Operation
Feeder Pan Setting
The Feeders should be set on the #1 position for most
applications. The adjustment settings are easy to
understand and change. Setting numbers are embossed on
both sides of the grill so they may be easily seen from
either side of the feeder line. (See Figure 44.) Feed texture
and consistency, type of bird, or other variables may make
it necessary to change to another feed setting position. The
combination of proper pan height, feeder setting, and
feeder operation will result in optimum feeder
performance. (See Figure 46.) The operator will learn
what performs best for his/her situation with experience.
Feed Volume
Chore-Time recommends grow-out crumble feed at 45lb/ft
apply. (See Figure 45.)
See "Manufacturer's Recommendations: Birds per Pan" on page 7 for birds per pan recommendations.
End Control Pans
At installation time, the end control was placed to 10 feet [3 m]
from the end of the building to allow the birds access around the end
of the feeder line.
The End Control Pan should be set to the #1 position. This
ensures that the Feed will be consumed in the Control Pan, calling
for feed to the rest of the Feed Line.
Mid Line Control Pan
The Mid Line Control is placed on the feeder line when partial
house brooding is desired. It is important the mid line control be
installed at least 2 feeder pans away from the curtain or partition so the birds will activate the feeder line. The
feed setting for the mid line control should be the same as the rest of the feeder pans on the feeder line. A toggle
switch or disconnect is used to bypass the power to the mid line control. This allows the mid line control to serve
as a standard feeder after brooding. The feeder can be changed from full house operation to partial house
brooding with the activation of the switch.
Electro-guard Operation
The electro-guard chargers should be operated on a separate electrical circuit so the anti-roost system can be
shut off using a switch next to the entrance door when someone enters the building. Birds are less likely to
become wild and flighty if the anti-roost is off when people are in the building.
