4.4.5. Filling Independent Chain
Disk Systems with Individual Bin Au-
gers Using Continuous Feed Distribu-
tion Mode
1. Beginning the Filling Process — The fill-
ing process starts at the end of the previous
cycle (refer to point 6 below to see when a
cycle ends).
2. Emptying the Chain Disk Systems —
When the “Continuous Delay” has elapsed,
the controller activates all drive units during
their respective “Auger Delay” to make sure
all Chain Disk Systems are empty before
bringing new feed.
3. Filling Chain Disk Systems — When the
“A u ge r D e l a y” of a Chain Disk System has
elapsed, all Chain Disk Systems keep run-
ning and start being filled by their respective
bin auger.
4. A Chain Disk System is Full — The con-
troller knows a Chain Disk System is full
when the proximity sensor detects feed for
5 seconds without interruption. When a Chain
Disk System is full, its respective drive unit
and bin auger stop running.
5. All Chain Disk Systems are Full — When
the last Chain Disk System is full, all drive
units are off and the bin auger stops bringing
feed into the Chain Disk System.
6. Next cycle — The next feed cycle starts
when the master Chain Disk System gets
empty:
a) If the proximity sensor is mounted in the
last drop, the next cycle starts when the
proximity sensor stops detecting feed.
b) If the proximity sensor is located on the
Master Chain Disk System line after the
last drop, the new cycle starts if no feed is
detected after these 2 delays: “Continuous
Feed Delay” + “Bypass Delay” (the “Continuous
Feed Delay is the amount of time required for
the animals to eat the feed).
