Override Box Overview
MT2309B 3
The Chore-Tronics 2 Breeder Override Box is used to connect the Chore-Tronics 2 Breeder Edition Control
to a Weighmatic®scale system. During normal operation, the Breeder Override Box provides feedback to the
Chore-Tronics Control to inform the Control the current status of the Weighmatic®scale system. The Breeder
Override Box can also temporarily operate both the Weighmatic®scale system and feeding system if
necessary. If itisdesiredto connecttwo Weighmatic®scale systems to the Chore-Tronics®2 then two Breeder
Override boxes will be required.
The Breeder Override Box front panel consists of three toggles switches: One for the lower switch and
push button of the scale, one for the upper switch of the scale and one for manually running the feed
lines.
Normal Operation
Under normal operating conditions, all toggle switches should be in the automatic position. This will allow
the Chore-Tronics 2 Breeder Edition control to operate the Weigh Fill, Feeder Fill, and Feed Line outputs.
Please refer to the Chore-Tronics 2 Breeder Control manual for normal operation details.
