3.4 Mounting the Race- -Way
Mount an appropriate race- -way in front of the sucking station, in order to prevent a calf
from being pushed aside by other calves.
3.5 Connecting the Micro- -Identification "Calfscan"
The antenna type is decisive for the identification range. In case of Micro- -Identification
„Calfscan" you can set the range by the antenna- -Squelch (see chapter 8.1, page 36, „Con-
necting the System- -Machine to the Feeding Computer"). The following table contains the
Squelch values and identification ranges for the different Responders.These Squelch values
are empirical and have already been factory- -set.
Responder
X- -Responder
Eartag- -Responder
PM- -Responder
A Responder can be read simultaneously at two antennas. If, for instance, at antenna 1 a
Responder is read that is actually assigned to antenna 2, we talk about faulty identifica-
tion due to an overlap of reach. A faulty identification may also occur when calves,
standing beside the feeding box, are identified. In this case you have to set the identifica-
tion range once again. If necessary, close off the area beside the feeding station, so that
calves do not have access to it.
Mounting the Race--Way
Mount the race- -way according to the mounting instructions.
Connect the Micro- -Identification „Calfscan" according to the mounting instructions.
Calfscan has been preassembled in the stainless steel shell and adjusted. You do not need
to carry out further adjustments.
Mount and operate Calfscan only in the original stainless steel shell.
Install the cable for Calfscan in such a way that calves cannot touch them.
Carefully check the wiring. See installation plan.
