1608 Kitchen empty (<P1>)
The kitchen or storage place of
one of the feed types is empty
Solution:
Preventive measure:
One or more feed storage
locations is empty in the feed
kitchen. Keep in mind that a
certain cleaning level can
prevent to empty the storage
place completely.
Fill the kitchen storage places
and/or set the cleaning level.
Keep in mind that changing the
cleaning level can change the
capacity of the system.
Fill the kitchen storage places
and also check the stock of the
other feed types. It is advisable
to fill all the storage places in
the kitchen completely and not
fill it partially. Also fill the
kitchen when the Vector system
has been out of operation for a
while (alarm or maintenance).
Storage places are not set to
filled again
Solution:
Preventive measure:
In normal situations all storage
places are set to filled again
after using the filling mode, but
if for some reason the filling
mode is not used, than the filling
places must be set to filled
manually.
Set the storage places to filled
again: connect the smartphone
to the Feed Controller, go to Fill
kitchen > Storage places and
select FILL ALL.
This can also be set in T4C.
Use the filling mode as much as
possible.
3C64 Bumper activated (R <P1> A <P2>)
Unstable bumper Solution:
Preventive measure:
When one of the bumper springs
is already under tension (a bent
spring, bumper does not hang
straight) the bumper is rapidly
losing its stable center point.
This will make the bumper more
sensitive for cattle and feed to
activate it.
Feel if there is a distinct neutral
point when moving the bumper,
if this is absent check for bent
springs or attachment points
that are not supported by a
spring (where the bumper is
floating and not resting on the
spring).
Contact your Lely Center to
replace springs and/or adjust
bumper attachment points.
MFR lost its path Solution:
Preventive measure:
Often the bumper alarm is a
result of driving somewhere
unintended. Understanding
where it should have driven can
help where to look for the cause.
The alarm list will give
information about on which
route and during what action the
alarm was given. Some
examples:
• When it crosses the feed
alley: Feed or flies influencing
the ultrasound sensor,
misalignment of the
Clean the ultrasound sensors and
the area around them, check the
alignment of the sensors.
Manually drive the MFR back at
the correct distance from the
feed fence and parallel to the
feed fence. When needed check
in the test menu if the feed
fence is seen at the correct
distance. Resume the route.
• Prevent feed from falling on
the sensors during loading
(use a dugout ) and prevent
overfilling the bin (reduce the
max load of that ration).
