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.

1 Important notes
Prohibited!
It is prohibited to operate, service,
inspect, or otherwise handle this
equipment until the user has read
the manual and has been properly
trained in the intended use of the
equipment.
Note! This chapter only describes the use of the
MA200. For a complete system operation, follow
also the instructions for the milking parlour and
other equipment installed in the parlour.
2 Handling sick or treated animals
DeLaval recommends physically separating sick
or treated cows and milking these cows in a sep-
arate group at the end of the milking session,
directly before the system cleaning. This milk
should not be mixed with the milk from healthy
cows.
To prevent sick animal from accidentally being
milked with healthy cows, a visual mark (a spray
or a leg band) must be applied on animals (in
addition to the herd management alarm). The
marking helps recognizing animals that must not
be milked or with milk to be diverted.
3 Operating the system during a
milking session
Note! This chapter refers to functions on the
small buttons (ID button, Second rotation button,
High force vacuum button and Sort button).
These are not always available depending on the
button module type.
