Operation Manual

Version 2.0 3 Part Number MAN-000009

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 a few 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 load cell brackets allow the BinTrac system 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.

BinTrac Breeder Control Remote Display

A BinTrac Breeder Control Remote Display is a standard BinTrac Breeder Control indicator configured as a Remote

Display. A hardwire cable must connect the Remote Display to the Master BinTrac Breeder Control. Required for

dual Breeder Control configurations.

BinTrac Remote Display (Optional)

A BinTrac Remote Display is a standard BinTrac Indicator configured as a Remote Display. A hardwire cable must

connect the Remote Display to the Master BinTrac Breeder Control.

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.

24-Hour Usage

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

Remote Display

A BinTrac Indicator is configured as a Remote Display which will display the same updated weight information from

the host Breeder Indicator.

Operation Manual

Version 2.0 4 Part Number MAN-000009

About This Manual

The BinTrac Breeder Control Operation Manual is divided into a few different sections:

•System Settings –This section covers how to access and navigate the SETUP menu. It gives a basic

overview of what each setting is used for.

•Setup and Operation –This section covers the specific setup and operation instructions for each

configuration that is possible with the BinTrac Breeder Control. Refer to Configurations below to determine

which configuration is appropriate for your scenario.

•Service –This section covers the basic maintenance of the BinTrac Breeder Control system as well as

troubleshooting should problems arise.

Configurations

The BinTrac Breeder Control can be used in different configurations based on your needs. Before beginning the

setup of your system, determine which configuration you will be using. Below is an overview of the four different

configurations of batching. After determining the appropriate configuration, proceed to the portion of the manual for

that specific configuration by using the noted page numbers.

Gain-In-Weight (Load Batch Method)

Pages 12 - 18

The BinTrac Breeder Control System allows the user to select the amount of feed required for the day. The BinTrac

Breeder Control System controls a conveying system to deliver feed from the Inventory Bin to the Weigh Bin. The

Weigh Bin weighs the feed delivered and the BinTrac Breeder Control System stops the delivery when the required

amount of feed has been delivered to the Weigh Bin. In this configuration, the system batches into the weigh bin until

the total weight (gross weight) equals the target batch amount.

Operation Manual

Version 2.0 5 Part Number MAN-000009

Loss-In-Weight (Unload Batch Method)

Pages 19 - 25

The Loss-In-Weight (Unload Batch Method) allows the user to select the target batch amount of feed required for

the day. The BinTrac Breeder Control System will enable the hopper or feed line fill system allowing the feed line

system to transfer the feed into the house until the required amount of feed has been delivered. In this

configuration, this system batches and unloads until the batch target amount is unloaded from the bin.

Inventory Bins with Dual Breeder Console Unloads

Pages 26 - 36

Dual Breeder Consoles can be connected to a single inventory bin for programmed batching of two independent

amounts on separate delivery systems. The system can be used for both rooster (Master) and hen (Remote)

feeding by enabling/disabling the appropriate feed delivery system. The system features an auto/manual override

feature for each auger via an external switch.

Version 2.0 6 Part Number MAN-000009

Weigh Bin with Dual Breeder Consoles for Programmed Fill and Batch

Pages 37 - 47

This configuration provides automated filling and batching of hen feed using a weigh bin. A Remote Breeder

Console provides automated filling of a programmed gross weight amount into a weigh bin. A Master Breeder

Console provides automated loss-in-weight batching of a programmed amount for the hen feeding. There is an

auto/manual override feature for each auger via an external switch.

Batch

Enables you to set the batch option to LoAd or u.LoAd (unload). 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 or ..

Segmented display:

Rated Value

The average rated output in millivolt/volt (mV/V) of the load cells. If using load cells other than the HerdStar load

cells, you may need adjust this value appropriately.

*IMPORTANT –DO NOT change this setting from the default of 3.000 if you are using HerdStar load cells.

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

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

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

Segmented display:

Load Cell Capacity Value

Sets the total capacity of each bin. The total capacity is the sum of all the load cells rated capacity. This can be

calculated by multiplying the capacity of individual load cells by the number of legs on the bin. Example: A four-

legged bin using 10k load cells would result in an L.C.CAP setting of 40000.

Note: When setting up for kilograms, convert the total capacity to kilograms.

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

2. Use the UPPER key to increase the value by 1 lb.

3. Use the LOWER key to decrease the value by 1 lb.

Segmented Display:

Operation Manual

Version 2.0 9 Part Number MAN-000009

Increment Value

Sets the increment that the bin weight will be rounded to. 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., and 50..

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

11,314 lbs., the segmented display will read 11310. Refer to Figure 1 for more

examples based on a net weight of 11,314 pounds.

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

value is then scaled by 10. For example, an increment value of 1. would cause

120462 pounds to show as 12046. on the display. This is required when the

displayed weight will exceed the 5 available digits on the BTB200.

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

2. Use the UPPER key to increase the increment value.

3. Use the LOWER key to decrease the increment value.

Segmented display:

Full Value

Sets the weight of a full bin. This is for calibration of the LED bar graph level. The

value dictates at what net weight the bar graph will display completely full (all 16 LEDs lit).

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

2. Use the UPPER key to increase the value by 1 lb.

3. Use the LOWER key to decrease the value by 1 lb.

Segmented display:

Zero Value

Sets the weight of the empty bin. 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. By setting the zero value to 1200, the BinTrac indicator calculates the

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

Note: If the bin was zeroed on the Indicator by pressing and holding the UPPER and LOWER keys (see Page

16 –Startup step 5), this field will display the automatically calculated amount.

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

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

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