CHARGING THE BATTERY

To ensure opmum performance of the TWR-, the internal baery may need to be

charged for up to 16 hours before ﬁrst me use.

Important: If the TWR-is to be stored for an extended period, this should be in a

cool dry place with a fully charged baery. Always charge the baery indoors.

1. Connect the power adapter at the base of the unit and plug the TWR-into a power

outlet and switch ON. The charging icon will display on the screen.

Warning: The power adaptor is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose to

rain or dampness.

2. When the charge shows 100% the TWR-is ready to use with or without the power

adapter.

Note:

• When the TWR-is in use, the baery icon will

display and show remaining charge.

• When using the scale and the charge level falls below

10% the baery icon will ﬂash with a red outline. You will have about 30 minutes to

complete the weighing session before the TWR-must be charged.

• When the charge level becomes crical the unit will shut down.

• To check remaining run me at current sengs, from the Home screen, go to

Sengs > About > Baery.

INSTALLATION

Installing the TWR-

The TWR-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 vercal surface, a round post, or a rail.

To mount the bracket on a ﬂat vercal surface, or a round wooden post, use

the 4 x tek screws included with the unit.

To mount the bracket on either a vercal or horizontal bar, use the ‘U’ bolts

included with the unit.

Important:

It is not recommended to mount the TWR-bracket on the weighing crate or

chute as interacon with the scale can impair weighing performance.

English

Installing the loadbars

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 plaorm are well secured and clear of any

obstrucons.

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 plaorm sit ﬂat without

any rocking or twisng to avoid weighing inaccuracies.

Note: It may be necessary to shim the loadbars or plaorm to ensure there

are no twisng pressures within the plaorm. Weights should be evenly

distributed over the top of the weigh bars.

4. Connect the loadbar cables to the base of the TWR-.

A beep will sound indicang a successful connecon/disconnecon of the

loadbars.

WARNING – Do not weld the loadbars or any structure that they are

aached to. Loadbars contain sensive electronic devices which will be

damaged by welding. Damage caused by welding will void warranty.

Position the TWR-:

• clear of the plaorm 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)

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.

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 Draer made prior to 2018.

To mount your Antenna panel, refer to the instrucons included with the panel.

Important: Use the deﬁned mounng holes, because drilling through the

Antenna Panel will damage the antenna.

Attaching the TWR-5 to the Antenna Panel

1. Ensure the TWR-5 is turned OFF.

2. On the Antenna Panel, unscrew the Amphenol connector locking nut from the

Amphenol socket and pull it down to unplug from the Antenna Panel.

START A SESSION

When you gather informaon about an animal, it is recorded in a Session.

Each event such as weighing, adds a record to the current session.

A template using pre-determined defaults can be set up and used each me you

start a new session.

Note: It is recommended a new session is opened for a new day’s acvity or for

a new group of animals. An animal cannot appear within the same session more

than once.

To start a new weighing session:

1. From the Home screen, tap New . The New Session screen is

displayed.

2. Tap

Quick Start to open the Weigh screen with the scale default sengs.

Note: To set up and use templates, refer to the TWR-5 On-board Help.

Note: Before weighing, 0.0 should be displayed. If not, press .

3. Load the animal onto the plaorm.

4. If using the internal reader, the animal’s Electronic ID will be scanned, or you

can scan with a hand-held reader and record the animal’s Visual Tag Number.

Note: The internal reader will only read a tag when loadbars are connected

and weight is detected on the weighing plaorm.

5. If weighing in AUTO - Automac weight lock, the scale will lock on to the

weight and hold it on the screen unl the animal leaves the plaorm.

If weighing in MAN - Manual weight lock, you must ﬁrst press Weigh .

When the weight becomes stable, it will lock.

6. Move the animal oﬀthe plaorm.

Important: If the weight displayed does not always return to 0.0 aer weighing,

check for dirt or manure that may have been leon the plaorm.

The TWR-can be re-zeroed by pressing .

To customize the session:

click on the OPTIONS

buon at the lower leof

the screen. Here you can

set up the weighing mode,

the draing decision.

• By default the scale will automacally zero any debris leon the plaorm

between 2-5kg depending on the capacity of your loadbars. This can be

altered in the connected loadbar sengs.

• If using traits within a session, the selected traits will appear down the right

side of the screen. A maximum of 9 traits can be used in any one session.

Once an animal is idenﬁed, simply tap the trait box to assign a value.

Reading tags with the Internal Reader

When the internal reader is connected it will display as in the screen footer.

• If no loadbars are detected, the internal reader will always be acve, ready to

read a tag and will display as .

• If loadbars are connected, the footer will display unl a weight is detected

on the plaorm.

The symbol will then change to , as it reads the tag. The internal reader

will go in and out of acve mode as it detects weight on the weighing

plaorm.
