CHARGING THE BATTERY
To ensure optimum performance of the TWR-5, the internal battery may need to
be charged for up to 16 hours before first time use.
Important: If the TWR-5 is to be stored for an extended period, this should be
in a cool dry place with a fully charged battery.

Connect the power adapter at the base of the unit and plug the TWR-5 into a
power outlet and switch ON.
The charging icon will display on the screen.
2.
When the charge shows 100% the TWR-5 is ready to use with or without the
power adapter.
Note:
• When the TWR-5 is in use, the battery icon
will display and show remaining charge.
• When using the scale and the charge
level falls below 10% the battery icon
will flash with a red outline. You will have
about 30 minutes to complete the weighing
session before the TWR-5 must be charged.
• When the charge level becomes critical the unit will shut down.
•

INSTALLATION
English
Installing the TWR-5
The TWR-5 can be placed on a table top or mounted
on the bracket supplied.
Installing the Scale bracket
The bracket can be mounted on a flat vertical surface, a round post, or a rail.
To mount the bracket on a flat vertical surface, or a round wooden post, use
the 4 x tek screws included with the unit.
To mount the bracket on either a vertical or horizontal bar, use the ‘U’ bolts
included with the unit.
Important:
It is not recommended to mount the TWR-5 bracket on the weighing crate or
chute as interaction with the scale can impair weighing performance.
Gallagher TWR-5 Weigh Scale Quick Start Guide
If using loadbars, follow these steps:
1. Select a weighing site that provides a solid, level and well drained surface.
2. Ensure the loadbars and platform are well secured and clear of any
obstructions.
3. Either bolt the loadbars to the concrete pad or locate them on studs set into
the concrete. It is important that the loadbars and platform sit flat without
any rocking or twisting to avoid weighing inaccuracies.
Note: It may be necessary to shim the loadbars or platform to ensure there
are no twisting pressures within the platform. Weights should be evenly
distributed over the top of the weigh bars.
4. Connect the loadbar cables to the base of the TWR-5.
A beep will sound indicating a successful connection/ disconnection of the
loadbars.
English
Installing the loadbars
WARNING – Do not weld the loadbars or any structure that they are
attached to. Loadbars contain sensitive electronic devices which will be
damaged by welding. Damage caused by welding will void warranty.
Position the TWR-5:
•
•
•
clear of the platform to ensure it does not interfere with the flow of
animals during the weighing cycle
within easy reach of the loadbar leads
within easy reach of the operator (for manual weighing)
Gallagher TWR-5 Weigh Scale Quick Start Guide
Installing the Antenna Panel
The TWR-5 has an internal reader, that when connected to a Gallagher Antenna
panel will capture the Electronic ID tag data.
English
To weigh animals in a crush, you will need:
• Gallagher Antenna Panel kit
• 4m Antenna Extension Cable G05600 or
6m Antenna Extension Cable G05602
Note: A short adapter cable G05601 may be required on early versions of the
Sheep Auto Drafter made prior to 2018.
To mount your Antenna panel, refer to the instructions included with the panel.
Important: Use the defined mounting holes, because drilling through the
Antenna Panel will damage the antenna.
Attaching the TWR-5 to the Antenna Panel
1.
2.
Ensure the TWR-5 is turned OFF.
On the Antenna Panel, unscrew the Amphenol connector locking nut from the
Amphenol socket and pull it down to unplug from the Antenna Panel.
