5.3 Alarm Indications
Normal Operation – During normal operation with no alarms present and no specific feed bin or specific
operation selected, the following indications will be shown:
• The Main Display will continuously show the active feed bin numbers.
• The Feed Level Indicators for the active bins will be displaying the feed levels.
• The Auger Fill Indicators will either be solid-ON when the auger motor is running or solid-
OFF when the auger motor is not running.
Minimum Feed Capacity Alarm –The
Min. Feed Capacity feature
monitors the amount feed in the
feed bin and will activate the
Auxiliary Alarm output if the feed
decreases below the selected
amount of minimum feed. Refer to
Section 7.4 for control/editing the
Min. Feed Capacity settings.
When the feed level decreases
below the Min. Feed Capacity (%)
percentage, the specific Feed Bin
Level Indicators will immediately
start flashing.
NOTE: The feed level must continuously remain below the Min. Feed Capacity (%) percentage for
a minimum of 4 minutes for the Auxiliary Alarm to activate.
After 4 minutes, the Auxiliary Alarm contacts will activate, the Main Display will alternate between
showing the active Feed Bins and “Err” (“Err” represents that an Error/Alarm condition exists), and
the specific Feed Bin Level Indicators will continue to repeatedly flash ON and OFF. When the feed
level rises above the Minimum Feed Capacity (%), the Auxiliary Alarm, Feed Bin Level Indicators,
and display immediately return to normal operation.
Maximum Fill Time Alarm – The Max. Fill Time feature monitors the amount of time which the feed augers
remain ON and will activate the Auxiliary Alarm output if the feed auger remains ON longer than the
selected Max. Fill Time limit. Refer to Section 7.5 for control/editing the Max. Fill Time settings.
When the feed auger initially turns ON, the Fill Indicator will also turn ON. If either of the feed
augers remain ON longer than the selected Max. Fill Time (minutes), the Auxiliary Alarm contacts
will activate. When the Auxiliary Alarm is activated, the specific Auger Fill Indicator will
repeatedly flash ON and OFF. The Main Display will also alternate between the active feed bins and
