Safety Instructions and Warnings
Safety Instructions and Warnings
•
Read all instructions in this manual carefully, before operating the Control.
•
Ground all electrical equipment for safety.
•
The installation of the Control must be done by an authorized technician /
installer
•
All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and
national electrical codes.
•
Electrical current to control must be hard wired into breaker box, eliminating any
receptacle.
•
Control should be located in an area that is protected from the elements.
•
Front cover must be kept closed at all times except when front panel is in use.
•
Control should be mounted securely to an internal wall or to a board that is
mounted to a wall.
•
It is recommended that access codes be used to avoid unintentional alterations to
the settings.
•
It is recommended that an audible warning device (i.e. siren, phone dialer, etc.)
be used to inform grower of unacceptable conditions.
•
Check the Control regularly for possible malfunctioning. Notify your local
Chore-Time distributor of any problems.
•
It is recommended that the control be energized year round. This will help the
interior of the control to stay dry, and extend the life of the memory backup
battery. If the house is empty, use the manual switches to discontinue the function
of equipment wired to the control.
•
Check your Control regularly for proper functioning. This control is
manufactured to provide reliable operation as well as an alert system to notify
you of system failures. However, this cannot be 100% guaranteed because of
circumstances that are beyond Chore-Time’s control.
• Chore-Time takes no responsibility for any possible damage as a result of
improper settings and non or partially functioning installation.
• Chore-Time takes no responsibility for any possible damage due to failure,
damage, or malfunction resulting from misuse, abuse, negligence, alteration,
accident, lack of proper maintenance, improper or insufficient power sources or
electrical connections, impact of foreign objects, tornado, hurricane, other
violent storm, flood, fire, pollutants, chemicals, acts of God, or other causes
outside the reasonable control of Chore-Time.

Notice to Electrician
Chore-Tronics Feeder Control
Notice to Electrician
TM
Each relay output in this Chore-Tronics control is designed to control 1 H.P. for
many years of service. The relays are single pole, normally open contacts and break
only one line of the power to the various loads. (The control is not to be considered
the disconnect device for motor loads.) If a load of more than 1 H.P. is controlled by
a relay in the control, additional contactors are required and some of the basic
flexibility of the control is compromised. It is very important that the owner/
integrator understands that the grouping of loads compromises flexibility.
It is recommended that the installation diagram on page 32 be used to configure the
house, and the relay decal inside the box is filled out completely. If this step is
completed prior to wiring, it will eliminate any unnecessary confusion. Filling out the
relay position decal will help to properly group the loads.

Initial Setup
Initial Setup
1. Referring to the drawing on page 32 (as was mentioned in the previous section),
attach the small decals that are included with the control to the numbered toggle
switches on the face of the control. The names of the devices have to be
associated with the switch numbers which in turn correspond to the relay
numbers. This step cannot be avoided. The control requires that the relay

Viewing Screen
The viewing screen has a display which can show 8 lines, each containing 40
characters. This is the area that will display the requested information when a subject
button is pressed. The viewing screen will always remain lit. When other subjects are
not shown, the Status screen will be displayed

Navigation Buttons
These buttons allow you to scroll up and down in those few screens that have more
information than will fit on the screen. When HOLDING DOWN an up or down
arrow button, this will activate “auto repeat”, which accelerates the scrolling process.
The left and right arrows are used only when you are in the Edit Mode (explained
below) and will move a cursor to an editable (changeable) position. This will
highlight the area you want to change.
Edit Buttons
When the button labeled EDIT is pressed and you are looking at a screen that has
editable fields, a cursor will appear. With the Navigation Buttons, you can move the
cursor to the position on the screen you want to edit. By pressing the “+” or “–”
button, it will change the numerical value up or down, or if you are changing text (i.e.
“yes” or “no”) it will select the possible text choices. These buttons also have “auto
repeat” which will accelerate the changing of numbers.

