10.11 Feed dispenser with level sensor (item 70662) for feeder
The feed dispenser with level sensor is an accessory for the feeder (item 70660), to
control the time and quantity of feed supplied, and for level control.
10.11.1 Installation
For the individual steps, please refer to the module's installation instructions.
10.11.2 Configuration
10.11.2.1 Feed dispenser
The feed dispenser allows the precise definition of when and how much food is to be
dispensed at intervals over the day. For this, a total quantity for the day must first be
defined. This can then be subdivided into a maximum of 20 feeding intervals per day.
The day starts by switching on the LED coop lighting (item 70621) or by opening
the chicken door (item 70640 or 70645) in the morning, and ends by switching the
lighting off or closing the chicken door in the evening. The resulting length of day is
calculated automatically and on a daily basis, and is then divided into 20 intervals.
Even if you do not have LED lighting or a chicken door connected, you can still set the
opening and closing times in the DOOR configuration option, and thereby specify the
start and end of the day. For this, proceed as described in section 10.2.4 Configuration.
Define total feed quantity per day:
The total feed quantity per day can be selected in the menu via the "No. of animals"
setting. Enter here the number of chickens kept in the coop.
*** FOOD ***
No. of animals

Amount/animal
100%
In this way, approx. 120 g of food are supplied to each animal each day. This feed
quantity counts as a guide value for laying hens.
If necessary, you can use the "Amount/animal" setting to increase or reduce
the total amount,without modifying the "No. of animals".
Example: For the same number of animals, you wish to provide a little more food. To
do this, increase the "Amount/animal" value to 105 %, for example. Now, instead of
1200 g per day (10 x 120 g x 100 %), 1260 g (10 x 120 g x 105 %) is dispensed
Day's allocation of feed:
The previously defined feed quantity can be dispensed across a maximum of 20
intervals during the day. Here, the same total feed quantity is always dispensed in
the course of a day, regardless how many intervals are activated. For example, if only
one interval is activated, then the total feed quantity per day is dispensed during this
interval. If 5 intervals are activated, then the total feed quantity per day is dispensed
across these 5 intervals.
As standard, all intervals are activated, i.e. the food is provided dispensed evenly
across the day.
When editing the intervals (A,B,C,...), the respective associated time range is dis-
played (this is calculated on a daily basis, depending on the season).
You can now choose the intervals at which food should be dispensed:
0 = no feed dispensed
1 = feed dispensed
