6. Press for feed timer relay to energize for configured run test
time. Countdown of relay “on” time is displayed.
7. When run time expires, the relay de-energizes. Enter the amount of
food dispensed at the Measured Weight screen.
8. Press to save settings and return to Run Screen.
Notes:
- Since feeders and food size vary, run several calibrations and enter the aver-
age weight at the last calibration. If feeder or feed type is changed, recalibrate
the feeder.
- If no test/calibration has been performed or if the results have not been saved,
the 5X00 will be unable to perform any feeding(s) because there will be no
reference to determine the rate at which feeding(s) will occur.
- Stored calibration data is available from the AquaManager program.
- If feed timer units change, the feeder must be recalibrated.
- If an incorrect value is entered and saved, another calibration must be per-
formed.
- Disable feed timer system when performing feed timer calibration, de-ener-
gizing any active feed timer relay.
- After calibration is complete, press to Run Screen. The Feed timer
system resets based on new calibration configuration.
- Feed Timer calibration cannot be done using AquaManager.
AquaManager and the Timer Menu
Most Timer menus can be configured using AquaManager. After polling the 5X00
node, use “Systems Management” to view and upload 5X00 configurations. Select
the Feed Smart tm and Timers tabs to view and change configuration.
Notes
- Always manually poll the 5X00 after uploading configuration changes and
verify that the uploaded information is retained. When configuration changes
are uploaded using AquaManager at the same time configuration changes are
being made by a user in the menus at the 5X00, AquaManager uploads may
not be saved depending on the timing of keystrokes at the 5X00.
