Calibrate - YSI MultiDO 5400 User Manual

Example - The feed timer is configured as follows: sensor temperature low value
is 25.1oC, feed timer temperature change is 9%, timed feed mode, six feeds, daily
weight 2 units start time 8A, end time 9A, six 9.999 second feeds of .3333 units
each to occur at 9 minute 50 second intervals without sensor reduction. Prior
to 8A feed cycle, the start temperature value is reading 24.9oC. Feed duration of
9.999 seconds will be reduced by approximately 1 second (9%) because of the "out
of range" temperature value.
Notes:
- 5400 - Feed Timer temperature sensor value is always taken from the DO
5400
system configured temperature source.
- Feed Timer temperature source is always taken from the ODO temperature
5500
sensor regardless if temperature system is configured for an aux temperature
sensor.
DO Low/Temp Low
Enter the lower limit of the sensor range where no feed reduction will take place.
DO High/Temp High
Enter the high limit of the sensor range where no feed reduction will take place.
DO Change/Temp Change
Enter the percent reduction in feed weight that will occur for "out of range" enabled
feed timer sensors. Results from all out of range sensors are added. To disable a
sensor value from affecting feed duration configure 0.0% as the % change for that
sensor.

Calibrate

tm
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→Calibrate
Calibrating the feeder is essential for proper operation of the feed timer system.
Feed timer calibration is required to establish the amount of food dispensed over
a certain period of time. The 5X00 will base feed cycle duration times on the last
saved calibration value.
Calibrate Feed Smart Timer

1. Install and wire feed timer device. See wire relays - 54.
2. Enable Feed Timer.
Menus → Timers→Feed Smart
3. Assign feed timer relay.
Menus → Timers→Feed Smart
4. Calibrate feeder.
Menus → Timers→Feed Smart
5. At numeric keypad, enter test run time the feeder relay will energize.
6. Press for feed timer relay to energize for configured run test
time. Countdown of relay "on" time is displayed.
7. When run time expires, the relay de-energizes. Enter the amount of
food dispensed at the Measured Weight screen.
8. Press to save settings and return to Run Screen.
