GT 460 Features & Opt ions
Thank you for the purchase of a GT460 indicator. With optional
equipment, it is the simplest most flexible system on the market today.
With proper operation and preventative maintenance it will last for years.
The Digi-Star GT460 is designed for use weighing, tracking, storing, and
transferring related data regarding the weight of agricultural grai ns,
forages, and other commodities on mobile weigh wagons, grain carts,
forage boxes, and other agricultural conveyances.
The data collected by, and transferred from, the GT460 is designed
primarily for use with Digi-Star's Grain TrackerTM and Forage TrackerTM
software. For maximum value from the GT460 indicator, Digi-Star
recommends that Grain TrackerTM / Forage TrackerTM software program be
loaded on a PC. This program will allow the full initialization and
personalization of the indicator to the operation. The manual for this
software program is found within the program under the help tab.
The GT460 is not for use with applications for which the GT460 is not
intended, or as outlined in this manual.
Use of the GT460 outside of its intended purposes m ay result in inaccurate
weight measurement or damage to instrument.

GT 460 FEATURES & OPTIONS
Hands Off (AutoLog2) Operation
The GT 460 indicator has many features but it also boasts simple handsoff operation using a RPM sensor on the PTO shaft to trigger the start of
the unloading process and the end of the unloading process. AutoLog2
aids in preventing operator mistakes and loss of load data due to the
operator forgetting to push the key. Manual control using the key
is possible should the sensor be damaged or not functioning by disabling
AutoLog2. See page 18 for instruct ions. Weight, date, time and additional
information is stored automatically after each load is completed.
AutoLog2
AutoLog2 is an optional function which allows the operator to set weight
targets when unloading. The indicator will sound an alarm and/or activate a
control signal when the preset unload weight is met.
There are 3 methods available to control the targeted unloaded weight.
1. Weight set per Truck ID - Each truck with a stored ID can have a
preset weight. Useful when working with trucks of various
capacities.
2. Stored Target Weight - When the same amount is unloaded each
time. The stored weight repeats until changed. Useful when all
trucks have the same capacity.
3. Load by Load - With each unloading event the GT460/465 will
prompt the operator to enter the required weight to unload. Useful
when flexibility is required.
USB Port
USB drive has capacity to hold thousands of data records and allows easy
data transfer.
Grain TrackerTM or Forage TrackerTM
Grain TrackerTM or Forage TrackerTM software provided with GT 460
indicator allows generation of a variety of reports. Reports can be read by
programs such as Microsoft ExcelTM, Adobe AcrobatTM and Microsoft
Internet ExplorerTM.

Accuracy Statement
ACCURACY STATEMENT
ACCURACY:
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE USING T HE SCALE SYSTEM
DIGI-STAR SCALE SYSTEMS ARE MANUFACTURED TO PROVIDE
THE GREATEST ACCURACY POSSIBLE. HOWEVER PROPER
DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND USE ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO
OBTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ACCURACY.
WHEN USI NG THE SCALE SYSTEM THE FOLLOWING MUST BE
CONSIDERED IN ORDER TO REALIZE THE BEST POSSIBLE
PERFORMANCE AND ACCURACY.
• LOAD CELLS MUST BE INSTALLED WI TH THE PROPER
ORIENTATION. MOST DIGI-STAR LOAD CELLS HAVE A
LABEL INDICATING EITHER THE "TOP" OR BENDING
DIRECTION OF THE LOAD CELL. INSPECT LOAD CELLS
TO DETERMINE IF INSTALLATI O N IS CORRECT.
INSTALLATION OF ANY LOAD CELLS WITH THE
ORIENTATION I NCORRECT WILL RESULT IN
INACCURATE MEASUREMENT.
• LOAD CELLS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO ANY
STRAINS OR LOADS OT HER THEN THE WEIGHT OF
THE LOAD. STRESS OR STRAIN CAUSED BY
MISALLIGNMENT OR OTHER FACTORS WHEN
ACCURATE WEIGHT READINGS ARE DESIRE D WILL
NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE ACCURACY.
• THE WEIGHING UNIT SHOULD BE STAT IONARY, WITH
MINIMUAL MOVEMENT, AND ON A LEVEL SURFACE TO
INSURE THAT WEIGHT READINGS ARE AS ACCURATE
AS POSSIBLE.
o THE AFFECT OF MOVEMENT ON ACCURACY
DEPENDS ON THE SPEED A ND ROUGHNESS OF
THE GROUND AND APPLICATION. ROUGHER
TERRAIN AND FASTER AND/OR GREATER
MOVEMENT INCREASES THE DEGRADATION OF
ACCURACY.
o A LEVEL SURFACE I S DEFINED AS BEING LESS
THAN A 5" (13cm) CHANGE IN RISE OVER 10’
(3.0m) OF RUN. AS THE SLOPE OF TH E
TERRAIN INCREASES, DEGRADATION OF
ACCURACY WILL ALSO INCREASE.

