The Digital Feeder Control from ATL Agricultural Technology offers a most elegant and yet
simple way of feeding in parlour.
It is connected to either a single feeder, an ATL Abreast Feeder with automatic feed flaps or two
feeders one on each side of the parlour. Setting up the installation to deliver a consistent portion
of feed from any feeder is quick and easy by virtue of the Global Timing Pulse, a unique
innovation in parlour feeding.
Feeding is fast- really fast. Just dial the number of portions required for a cow, press the FEED
switch and it's done. The feeder will deliver the cake completely unattended. No fiddly buttons
to press or complex codes to remember. The ATL Digital Feeder Control gives the farmer
complete control.
Operating the Control
The feeding procedure for the Digital Feeder Control is simple. Turning the Ration Selector knob
increases or decreases the ration which is displayed in the window. For controls set up to drive a
single feeder such as the ATL Abreast unit with a manual flap, pressing the Feed Switch in either
direction will start the feeder, both Indicators illuminate and the display counts down as the
feed is dispensed until it reaches zero and the feeder motor turns off.
Controls which drive two feeders, pressing the feed switch to the left starts the feeder on the left
and pressing it to the right starts the feeder on the right. The appropriate Motor Running
Indicator illuminates to show which 'side' is running and again, when the display reaches zero
the feeder is turned off.
ATL Abreast Feeders with an Automatic flap have a single feeder motor which operates
regardless of whether the Feed Switch is pressed left or right, but the Auto flap is moved in the
direction of the Feed Switch to divert the cake to that manger. Press and hold the Feed Switch for
a few seconds to allow the Auto flap to move and settle.
The Ration Selector is a rotary switch; it has no end stops and can be rotated through 360
degrees in either direction. As it is turned, the display increments or decrements, depending
upon direction. The display number represents the multiple of portions (to a maximum of 99)
set up using the Timing Pulse. So, for example if the installation was calibrated to deliver
500gms (about 1pound), a figure of '7' in the display window represents 7 x 500gms or
3.5kilograms.
If the Motor Running Indicator(s) fail to illuminate when the Feed Switch is pressed and the
Ration Display begins to flash, there is a fault with the feeder and the thermal trip inside the
Control has interrupted the feeder power supply. This generally means the feeder motor is
drawing too much current- it may be jammed, badly worn or has short-circuit windings.
Release the switch, turn the Ration Selector until the display reads 'zero, allow the thermal trip
to cool for a minute or so and try again. If the fault persists check and service the feeder motor.
Even when the feeder is running it is possible to increase or decrease the ration simply by
turning the Ration Selector. The Digital Feeder Control will deliver the new ration.
If a feeder is already running, pressing the Feed Switch again for that side will have no effect.

However, the opposite side feeder can be set to run by pressing the Feed Switch but it will not
deliver the ration displayed since it is working in stand-by mode, running just so long as the
Feed Switch is held over.
Setting the Ration Display to zero and pressing the Feed Switch will deliver cake continuously
for as long as the switch is held over. This is a convenient stand-by feature.

Software Versions
The Digital Feeder Control is supplied with one of two versions of software:
V2.05 - Standard Version - Once the feed switch is operated and the counter has counted down
to zero (0), the ration display stays at zero (0) and a new ration has to be dialled up to feed
again.
V2.06 - Return To Ration Version (Rotary Parlour) - Once the feed switch is operated and the
counter has counted down to zero (0), the ration display returns to the previous ration value
ready to feed again. NB - The ration can be altered by turning the ration selector knob.
