A703 MFR too long in loading state (<P1> minutes)
Wrong time setting
It takes longer than the set time
to fill the MFR bin. It is possible
that the set time is timed during
a full kitchen but once the
kitchen becomes half empty it
takes more time.
Bad grabbing performance
The Feed Grabber needs too
many retries before a good grab
is taken, which causes the
loading time to exceed.
The Feed Grabber is not in
operation
If the Feed Grabber is out of
operation or in alarm state this
caused the delay.
Grabber grabs structurally to
high because of fine dirt on the
glass of the feed height sensor
Fine dust or fly droppings on the
glass will affect the
measurement slightly, causing
the Feed Grabber to grab to high
or even in the air.
Troubleshooting
Solution:
Fill up the bin with the largest
ration, time it and add half of the
time to it. Set this value for the
setting Max MFR load time.
Solution:
Find out which feed type causes
this alarm by watching the Lely
Control screen of the Feed
Grabber during operation. There
are 2 types: retries on weight
estimation and retries on
grabber opening. Once known
which retry is causing the delay
check the placement of the feed
block or bale and the
corresponding Feed Grabber
settings in T4C. Make sure:
The feed blocks are placed in
•
the center of their storage
location
There are no overhanging
•
blocks
Slopes created by Feed
•
Grabber grabbing in loose
product like corn or beet pulp
is prevented
Solution:
Clear the alarm and or put the
Feed Grabber in operation again
Solution:
Clean the feed height sensor on
the Feed Grabber.
