WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Equipment, probe failure, blown fuses and/or tripped breakers may prove harmful to the contents of the building.
GE-NUTRI WIRING DIAGRAM Electrician’s notes (PROBE WIRING) SHIELDED WIRE AWG #22 WITH 16/30 STRANDING, 500ft (150m) MAXIMUM LENGTH (Ex.: DECA 73-310). For other probe, refer to specific probe manual for appropriate maximum length and wire size or use AWG #22, 500ft (150m) MAXIMUM LENGTH.
Failure to do so may void the warranty. Unpacking Unpack the GE-NUTRI Controller and inspect contents for damage. Should the contents appear to be damaged, contact your local distributor to return the equipment.
GE-NUTRI INSTALLATION General installation guidelines GE-NUTRI Controller It is recommended to install the unit in a hallway to limit the GE-NUTRI Controller exposure to noxious gases. In order to avoid condensation problems inside the controller, it is recommended to install the GE-NUTRI Controller on an inside wall. If it is not possible, use spacers to have an air gap between the wall and the GE-NUTRI Controller.
GE-NUTRI INSTALLATION The backup system and alarm must be thoroughly tested and verified as working properly before using the ventilation system. Mounting The enclosure must be mounted in a location that will allow the cover to be completely opened. Fasten the four brackets to the four mounting holes on the back of the enclosure using the four screws provided with the brackets.
GE-NUTRI INSTALLATION Typical power backup wiring A backup relay (DPDT) is connected to the power source 1 in normal operation but will switch to the power source 2 if source 1 is disabled. The backup relay should be selected to ensure it is able to support the required power load.
GE-NUTRI INSTALLATION Typical alarm connection wiring The GE-NUTRI Controller provides a normally open and normally closed dry contact to set off an alarm in case low or high temperature condition occurs. Moreover, this same contact can be used to signal a power failure or other malfunctions.

GE-NUTRI USER’S GUIDE General Characteristics The GE-NUTRI automatic system can distribute several type of feed to animals. The GE-NUTRI can handle up to 4 different programs simultaneously. Each program can distribute feed up to 10 times a day (10 cycles). An alarm is there to detect if a bin is empty or one of the feed auger has a problem.

GE-NUTRI USER’S GUIDE The feed auger stops when the proximity switch indicates that the manger is full for the filter’s end time. The feeder continues for an adjustable delay until the end of the cycle. In feed auger mode, the general sequence of a cycle operates as follows: At the start time of a cycle, feed augers assigned to the cycle’s feed type...
