A sophisticated measurement tool for Dairy Technicians. Includes accurate Vacuum, Pulsation, Vacuum Recorder
and
Vacuum Regulation functions. Two fluid-protected vacuum ports, colour touch screen, large memory capacity
(max 5
sessions of up to 200 stalls each) and an icon-based user interface make DairyTest Lite an ideal tool
for
ISO
testing. Reports are generated in pdf format. When plugged into a PC USB port the unit appears as a standard
USB
FlashDrive so reports can be easily transferred for printing and archiving. To ensure measurement integrity
inbuilt
diagnostics include user-initiated port Leakage and Response-time tests. Uses InnovAg’s digital calibration
system
with no manual adjustments for excellent long-term accuracy.
DairyTest Lite is an easy-to-use update of the industry standard DairyTest Pro. Designed to meet demand for a
smaller, intuitive and state-of-the-art pulsation measuring tool, new features include:
Colour TFT touch screen.
Built-in report, viewed and printed via PC / Mac / tablet without software installation.
Lightweight, rubberised, IP53 enclosure.
Non-volatile data storage.
New valve purge system to protect against water ingress.
Designed, built and serviced in Australia. Maintaining the high standards set for today’s dairies requires test
equipment that can keep up wtih modern dairy technology. Furthermore, the adoption of ISO testing standards
demand that results be obtained with higher accuracy than ever before. With its digital calibration, DairyTest
Lite meets these needs and its real-time pulsation measurement system helps to keep testing costs down by
reducing reading and analysis time – especially where large rotary platforms are involved. DairyTest Lite
features measurement reporting viewed via a web browser, thus promoting ease of data accessibility needed to
communicate efficiently in today’s business environment - from printed reports to emailing... DairyTest Lite
Kit contains:
5 Sessions each containing up to 200 pulsation memories and 12 vacuum memories.
Pulsation: Rate Range: 40 to 200 CPM. Rate accuracy: ± 0.5%. Ratio
accuracy: ± 0.5% of calculated value. Time (ms) accuracy: ±
0.3%.
Vacuum: Range: +10 to -80 kPa at 1 atm. Accuracy: ±
0.5 kPa Repeatability: ± 0.3 kPa Resolution: 0.1 kPa
General: Sample rate: 1000 samples/sec. Operating temperature: 5 to
40°C Storage temperature: 0 to 60°C Automatic turn-off time: 10 minutes after last key
press if no vacuum on port. Batteries: two ‘AA’ Alkaline or NiCd/NiMH rechargeable
cells (supplied/recommended).
Specifications are subject to change without
notice.
DairyTest Lite will work with either alkaline or rechargeable batteries (NiCd/NiMH); however for the best
runtime,
use the rechargeables supplied.

Touch Screen not responding correctly.
Turn unit off and on again, making sure nothing is touching the screen. The capacitive touchscreen
auto-calibrates on
power up and can get miss-set if the screen is being touched during power-up.
How often do I need to calibrate my DairyTest Lite?
Calibration interval is 12 months.
We recommend all users upgrade DairyTest Lite units to the latest version.
Record, Play, and Delete icons are no longer disabled incorrectly
Fixes:
Report printing fixes
Printing works on most up to date modern browsers (Firefox, Edge, Safari, Chrome)
The large text entry now shows all text when printed
Pulsation 'zero values' fixed
Previously for some pulsation waveforms the waveform would appear correct but all parameter values would display as zero. This is now fixed.
Missing report detection
Add detection and error code if reports cannot be generated for the PC
Changes since v2.4.1:
Improvements:
Faster Pulsation measurement The 5 cycle
average for ISO6690 compliance (‘unstable’ indicator turns off) now occurs in 5s to 6s for 60CPM
Pulsation. Previously ‘Stable’ was reached in 8s to 10s.
Pulsation Summary Tables added to report The
minimum, average and maximum of each pulsation parameter is shown in a table for ‘Before’
(e.g.
Stall
26), ‘After’ (e.g. Stall 26*), and ‘Most Recent’. The latter will show the average of
the
newest-saved Stall
memory, e.g. if Stall 26 and Stall 26* are saved Stall 26* will be used in the calculations. If only
Stall
26 is
saved that will be used. This table effectively shows the range of pulsation values for the entire
dairy
as
it
was
at completion of testing. If a Stall required maintenance a ‘Before’ and ‘After’ memory should be
saved,
otherwise only a ‘Before’ will exist.
Improved Regulation Graph vacuum scale The
Vacuum range of the graph in Regulation mode has been changed from 0kPa – 60kPa to 20kPa – 60kPa
to better highlight undershoot and overshoot issues.
Easier to delete Vacuum Recorder graphs A
‘Delete’ button has been added to Vacuum Recorder mode so a bad recording can be deleted and
restarted
without having to save then delete the memory.
Hourglass shown while generating reports While
a report is being generated an animated hourglass is shown indicating the system is busy.
Changes since v2.3.1:
Improvements:
Various improvements
Fixes:
Various bug fixes
Changes since v2.1.1:
Improvements:
Support newer processor board hardware revisions
Updated operating system to latest version
Fixes:
logimat report export; use ms for Dphase
logimat report export; fix use of before/after for vac record lookup
Changes since v2.0.1:
Improvements:
Language selection has been added to Setup.
French language translations added for measurements and report.
French Logimat C1-4 and P1-4 labels are now shown on the report.
Undershoot Minimum and Overshoot Maximum vacuums now displayed in Regulation Mode.
Support added for the ‘.duf’ format update file to be used in the next firmware release.
The default (A+B)% range for alarms was 60% - 70% and has been changed to 55% - 60%.
Additional values have been added to the Pulsation Summary table in the report.
A Robot icon has been added to the Alarms setup for Robot Milking Units.
The Manual Zero button has been moved to the Info screen.
If attempting to exit Regulation mode without saving an ‘Are you sure?’ prompt now appears.
Fixes:
Various bug fixes and improvements to the French Logimat file export.
Improvements:
Regulation and Vacuum Recorder modes have ‘Before’ and ‘After’ (*) memories.
Can toggle between % and ms for Pulsation values in report.
The date and time is shown in the Report index making it easier to identify Sessions.
Added French ‘Logimat’ support. Subscription only. Requires a Feature unlock code.
Vacuum Measurement icons represent ISO measurement points.
Saved Pulsation memories in the Select Stall screen show the alarm result (tick/cross).
Regulation Test icons automatically change between 1 and 2 cups/clusters depending on the number of
Stalls
set for the session in accordance with ISO requirements.
The ‘look and feel’ of the report has been improved.
Added configurable ‘Features’ so extra non-standard support can be enabled by InnovAg.
The report has a ‘Contact Innovag’ link at the bottom to email the DairyTest Lite serial number
which is
needed to enable features.
Regulation tests allow saving if some values are bad.
Report shows a table of the Minimum, Median and Maximum of B phase, D phase and Rate across all
pulsation memories. Useful to quickly check the spread of values across the dairy.
Improved About/Info screen.
Fixes:
Many stability fixes to prevent errors/crashes when saving memories.
Improved report printing performance. Chrome is the recommended browser but others may work.
If all Pulsation values are zero alarms are not shown.
