Chapter 1: Overview
The Afi-lite milk meter is installed at every milking point and performs the
following tasks during milking:
• Measures the amount of milk produced.
• Measures conductivity of the milk.
• Controls Automatic Cluster Removal (ACR).
• Displays cow information.
• Alerts milkers to health and milking irregularities.
The S.A.E. Afikim Afi-lite milk meter is made up of two units:
• The Afi-lite control box.
• The Afi flo milk meter body.

Key functions
The keys, and their functions, are described below. At the press of each key
side lights glow on the sides of the control box, to verify contact.
The Start key: Press this key to start milking.
Press the start key twice rapidly when:
The cow at the milking point is not identified.
After manually entering the cow number, press
twice rapidly to start milking.
A milking code has deactivated the start key. The cow
may need special attention if this occurs (page 9).
After the making the necessary preparations, press
twice rapidly to start milking.
The Stop key: Pressing this key manually stops milking and activates
cluster removal.
After the cluster removal process is finished, pressing this key
lowers the cluster. Pressing it again returns the cluster to the
upper position. This is helpful when adjusting cluster tubes.
This also enables you to attach the cluster to the jetter while
other cows are still being milked.
The Cancel ACR key: Afi-lite will detach the cluster
automatically, when the milk flow rate drops to a
predefined level. Manual detachment is
performed to override this mechanism. Pressing
this key cancels the automatic cluster removal.
The red LED in this key is illuminated when the
Automatic Cluster Removal is cancelled.
If the Cancel ACR is activated, the milker must
press the stop key ( ) to manually remove
the cluster,
when the cow has finished milking.
The Cleaning Mode key:
The red LED in this key is illuminated when the milk
meter is in Cleaning Mode.
Press this key to toggle between milking mode and
cleaning mode.
The Cow Identification key: Press this key to see the number of
the cow identified at the milking point.
The Conductivity key: Press this key to display the milk conductivity
of the cow at the milking point. The milk
conductivity of mastitic cows is usually higher than
normal. If a milk alert is displayed, compare the
conductivity to the expected conductivity, as
described on page 7.
