Intermediate Control Operation - Chore-Time REVOLUTION Installation And Operator's Manual

Adult Turkey Feeder, MODEL ATF™
1. Determine which feeder tube and outlet hole will be used for the Intermediate Control. Slide an Intermediate
Control into place on the tube.
Make sure the Intermediate Control is installed so the switch is directly under the incoming supply of feed,
see figure 44.
2. Install the Feed Ring and Feed Level Tube similar to the standard feeders. The Intermediate Control serves
as the Drop Tube Assembly.
If the feeders are to have the winchable Feed Level Tubes install the necessary cables now. See "Winch
Adjustable Feed Level Tubes (optional equipment)" on page 28.
3. Install the Feeder Pan, Pan Shield and other miscellaneous components similar to the standard feeders.
4. The Feed Level Switch is factory adjusted. To check adjustment before assembling depress the switch paddle
and listen for the switch to "click". If the switch needs adjustment See "Maintaining the MODEL ATF™
Feeding System" on page 35.
5. Install a toggle switch out of the birds reach to disconnect power to the Intermediate Control. This allows the
Intermediate Control to serve as a standard feeder when not used as a control feeder.
6. Wire the Intermediate Control as shown in the wiring diagram section of this manual.

Intermediate Control Operation

Chore-Time recommends having a toggle switch wired into the system to allow the feeder line to be changed from
full house brooding to partial house brooding.
Maintain a lower feed level in the Intermediate Control than in the rest of the feeders. This will cause the
Intermediate Control Pan to operate more often, thereby starting the feeder line before the other pans become
empty.
Do not hinder the bird movement around the Intermediate Control Pan. Locate the curtain or partition several pans
away from the Intermediate Control pan.
Provide adequate lighting so the birds will not shy away from the Intermediate Control area.