Introduction to Control
Chore-Tronics Feeder Control
To provide for security in setting your controls, there is an optional security feature
that will appear only when you initiate the Edit process. When you press the EDIT
button, the control will automatically ask for an access code. This is a four digit
number that you have selected while setting up the control and is explained under the
“Setup” section. Once you have inserted the correct code, the control will allow you
to make all the edits you need. However, if five minutes have passed since your last
edit, and you would like to make further edits, you will have to reinsert your access
code. As long as you are working with the settings and the five minutes have not
elapsed, you can make as many edits as you need without reinserting the code.
*
{Note}
An example of using the Edit Buttons and the Navigation Buttons are
discussed later in this section.
See “How to Maneuver in the Viewing Screen”
Subject Buttons
On the front of the Controller are 14 subject keys each with an indicator light.
As each subject button is pressed, the subject that is described beside the button will
appear on the screen and the light on the other side of the button will be lit. After
viewing that subject for five minutes, and if no other buttons are pressed, the control
will automatically return to Status.
An explanation of each subject is described in the following section entitled
“Operation”.
Indication Lights and Auto/Manual Switches
Each relay output has its own three position switch that allows the user to manually
control the relay. Each switch is labeled showing what function it controls and can
be placed in three positions — “ON”, “HOLD”, or “AUTO”. The “AUTO” position
is for normal operation and allows the control to perform all the functions. Changing
the switches to “ON” or “HOLD” will either enable or disable (an enabled relay
allows current to flow to the equipment wired to it) that particular relay. When a
switch is in a position other than “AUTO”, a message will appear in the Status screen
advising to “check switches”. The software provided for off-sight monitoring will
also inform the user of the switch positions. This does not apply to unused relays.
The light above the switch indicates that the relay is activated. This light will stay off
if the switch is in the “HOLD” position.

Possible alarms discussed:
1. Power Failure - if you lose power, you will get an alarm condition.
2. Weigh Fill 1 (2) Presets Not Met - if the preset to the Weigh Bin is not
completed within the allotted time established in screens “2” and “9”. This will
create an alarm condition. This alarm condition can be caused by:
a. The run time not being adequate.
b. A malfunction in the delivery system.
3. Flow Error - If there is no increase in weight during a short, specified period of
time, the control will turn off the fill system. It will restart, and if there still is no
increase it will go through this cycle two more times. If there still is no change,
it will shut the auger down and activate the alarm. Causes for this condition can
be:
a. Supply bin out of feed.
b. Feed bridge in the supply bin—this is the purpose for starting and
stopping, to attempt to break the feed lose.
4. Weigh Bin 1 (2) Not Empty - an alarm will be activated if the weigh bin doesn’t
indicate empty within the prescribed run time in screens “3” and “10”. Causes for
this situation can be:
a. Bridging in weigh bin.
b. Birds not consuming feed in anticipated time.
c. A malfunction in the delivery system.
d. A malfunction in the feeding system.
e. System run time inadequate.
5. Feeder Fill 1 (2) not completed - same as #4 except preset is being satisfied by
the supply bin and a weigh bin is not being used.

All setups are performed in the Edit Mode with the use of the
Navigation Buttons to move you around to editable positions and the
(+) and (–) buttons to make changes and to answer questions.
1. Control # - this is where you identify the control being setup. This is important
when a PC is part of your system.
2. Units of Measurement - metric or non-metric
3. Clock Type - if you want to have time of day represented in a 12 hour clock (a.m.
and p.m.), or a 24 hour clock format.
4. Time of Day - enter the current time.
5. Date - enter the current day (DDMMMYY).
6. Configuration - this is where you indicate the type of Fill, Feeder and Weigh
configuration your house has. Choose from the examples given on the following
pages, and insert the appropriate number.
7. Use Secondary Schedule - when you choose your feeding program in BUTTON
13 (everyday, E.O.D., etc.) the Light Clock screen BUTTON 5 and Water Clock
screen BUTTON 12 schedules will follow the same sequence. If you want to vary
this—for example water everyday and feed every other day, then answer yes.
* {Note}
Steps 8 and 9 calibrate your weigh bin.
8. Zero Setting - when the bin or bins being used for weighing are completely
empty then you answer “YES” to establish the zero setting calibration.
9. Standard Weights - to further calibrate the weigh bin, take a known amount
such or 1% or 2% of the bins capacity and suspend it evenly from the bin. Then
enter this amount in that space provided and answer “YES”
10. Actual Weight - this indicates the actual weight prior to and after calibration.
This value is not editable.
11. This area is for diagnostic use and is non-editable.
12. Gallons Per Pulse - If you are keeping track of water usage, and you have a
device on your water meter that has a pulsed output, enter here what the
instructions from the water meter say that each pulse represents. (example
gallons or litres)
13. Bird Age Unit - in your Data Screen BUTTON 7, do you want the bird’s age
displayed in days or weeks.
14. Data For Eggs - in your Data Screen BUTTON 7, are you interested in
maintaining data on egg’s. Obviously if this control is used in a Pullet House, the
answer is “NO”.

