MODEL H2™ Feeding System
General Installation Information
Please read the installation instructions in this manual prior to beginning the installation. This manual provides
the necessary information on the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Chore-Time feeding equipment
you have purchased.
The suspension, hopper assembly, feeder line installation, and anti-roost installation is the same for each system,
except where noted otherwise. Please pay particularly close attention to insure proper assembly and installation
of the equipment.
Each of the feeders may be used on broilers from 1 day old through the grow-out. Each feeder has adjustability
features built-in, allowing the operator to manage the feeding system effectively and efficiently.
Suspension systems are based on ceiling heights of 14 feet (4.26 m) with suspension drop points every 8 feet (2.4
m). DO NOT EXCEED 10 FEET (3 M) BETWEEN SUSPENSION DROPS. Refer to the suspension section in
this manual for installation details.
The Agri-Time Meal-Time Control is used to control the Model H2 Feeders. The optional Agri-Time Time Clock
Control may be used in certain installations where the Meal-Time feature is not required.
The Feeder Control Units should be at least 10 feet (3 m) from the wall or partition. See diagrams on page 11.
The Model H2 Control Units use a 348 R.P.M. Gearhead, delivering approximately 17 pounds per minute or 7.7
kg per minute. This rating is based on feed with a density of 40 pounds per cubic foot or 640 kg per cubic meter.
Single phase 60 Hz and single and three phase 50 Hz Power Units are available for the Model H2 Feeders.
Systems up to 300' (91 m) require 1/3 H.P. Power Units. Systems over 300' (91 m) require 1/2 H.P. Power Units.
General Management Recommendations that apply to Model H2 Feeder systems are covered on page 8.
This section provides you with valuable information concerning feeder installation, operation, etc. It is important
that you read this information and understand how the feeder was designed to operate. Then, you may custom
operate the system to fit your individual needs.
