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.
