1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRECAUTIONS, CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Read and save
these instructions!
Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer. Carefully read and keep the following instructions for future
reference.
• Although fuses at the input and outputs of the controller protect its circuits
in case of an overload or overvoltage, we recommend installing an addi-
tional protection device on the controller's supply circuit.
• The room temperature where the controller is located must always remain
between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). For Indoor use only !
• To avoid exposing the controller to harmful gases or excessive humidity, it
is preferable to install it in a corridor.
•Do not spray water on the controller! In order to clean the control, wipe it
with a damp cloth.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and
lock the switch disconnecting means to prevent power from being
switched accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot
be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
• The controller should be opened and inspected once a year for moisture.
Proper care will extend the life of the control.
IMPORTANT:
Use Grounded Metallic Conduits Only!
The conduit that brings feed into the scale must absolutely be
made of metal and must be grounded in order to prevent static
electricity. A high static electrical charge may cause malfunc-
tion to the controller.

TRANSFER ERROR
The controller will not warn you if the transfer is incorrect.
Respect the following rules to make sure the transfer works properly:
• Make sure the card switch is at the unlocked position before
transferring a configuration on the card.
• Do not move or hold the card while a transfer is ongoing.

58 TARGET FEED MASTER rev.09
10. MEMORY CARD
The memory card is used to create a backup copy of your controller's
configuration. The card is also useful to transfer the configuration of one
controller to another controller of the same type.
The switch at the bottom of the card is used to lock or to unlock the card
(= locked, = unlocked).
Turn off power each time you open the controller's
enclosure. This prevents accidental exposure to areas
of high voltage.
TO TRANSFER A CONFIGURATION:
1. Turn off power to the controller.
2. Open the latch and lift the
controller's cover.
3. If you are about to copy the
controller's configuration on the
memory card, make sure the
card's switch is at the unlocked
position.
4. Insert the card in the J9 connec-
tor located on the electronic board
inside the controller. Components
of the memory card must face
down as illustrated.
5. Close the cover then reapply power to the controller. The transfer
menu should be shown on screen (if this is not the case, simultaneously
press the up- and down-arrow keys for 3 seconds to display this menu).

3.1 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the four screws in the front cover and lift the cover. Remove the
black caps located on the three mounting holes. Mount the enclosure to
the wall using three screws. Be sure the electrical knockouts are at the
bottom of the enclosure in order to prevent water from entering the
controller. Insert the screws into the mounting holes and tighten. Fasten
the black caps onto the mounting holes.
3.2 CONNECTIONS
To connect the controller, refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
user's manual. Use the electrical knockouts provided at the bottom of the
enclosure. Do not make additional holes in the enclosure, particularly on
the side of the enclosure when using a computer communications module.
All wiring must be done by an authorized electrician and
must comply with applicable codes, laws and regula-
tions. Be sure power is off before doing any wiring to
avoid electrical shocks and equipment damage.
Do not install rigid conduit into electrical knockouts.
Only nylon cable glands are permitted for cable or wire
fastening.
The controller has no power-on switch. An external
switch or circuit breaker shall be included in the
building installation to interrupt power to L and N
electric power lines. It shall be in close proximity to the
equipment and within easy reach of the operator. It
shall be marked as the disconnecting device for the
equipment.

4. CONTROLLER'S OPERATION
4.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROLLER
The
TARGET FEED MASTER
controller is an electronic device which takes
in charge the whole process of food distribution for broilers in 2 separate
houses. The controller ensures a continuous feed distribution and allows to
monitor the exact quantity of feed consumed by the birds. The user can
also monitor the amount of feed remaining in each bin.
4.2 HOW TO USE THE FEED SCALE CONTROLLER
The
TARGET FEED MASTER
controller has been designed with the user in
mind. Thus, great care has been put into making the user interface as
easy to understand as possible. The following paragraphs explain the way
the parameters are organized and how to adjust them.
There are 2 types of values which may be seen on the display (Fig.1, Item
B): Readings and Parameters.
A Reading is a value which may not be changed by the user.
A Parameter is a value which may be changed by the user.
When a value on the display flashes, this means that it is a
parameter which may be adjusted by the user.
If the value does not flash, it is a reading, or a parameter which
is locked.
4.3 CHANGING PARAMETER VALUES
To change the value of a parameter, simply use the adjustment buttons
(Fig.1, Item D). Use the + / - buttons to increase or to decrease the value
of a parameter.

