- 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 dened conguration. e FCR (feed
conversion ratio) feature automatically computes and increases the daily amount
of food dispensed per FCR conguration.
Notes:
- It is important that the 5X00 be congured with valid data. e feeder system
will not operate properly if, for example, the daily weight of food is greater
than can be dispensed in the dened feed cycle.
- Disable the feed timer system when changing conguration and/or when
performing a calibration. Enable the feed timer system aer conguration
changes and/or calibration has been done. e feed timer system recalculates
duration and interval times based on the new conguration. Press
aer disabling the feed timer system and before making conguration/cali-
bration changes.
Feed Mode
Continuous
Menus → Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→Feed Mode →Continuous
When the feed timer is congured 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 conguration can also eect feed duration.
Notes:
- Once Continuous feed has been congured, 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 elds
are not available for Continuous feed mode.
- In continuous feed mode, feeding(s) will end aer 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. e 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 conguration also eect 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 congured for 10:00
pm (23:00) and the end time is congured for 01:00. On a Saturday, the feed
cycle would start at 10:00 pm (23:00). e last feed occurs by 11:59 pm (23:59)
on Saturday since Sunday is a disabled day. e next feed occurs at 12:00 am
(0:00) on Tuesday. is feed cycle would end at 01:00 on Tuesday. No feeding
occurs Monday, because Monday is a disabled day.
