Maintenance an calibration
The following points are important to sustain
correct dosing of etergents. Note that
these two tasks should be performed by an
authorised DeLaval service engineer.
• The tubes in the peristaltic pumps should
be replaced at least two times a year.
• The dosing volume (P6-P8) of the
detergent pumps should be checked
every third month. The dosing capacity
(P32-P34) may need to be adjusted.
Starting cleaning or rinsing
from the touch screen
Note: Any ongoing backflush process must
first be finished before cleaning or rinsing
can be started.
1. Ensure that the milking station is in
manual mode.
2. Remove any cow that might be in the
milking station.
After treatment window
Note: Both gates should be closed to
prevent a cow from entering before the
system cleaning has been started. Closing
and opening gates is done in the Stall
control window.
3. Press the tab After Treatment on the
touch screen to display the After treatment
window.
4. In the After treatment window, press the
Cleaning and Rinsing button. This will open
the Cleaning and rinsing window.
2.4 Diluent box
The Herd Navigator 100 diluent box contains the
liquid diluent solution used during analysis. It is
mixed with milk to perform the progesterone anal-
ysis, but also to rinse and clean the dosage mod-
ule and mixing chamber.
Note! To prevent that milk sucks into the diluent
and contaminate the diluent, it is important to dis-
connect the diluent connector in case the flow
module is removed. Contaminated diluent will
destroy the function of the diluent and the sam-
pling results will be inaccurate.
