Set the temperature settings for the application of your VitalControl device

Set the threshold & temperature ranges

Hint

Threshold values for the body temperature are stored here individually for the animal species calf, cow and lamb. The yellow and red fields show the threshold value for “elevated temperature” and “fever” respectively. VitalControl places animals in the yellow and red areas on the alarm list, making it easier for you to monitor sick animals. A threshold for under temperature can also be freely defined.

To set the threshold & temperature ranges on your device proceed as follows:

From the main screen of your VitalControl device, select Settings and press the OK button.
A submenu opens in which various settings are displayed. Use the arrow keys △ ▽ to select Temperature. Confirm with OK.
Another submenu opens in which you can use the arrow keys △ ▽ to switch between the two setting fields for Thresholds, Undertemperature and Anus spotlighting. Select the Thresholds settings field.
Use the arrow keys ◁ ▷ to select the desired threshold.
Use the pen symbol with the F3key to set the threshold value of the yellow and red area. Use the arrows △ ▽ to set the desired “greater than” or “equal to” temperature. Use the keys F2/F3 🡄 🡆 or the ◁ ▷ arrow keys to select between the yellow and red ranges.
Once you have set the desired “greater than” or “equal to” temperature, use the back arrow with the F1 key to jump back to the Thresholds value.

Set undertemperature

Hint

Here you set the measured temperature from which an undertemperature occurs. During the fever measurement, this temperature is displayed with a blue background.

To set the threshold value for the undertemperature, proceed as follows:

From the main screen of your VitalControl device, select Settings and press the OK button.
A submenu opens in which various settings are displayed. Use the arrow keys △ ▽ to select Temperature. Confirm with OK.
Another submenu opens in which you can use the arrow keys △ ▽ to switch between the two setting fields for Thresholds, Undertemperature and Anus spotlighting. Select the Undertemperature settings field.
Use the arrow keys ◁ ▷ to select the desired threshold value for the undertemperature.

Anus spotlight

Hint

Here you can set whether the light should be automatically activated or deactivated during fever measurement.

To deactivate or activate the anus spotlight during the Temperature action, proceed as follows:
