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.
