Original instructions

4.3.11 Rotary

In rotary parlour, a lock gate is often present to keep the animal under milking in the correct position. The
iMilk600 can control the lock gate of rotary parlour enabling the lock feature.
The lock gate closes when a predefined time has elapsed after that the milking has started. The lock gate
opens when another predefined time has elapsed after that the cluster has been removed without attentions.
The lock gate can be also used to keep the animal inside the milking place for a second run of the rotary. The
user can select a wide range of attention for which the lock gate should not open automatically (Conductivity,
Temperature, Low Production, No-Flow, Kick-Off).
During detachment, if the clamping contact is active due to an alarm that occurred during milking, it is
possible to force the gate to open by holding down the display button or the remote button for 3 seconds.

Washing

It is possible to access the washing mode only from the stand-by phase by holding down the button for 3'' or
from the network commands of the i-OB or iController boards.
For the entire duration of washing, the LEDs flash yellow.
In order to properly wash the MMC sensor, the MMC washing phase is divided into three sub-phases called
FILLING, EMPTYING and TOP, which alternate for the entire duration of washing.
A good wash session is composed by at least 3 phases:
- A prewash of the system (better if warm) to remove the milk remained inside tubes and the loose dirt.
- A main wash cycle (hot) with the recirculation of the cleaning product.
- A final rinse to remove any trace of the cleaning products.
The iMilkNano has a unique wash performance analysis feature that controls and saves much important
information about the wash performance comparing the values read from the MMC sensors to the parameters
set in the panel.
The controls performed by the iMilkNano panel are explained below:
1- During the main wash, the temperature of the washing fluid must be higher than the set threshold.
2- This high temperature must remain at last for a defined time.
3- During the above period of time, the panel checks that the amount of detergent or acid contained into
the washing fluid is higher than the set threshold.
4- At the end of the final rinse, the panel checks that there isn't any trace of detergent or acid inside the
sensor.