15. Access Code (security) - an access code is available for added security if
needed. The access code is a four (4) digit number. This number is entered by
using the numbers of the Subject buttons.
For example:
If the access code were “1234”, you would press the Current Conditions button,
Set Temperature-Timer button, Outputs Temperatures button, and the Feed
Clock button when asked for the access code.
From the factory, the Access Code is “1111”. This is a special number which
causes the control to not ask you for the access code when you first press the Edit
button.
If you decide to define your own access code, it is done in this area of the setup
screen. Answer “yes” to the question, “change access code?”, and respond to the
screen’s question.
If you later decide you don’t want to use an access code, you simply change the
access code back to “1111”. If you forget your access code, call Chore-Time. It
is certainly recommended that you write down your access code in a safe place.

Chore-Tronics Feeder Control
Scale Junction Box Add-On’s
SJB - SJB1 (Scale Junction Boxes)
When using a scale system along with your feeder control, you will need a scale
junction box (SJB or SJB1) to attach the cables from the load cells, and to transmit a
signal to the control. Each SJB comes with a mounting bracket that allows you to
mount the box easily to a Chore-Time or Brock Bin.
When mounting the SJB or SJB1 to the bin, always make sure you
use water tight connectors and bring your cables through the
bottom of the box.
In addition to the cable inputs from the load cells, there will be a cable running to the
feeder control. There is no length restriction on the cable and we recommend using
our sensor cable part no. 42208 for this application.
There are two different junction boxes. The one you use depends on the weighing
application:
SJB (Scale Junction Box) #40733
This is recommended when your load cells are located under a separate bin from the
supply bin.
SJB1 (Scale Junction Box with Interrupt Switch) #41519
If you are weighing and feeding from the same bin (supply bin), then the SJB1 should
be used. The SJB1 has an interrupt switch which will temporarily stop the feeder fill
system in the event feed is being delivered during the feeding period. This will allow
you to maintain an accurate preset calculation.
When the delivery process is completed, the button is pushed again to resume the
feeder auger operation. If the button is not pushed a second time, the feeder auger will
automatically be activated 60 minutes after it was first deactivated.
See following pages for wiring diagram.

Installation and Operation of Scale Load Cells
1. Mount Base - The Mount Base is the
heavy, steel frame that the bin leg sets on.
The Load Cell is secured within the Mount
Base. (T.C. type shown)

2. Load Cell - The Load Cells are the
sensing devices of the scale. They mount
inside the Base and are secured in place by
(2) pins. (T.C. type shown)

MF973-14 2/96
3. Top Mount - The Top Mount is the flat
steel plate that connects the bin leg to the
Mount Base.
Beam Assembly - The Beam Assembly is
used on 6-legged bins that are not to be
mounted on a bin platform. The (2) Beam
Assemblies carry the load of (2) legs each,
thus requiring (4) Mount Kits instead of 6.
The Beam Assemblies may be used on bins
that carry a maximum gross weight of
48,000 lbs (21,773 kg.)
MF973-13 1/93
Steel Framing - Steel framing is used in
applications that require both feed bins be
combined. One scale system is installed
beneath the steel framing.
(Frame not supplied by Chore-Time)
MF973-75 3/96
System Planning
Carefully plan the system layout prior to beginning the installation.
The bin should be installed so that no components (such as ladders, conveyors,
conduit, etc.) come in contact with the ground or other building structures in a way
that would cause an inaccurate weight reading.
The diagrams, on the following two pages show the common system layouts. Refer
to the diagram that best fits your particular application.
*
{Note}
MT1559A 10/6/99

For bins with six legs, use of Beam Assemblies is recommended to
a Maximum of 24 tons (21772.8 kg).

Installation and Operation of Scale Load Cells
Chore-Tronics Feeder Control
Site Planning
To insure accurate operation, the scales must be installed on a flat, level, well drained
surface. Chore-Time recommends setting the scales and bins on a 12" (305 mm) thick
concrete pad. Consult your feed bin manual for concrete specifications.
Allow concrete to harden completely before anchor bolt holes are drilled.
Refer to the Flex-Auger Installation Manual and the Feed Bin Assembly Manual to
determine bin-to-building placement.
For installations that require a storage bin to fill a Weigh Bin, some dimensional
specifications are provided (See Figures 20-23). For ease of installation and most
trouble-free operation, the Weigh Bin should be located directly in line with the
FLEX-AUGER Delivery System. Some installations may require the storage bin to
be placed at 90 degrees to the fill system. This type of installation is acceptable.
Typically, the Weigh Bin is set 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 m) from the building. This varies
somewhat depending on the desired height of the FLEX-AUGER System inside the
building. Two 45 degree PVC elbows and one 10 foot (3 m) PVC tube are required
to go between the Weigh Bin and the building. To place the bin nearer to or farther
from the building, additional tubes or elbows may be required.
*
{Note}
One pad should be used for installations that require a Bin Platform.
Refer to the Bin Platform Information and Specifications on pages
53 through 58.