AUTOLOG
AutoLog2 functionality is designed to provide assistance controlling the
amount of grain unloaded from the grain cart or wagon. The operator can
set weight targets to unload. The GT460 indicator will sound an alarm
and/or activate a control signal to operate a switch or solenoid when the
preset unload weight is met.
There are 3 methods available to control the targeted unloaded weight.
1. Weight set per Truck ID - Each truck with a stored ID can have a
preset weight. Useful when working with trucks of various
capacities.
2. Stored Target Weight - When the same amount is unloaded each
time. The stored weight repeats until changed. Useful when all
trucks have the same capacity.
3. Load by Load - With each unloading event the GT460/465 will
prompt the operator to enter the required weight to unload. Useful
when flexibility is required.
Once set, preset control is activated by the AutoLog2 functionality or by the
START/STOP button.
In addition AutoLog2 provides additional functionality by allowing maximum
capacities of individual trucks to be stored in the GT460 Indicator as part of
the ID functionality. See page 13 for details.
See page 35 for additional details for using the Preset Active Signal
Functionality connected with setting the preset weight option below.

2. Press to change the RELAY
function.
3. Press to store.
The RELAY function defines what
function the GT460 performs when
the preset weight is activated during
the unloading process. This can be
held at 12 VDC while the preset is
active (PREACT), or activate 12
VDC once the preset weight is
reached during unloading
(PRNOPA).
1. Enter 475
2. Press
3. Enter time for PAST setting, if
needed.
4. Press to store.
The PAST setting is the time (0.0 to
99.9 seconds) for the RELAY
function to timeout. If RELAY is set
as PREACT and is held at 12 VDC
output during the entire unload
process, this setting extends the
time at which the relay remains at
12 VDC output. If RELAY is set as
PRNOPA and activates 12 VDC
output at the end of the unload
cycle, this setting determines how
long the output stays on after the
target weight is reached.

Example Application 1: Grain cart with GT460 AutoLog2 system is to
activate an external alarm light to notify truck driver that cart is unloading.
Truck is allowed to hold 40,000 pounds. Grain cart operator opens and
closes doors, and wants to make sure an additional 30 seconds are
allowed for cleanout before truck drives away.
Set 477 ALP to ON. Set 406 RELAY to PREACT. Set 475 PAST to 30.0.
Press 40000 then ENTER to store preset weight value. Connect green DC
Output wire to external alarm light +12V, black to – /Ground.
Operation: Start PTO, GT460 automatically loads 40,000 pound preset,
external alarm light flashes for truck driver. Open door to unload grain,
then close door when near 40,000 pounds. Target weight is reached; 30
second delay time begins to give cart operator time to clean out auger and
turn off PTO. After 30 seconds, external alarm light turns off, data is
logged, and truck drives away.

5. Type in TOLER value.
6. Press to store.
This is normally the weight
value of grain still unloading; set
to help prevent overfilling the
truck. If the implement unloads
by 1000 pounds too high each
time, the TOLER value should
be set to 1000.
7. Enter preset weight to be
unloaded.
8. Press
If 5000 pounds is entered, this
is the range at which the relay
functions above will activate.
Re-Calibrating The Scale
Example Application 2: Grain cart with GT460 AutoLog2 system is to
activate an alarm in tractor cab for 10 seconds to notify operator once
35,000 pounds is unloaded, so that the door can be closed. The operator
has a history of overloading the truck by 5000 pounds each time.
Set 477 ALP to ON. Set 406 RELAY to PRNOPA. Set 475 PAST to 10.0.
Set 442 to WEIGHT; TOLER to 5000. Press 35000 then ENTER to store
preset weight. Connect green DC Output wire to alarm +12VDC, black to
ground.
Operation: Start PTO, GT460 automatically loads 35,000 pound preset.
Open door to unload grain. Target weight is reached 5000 pounds early,
sounding alarm for operator to close the door. The preset is deactivated at
30,000 pounds to correct for overfill, and the data is logged when the PTO
is stopped.
RE-CALIBRATING THE SCALE
To re-calibrate the scale and make it even more accurate, document at
least 3 to 6 loads of varying sizes and measure the actual weight of all
loads on a certified scale.
• It must be assured that each truck is not losing grain in transit to a
certified scale.
• Weigh the truck immediately before unloading and immediately
after unloading to minimize errors due to changes in fuel etc.
In this example, six carts of grain are unloaded into four semi-trucks.
Example:
Cart Load A 51560
Cart Load B 33240
Cart Load C 17620
Cart Load D 50420
Cart Load E 38200
Cart Load F 12360

