Chore-Tronics Feeder Control Safety Instructions and Warnings

MT1559A 10/6/99

• 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.

• Do not use running water or high pressure washers on or around your control.

Notice to Electrician Chore-Tronics Feeder Control

8MT1559A 10/6/99

Each relay output in this Chore-TronicsTM 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.

Notice to Electrician

Chore-Tronics Feeder Control Initial Setup

MT1559A 10/6/99

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

numbers be associated with names.

2. Answer all questions and adjust all settings in Screen #14. In this screen the relay

numbers are associated with the output names in the drawing on page 32. This

must be done first in that the other screen’s contents are affected by the answers

and settings of Screen #14.

3. Answer all questions, and adjust settings in Screens # 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11,

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.

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.

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.

Manual Start/Hold switches

These spring loaded switches allow you to start the operation assigned to them prior

to the times set in above screens. They can only be used in the proper sequence.

Presets / Inventories

• This screen has two options and are briefly discussed below. The proper option will

be selected in the Setup screen Button 14.

1. If your weigh system uses a separate bin from the supply bin to weigh the feed

for feeding.

2. If your supply bin is equipped with load cells to perform the weighing and

feeding function.

If you are using Option 2 above, it is recommended that you use the

SJB1, which has a built-in interrupt switch. This will stop the feeder

fill system if feed is being delivered. To restart the fill system, the

button is pressed again at the end of the delivery. If the feeder fill

system is not restarted within 60 minutes by pressing the button, it

will restart automatically.

Option 1: Separate Weigh Bin

1. These represent the two separate weighing systems this control can handle.

2. Supply Bin - this is the current inventory of the supply bin which is a calculation

only derived by adding delivery amounts and subtracting amounts that are

transferred to the weigh bin (non-editable).

3. Weigh Bin - This is the current quantity of feed in the weigh bin. This is a true

measurement produced by the load cells (non-editable).

4. Preset - this is the amount you want to feed at the next feeding time. This

quantity is manually entered. If this is not changed, the control will continue to

use the existing value.

5. Feed Delivered - this is where you manually enter the amount of feed delivered

which is taken from a delivery ticket, weigh ticked, etc. This figure added to the

above supply bin inventory (#2), gives you the current inventory weight.

6. Agreed - after entering the feed delivered you confirm this number by pressing

the “+” button. This will temporarily place a “YES” in this column.

7. Last Delivery - this indicates the amount of the last delivery (non-editable)

Alarms

The Alarms screen is designed as an aid to inform you that conditions are not correct,

or presets have not been met. When conditions reach an alarm level, the light next to

BUTTON 8 will begin to flash, and you will get a message in screen 1 to “Check

Alarms”. A relay will activate a siren or dialer or any other external device you have

selected for your operation. When this occurs, Press BUTTON 8 which will open the

screen and inform you of the alarm condition. At the same time it will deactivate the

relay. The light will continue to flash and “Check Alarms” will continue to show in

screen 1 until the conditions have recovered.

1. Alarm System Status

• Enabled (or on)

• Disabled (or off)

• Test (which will sound your audible system and activate the visual indicators)

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.

If the alarm message is a group of number’s, the problem deals with

the internal workings of the control and does not reflect problems

within your house. If an alarm code appears in this space, notify

your local distributor and advise him of the code.

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.

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”.

Setup - continued

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.

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.

Parts Listing

3/25/99

Chore-Tronics Feeder Control Installation and Operation of Scale Load Cells

MT1559A 10/6/99

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)

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.)

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)

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.

For bins with six legs, use of Beam Assemblies is recommended to

a Maximum of 24 tons (21772.8 kg).

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.

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

your building contractor/engineer.

MT1559A 10/6/99

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 non-

conductive 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.

3/25/99

Chore-Tronics Feeder Control Installation and Operation of Scale Load Cells

MT1559A 10/6/99

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.
