5.2 Starting a New Flock
Starting a new flock allows clearing all history menus associated
with the previous flock. The following steps show how to enter the
initial age and number of birds and how to enable the flock. Make
sure the feed distribution is enabled in the selected house before
starting the new flock (s. 5.5.3).
1- Select the
"5.Start Flock"
menu of
the desired house then press the right-
arrow key. The initial age is displayed.
Use the adjustment buttons to set it
to the desired value.
2- Press the down-arrow key. The initial
number of males flashes on the dis-
play. Use the adjustment buttons to
set the initial number of males.
3- Press the down-arrow key. The initial number of females flashes
on the display. Use the adjustment buttons to set the number of
female.
4- Press the down-arrow key. The message
"Start Flock?"
flashes
on the display.
5- Press "+" to start the new flock. The posted answer "
Yes
" is
displayed for a 20 second delay then the displays returns to "
No
".
The new flock is now created. The previous history has been cleared.
If 2 houses are used, proceed the same way to start a new flock in
the other house.
All histories are cleared when a new flock starts,
except for the alarm log and bin histories.
It is recommended to check the scale's accuracy
between each flock.

ber. Relays are displayed in relation
with the chosen module.
Select the proper TRB box and the relay for each activated output:

- output auger(s);
- feed drop(s)*;
- clock output(s) (up to 8 relays can
be assigned per clock output);

must set the status of the last drop's
relay module to "None".
