4. Introduction
The Feed Manager is the latest technology in the Hired-Hand controller family. This technology adds the
stand-alone controller capability for monitoring feed levels in bins and run times of feed augers. One Feed
Manager controller can monitor up to four feed bins and two feed augers from two buildings. Beyond
monitoring, it also adds alarm features to help detect feed spills or prevent running out of feed. The ultrasonic
Feed Level Sensors (sold separately) are connected to the Feed Manager to monitor the feed inventory in the
feed bins. The Feed Manager can be connected to a Sens-O-Matic III or Current Sensor (sold separately) to
monitor runtimes of Feed Augers.
4.1 Features
•Input Device Options
Up To 4 Feed Bin Level Sensors (Required) 2 Feed Auger Runtime Sensors (Optional)
HHNet connection for PC compatibility
•Output Devices (Standard)
1 Alarm relay with both N.O. and N.C. contacts
4.2 System Limitations
The Feed Level System is intended to provide a low-cost alternative to load-cell systems for monitoring feed
inventory. It is not an accurate way to track feed consumption or to accomplish restrictive feeding.
This system will provide an estimated feed weight although it is simply estimated. There are many factors
which will cause day to day errors in this estimate. These factors include coning and inaccurate feed density. It
is important to understand that errors in level will occur from time to time due to coning. These errors should
be limited to damp starter feed, therefore, the system should provide accurate readings in almost all cases.
Important Note:
In order to maintain consistent feed levels, the Feed Manager uses a “Rate Filter”. This filter only allows
small changes in the “Feed Level” per second. This technique will slow the reaction time. Therefore, once
installed, allow approximately 20 minutes for the reading to stabilize.
5. Feed Manager Front Panel
The Feed Manager front panel includes four columns of feed level LED indicators with individually selectable
push-button switches directly beneath each column. To the left and right sides of the front panel are the Auger
Fill Indicators. Mode indicators, mode button, and option selection buttons are located to the lower right side
of the front panel.

5.2 Feed Bin #1, #2, #3, and #4 Buttons and Indicators
Feed Level Indicators – The Feed Manager includes four columns of feed level LED indicators. As the feed
level inside the feed bin decreases, the Feed Level Indicators also decrease and change color
accordingly. As the feed continues to decrease and the third LED from the bottom turns Off, the two
remaining LED’s will change colors. First, both will be orange; then one orange and one red; two
red; one red; and finally all LED’s will be OFF.
Feed Bin Selection Buttons – Individually selectable push-button switches are located directly beneath each
column of Feed Level Indicators. Pressing a specific switch will allow direct access to the specific
feed bin’s Feed Level, Feed Capacity, and Bin Status. Pressing the Mode switch repeatedly allows
sequential access to each feed bin.
Auger Fill Indicator – To the left and right sides of the front panel are the Auger Fill Indicators. When this
option is used and the Feed Manager is connected to a Current Sensor, the Fill Indicator will turn ON
when the Auger motor is running and OFF indicates the motor is not running.

5.3 Alarm Indications
Normal Operation – During normal operation with no alarms present and no specific feed bin or specific
operation selected, the following indications will be shown:
•The Main Display will continuously show the active feed bin numbers.
•The Feed Level Indicators for the active bins will be displaying the feed levels.
•The Auger Fill Indicators will either be solid-ON when the auger motor is running or solid-
OFF when the auger motor is not running.
Minimum Feed Capacity Alarm –The
Min. Feed Capacity feature
monitors the amount feed in the
feed bin and will activate the
Auxiliary Alarm output if the feed
decreases below the selected
amount of minimum feed. Refer to
Section 7.4 for control/editing the
Min. Feed Capacity settings.
When the feed level decreases
below the Min. Feed Capacity (%)
percentage, the specific Feed Bin
Level Indicators will immediately
start flashing.
NOTE:The feed level must continuously remain below the Min. Feed Capacity (%) percentage for
a minimum of 4 minutes for the Auxiliary Alarm to activate.
After 4 minutes, the Auxiliary Alarm contacts will activate, the Main Display will alternate between
showing the active Feed Bins and “Err” (“Err” represents that an Error/Alarm condition exists), and
the specific Feed Bin Level Indicators will continue to repeatedly flash ON and OFF. When the feed
level rises above the Minimum Feed Capacity (%), the Auxiliary Alarm, Feed Bin Level Indicators,
and display immediately return to normal operation.
Maximum Fill Time Alarm – The Max. Fill Time feature monitors the amount of time which the feed augers
remain ON and will activate the Auxiliary Alarm output if the feed auger remains ON longer than the
selected Max. Fill Time limit. Refer to Section 7.5 for control/editing the Max. Fill Time settings.
When the feed auger initially turns ON, the Fill Indicator will also turn ON. If either of the feed
augers remain ON longer than the selected Max. Fill Time (minutes), the Auxiliary Alarm contacts
will activate. When the Auxiliary Alarm is activated, the specific Auger Fill Indicator will
repeatedly flash ON and OFF. The Main Display will also alternate between the active feed bins and
Mode Indicators

“Err” representing that an Error/Alarm condition exists. As soon as the alarm condition clears, the
Auger Fill Indicator and Main Display return to normal operation.
NOTE: A Current Sensor (6407-6070 ordered separately) or Sens-O-Matic III feed controller (6606-
2000 for a 120vac model or 6606-2100 for a 230vac model ordered separately) is required for
this function.
6. Programming the Feed Manager
This section introduces the Feed Manager programming software. The Feed Manager controller software
allows the use of four ultrasonic feed level sensors (sold separately) while also monitoring two feed augers.
The feed level sensors are used to monitor the feed inventory in the feed bins. The feed auger connections are
used primarily to monitor the runtime of the cross-fill auger motors. The feed augers can only be monitored
when used with a Current Sensor or Sens-O-Matic III feed switch (sold separately). The following figure
shows the Feed Manager programming options which must be carefully selected to allow accurate monitoring
of the Feed Level. By pressing and holding the Mode button for at least 5 seconds, the Feed Manager can be
placed in the Program Mode as discussed below and on the following pages.
In addition to the feed level capabilities, the optional use of a Current Sensor or Sens-O-Matic III adds a new
alarm feature. The alarm allows you to place a runtime limit on each auger motor to help the user detect feed
spills or protect against running out of feed. If the runtime limit is exceeded, the auxiliary alarm will be
triggered.
