NOTE:Thedigitalcircuitofthisdevicehasbeentestedandfoundtocomplywiththe
limitsforaClassBdigitaldevice,pursuanttopart15oftheFCCRules.Theselimits
aredesignedtoprovidereasonableprotectionagainstharmfulinterferenceina
residentialinstallation.Thisequipmentgenerates,usesandcanradiateradio
frequencyenergyand,ifnotinstalledandusedinaccordancewiththeinstructions,
maycauseharmfulinterferencetoradiocommunications.However,thereisno
guaranteethatinterferencewillnotoccurinaparticularinstallation.Ifthis
equipmentdoescauseharmfulinterferencetoradioortelevisionreception,which
canbedeterminedbyturningtheequipmentoffandon,theuserisencouragedto
trytocorrecttheinterferencebyoneormoreofthefollowingmeasures:
 Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna.
 Increasetheseparationbetweentheequipmentandreceiver.
 Connecttheequipmentintoanoutletonacircuitdifferentfromthattowhich
thereceiverisconnected.
 Consultthedealeroranexperiencedradio/TVtechnicianforhelp.
Changesormodificationstothisequipmentnotexpresslyapprovedbytheparty
responsibleforcompliance(AfimilkLtd.)couldvoidtheuser’sauthoritytooperate
theequipment.

Ensuretakingallprecautionswhenworkingwiththehighvoltagecomponents.To
complywithFCCRFexposurecompliancerequirements,theantennausedforthis
transmittermustbeinstalledtoprovideaseparationdistanceofatleast20cm
fromallpersonsandmustnotbeco‐locatedoroperatinginconjunctionwithany
other antenna or transmitter.

SafetyInstructionsandNotice

Beforeinstallingandoperatinganyequipment,reviewthesafetyinstructionsforany
hazardsassociatedwithinstallationanduseofthedevice.Also,reviewstandardand
localpracticesforpreventingaccidents.
Thesystemanditscomponentsarepoweredbyelectricityfrommainpowersupply.
Thispowersupplyissufficienttocauseseriouspersonalinjuryorevendeath.
Onlya(localstate)licensedelectricianshouldinstallpowercablesandpowersupply
units.
Useonlyacorrectlyratedpowercablethatiscertified,asappropriate,forthe
countryofoperation.


TheAfiActIImustbepoweredbyanexternalisolatingtransformer(output21.6‐

accessiblecircuitbreakeranddoubleisolatedfrommains.
 Readthismanualcarefully.Properhandlingoftheequipmentisthebasisfor
correctfunctioning.
 OnlytechnicianswhoareskilledandauthorizedbyAfimilk,dealer
technicianstogetherwiththefarmstaffmaycarryoutinstallationofthe
equipment.
 Thecustomerisfullyresponsibleforanychangesmade,eitherinthesystem
configurationorinthesoftwareapplicationdata,bythecustomerorbythe
customer’sagent.
 Afimilkwillnotbeheldresponsibledirectlyorindirectlyforanydamagecaused
tothecustomerand/ortoathirdpartyand/ortotheanimals,byanaction

 Afimilkrecommendsthatthecustomercallforafullsysteminspectionbya
qualifiedtechnicianauthorizedbyAfimilkeverysixmonths.
 Itistheresponsibilityoftheoperatortoinstall,operate,andmaintainthesystem
inaccordancewithallapplicablelaws,codesandregulations.
 Theequipmentmustbeusedonlyforthedescribedpurpose.
 Thissystemhasbeencheckedforvirusespriortosupply.Ifinthecourseofa
servicecall,avirusisdetected,removalofthevirus,andanysoftwareor
hardwarerepairsresultingfromit,willbechargedtothepurchaser.
Thesystemanditscomponentsarepoweredbyelectricityfromamainpower
supply.Toavoidpersonalinjury,dangeroffire,andpossibledamagetoequipment
andmaterials,allworkonelectricalandelectroniccircuitsshouldbedonefollowing
thesebasicsafetyprocedures:
 PowertoallAfimilkdevicesmustbesuppliedthroughanaccessible,well‐marked
circuitbreaker(usuallyplacedonthepowertransformer).
 BeforeconductingworkonanyAfimilkdevice,makesurepowertodevicesis
switchedoffatthecircuitbreaker(usuallyplacedonthepowertransformer).
 Removepowerfromthecircuitorequipmentpriortoworkingonit.Never
assumethecircuitisoff;checkitwithamultimeter.
 Incaseofelectricalfire,switchoffthecircuitandreportitimmediatelyto
appropriateauthority.
 Stayawayfromlivecircuits.Donotworkonormakeadjustmentswhenthe
powerswitchison.
 Neverswitchonequipmentinthepresenceofwaterleakage.
 Workinclean,dryareas.Avoidworkingindamporwetlocationsbecausethis
increasesthechanceofelectricalshock.
 Wearonlynonconductiveshoestolessenthepossibilityofelectricalshock.
 Removeallrings,wristwatches,bracelets,andsimilarmetalitems.Avoidworking
inclothingthatcontainsexposedmetalzippers,buttons,orothertypesofmetal
fasteners.Themetalcanactasaconductor,heatup,andcauseabadburn.
 Highvoltagesurgesandotherpowerirregularitiescancauseextensivedamage
toasystem.Itistheresponsibilityoftheoperatortoprovideapowerprotection
system.

1Introduction
AfiActIIisanestrusandfertilitymonitoringsystemthatprovidesataglancefull
pictureofcowsandheifersinestrus.Themonitoringsystemprovidesthorough
trackingofthefertility‐relateddataforthedairyfarmherd.Itcanbeimplemented
eitherasastandalonesystemoraspartofacomprehensiveAfimilksystem.
Thisisdonebycollectingcows’physicalbehaviorandaggregatingthemwith
eventsinformationtogenerateheatlists,fertilityreportsandfertilitydisorder
alerts.
1.1 PrincipleofOperation
ThefollowingdiagramshowsthedataflowintheAfiActIIsystem.
Figure1:AfiActIIsystemdataflow



AfiActIIusesLongRange(LR)communicationtocollectdatafromcowtags(AfiTag
IIsensors)andtransferstheinformationviaastandardnetwork(IPbasedWi‐Fior
wiredcommunication)toaPCbasedanalysis.
Tagsareplacedonthecows’legs.TheAfiTagIIholdstheuniqueIDofeachcow,
andrecordsitsnumberofsteps,standingtime,resttimeandbout.ThetagsuseLR
(LongRange)RF(RadioFrequency)communicationtosendthisdataperiodically
(everypre‐definedtime‐interval,defaultis15minutes)toanantennalocated
insidetheAfiActIIReaderdevice(twoantennasthatprovideoptimalcoverage).
AfiActIIReadercollectsdatafromthecows’tagswhicharewithinitsreceiving
range.TheReaderuseseitherwiredorWi‐Ficommunicationtosendthedatato
thePCforanalysis(2internalantennasareforWi‐Fi,whenused).
TheAfiActIIsoftware,locatedonthePC,usesthecollectedactivitydataofeach
cowtocalculatewhenthecowisinestrusandfindthebesttimeforbreeding.The
applicationgeneratesreportsandalertsthefarmer.
Thecommunicationusedbytheentiresystemcomplieswithlocalregulationsand
safetytests,correspondingwiththe‘homeappliance’category.

To avoid unacceptable electrical power reduction, the cable length and
diameter must be validated, to ensure the cable is not too long per its
diameter.
