Operation Manual

BinTrac Breeder Control Operation Manual Ver. 1.01 Rev 1.04 3 Part # MAN-000008

Thank you for purchasing a BinTrac Breeder Control from Herdstar, LLC.

Overview

Your BinTrac Breeder Control provides a cost effective way to automatically monitor bin level and batch a programmed

load or unload amount.

Components

A BinTrac Breeder Control consists of four basic components:

BinTrac Breeder Control

This is the main unit of the BinTrac system. The BinTrac Breeder Control communicates

with the Smart Summing Boxes to register the weight of material in the bins. The material

level is computed and displayed on the LED bar graph.

Load Cell Bracket

Four or more loadcell brackets allow the BinTrac to accurately measure the material weight in your bins. The Smart

Summing Box averages the signals from all brackets to minimize errors that could result from voids (holes) in the

material.

Smart Summing Box

A single Smart Summing Box per bin communicates the current reading on the leg brackets to the Bintrac Breeder

Control.

BinTrac Power Supply

This provides the power for the BinTrac Breeder Control. The power supply converts the line voltage to low voltage.

Features

Weight Display

The Bintrac Breeder Control displays the gross weight of the bin and its level.

Batch Run

The Bintrac Breeder Control features a relay to enable a load or unload system for batching a programmed amount.

Fill Events

The Bintrac Breeder Control records the net weight increase of the last four fill events for each enabled bin.

24hr Usage

The Bintrac Breeder Control records the last four operational 24 hour usage amounts.

Remote Display

A Bintrac Breeder Control can be configured as a Remote Display which will display the same updated weight

information from the host BinTrac Indicator.

Operation Manual

BinTrac Breeder Control Operation Manual Ver. 1.01 Rev 1.04 4 Part # MAN-000008

System Setup

The units are easily wired by a qualified technician using standard communication wiring. See Appendix A and

Appendix B drawings for detailed load and unload wiring information. The System setup has two levels of settings: 1)

Operation Settings: These are settings that may be changed for normal use by an operator and 2) System Settings:

These are a one-time setup usually done at the time of installation.

Operation Settings

New BinTrac Breeder Control installations require a one-time system configuration procedure before use. In this mode

you can configure the batching method you wish to use.

Selecting Batching Method

This procedure will allow you to select the batching method you wish to use. On the BinTrac

Indicator, press and hold the SELECT key for approximately 8-10 seconds. The bin level gauge

will go blank, and all of the bin selector indicators will illuminate showing their current status.

1. Press the SELECT key to select the desired bin.

2. Press the key to proceed. The indicator for bin “A” will remain on, and all others will turn off. If the indicator

is on steady, “A” bin is being monitored. If it is flashing, the bin is not being monitored. Press the or

key to toggle bin monitoring on or off.

3. Repeat steps 2-3 for additional bins.

4. Unit returns to Weight Display mode after this procedure or after 20 seconds of no activity (no keystrokes).

Calibrate Bin Empty (Zero)

This procedure will zero the BinTrac weight by correcting for the dead-load of the empty bin.

1. Press the SELECT key to select desired Bin.

2. Press the and then the key and hold for 5 seconds. While held, the bar graph and bin indicators will

flash until 5 seconds have passed and the indicated bin level has been zeroed.

3. Unit returns to Weight Display mode after this procedure or after 20 seconds of no activity (no keystrokes).

Figure 1

System Settings

The setup mode is used to configure the one-time system setup settings for each bin.

If there is no activity for 20 seconds while in SETUP mode, the system will exit SETUP mode and return to Weight

Display mode.

Accessing the Setup mode

This menu can be accessed with two methods:

1. This method requires you to power the device down and wait at least 3 seconds before

re-applying power to the system. When the device is powered up it will automatically

enter SETUP mode and display the Ver.

2. This method requires you to hold the SELECT button down for approximately

10 seconds, at which time SETUP mode will be displayed.

Segmented display:

Navigating Setup mode

To navigate through the options in Setup mode, you can use the and the keys to cycle

through the options/parameters. See Figure 1 for the SETUP menu flow chart.

Selecting an Option in Setup mode

To select an option/parameter to edit in SETUP mode, you must navigate to the option

you wish to edit. Navigate using the and keys, and then pressing the SELECT key

when you reach the desired option.

Batch

Enables you to set the batch option from LoAd to u.LoAd. LoAd is used when you want material batched into a bin.

Based on the gross weight of the bin, material is batched into the bin until the batched amount equals the gross

amount. u.LoAd is used when you want material batched out of a bin. In this case, the bin is holding a bulk amount of

feed and will batch out the programmed batch amount.

1. Press the SELECT key to enter menu.

2. Use the or keys to select Load or uLoad.

Segmented display:

Rated

cell has a rated output, specified in mV/V. If using load cells other than the Herdstar load cells, adjust this value

appropriately.

1. Press the SELECT key to select the desired Bin.

2. Use the key to increase the rated output by 0.001.

3. Use the key to decrease the rated output by 0.001.

Segmented display:

Capacity

Sets the system capacity of each bin. The system capacity is the sum of all the load cells rated capacity. When

setting for kilograms, convert the total system capacity to kilograms.

Ex: Six leg bin with six 10k loadcells, capacity setting for pounds is 60,000. Capacity setting for kilograms is

27,215. 1. Press the SELECT key to select the desired Bin.

Increment Value

Sets the increment that the bin weight will display at. The reading from a bin is

rounded to the nearest multiple of the increment, using standard rounding rules.

The possible values are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1., 2.,5.,10.,20.,50..

See figure 2.

** Example: If an increment of 10 is selected and the net value of a bin’s weight is

18,582 lbs.; the segmented display will read 18580.

Note: When the increment number is followed by a “.” the displayed weight

value is then scaled by 10. (120462 is displayed as 12046.) This is required

when the displayed weight will exceed five digits.

1. Press the SELECT key to select the desired bin.

2. Use the key to increase the value to the nearest 10 units.

3. Use the key to decrease the value to the nearest 10 units.

Segmented display:

Full Value

Sets the maximum weight of a full bin either in pounds or kilograms. It is how much material the bin can hold. This is

for calibration of the LED bar graph level. The value says at what net weight the bar graph will display completely full

(all 16 LEDs lit).

1. Press the SELECT key to select the desired Bin.

2. Use the key to increase the value by 1 unit.

3. Use the key to decrease the value by 1 unit.

Segmented display:

Zero Value

Sets the weight of the empty bin either in pounds or kilograms. This value can also be set in the Operation Settings.

This is used to compensate for the empty weight of the bin to give an accurate value for the net weight of the material

inside the bin. ** Example: A bin weighs 1,200 lbs. empty. This is then set to the zero value: the BinTrac then

calculates the material weight as the total weight less the zero weight value.

1. Press the SELECT key to select the desired Bin.

2. Use the key to increase the value by 1 unit.

3. Use the key to decrease the value by 1 unit.
