Presets / Inventories
• This screen has two options and are briefly discussed below. The proper option will
be selected in the Setup screen Button 14.
1. If your weigh system uses a separate bin from the supply bin to weigh the feed
for feeding.
2. If your supply bin is equipped with load cells to perform the weighing and
feeding function.
If you are using Option 2 above, it is recommended that you use the
SJB1, which has a built-in interrupt switch. This will stop the feeder
fill system if feed is being delivered. To restart the fill system, the
button is pressed again at the end of the delivery. If the feeder fill
system is not restarted within 60 minutes by pressing the button, it
will restart automatically.
Option 1: Separate Weigh Bin
1. These represent the two separate weighing systems this control can handle.
2. Supply Bin - this is the current inventory of the supply bin which is a calculation
only derived by adding delivery amounts and subtracting amounts that are
transferred to the weigh bin (non-editable).
3. Weigh Bin - This is the current quantity of feed in the weigh bin. This is a true
measurement produced by the load cells (non-editable).
4. Preset - this is the amount you want to feed at the next feeding time. This
quantity is manually entered. If this is not changed, the control will continue to
use the existing value.
5. Feed Delivered - this is where you manually enter the amount of feed delivered
which is taken from a delivery ticket, weigh ticked, etc. This figure added to the
above supply bin inventory (#2), gives you the current inventory weight.
6. Agreed - after entering the feed delivered you confirm this number by pressing
the “+” button. This will temporarily place a “YES” in this column.
7. Last Delivery - this indicates the amount of the last delivery (non-editable)
