DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr Operation DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) 1 Important notes im el Prohibited! It is prohibited to operate, service, inspect, or otherwise handle this equipment until the user has read the manual and has been properly trained in the intended use of the equipment. Note! This chapter only describes the use of the MA200.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation 3.1 Milking the animal Pr Ensure there is no problem with the identification of the animal and the cluster attachment is enabled. If the cluster attachment is disabled, perform override. Note! If the option "Allow to milk temporary cows" is activated in DelPro software, no herd management alarm is shown on the button module.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr Note! The animal ID can be manual adjusted using the IDD. If a temporary number is identified, it is possible to sort the animal to place the ear tags when needed and to adjust the animal number in DelPro software after the milking session. im el ð The cows are identified and verified when they enter the rotary parlour. The cow number is shown on the rotary controller and on the IDD. The ID may then be changed.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation 6. Visually inspect the teats. Pr Note! Do not milk infected teats. 7. Press the large button to release the cluster. im el Note! With comfort start there is no need to push the button, vacuum is applied to the cluster when it is lifted. However, this is not the case if the "Do not milk" or "Dump milk" flags are active. Note! If the animal is incorrectly blocked for milking, see Ä Chapter 4.2 "Overriding a blocking" on page 42. 8.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr If the large button indicator light is flashing rapidly yellow, the expected milk yield or the minimum milking time limit is not reached (by default 90 seconds after cluster release). Check if a reattach is needed, see Ä Chapter 4.4 "Reattaching a cluster" on page 45. im el 9.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation General milking alarms Pr Air leakage detection. Occurs due to liner slip or other leakage on teat cups.

Kick-off detection. im el Occurs when the animal has physically kicked-off and removed the clusters while milking.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr 11.If part of the routine, post-dip or spray the teats of the animals with a suitable solution after take-off. Note! The post-dip or spray should fully cover the teat and the teat end. Note! If the on-deck teat spray is used, the post spray is performed after a normal takeoff. y ar in im el © DeLaval 2019.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr 4 Handling specific MA200 functions 4.1 Milking in manual mode im el Sometimes it is better to milk in manual mode. For example, if an animal has a very low milk flow at start and there is a risk that the pre-milking time-out will occur before the milk flow is above the low flow limit which results in a premature take-off.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation 4.2 Overriding a blocking 269078 Pr If the large button indicator is solid red, the "Do not milk" flag is set for the specific animal and the button module is blocked for start milking. This flag is usually used on animals during the post calving and dry-off period or when antibiotic treatment is applied. Fig. 10: The "Do not milk" flag.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr ð The large button indicator light has a the top segment is solid red and the other segments flash slowly in white until the milk flow is above the low flow limit. When the milk flow is above the low flow limit, the large button indicator light turns into a solid white and the top segment is solid red.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation 4.3 Taking off a cluster manually Pr If a cluster is attached to the udder of an animal and needs to be manually detached, do the following: 1. Press and hold the large button to take off the cluster manually. ð The milking ends (vacuum and pulsation stops) and the cluster is retracted. im el If there is no active milking alarm, the indicator turns to solid green.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation 4.4 Reattaching a cluster Pr Note! Always check the udder to see if the animal is milked out or if a reattach is necessary. Note! When reattaching a cluster to an animal; according to farm settings, different parameters will be applied.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr If the large button indicator light is flashing rapidly yellow, the milk yield the minimum milking time limit is not reached (by default 90 seconds after cluster release). Check if a reattach is needed, see Ä Chapter 4.4 "Reattaching a cluster" on page 45. im el If the large button indicator light, despite flashing rate, turns to yellow, it means that a milking alarm has been detected. Check if a reattach is needed, see Ä Chapter 4.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr 4.5 Manually sorting a cow once to a predefined sorting area This section describes how to manually sort an animal to a predefined area when exiting the parlour after a milking session. Note! Manually sorting an animal once to a predefined area can also be done from the IDD or rotary controller. im el n Press the [Sort] button to activate the separate animal. Note! Pressing [Sort] again cancels the sorting of the animals.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation 4.7 Milking in fail-safe mode Pr If the communication with the herd management system is lost, it is still possible to perform milking but with limited functionality, see below.
DeLaval milking automation MA200 (Test installation) Operation Pr 5 Milking a sick or treated cow into a bucket When an animal in the parlour is not supposed to be milked into the regular milk line because it has colostrum milk, is sick, or is treated with penicillin and so on, it can be milked into a milk bucket using a separate cluster. When the cluster is retracted, proceed as follows: im el 1.
