Locating the Automatic Calf Feeder
3 Locating the Automatic Calf Feeder
3.1 Local Electrical Connection
:
Refer installation of the local electrical connection to qualified electricians.
:
Observe local recommendations and protective measures. To operate the automatic calf
feeder, it is demanded to install an earth leak switch (30 mA) in the local power
supply.
:
The automatic calf feeder requires its own power supply:
refer to chapter 2, page 13,
„Specifications“.
:
Observe rated voltage and frequency. The rated voltage indicated on the nameplate of the
calf feeder must correspond to the one of the mains supply.
:
In case of overvoltage risk, install an overvoltage limiter in the local main distribution
frame.
For animals’ safety and to prevent electrical interferences, carry out an earth bonding of all
metal parts such as water line, sucking station, race--way and automatic calf feeder. At the
rear of the calf feeder is located the connection screw for the earth bonding which has to be
connected to earth, such as e.g. an equipotential busbar, by means of a short coupling.
As it is technically impossible to protect the installation against lightning stroke separately,
it is to the owner to install an adequate lightning protection, such as e.g. a lightning protec-
tion system for the entire building. We recommend to conclude a lightning protection
insurance.
3.2 Installing the Automatic Calf Feeder
:
It is advisable to place the calf feeder in a dry location, if possible, not in the animal area
(e.g. in the fodder storage or similar detached room).
:
A fence of planks protects the automatic calf feeder against dirt and flies. In summer,
when flies occur with increased frequency, you can protect the mixer jar, the milk
powder and the additive outlet by means of a large fly protection (accessory). Steam can
easily escape through the openings of the fly screen grating.
:
Frost does not cause any damages to the automatic calf feeder. In order to ensure a good
functioning of the feeding process even in case of frost, you have to equip the calf feeder
with an equipment for protection against frost (accessory). The owner is responsible for
a reliable water supply.
:
The suction hoses can be easily guided through a wall.
:
If possible, place the milk storage tank next to the automatic calf feeder.
