Auger overtime alarm: The augers operate when the hoppers switch
transmits a signal to distribute feed. The augers cease operating when
hoppers are full. If the run time exceeds the user defined run time, the
auger active sensor (refer to Devices and Sensors) should generate an
alarm.
Auger under-time alarm: Under time alarms occur when the auger
motor has been off for longer than the under time parameter.
Feeder overtime alarm: Feeders begin receiving feed when the last
pan sends a signal. Feed distribution continues until the pans are full. If
the feed distribution is longer than the user-defined time, the feeder
active sensor should generate an alarm.
Feeder under time: Feeder under time defines the time required to
generate an alarm when the feeder is not active.
o
Stop feeding System: If enabled, the controller stops the feeding cycle once a
cross over runtime is detected.