DAILY DATA
COLLECTION
Insuring data is secure from theft,
fire or equipment failure requires a
small effort each day to store data
on a USB drive.
Mid-Season Name
Changes
During the season, you may wish
to delete and add field names or
ID names to the scale indicator
memory. This may be done in one
of two ways.
Front Panel
For a small number of changes,
edit field names and ID names
using the keypad on the front
panel. See page 12 and 13 to edit
field names and ID names. See
page 27 to erase accumulator
memory.
Note: Before making any changes
to field entries always transfer
your existing field accumulator
data from the indicator to the USB
drive and onto your PC. This
keeps the proper accumulator
values on partially finished fields.
Upload New Field Names, ID Names and Accumulator Using USB Drive
For a large number of changes,
perform the changes on your PC
using Grain Tracker
TrackerTM software and then
transfer the new information to the
indicator using a USB drive.

the 12VDC output is only activated by the preset being
reached.
preset weight is reached and the output deactivates when
the preset is reached. The light and buzzer are linked to
the pre-alarm and active until unloading is complete.
Setting Options
D.A.N. 426 Settings:
Sets the state of the 12VDC output when PRESET, SEEDTD, PRNOPA,
or PREACT is selected in the D.A.N 406 menu. The SIG 12V setting will
configure the indicator to activate the 12VDC output when a preset weight
is reached. The normal state of the signal will be 0V. The SIG 0V setting
will maintain a 12VDC output when the preset is not active and will
switch to 0V when the preset is active. The default mode is SIG 12V.
D.A.N. 475 Settings:
Determines the behavior of the 12VDC output when D.A.N 406 is set to
PRESET, SEEDTD, PRNOPA, or PREACT. When a time between 0.1 to
99.9 seconds is entered, and D.A.N 406 is set to PRESET the indicator will
activate the 12VDC output when the preset is reached, delay for the
specified time, and set the output to 0VDC after the delay period. When
this is set to zero the 12VDC output will activate when the preset is
reached and stay active until the preset is cleared. The preset is cleared
when unloading stops. The default time is zero.
When unloading is stopped through the Start/Stop button or through
AutoLog2 the 12VDC output deactivates.
D.A.N. 442 Settings:
This setting allows the 12VDC output to activate before the preset is
reached. It can be utilized in any D.A.N 406 mode, other than OFF. The
TOLER setting allows the operator to tune in the preset signal based on
the intended equipment. T he TOLER can be set to WEIGHT or PERCNT.
This setting creates a window, based around the preset weight, and will
activate the 12VDC output, according to the selected D.A.N 406
configuration, when the measured weight is w it hin that window .
D.A.N 476 Settings:
Used to change the normal view of the weight during the unloading
process. There are three modes, NET, GROSS, and LOAD. Default mode
is NET.
NET is the normal grain cart unloading method where the indicator counts
down from zero and displays negative w eight throughout the unloading.
GROSS allows the display of the actual or gross weight of the indicator
and counts down from the total loaded weight.
LOAD displays the active preset weight and counts down from that value.
If more than the prescribed preset is unloaded, the display will begin to
count down from zero and show a negative number.
36 GT460 AutoLog2 Operators Manual D3804
Setting Options
D.A.N 477 Settings:
Determines if the preset is loaded when unloading begins, default is OFF.
Every unloading cycle will use the loaded preset. See page 14.
• OFF – No preset active.
• STORED – Enter an amount for the maximum truck capacity
o Used every time no matter if different trucks with different
capacities are used.
• TRUCK – Enter an amount for each truck
o Used to enter a different preset amount depending on
each trucks capacity.
• PARTCP – Enter any amount
o Used if a less than full load is required.
To keep the 12VDC output signal deactivated during the unloading
process when any D.A.N. 477 setting is ON, press before starting
PTO.
