6. Press
to save configuration and return to Run Screen.
Notes:
- Timer system must be enabled in order to energize the configured timer
relay.
- Press
to display timer events.
- Timer events with overlapping times occur as follows. Example - event 1 starts
at 10:15 for 25 minutes, event 2 starts at 10:25 for 25 minutes; relay turns on at
10:15, relay turns off at 10:25, relay turns on at 10:25, relay turns off at 10:50.
- Configure “0” duration time to disable any of the 10 timer events.
- Timers configured over 86399 seconds (seconds in a day) are not valid.
- If a timer is active (relay energized), the timer is NOT recalculated when the
5X00 time and/or date is changed. Once a timer has been turned on, it runs
for it’s configured duration and does not reset it’s run time based on changes
made to 5X00 time. Example - Timer 1, event 1 is configured to come on
at 9:00am for 10 minutes. Timer relay energizes at 9:00am. At 9:05am, the
5X00 unit time is changed to 10:05am (for daylight savings adjustment). The
timer relay will de-energize after five additional minutes. Unit time will be
10:10am. The event log will reflect the unit time when the event occurred. In
this example, 9:00am for the start time and 10:10am for the end time.
- If a timer is active (relay energized) and 5X00 is put on service hold, the relay
will not reenergize after service hold expires regardless if timer time has not
expired. There is only one “on” time for all timers. Turn the 5X00 off, then on,
to reset the timer system. A timer relay will energize for the configured time
duration and not for the remainder of time prior to service hold. Example -
timer relay 1 is configured to start at 11:00 am for one hour. Service hold is
enabled and configured for 5 minutes. The timer relay energizes at 11:00 am.
At 11:15 am, the 5X00 is put into service hold. Timer relay 1 de-energizes.
At 11:20 am, the service hold time expires. The 5X00 is power cycled and the
timer relay energizes after 30 seconds. The timer relay de-energizes at 12:20
pm and not at 12:00 pm which would have been the original off time if the
unit had not been placed in service hold.
- Energized timer relays de-energize at downloader. The relay will reenergize
after a power cycle following the downloader if the timer system is still active.
Timer relay will energize for entire configured duration time and not for the
remainder of time prior to being placed in downloader. There is only one “on”
time for all timers. Example - timer relay 1 is configured to start at 11:00 am
for one hour. The timer relay energizes at 11:00 am. At 11:15 am the 5X00 is
put into downloader. Timer 1 relay de-energizes. Timer 1 relay re-energizes
30 seconds after a power cycle following the downloader (at approximately
11:24 am). The timer relay de-energizes at 12:24 pm and not at 12:00 pm
which would have been the original off time if the unit had not been placed
in downloader.
Configuring the 5X00
- If power fails when a timer is energized and the power is restored when the
timer system is still active, the timer relay will energize for the timer dura-
tion and not for the remaining original timer cycle. Example - timer one is
configured to start at 10:40 for one hour. The power fails at 11:30. Power is
restored at 11:35. The timer will energize for one hour, not the remaining 5
minutes of the original timer cycle.
- When the timer relay is energized after the timer duration is changed, the timer
relay de-energizes and reenergizes for the newly configured duration and not
for the remaining original timer duration. Example - timer one is configured
to turn on at 8:30 am for 10 minute duration. Timer one relay energizes at
8:30 am. At 8:35 am, timer one duration is changed to 20 minute. Timer one
relay de-energizes at 8:35 am and re-energizes for the newly configured 20
minute duration.
- When the timer start time and duration are reconfigured and fall within the
current 5X00 unit time, the relay energizes for the entire duration. Example
- The 5X00 unit time is 8:30 am. Timer one is configured to turn on at 8:00
am for one hour. The timer relay will energize at exit to run screen and will
remain energized for one hour. The 5X00 does not use the system clock to
calculate duration in this case. The following day, the relay will energize at
8:00 am, and de-energize at 9:00 am.
- There is a 30 second delay at power up before timers become active.
- Timer relay off times drift by < .2%. when duration is longer than 5 minutes.
The drift increases the relay ‘on’ time.

Timer 1-4
The 5X00 has four feed timers. In order to configure feed timer(s) correctly, it is
important to understand how the 5X00 functions based on the feed timer configu-
ration. The Feed Smart
tm
Timer system must be calibrated prior to use. For proper
operation, the Feed Timer System requires the user to enter the total amount of
food to be dispensed, number of feedings to dispense the food, and a defined time
period within which the feedings will occur. The Feed Timer can be configured to
operate for any or all days of the week and includes continuous or timed feeding
modes, FCR (feed conversion ratio), and sensor options.

when any Feed Smart
tm
timer relay is energized.
The following definitions are used in regard to the Feed Smart
tm
Timer system:
- feed cycle - amount of time that all feeds occur in:
- continuous - feedings occur over 24 hour per day period;
- timed - feedings occur only between configured start and end times;
