Programming and control 41
Experience shows that the lists the end user will need most often are for instance Animal control
, Main menu and Manual functions which he can access directly at the touch of a
key.
Experience shows that the Animal list is the list that end users require most often. The animal
list can be directly accessed by pressing the key . You can change this default setting during
commissioning to meet the needs of the end user. The user will then access the animal list via
the Animal control menu.
During initial startup of the automatic feeder, you can assign the key in accordance with the
needs of the end user (see 4.6.5 "Function keys" - 50).
If you do not see all the menus or sub-menus presented here, this is either because the auto-
matic feeder is not equipped with the component in question, or the component was not activat-
ed during setup.
Note: If you know that the automatic feeder has a component that is not being displayed, check
the setup (see 5. "Setup" - 59).
