Conguring the 5X00
- e Feed timer will not operate properly if the start date is set prior to Janu-
ary 1, 2007.
Daily Weight
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart
tm
Timer→Feeder→Daily Weight
e daily feed amount is the total weight of food that will be dispensed over the
feeding cycle. e value is user selectable from 1 to 100000. e Feed Timer system
divides the total daily feed amount by the number of daily feedings and uses the
calibration/test data to determine feed duration and interval times.
Daily Feedings
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart
tm
Timer→Feeder→Daily Feedings
Congure the number of feedings to occur in feed cycle. e value is user select-
able 1–255.
FCR
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart
tm
Timer→Feeder→FCR
e optional FCR (feed conversion ratio) feature automatically increases the amount
of food dispensed over a feed cycle. e increase in the amount of food is based on
the user congured increase in biomass over a 24 hour period. Biomass and daily
(feed) weight amounts are adjusted by the 5X00 prior to the 1st feed “on” time of a
scheduled feed cycle occurring aer midnight.
Notes:
- With FCR enabled and properly congured an event occurs when the 5X00
time crosses midnight. See below.
Biomass
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart
tm
Timer→Feeder→FCR→Biomass
Enter the total weight of livestock being fed at the time FCR is enabled. e value
is user selectable 1 to 100000.
Feed % (of) Biomass
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→FCR→Feed % Biomass
Enter the percentage of the total livestock weight (biomass) that will be used to
determine the daily feed weight. e value is user selectable 0.0–99.9%.
Daily (Feed) Weight
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→FCR→Daily Weight
Congure the initial daily feed weight by multiplying the biomass amount by the
Feed % Biomass percentage (the 5X00 will not calculate the initial amount). Ex-
ample—if the biomass is 1000 and the feed % biomass is 3%, the initial daily feed
weight amount is 30. On each following day, the 5X00 will use the biomass value
along with the feed % biomass to calculate the new daily feed weight amount.
Note:
- e initial daily weight value must be calculated as described above. Cong-
uring an invalid initial daily weight will result in incorrect biomass and daily
weight calculations when the 5X00 crosses midnight.
FCR Factor
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→FCR→FCR Factor
Enter the ratio of the amount of food required versus the corresponding increase
in sh weight (biomass). is value is used to automatically increase the biomass
amount—as shown in the example below.
