5 Installation guide
5.1 Feature software
The Feature Software is provided on a USB stick.
Important information
Feature software can only be installed on house controllers with software version 7.3 or later.
The controller restarts after loading the feature software so it is not advisable to carry out the up-
load when there are animals in the livestock house.
If it is necessary to load the software while animals are in the house, it should be carried out in the
presence of a veterinary expert.
Working procedure when installing Feature Software
1. Create a backup copy of the controller settings.
2. Load feature software and wait for the house controller to restart.
3. Activate the function.
4. Set up the function in the house controller.
5. Make the settings.
5.1.1 Backup of settings
