5.5. Secondary Sample Filter
The secondary sample filter is the last point that protects the electronic components from
debris and particulate matter. Over time, as the filter is used, there will be a noticeable
delay between animals visiting the system, and the gas response from the animals. If the
filter goes for too long without being changed, this can damage the system.
Replacing the secondary sample filter every year of full operation is required. To purchase a
replacement sample filter, please contact sales@c-lockinc.com.
Instructions for replacing the sample filter can be found on the Maintenance playlist -

6. Controlling GreenFeed
Power Up GreenFeed
Every time the feeder is powered-up from a cold boot, it will require about 30 minutes to
warm-up the concentration sensors before they are usable. Because of the required
warm-up period, it is recommended that the system is left powered-up or in sleep mode if it
will be used on a daily basis. There is no need to power-down the unit on a nightly basis.
"Sleep mode" can be used to allow the user to reduce the power consumption of the feeder
if it will not be used for a short period of time (overnight or for a weekend, for example).
This mode will allow the user to immediately power-up the system if it will be used in the
near future. Once sleep mode is activated, the GreenFeed unit will do the following:
1) Stop collecting data and upload any unsaved data to the central C-Lock server, which
may take up to two minutes, depending on connection speed and amount of data to
upload
2) Turn off the fan and sample pump, disable the feeder, and turn off the RFID reader
