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;
