When auto-draft is enabled in SET-UP and a drafting mode other than DRAFT BY
WEIGHT is selected, an additional drafting setting is available when the DRAFT LIMITS
key is pressed.
Select from DEFAULT DRAFT = LEFT, CENTRE, RIGHT
This is the direction in which an animal will be drafted if:
1. DRAFT BY WEIGHT GAIN or DRAFT BY GAIN/DAY is selected and a gain
comparison for the animal is not able to be made.
2. DRAFT BY EID or WEIGH, DRAFT BY EID is selected and there is no EID drafting
record for this animal in memory.
Manual Override of Auto-Drafting
When auto-drafting is in progress, it is possible to override the FX41-selected drafting
direction, using the 0 key on the numeric keypad (remember 0 for 0verride).
Press 0 to select the CENTRE GATE
Press 0 again to select the RIGHT GATE
Press 0 again to select the LEFT GATE
At any time during manual override, press any key other than 0 to exit manual override
and return to the weighing mode. On exit, all gates will be left in the closed state.
Note that if the override feature is used to send animals in a different direction from that
indicated by FX41, then the draft statistics will not be the same as the number of animals
physically drafted through each gate.
