INTRODUCTION
The Automac Bin Slide is a logic or switch-driven bin opening and shuto actuang device
that allows a user to locally or remotely open and close feed hopper bins. Slides can be
opened from inside a barn, eliminang the need for an unnecessary shower-in/shower-out
event. When used in conjuncon with smart, programmable controls like Chore-Time’s
PigCentral Control, these bin slides also have the capability to respond to feedback from bin
scales and other sensors, be put on automac mers, or any number of funcons the end user
sees t. It requires no addional support hardware and mounts directly to exisng transfer
plates. These bin slides can be used on single boots as well as twin boots in any conguraon
as long as clearance allows.
This bin slide actuator has been created with durability, longevity, and dependability in mind.
However, if you encounter any problems with the product, please contact PigTek Americas in
Milford, IN.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL:
• Make sure you bin and boot systems allow for enough clearance to install the Automac
Bin Slide when fully opened. Some consideraons to make when placing a bin slide:
 PigTek recommends that each boot have at least 3 . of clearance on either the inlet
or outlet end, and at least 20 in of side-to-side clearance to allow the bin slides to work
properly. Twin automac bin slide systems will need slightly more side-to-side clear-
ance than single slides to accommodate both motors and their enclosures.
 Twin upper boot conguraons may create interference between mulple bin slides
and will need to be oset from each other as in gure 3. Take note that if using twin
bin slides on a twin upper boot, you will not be able to manually operate all slides since
one or more of the sha yokes will not be facing away from the bin and will be blocked
on the other side by another bin slide.
 30 degree upper boots may cause interference with the ground if they are not elevat-
ed high enough o the ground (if they are to be mounted from the anchor bearing
end). This can be avoided by mounng them on the outlet end as long as the auger
tube does not interfere.
• Automac bin slides may be mounted at either the inlet end or outlet end of your boots as
long as there is enough clearance. However, make sure your transfer plates are oriented
correctly when doing so.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Ensure any aected hopper bins are empty before
aempng installaon.
The Automac Bin Slide assembly is installed by using the exisng bolts that fasten the exisng
lower boot to the transfer plate assembly, as shown on the next page.
1. Unbolt and drop the lower boot assembly from the transfer plate. Make sure to properly
support the lower boot assembly while it is dislodged from the transfer plate to avoid
cracking the PVC and damaging your system.
2. Work the exisng shuto slide(s) back and forth inside the transfer plate to ensure the
slide tracks move smoothly and are free of debris. Remove the slide(s) when all the debris
has been removed.
3. The Automac Bin Slides come with oponal sha yokes that can be bolted onto the bin
slide shas opposite the motor housings. The yoke allows manual operaon of the bin
slide while the motor’s switches are in the neutral posion with a Shepherd’s hook. Before
installing, make sure the slide on the automac bin slide is set to the fully open posion
(Note: DO NOT aempt to manually operate the Automac Bin Slide if the motor is fully
wired and not in the neutral or “Hold” posion. The motor will not allow free rotaon
while electrically engaged, and trying to manually operate the bin slide in this state can
potenally damage the motor and void the warranty).

4. Align the Automac Bin Slide’s mounng rails over the transfer plate, making sure the
slide(s) are properly engaging the tracks inside the transfer plate. Use the lower boot
hardware to fasten the Bin Slide’s rails to the transfer plate (hardware may need to be re-
placed if it is in poor condion).
5. Once fastened, check once more that the slide is moving smoothly from the bin slide’s
rails to the transfer plate’s rails by manually rotang the sha.
6. Wire up the motor(s) to control using the circular connectors provided. Operate unit open
and closed to make sure adequate limits are reached.
7. (Oponal) if leaks occur between upper boot/transfer plate, check for full engagement of
fasteners. Otherwise, apply caulking or similar patching compound in between joints.

ATTACHING CIRCULAR CONNECTOR TO 4-STRAND CABLE
Circular connectors come with 4 pins numbered from 1 to 4. Using PigTek’s standard 4-strand
cable, ST99422, the connector’s should be installed as follows:
PIN 1 →BLACK
PIN 2 →
PIN 3 →RED
PIN 4 →GREEN
If connecng to the Chore-Time PigCentral control, only one end of the cable should be ed
with a circular connector. The other end should be stranded and stripped on each end as it
will be aached to the control. If being aached to the standalone control, both ends must be
ed with circular connectors.
CHORE-TIME CONTROL CONNECTION
The following instrucons apply for use on
the PigCentral® control ONLY:
Aer running the cable from the bin slide
motor to the locaon of the control, con-
nect the cable to a bin side card inside the
control. The bin slide can be connected to
either channel A or B.
A 24 volt supply will also need to be con-
nected to the bin slide card. PigTek oers
this item as PT4015.
WIRING
Included with the Automac Bin Slide is an female M8 circular connector, ST78004, or two
with a twin slide. These circular connectors must be aached to a shielded and UV-resistant 4
strand cable, such as PigTek’s ST99422. Instrucons for wiring are described below:

STANDALONE CONTROL CONNECTION
If connecng a bin slide to a standalone control, simply connect the circular connector from
the bin slide motor to a circular connector on the boom of the box. The number of bin slides
usable per box will depend on the model ordered.
The standalone control will also need a power in from a power supply also using an M8 female
connector.
