5 108 Bad system
vacuum...
kPa ref... kPa
May give
stop call
after
recovery
The system vacuum to the milking
station is deviating too much from
the setpoint values (set in PC).
Checked under milking only.
Check the system vacuum or calibrate the
sensors.
Check setpoint value in PC. If sensor is
broken, calibrate so it shows correct
vacuum. If setpoint is 0 the system will not
check the vacuum level.

Service engineer only:
- Start the management software and check
that "System vacuum level" is set to 44 kPa.
- If the problem presist, calibrate the
vacuum sensor. Do as follows:
- Attach a calibrated meter to the outlet on
the control box in the lower beam.
- On the touch screen, press "VMS" > "Test
VMS".
- On the keypad that appears on the
screen, type "VMS".
- Press "Service Test".
- Press "Lower beam" (for "Lower beam 2")
and scroll until you find "Sense vacuum
level".
- Press the "Sense vacuum level" button.
- Press "Calibrate" and follow the
instructions on the screen.
- When the calibration is complete, restart
the milking station.

Stop alarm Problems when emptying the
receiver (end unit). System has
milked more than 2 kg and is about
to empty the receiver, but the level
sensors inform the system that the
receiver is already empty.
Check the receiver and its level sensors
(endunit level).

Stop alarm The level sensors are indicating
that the receiver is not empty even
though the milk pump has been
running for 60 seconds.
In particular, make sure that the valve at the
milk filter is open. Check the level sensors
(endunit level).
Check the milk pump and the motor
overload protection. Check if any valves are
closed that should be open.
