Assembling GreenFeed

If you opted for a remote-assisted self-installation, then instructions for assembling
GreenFeed vary depending on the particular system type. For walk-through instructions for
your GreenFeed, please visit our playlists at https://videos.c-lockinc.com. There you will find
video playlists for assembling:

These videos will walk you through assembling your system from first unpacking it, all the
way to initial power-on. For answers to

2. Setting Up GreenFeed

Selecting a Location for GreenFeed

Picking the location and layout for GreenFeed is crucial to collection valid measurements.
Some considerations include:
1) Ensuring enough airflow in the environment to prevent background gas concentrations
from building up. A closed barn is not an ideal location without ventilation.
2) Preventing animals from gathering around the system, which will also increase the
background concentrations.
3) Allowing only one animal to visit GreenFeed at a time. This requires the use of alleyways
to prevent multiple animals from fitting into the feed area at once.
4) Protecting the back of GreenFeed, as there is important calibration and electrical
equipment that must *not* be accessible by the animals.
5) Allowing enough space in front of GreenFeed to ensure that a ~2 meter alleyway way fit
comfortably in front, allowing a passageway for the animals to approach GreenFeed.
6) Ensuring there is enough space behind GreenFeed for a person to comfortably fit. Much
of the maintenance that must be done on a regular basis requires being behind
GreenFeed.
7) Using sturdy structures to anchor GreenFeed in place.
8) Free-stall GreenFeed setups require a standard AC power outlet (110V or 220V). Please
ensure you have a means of safely running power to the system.
