The Afi-lite milk meter is equipped with alerts to advise milkers of problematic
situations. There are two kinds of alerts:
• Premature cluster removal alerts.
• Operational fault alerts (error alerts).

A cluster can become detached before the end of milking. Premature cluster
removal is indicated by a flashing display of milk yield. If the milk yield flashes
after removal, check expected milk yield (press and ) as
well as expected conductivity ( and ) to identify the
problem.

Afi-lite operational faults.
