1. Introduction

1. Introduction

Fancom has developed the F47 bird weighing computer for continuouspoultry weighing. The weighing system consists of one poultry weighingcomputer and a maximum of two electronic weighing scales.

Communication

It is possible to communicate with the F47 computer via a PC. Viamodems even at great distances. Use the Fancom network (FNet) forcommunication.

Using the Fancom F-Central program on the PC the increasing growthline of the animals can be shown in graph form.

4. Mounting and installation

Caution

It is essential that the alarm output of each computer is connected to aseparate alarm system circuit.When mounting the computer, the following should be observed:

1. Never mount the computer near water pipes, drainage pipes etc.2. Never mount the computer in a place where the weather has direct

influence (not in the sun, or in places where the temperature canrise sharply, etc.).

3. Never mount the computer in a humid and/or dusty room andcertainly not in the room where the animals are present.

No condensation may take place in or on the computer.

4. Use the holes behind the cover screws on the corners of the box tosecurely fasten the computer.

5. Mount the computer on a flat surface with the display at eye level( or slightly higher). Ensure that the gland nuts are at the bottom ofthe computer.

6. Use gland nuts to connect the computer. Use the sealing platessupplied to seal the gland nuts which are not used. Seal all glandnuts after connection to prevent the entry of dust, aggressive gasesand/or humidity.

7. To protect against lightning, place an over voltage protection devicein the power supply of the computer.

4. Mounting andinstallation

8. Connect each computer to one group from the main electrical servicepanel.

9. It should be possible to disconnect the computer using a switch orplug.

Ensure the computer is well grounded.

10. Separate high/low current wires by mounting them in separatecable channels.

11. If metal cable channels are used, ground them.

Always observe the regulations of the electricity company

! AdviceLimit the length of the signal wires as much as possible; avoidcrossing high/low voltage wires.
