AQUACUS+
The AQUACUS+ controller is a versatile counter used to control the process of dispensing feed and water. Measurements of dispensed feed and water are based on the number of impulses received from measuring devices (e.g. from a dosing scales, electronic flow meter , etc.).
The controller is equipped with a relay alarm output that informs about any irregularities in the system operation such as e.g. uncontrolled water leakage, etc. An alarm will also be activated if the amount of feed or water dispensed is different than the preset amount.
The controller saves in its memory the amounts of feed and water dispensed in the following days together with flock age. Thanks to this solution it is possible to read the history of feeding up to 1000 days back.
Characteristics:
- two built-in outputs of ON/OFF type used to control two factors (water, feed) with the possibility of manual control,
- a relay alarm output (alarms activated if total or temporary consumption is too small or too big), automatic control turn off if consumption is too big; additionally alarms in case of incorrect work of the source of impulses,
- an impulse counting input for cooperation with different sources of impulses (electronic water meters, inductive sensors, limit switches, etc.),
- recording the daily consumption, the controller can save up to 1000 days of breeding together with date (a built-in battery powered clock that can also work during the power supply failure of the controller),
- large, easy to read display and ergonomically-designed keypad that makes the process of control and data reading easy,
- function of percentage comparison of current consumption with respect to the previous day.
