- feed duration - length of time feeder relay is energized;
- feed interval - length of time between feedings.
Optional Sensor control reduces the amount of food dispensed if DO or temperature
measurements are “out of range” per user defined configuration. The FCR (feed
conversion ratio) feature automatically computes and increases the daily amount
of food dispensed per FCR configuration.
Notes:
- It is important that the 5X00 be configured with valid data. The feeder system
will not operate properly if, for example, the daily weight of food is greater
than can be dispensed in the defined feed cycle.
- Disable the feed timer system when changing configuration and/or when
performing a calibration. Enable the feed timer system after configuration
changes and/or calibration has been done. The feed timer system recalculates
duration and interval times based on the new configuration. Press
after disabling the feed timer system and before making configuration/cali-
bration changes.
Feed Mode
Continuous
Menus → Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→Feed Mode →Continuous
When the feed timer is configured for continuous feed mode, feedings occur through-
out the day. Feed duration and interval are determined by the daily total weight of
food, number of feedings, and test calibration data. Optional Sensor control and
FCR configuration can also effect feed duration.
Notes:
- Once Continuous feed has been configured, the 5X00 determines any remain-
ing feeds for the 24 hour period ending at 23:59. In continuous feed mode,
the feed cycle always begins at 00:00 (midnight). Start and End time fields
are not available for Continuous feed mode.
- In continuous feed mode, feeding(s) will end after the last completed feeding
that ends prior to 11:59 pm (23:59) of an enabled day when crossing midnight
to a disabled day. Feeding(s) will resume at 12:00 am (00:00) for the next
enabled day.
Timed
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→Feed Mode →Timed
Feedings occur only during the start and end times on “enabled” days of the week.
In timed mode, the 1st feeding occurs at the start time of the feed cycle. The last
feeding completes by the end time. Feed duration and interval are determined by
the daily total weight of food, number of feedings, and test calibration data. Optional
Sensor control and FCR configuration also effect feed duration.
Notes:
- If a timed feed cycle includes feed times that cross midnight, the feed cycle
ends prior to 11:59 pm (23:59) of the enabled day when crossing midnight
to a disabled day. Feeding(s) will resume on next enabled day. Example - if
Tues through Sat are enabled days and the start time is configured for 10:00
pm (23:00) and the end time is configured for 01:00. On a Saturday, the feed
cycle would start at 10:00 pm (23:00). The last feed occurs by 11:59 pm (23:59)
on Saturday since Sunday is a disabled day. The next feed occurs at 12:00 am
(0:00) on Tuesday. This feed cycle would end at 01:00 on Tuesday. No feeding
occurs Monday, because Monday is a disabled day.
