Linking Single Cows using MicroMarque3S Software v4.28 or below

When cows new to the herd are milked for the first time, the Auto-ID system will not be able to recognise them because

their number and ear tag have yet to be linked. They must have a record and have an ear tag fitted.

Allow the cows into the parlour in the usual way:

Ensure that the MicroMarque3S is in program mode (subroutine 638).

Press SHIFT+RESET. The MicroMarque3S will default to Stall(1) on the default side.

Press the Scanning Switch fitted to the bottom of the control

scanning process. Starting at stall(1), the MicroMarque3S will attempt to read an ear tag at each stall

on that side. The stall being read currently will be displayed in the STALL/SIDE window and the message

'ScAn' will flash in the CUMULATIVE TOTALS window. With each successful tag read, the

MicroMarque3S will access the cow's record and deliver the appropriate amount of feed.

New cows will be read but cannot be fed because the computer does not have a link to their records.

An unlinked tag will cause the buzzer to bleep.

When scanning is complete, the message 'ScAn End' will be displayed.

Press the ATTN key. The display will now have 3 underscore prompts in the COW NUMBER

window, the message 'Ltg' (Link Tag) in the RATION window and the stall occupied by the unlinked cow

in the STALL/SIDE window.

Key in the number of the cow at that stall.

Press FEED. Cow and tag are now linked and the cow will be fed the appropriate ration.

The MicroMarque3S will then display the next stall occupied by an unlinked cow if there is one. Proceed in the

same way.

When the last cow has been linked and fed, the display shows the message 'Attn End' and the buzzer stops.