5. USING THE CONTROLLER
5.1 FIRST INSTALLATION
These are the basic steps to start up your controller. References to certain
sections of the manual are mentioned to step directly to the parameters'
adjustment chapters.
1- Connect the PSFS-1 module according to the wiring diagram enclosed
with the manual :
a) Connect the PSFS-1 to the weighing hopper’s actuator.
b) Short-circuit the 2 DIR terminals of the PSFS-1.
c) Plug the wall transformer in a 115VAC source.
The scale valve should now open. If it does not open, refer to the
troubleshooting guide at the end of the manual.
2- Connect the controller, the LCT and the TRB modules as shown in the
wiring diagram:
a) Set the ID numbers of each module (s. 5.8.4.1).
b) Remove or lift the cover from the LCT and from TRB modules.
c) Power up the modules.
d) Make sure all loads connected to the TRB modules
operate correctly : activate each relay manually by using the
switches.
The controller should now be working properly. The red lights located
inside the LCT and in TRB module with the ID#3 should be flashing
regularly. If the controller does now work or if the lights do not flash,
refer to the troubleshooting guide at the end of the manual.
3- Adjust the Date and Time (s. 5.4).
4- Enter the Installer Password (03-05-14 by default) to access the in-
stallation menu (s. 5.8.1).
5- Set the main settings of the controller in the "1.Settings" menu from
the installation menu (s. 5.8.2).

5.2 STARTING A NEW FLOCK
Starting a new flock allows clearing the previous flock's history. The fol-
lowing steps show how to post the initial age and number of birds and how
to enable the flock. Make sure the feed distribution is enabled in the se-
lected house before starting the new flock (s. 5.2.1).
1- Select the "3.Start Flock" menu of
the desired house then press the right-
arrow key. The initial age is displayed.
Use the adjustment buttons to set it
to the desired value.
2- Press the down-arrow key. The initial
number animals flashes on the display.
Use the adjustment buttons to set it
to the desired value.
3- Press the down-arrow key. The message "Start Flock?" flashes on
the display.
4- Press + to start the new flock. The posted answer "Yes" is displayed
for a 20 second delay then the displays returns to "No". The new flock
is now created. The previous history has been cleared.
If 2 houses are used, proceed the same way to start a new flock in the
other house.
All histories are cleared when a new flock starts, except for
the alarm log and bin histories.
It is recommended to check the scale's accuracy between
each flock.

Backup bins:
When a bin is empty, it may be replaced by a backup bin. The selected
backup bin keeps being used up until it is empty – even if the original bin is
being refilled. When the backup bin is empty, it switches to its own backup
bin; in other words, the system does not necessarily returns to the original
bin when a backup bin becomes empty, it switches to the backup bin's
backup bin. This allows a constant feed circulation in each bin.
Since the transition between backup bins is done in a circular matter, it is
highly recommended to create a loop between all bins. This avoids generat-
ing run time alarms when a bin is empty and has no backup bin. The follow-
ing graphic illustrates the situation:

This is the maximum allowable time to fill the feed scale hopper. An
alarm is set off whenever the filling time exceeds this delay. This type
of alarm usually occurs when a bin is empty. The maximum fill time
can be adjusted from 0 to 30 minutes.
Re-order point:
This is the bins' minimum allowable amount of feed. An alarm is set off
whenever the quantity of feed into a bin decreases below the re-order
point. The Re-order point can be adjusted from 1kg (or 1lbs) to 2000
tons. The system continues running even though the re-order point
alarm is active. Use the adjustment buttons to set the re-order point to
the desired value.
Alarm if empty:
Set to yes if you want an alarm to be set off when the bin is empty.
When this type of alarm is set off, the system stops operating except
if a backup bin is selected (see below).
