This device connects to and monitors a feed auger to
insure the auger is stopping and starting within a specified time during a feeding.
Normally, the fill auger will stop and start. If it runs continuously, the feed bin may
be bridged, or out of feed, and the broilers would not get their complete feeding. If
the proximity switch to control the feed auger malfunctions, the auger may never
start, again causing the broilers to go without feed. This device will cause the
computer to issue an alarm if one of these problems occurs.
