GT465 FEATURES
Weighing/ Data Center
The GT465 indicator serves as a weighing and data transfer center that can be connected to today’s ISOBUS Virtual
Terminals (VT). Weighing information is displayed on the virtual terminal and all data transfer takes place at the
GT465 indicator. Weight, date, time and additional notes are all stored automatically at the GT465 with AutoLog.
The GT465 also serves as a display for the combine operator to view while loading the cart. If issues arise with the
virtual terminal the system can be operated from the GT465.
Preset Active Signal
Preset Active Signal uses a combination of settings to program the 12 volt Alarm Out relay, with the ability to
enter a preset weight. With this programming control, the GT465 can be connected to a variety of accessories
such as external alarms, hydraulic solenoids, and other electronics. The preset weight is activated by AutoLog for
use of more hands free applications.
USB Port
USB flash drive has capacity to hold thousands of data records and allows easy data transfer to your office PC.
Records can be stored for an entire season in the indicator memory and transferred on one 256 Megabyte or
larger USB flash drive.
Grain Tracker™
Grain TrackerTM software provided with GT465 indicator (on the USB flash drive included) allows generation of a
variety of reports on your PC. Reports can be read by programs such as Microsoft ExcelTM, Adobe AcrobatTM and
Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM.
Memory Capacity – 13,000 Loads
Virtual Terminals
The GT465, when connected to the ISOBUS should be detected by the virtual terminal. If not, check all
connections and that the GT465 is powering up. If no issues are found, please contact the virtual terminal
manufacturer for more troubleshooting tips or terminal updates.
