Installation Manual

Version 1.1 3 Part Number MAN-000014

Thank you for purchasing a BinTrac Dual Breeder Control System from HerdStar, LLC.

Installation Overview

This section covers the mounting and wiring of the BinTrac system. Anyone responsible for programming and

operating the BinTrac system should also read the Operator’s Manual.

This symbol means the text has extra importance since it is describing the importance of a feature or

explaining a step to which you should pay close attention to avoid problems, or to which safety is a

concern.

Components

A BinTrac system consists of a number of basic components:

BinTrac Dual Breeder Control

This is the main unit of the BinTrac system. The BinTrac Dual Breeder Control communicates with the Smart Summing

Boxes to register the weight of feed in the bins. The feed level is computed and displayed on the LED bar graphs.

One Dual Breeder Control can control two feed bins.

Load Cell Bracket

Four or more load cell brackets allow the BinTrac Dual Breeder Control to accurately measure the feed level in your

bins. The Smart Summing Box averages the signals from all brackets to minimize errors that could result from voids

(holes) in the feed.

Smart Summing Box

One Smart Summing Box per bin communicates the current reading on the leg brackets to the BinTrac Dual Breeder

Control.

BinTrac Power Supply

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

BinTrac Remote Display

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

connect the Remote Display to the BinTrac Dual Breeder Control.

Installation

Mount the Bracket Assembly

1. Remove all bolts connecting the leg to the footpad. Loosen the original

anchor bolt but leave it intact at the bottom of the footpad. The footpad

can and should be removed if it is binding or interfering with lifting the

leg. (Figure 1)

2. Remove the 1/2” bolts from the C-channel adapter of the bracket

assembly and set them aside for now.

3. Adjust the top bolt on the bracket assembly so the C-channel is

approximately 3/4” between the top of the C-channel and the bracket.

4. Mark the holes of the C-channel on the leg and drill using 1/2” drill bit.

(Figure 2)

5. Put the bolts in from the C-channel side through the leg. Place a washer

and Nyloc nut on each bolt and hand-tighten.

6. Position the bracket assembly so that it is 3/8” away from the bin leg and

the C-channel is centered under the load cell.

Failure to properly align the bracket may cause the load

cell to fail.

7. Hand-tighten the top bolt on the bracket assembly to make sure the

bracket is straight and to keep it in place.

8. Tighten C-channel bolts to 33 ft-lbs. of torque. Make sure the

bracket does not move during tightening.

Lift the Bin

9. Using a marker, place a line the top of the bolt. (Figure 3)

10. Tighten all the lifting bolts 1 or 2 full turns at a time until each leg

is at 8 turns.

11. There must be a ½” (+/- 1/8”) gap underneath each leg when

lifting is complete. (Figure 4)

12. The top of the C-channel MUST NOT be up against the bracket

assembly: a clearance of 1/4” (+/- 1/8”) must be maintained.

(Figure 5)

13. Be sure to check height of each leg and verify the bracket is not

touching the leg.

Figure 1: Remove bolts from bin leg

IMPORTANT: MOUNT THE BRACKET ASSEMBLY ONE (1) LEG AT A TIME.

DETACHING MORE THAN ONE LEG AT A TIME COULD ALLOW THE BIN TO TIP

OVER. INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT!

Figure 2: Mark holes of the C-Channel on the legs

Figure 3: Place a line centered on top of bolt.

Version 1.1 8 Part Number MAN-000014

Repeat Steps 1 –13 for all bin legs. After completing steps 1-13 for each leg (and

before continuing to step 14), re-examine each leg to ensure proper clearances as

noted and adjust as needed.

Anchor the Bin

14. Drill two anchor bolt holes 2 1/4” deep in the pad diagonally

opposite of each other. (Figure 6)

When anchoring 15K or greater assemblies you

will use four (4) anchor bolts.

15. Hammer bolts into cement until they are firmly in place.

16. Tighten the nuts of the anchor bolts using a socket or hammer drill to

anchor the bracket assembly. Torque to 55 ft.-lbs.

17. Drop retention clip into place over bolt as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 6: Drill anchor bolts 2 1/4" deep.

Figure 4: Lift until there is a 1/2" (+/- 1/8”) gap.

Figure 5: Leave 1/4” (+/- 1/8”) gap between C-

channel and bracket.

Wiring the Smart Summing Box

In order to get a reading from the load cells, you need to tie them all together into a Smart Summing Box. One Smart

Summing Box per bin is required. Refer to Addendums A through C for more in depth wiring illustrations.

18. Mount the Smart Summing Box (SSB) on the crossbar under the bin near the front using self-tapping screws

where it is easily accessible for maintenance.

19. Run the cable from each load cell to the Smart Summing Box.

20. Before plugging the cables in, remove the black plastic lock nut from each cable strain relief. Remove the red

plug from each predrilled hole. Pass the cable through the box and then the nut. Be sure to have a drip loop

outside the SSB.

21. Plug in the load cells starting in the upper left until all

load cells are plugged in.

22. Pass the communication cable through the gray liquid

tight strain relief on the right side of the enclosure.

23. Using an appropriately sized wire nut, connect the

wires according to the chart in Figure 8.

24. Attach the GREEN/YELLOW ground wire to the bin

via one of the screws used to attach the SSB.

25. Run the communication wire to the BinTrac Dual Breeder

Control.

26. Tighten every strain-relief (“dome nut”) on the box. First, tighten the nuts to attach the strain reliefs to the box.

Then, tighten the dome nut until the cable cannot be pulled out of the box.

27. Set the bin to A using the dip switches inside the summing box. (Figure 9).
