Cluster Clearance
(either under AfiSheep/ AfiGoat or in a standalone configuration)
Set parameter Cc to allow cluster clearance.
CC parameter is the delay time desired (in seconds), between cluster removal and the
lowering of the cluster.
After setting this parameter, the milk meter is timed to lower the cluster (at the designated
delay time) after cluster removal. After an animal has been milked and the cluster removed,
the cluster remains in the lower position to allow easy preparation of the animals.
Raising or Lowering Clusters
(either under AfiSheep/ AfiGoat or in a standalone configuration)
In removal mode, to raise or lower a cluster without initiating milking, hold down the
group number button and then press 1.
Stimulation
(either under AfiSheep/ AfiGoat or in a standalone configuration)
A rapid pulsation at the beginning of milking helps to stimulate milk let-down.
Three parameters control the stimulation function:
Stimulation Duration (STD)
Stimulation Pulsation Frequency (STF)
Stimulation Pulsation Ratio (SR)
To allow automatic stimulation by code from AfiSheep/ AfiGoat, set Parameter AS to
1(ON).
For Manual Activation Stimulation, press "Code"+"9" combination (only in removal
for next milking only).
For Manual Stop/Canceling Stimulation, press "Code"+"6" combination.
Milk Diversion
An extra milk line must be installed to carry the diverted milk. As well, a diversion
valve must be installed near the milk outlet of the milk meter. The circuit is normally
open. Use the Strip output to control a diversion valve. This function diverts milk
from the main milk line into a secondary milk line. Milk can be diverted
automatically, or manually, as needed.
To allow this feature with pulsation control set parameter IOC to 2.
To allow this feature with Back Flush set parameter IOC to 3.
If this feature is used, the Strip feature cannot be used.
Diverting Milk Manually
Pressing "Code"+"0" diverts milk from the milk meter into the secondary line.
