Operation Settings
New BinTrac Breeder Control installations require a one-time system configuration procedure before use. In this mode

This procedure will allow you to select the batching method you wish to use. On the BinTrac
Indicator, press and hold the SELECT key for approximately 8-10 seconds. The bin level gauge
will go blank, and all of the bin selector indicators will illuminate showing their current status.
1. Press the SELECT key to select the desired bin.
2. Press the
key
to proceed. The indicator for bin “A” will remain on, and all others will turn off. If the indicator
is on steady, “A” bin is being monitored. If it is flashing, the bin is not being monitored. Press the
or

3. Repeat steps 2-3 for additional bins.
4. Unit returns to Weight Display mode after this procedure or after 20 seconds of no activity (no keystrokes).
