g. if you are using a battery to power
the unit and you want to save power), then you will need to disconnect the
power cable as well, or switch the power source off.
•
It is a good idea to make sure the caps are on the sockets where the
antennae cables emerge from the side panels at the RFID reader end when
the Sheep Auto Drafter is not in use. This will prevent dirt and moisture from
getting into the sockets.
