Then the width of the sensor range can be limited by turning it away to one side for example if there is a wall on that side The range of the sensor can also be limited by applying tape or the supplied cover strips on the lens no 3 of the detector The time limit in which the detector activates the system can be extended by turning the Time switch see drawing clockwise This should be done in very small increments given the fact that the sensor can be set between 5 seconds and 15 minutes For further information please consult the enclosed User Instructions 21 How it works As soon as the animals exit the milking shed they are detected by the sensor which switches the system on As soon as the cow walks through the rinsing channel a powerful jet is sorayed against the back of the hooves This jet is so powerful that it not only reaches the bottom but sprays upwards to the dewclaw and especially between the hooves where it also reaches the front of the toe Because the jet is so powerful the hoof is thoroughly cleansed and the medicinal fluid penetrates deeply into the affected area Because the tank is three metres long the animals place their hooves in the channel at least three times Due to the fact that there is only 15 litres of fluid in the system and that the fluid is constantly renewed the quality of the disinfecting medicinal fluid remains constant Usage Once the system has been installed in the cowshed it is
