Calibration involves control weighings of water, milk, and powder components. According to the user guide, ensure the mixer is clear of the housing, loose the locking screw, and initiate the automatic calibration via the settings menu. Two control weighings are performed automatically to calculate an average value.
The Smart Automatic Calf Feeder supports cleaning with one or two detergents (alkaline and acidic). Refer to the detergent manufacturer's instructions for concentration settings (typically 5 ml/L) or consult your specific device manual for the correct cleaning plan settings.
Calves should be registered at the CalfRail directly after housing in their single hutches. Animal numbers correspond to box numbers. Avoid frequent manual feeing to prevent false conditioning and allow the system to train the calf.
Check the milk filter, milk valve (via diagnosis), and milk pump. Ensure there are no leaks in the station or drain valves. You may need to change the calibration time to a moment when the action can be observed while the next entitled calf enters.
