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.