Bin Platform Specifications
Chore-Time does not supply bin platforms. However, the necessary specifications
and dimensions are provided on pages 53 - 58 to have the bin platforms built locally.
Construction drawings, along with steel specifications, are provided for various sizes
of bins and scale capacities. Refer to the applicable diagram for the system you are
installing. Please note that some of the bin platforms specify a pivot bracket to allow
each half of the platform move freely.
For specifications of bin platforms other than those supplied in this manual, consult

Installation of the Scale Components
Step 1: Mount Base Location
Refer to the feed bin assembly instructions to determine the exact dimension between
the bin legs.
Lay the Mount Bases in their final locations so that a Top Plate is directly under each
feed bin leg. See Figure 26.
Secure the Mount Base to the concrete with the concrete anchors supplied. The T.C.
15 uses 7/16" concrete anchors. All others use the 1/2" concrete anchors.
Secure a Top Mount to each bin leg, using 1/2" hardware supplied.
If the bin legs must be welded to the Top Plate, be careful not to damage the Load
Cells (or other components) during welding. Later in the installation, it may be
necessary to install some shims between the bin and the Top Mount, therefore
welding is not recommended.
*
{Note}
If welding is required, clamp welding ground cable to bin leg (not to
the Load Cell Mount).

Step 2: Mount Base Assembly and Installation (for T.C. Load
Cells)
For ease of installation, lubricate the long end of the Load Cell and the Mount Tube
with grease.
Install the long end of the Load Cell in the Mount Tube as shown in Figure 27. The
Load Cell should be retained in the Mount Tube using a 3/4" pin, supplied.
Route the cable through either of the 1" (25 mm) holes in the side of the Mount Base.

{Note}
Chore-Tronics Feeder Control
Refer to the decal on the Load Cell to determine proper orientation
of the Load Cell in the Mount Base.
Set the bin on the Mount Bases and secure the Top Mounts to the Load Cell using the
5/8" pins supplied.
When the bin is empty, each mount must equally share the load. Use the shims,
supplied with the bin, to evenly distribute the weight. The shims should be located
between the bin leg and the Top Mount.

Step 2: Mount Base Assembly and Installation (for C.T. Load
Cells)
1. Clean Mounts and load cells of all dirt and foreign materials.
2. With steel plate (item 11) on bin pad between load cell mount and bin pad, tighten
bolts (items 4 and 13) as required.
3. Make sure sealing ring (item 6) and pads (item 12) are not damaged. Replace as
needed.
4. Check to see that all load cell cables are tied to frame as they are routed to
junction box. Also check for cuts and cracks in the cables.
5. Check for vertical alignment. All load cells (item 5) should maintain vertical
alignment during entire loading and unloading process. If misaligned, realign
load cell mounts (item 2) as required.

{Note}
Installation and Operation of Scale Load Cells
Side bar (item 14) is threaded to receive bolts. It is important that
bolts (item 8) not be tightened all the way. Leave 1/8” clearance for
side bars (items 7 and 14) to move freely. Install lock washer and nut
on bolt (item 8).
6.For proper checking of side loads each mount must be installed rotated relative to
the others. i.e.; side bars (items 7 and 14) must point in different directions.
Do not weld near load cells or cables.
7.Remove load cells or cables from area to be welded. Always disconnect indicator
from junction box when welding on frame or bin. When welding on frame, place
ground on frame as close as possible to area to be welded. When welding on bin,
place ground on bin, if welding current is allowed to pass through load cells, it will
damage them.

Step 3: SJB Location & Installation
The SJB is water resistant, but not water proof. Mount the SJB on a bin leg, nearby
wall or other structure, using hardware supplied. See Figure 29.
The SJB must be mounted close enough to the Mount Bases so that each individual
cable will reach the SJB.
Ground the SJB and Power Supply to a nearby ground rod. Connect the ground cable
to the round position of Power Supply and SJB.

