System Setup
The units are easily wired by a qualified technician using standard communication wiring. See the BinTrac Installation
Manual for detailed wiring information. The System setup has two levels of settings: 1) Operation Settings: These are
settings that may be changed for normal use by an operator and 2) System Settings: These are a one-time setup
usually done at the time of installation.
Operation Settings
New BinTrac bin weighing system installations require a one-time system configuration procedure before use. In this
mode you can configure the number of bins you wish to monitor.
Selecting
Bins
This procedure will allow you to enable the BinTrac Indicator to only scan and display the weights
of bins that are connected.
1.
Ver 3.18 & up (All BT260s and some BT200s)
- On the BinTrac Indicator, press and
hold the BIN key until
appears, then release the BIN key and
will be
displayed.
Ver 3.17 & below (most BT200s)
- On the BinTrac Indicator, press and hold the BIN key
until
appears, then release the BIN key. Press the LOWER
key once and
will be
displayed.
All the bin selector indicators will illuminate showing their current status. If a bin indicator is on steady, it is
selected as being monitored. If the indicator is flashing, that bin is not being monitored.
2. Press the BIN key to select the desired bin.
3. If the indicator is on steady, the bin is being monitored. If it is flashing, the bin is not being monitored. Press the
UPPER
or LOWER key to toggle bin monitoring on or off.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for additional bins. After bins A through D have been configured correctly for your
application, press the BIN key and the unit displays
. Press the UPPER
key three times until
is displayed.
5. Press the BIN key to exit programming mode and return to bin weighing. Unit will start auto sequencing after 5
minutes of no activity (no keystrokes).
Calibrate Bin Empty (Zero)
This procedure will zero the BinTrac system weight by correcting for the dead-load of the empty bin. For the most
accurate zero reading, ensure the bin is empty and free of any additional weight.
1. Press the BIN key to select the desired bin to zero.
2. Press both the LOWER
and the UPPER
key and hold for 5 seconds. While held, the bar graph and bin
indicators will flash until 5 seconds have passed and the indicated bin level has been zeroed.
3. Unit returns to Auto Sequence mode after this procedure and will start auto sequencing after
5 minutes of no
activity (no keystrokes).
