Commissioning
•
Set up the automatic feeder in a location where the temperature cannot exceed 40°C and
the humidity cannot exceed 80%.
•
Always set up the automatic feeder on an even surface.
Note:
Using its adjustable feet, if necessary, you can level the automatic feeder.
•
Make sure that there is a drain where the automatic feeder is set up, for the cleaning water.
•
It is recommended that a drain be fitted at the feeding station below the teat for draining of
extra feed and cleaning water.
•
Protect the automatic feeders and all corresponding cables from exposure to sunlight.

Water connection
1 Water connection
•
When connecting the automatic feeders, observe the national regulations about the protec-
tion of drinking water.
•
Use a separate water shutoff valve to supply water to the automatic feeder.
•
Make sure the water pressure is consistent.
•
The water pressure must be at least 2.5 bar and must not exceed 6 bar. If the water pressure
of 2.5 bar cannot be insured, then retool the water tank (optional).
Note:
If you retool the water tank, the standard water valve of the automatic feeder is re-
placed by a low-pressure valve. For this reason, after retooling has been carried out, the au-
tomatic feeder must be supplied with water via the water tank.
Note:
The water pressure may fall during operation if the cross-section of the water pipe is
small. The same applies to water pipes from which water is extracted simultaneously at dif-
ferent points.
NOTICE!
Please bear in mind that high calcium, iron and manganese concentrations can cause
premature wear of the components. In these cases it makes sense to install appropriate
filtration systems.
