The number of milk pulses measured when a milk column passes within a
pre-set time without the teat cups being removed, should exceed the
adjusted value (except for MC and MQC models).
The number of pulses measured when an amount of milk passes within a
preset time, without the teat cups being removed should exceed the adjusted
value (not applicable for MQC models). For MC and MQC models the setting
is 3 sec.
Default setting "yes": The removal moment is delayed in case of increased
conductivity values per quarter.
Default setting "no": Normal removal calculations are used. This setting
applies to MQC models only.
Default setting "yes": Removal moment related to average milking speed per
quarter.
Default setting "no": Removal moment max. 250 ml/min. This setting applies
to MQC models only.
The cup removal threshold is lowered for the first three teat cups. For the 4th
(last) teat cup the normal take-off threshold is used. In comparison with the
"Normal takeoff" method, the total milking time for the cow is the same.
According to milking method 1 (standard) the teat cups are removed one by
one. It is also possible to remove the front and the rear teat cups in pairs
[simultaneous removal (method 2)]. Another possibility is to enter a dead
milking time of 30 seconds [dead milking time (method 3)] or to combine
method 2 and 3 (method 4).
