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.
If the large button indicator light is flash-
ing rapidly yellow, the milk yield the
minimum milking time limit is not
reached (by default 90 seconds after
cluster release). Check if a reattach is
needed, see
Ä
Chapter 4.4 "Reattach-
ing a cluster" on page 45.
If the large button indicator light,
despite flashing rate, turns to yellow, it
means that a milking alarm has been
detected. Check if a reattach is nee-
ded, see
Ä
Chapter 4.4 "Reattaching a
cluster" on page 45.
3. If the animal has a high milk flow already at
the start of the milking, press the [Force
vacuum] button to activate a high vacuum
level immediately if the system has two
vacuum levels (Duovac).
ð
The indicator light turns into a steady
cyan indicating that the high forced
vacuum function is active.
4. If a cluster must be reattached near the exit
of a rotary parlour, press the
[second rotation] button to lower the reten-
tion bar.
5. Stop the platform rotation.
