Cheaper to buy a s/h parlour
What does the newer type do that the older doesn’t? I’ve got 680s in my parlour, apparently the newest, still don’t know what all the buttons do!

Upgraded as in new software or changed to a newer model?
Are you on Alpro or Delpro?
Manual ???What does the newer type do that the older doesn’t? I’ve got 680s in my parlour, apparently the newest, still don’t know what all the buttons do!
I go to the parlour to milk cows, the parlour harvests milk and information which if so desired I can look at later on the desktop. Don’t understand the fascination standing behind a cow in a wet parlour, reading off her milk flow rate, last yield etc.Manual ???
No but you may want to see Group no. / ear tag / last heat / last yield/ seperate cow/ set remind code etc etc -saves walking and getting cow sh*t on office carpet..........
Sorry, don’t use any of that. Seg cows before milking, luckily don’t have an office carpet!
Can see could be useful to some people.
oooooooo ! that's a very early processor !!!
If you definately have MPC2 (they are not original) then you need to set the meter on the MPC's
From memory (need to check if doesn't work)
With MPC in standby (4 dots ) if stuck in wash (2 dots) force to standby by F72 enter.
So 4 dots then F62 enter - then F329 enter - it may say password PASSWD - 6285 enter.
Then a number will be displayed .
0=MM15
1=MM25
2=Fi2
3=Fi5
You need to set yours to 3 (I know it says Fi5 but Fi7 are same type)
Press enter after changing.
Prudent to go back to standby (F enter) then check its saved.
F62 ENTER
F329 ENTER
Should say 3
Need to do on every MPC.
Please report back .......... goodluck.

Hi thankyou for your information .So an update on the situation I fitted a second hand /old 6 stall tandem and had a guy with some Fi7 milk meters who said he could upgrade the Mpc s to run them he done that and all went well . Then 2 of the mpc s packed up but when i bought the parlour it was a 10 stall so i have 4 spare Mpc s which i thought could be upgraded .The guy that done it has now moved on so i took to our local dairy company who said they cant do them . I have since found out that they are Mpc 1 I did try your programme on one of the units but when i put F62 enter in it just comes up --EF--
Any help would be much appreciated