Step 4: Properly Coiling the Cables
The excess SJB and Load Cell Cables must be non-inductively coiled as shown,
below. Note that when coiled in this manner, there will be an equal number of right
hand and left hand coils. See Figure 30.
* {Note}
DO NOT CUT THE CABLES.
Use wire ties to secure the excess cable coils to the bin structure, as shown.

Step 5: Grounding the System
Ground Rod Specifications:
The ground rod must be 8' or 2.4 meters long (minimum) and must be free of nonconductive coatings, such as paint or enamel. The ground rod must be made from
either: 1) 3/4" (19 mm) diameter or larger galvanized pipe, or 2) 1/2" (13 mm)
diameter or larger copper-clad or solid copper rod.
66
MT1559A
3/25/99
10/6/99
Chore-Tronics Feeder Control
Installation and Operation of Scale Load Cells
Ground Cable Specifications:
The ground cable must be at least 6 gauge, solid or stranded copper wire. The wire
may be insulated, covered or bare, and should be one continuous length with no
splices or joints.
The SJB and feed/storage bin must all be grounded to provide lightning protection.
Proper grounding is absolutely required to insure warranty coverage.
Chore-Time recommendations for the number and locations of ground rods required
are shown in Figures 31-33.
• Standard 4-legged bin requires (2) ground rods. Two legs should be grounded to
each ground rod. See Figure 31.
• Two (4)-legged bins, with separate scales systems, requires (4) ground rods. Two
legs should be attached to each ground rod. See Figure 32.
• Single or multiple bins set on scale platform require (2) ground rods. The ground
rods should be located at opposite ends of the pad. Only the platform needs to be
attached to the ground rod. See Figure 33.
The ground rod must be installed so that 8' (2.4 m) of its length is in contact with the
soil.
The ground rod should be driven as near as possible to vertical and flush with the
ground.
The ground rod should be embedded below permanent moisture level in the soil. If
the ground rod cannot be driven further than 5' (1.5 m), contact Chore-Time for
additional grounding instructions.
The ground rod should be installed as close as possible to the equipment to be
protected.
Multiple ground rods should be located at least 6' (1.8 m) apart.
The ground wire should be kept as short as possible, preferably under 5' (1.5 m).
Smooth, gradual bends should be used when routing the cable; avoid sharp corners.
Make sure the cable is not restricting the accuracy of the bin in any way.
Connect the ground wire to the rod, and to the metal structure, with cast bronze or
brass clamps.

Inspect Junction Box Wiring
1. Connect the Junction Box to the Indicator.
2. Open the Junction Box Cover and check wiring for the following:
a.
Wires connected to the proper connection point by color code.
b.
Terminal blocks are clamped onto metal lead not insulation.
c.
Connections are tight.
3. Check for water or condensation in the Junction Box. If moisture is present, dry
the entire box and printed circuit board thoroughly with a hair dryer. Note: If
properly wired, there are no hazardous voltages are present in the Junction Box.
Test the Junction Box
Inspect the Junction Box, as specified above, before testing the Junction Box.
Test the Indicator and Junction Box using a simulator.
a.
Disconnect all Load Cell wires from Junction Box.
b.
If the failure mode does not change and the Indicator checked out “O.K’
earlier, the Junction Box is probably defective.
c.
If the display stops flashing and stabilizes at a weight, the Junction Box is
“O.K.”
Test the Load Cells
When you are confident the Junction Box and Indicator are working properly,
test the Load Cells.
1. Disconnect all Load Cells from the Junction Box.
2. Disconnect the Junction Box from the Indicator.
3. Balance the Indicator.
4. Reconnect the Junction Box. The Indicator should still read close to zero. It
should be a steady reading.
5. Connect one Load Cell at a time to any Junction Box Terminal. Be sure the
connections are tight and connected to the proper location by color code.
6. Observe a positive weight change after each Load Cell is connected. Record the
reading of each Load Cell.

2. Remove cotter key (item 5) from stabilizer safety pins (item 6) and
remove stabilizer pins.
3. Using a hydraulic jack, lift the corner of the bin high enough to remove
load cell (item 1).
4. Check sealing ring (item 2) and pads (item 7) to see that they are in good
repair. Replace if necessary.
5. Lower corner of bin and reassemble mount.
* {Note}
Side bar (item 8) is threaded to receive bolts (item 4). It is important
that bolts (item 4) not be tightened all the way. Leave 1/8” clearance
for side bars (items 3 and 8) to move freely.
6. Route cell cable to junction box and connect leads.
