Birdfeeder Step 5
1. Confirm all values and settings by viewing the information presented on the screen.
2. Save the file before programming if it was entered manually or any changes made to
the .stb file.
Step 3, Program the TD80 transmitter
Run Birdfeeder and select the correct programming file if not continuing from Step 2
above.
1. Select the appropriate connection instructions in section 6.3.5 for shop or onboard
programming. The TD80 transmitter, Finch display and programming adapter may be
powered by the vehicle battery or the supplied AC power adapter for convenience.
2. See the programming instructions in section 6.3.3 and 6.3.4 for step-by-step details.
Step 4, Test the programming for correct operation and alarm response
The following steps describe tests to be completed after programming the TD80
transmitter. Normal responses are indicated for each test. Review the programming
information, electrical connections and correct as required if the test results differ from
the ones shown.
1. Verify that the vehicle mounted TD80 transmitter and Finch display are installed correctly
and working normally. Birdfeeder 2 Live Connection or a Finch display may be used to
monitor the TD80 after programming on the workbench. A short dual rod or coaxial probe
may be used for convenience. 2 LO response can’t be verified if the probe length is
shorter than the programmed compartment depth.
2. Turn power on to the TD80 system. The display should turn on and go through its start-
up sequence (approximately 10 seconds long).
3. Display is tested, showing numbers 0 thru 9 and then letters A thru F
4. Display will show “----“ for up to several seconds, then one of the following:
a. 2 LO
b. Level
c. Error message E xx, where xx is a number
d. Spill
5. Test the volume display by doing the following:
a. For dual rod probes, run your hand along the probe to check the volume display
and alarm settings. If the probe is not within reach, use foil or a metal rod to short
the two probe rods together.
i. Volume displayed will increase as the hand or shorting rod moves toward
the top of the compartment
ii. Volume displayed will decrease as the hand or shorting rod moves
toward the bottom of the compartment
b. For coaxial probes, insert a small metal rod into the holes along the probe. Short
the center rod to the outer tube to check the volume and alarm settings.
i. Volume displayed will increase as the shorting rod moves toward the top
of the compartment
ii. Volume displayed will decrease as the shorting rod moves toward the
bottom of the compartment
6. Clear all active alarms.
7. Confirm that the following occurs when the probe is shorted at selected points:
a. “2 LO” is displayed when the level is less than 5.5”. Volume is displayed when
the level is above 5.5”.
b. Run your hand along the dual rod probe toward the transmitter or place a small
metal rod in the coaxial probe drain holes.
