You can set an access code (four digits) to prevent unauthorized persons from changing settings. Your installer can set up to six access codes for you. You can set a separate access code for the status screen. If you only set an access code for the status screen, it applies to all user screens. KFV-6400-G-EN01541...
(grams per animal) by entering a positive or negative number at Dosage correction. The entire curve can be increased or decreased by this value. A temporary correction of the curve is usually implemented if, for example due to illness, the feed intake should be temporarily adjusted. +00g = no correction. KFV-6400-G-EN01541...

If the KFV-16 feed weigher has been installed and the calculated dosage is smaller than the Minimum portion size set on the KFV-16, dosing will not start and dosing by the KFV-6400 is immediately ready. Today The current feed amount transported to the selected valve so far.
If feed supplements are used, they will be administered proportionately during the manual operation, unless: During portion = no • During period = no (see screens 1431 . . 1434) or • Feed supplements = off (see screen 14). • KFV-6400-G-EN01541...

PFB-35/70 KFV-16 Alarm If the alarm is switched off, the KFV-6400 will no longer respond to alarms from the feed weigher. The main alarm on the feed weigher is also switched off (the “alarm” LED on the feed weigher flashes).
Page 32
The KFV-6400 takes over control of the alarm key of the feed weigher, which basically means that you can no longer switch the alarm on the feed weigher on or off. You can only still do this on the KFV-6400 dry feed computer then.
