Meal-Time Control (part no. 34385) Information:
The Meal-Time Control is primarily designed to meet the feeding needs of broiler
applications. The Meal-Time Control is set up with Channel 1 being the feeder
channel. Feeder line motors should be powered only by Channel 1.
The Meal-Time channel (Channel 1) allows any feeder line that is running when
the run time is finished to continue to run until the line is satified.
The other channels (2,3, & 4) may be used to control other equipment (lights,
fans, water solenoids, etc.).
Each channel has a 2 H.P. (max.), 230 V. power relay.
Figure 1 shows the front of the Meal-Time Control. The individual switches, pilot
lights and the 4-Channel Time Clock are noted.

Programming the 4-Channel Time Clock
Before beginning programming the time clock, fill in the desired starting times
and running times. This will make programming the clock much easier.
IMPORTANT: Channel 1 must be used as the feed channel.
Channel 2 must be used as the fill system channel.
Channels 3 & 4 may be used to control other equipment, lights, etc.
A start time and a run time must be entered for each desired operation. If either
are missing or incomplete, the operation will be ignored.
The display must be flashing in order to make any program changes.
When the display stops flashing, the new infomation will be added.
To Reset the Time Clock:
The time clock must be reset upon initial installation.
With power off to the system, press and hold the START TIME button while
turning the power on. This will erase any entries that were programmed in
the factory or field.
To Set the Time of Day:
Press and hold the TIME OF DAY button until the display begins to flash.
Use the HR/MIN key on the time clock. Be sure to set the clock to the ap-
propriate a.m. or p.m.
NOTE: Entries must be on both sides of the colon (i.e. 01:20).
To Set Every Other Day Mode:
Press the HR/MIN button to advance the display until the indicator beside
the EOD TODAY is illuminated. Press the appropriate a.m. or p.m. This will
set the proper sequence for the every-other-day mode. It does not, how-
ever, set the every-other-day Channel. The every-other-day Channel will
be set later in the programming.
