Introduction Having a calm herd heavily contributes to the health and welfare of the cows, and in turn to the farmers’ well-being as well. A common problem with concentrate dispensers inside out-of-parlour feeders and milking robots is spillage of concentrate out of the dis- penser, when the cow already has taken up its portion. This often happens when cows bump against the feeders. In this way, the cows are rewarded for their unwanted behav- iour. This creates restlessness in the area around the out-of-parlour feeder or milking robot, as well as in the herd itself. The Black V anti-spill, manufactured by Hanskamp, offers the perfect solution for this problem. This product consists of an auger, actuated by an electromotor, and is placed underneath the concentrate supply line. The motor actuates an auger, which dispenses the concentrate in a portionwise manner. This is accomplished by a dosing disc. After dispensing a portion, the disc will be orientated in the right way, preventing the concen- trate from falling out of the dispenser, due to e.g. bumping by cows. The dispenser is robust, compact, and is fully enclosed. It supports different types of motors. However, in this manual, the focus is on the RIM motor. This 24V AC/DC electro- motor does not have sliding contacts. Therefore, there is no wear and tear. Further- more, the feeding pulse gets converted to a DC pulse. This allows the electromotor to be actuated more accurately and powerfully. In addition to this, the motor is short-circuit proof. This means that, in case of current overload, the electric motor or controller will not sustain damage. The information in this manual is for farmers and technicians.  Dairy farmers use the information to test and adjust the Black V or to list overviews.  Technicians use the information to install and setup the Black V. 4 - 17 Hanskamp AgroTech B.V.
