First Time Operation
This chapter describes procedures that need to be carried out when starting up the meters
system the first time.
After the parlor is set up, and wires are connected, start up the system. Starting up
involves fives steps:
1. Afimilk MPC start-up sequence description
2. Loading default parameter values
3. Setting milking point ID numbers
4. Milk Meter Calibrating procedures
5. Setting parameters of milking functions:
Most parameters may be set via communication from the computer by remote
programming. However, in the following situations, parameters must be set at each
meter:
o In all systems the stall number and electrode calibration parameters must be
set manually at each meter
o Stand-alone systems, without computers – all parameters in all meters must
be set manually
