D4023-EN TMR3610 Operators Manual 5
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of a Digi-Star TMR3610 scale indicator. Your TMR3610 is the
culmination of more than 30 years of agricultural weighing engineering and expertise. With
proper operation and preventative maintenance, the TMR3610 will last for many years.
The Digi-Star TMR3610 is primarily designed for weighing agricultural animal feed products
during the loading and unloading of mobile and stationary feed mixers. The TMR3610 can
also be used on feed delivery boxes, forage wagons, grain carts, and animal scales.
The TMR3610 is not for use with applications for which the TMR3610 is not intended, or as
outlined in this manual.
Use of the TMR3610 outside of its intended purposes may result in inaccurate weight
measurement or damage to instrument.
Introduction
6 TMR3610 Operators Manual D4023-EN
2.0 TMR3610 SPECIAL FEATURES
Preset Weight
The TMR3610 indicator provides simple to use and very useful Preset Weight feature. Using
the numeric keypad the operator can enter the desired weight of product that the operator
wants to load or unload. Once loading or unloading begins the TMR3610 will count down to 0
(zero). As the weight approaches 0 the audio and visual alarms will begin to pulse with the
frequency of the pulses increasing the closer the preset weight gets to 0. At 0 the alarm light
and buzzer will sound continuously.
See section 10.3 for details.
Rotation Counter / Timer
The Rotation Counter / Timer provides the useful benefit of monitoring mix revolutions or mix
time and a warning light, buzzer, or external signal will indicate when the desired mix
revolutions or time has been achieved. For this the TMR3610 uses an optional Rotation
Counter Sensor (See Option Equipment Section: 17.0) which is fitted to the drive line of the
feed mixer. See section 11.7 for details.
Maintenance Message
The Maintenance Message is available with the Machine Hour Meter function noted above and
provides the ability for the equipment manufacturer or equipment owner to utilize the TMR3610
to display a specific Service or Maintenance message after a predetermined period of
operation similar to a Change Oil message in an automobile.
See section 11.9 for details.
Machine Hour Meter
The TMR3610 when fitted with the Rotation Counter Sensor can be configured to record hours
of operation. The Machine Hour Meter can provide valuable information to aid the user in
determining when maintenance and upkeep is required.
See section 11.6 for details

3.0 ACCURACY STATEMENT
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE USING THE SCALE SYSTEM
Digi-Star Scale Systems are designed and manufactured to provide the greatest accuracy
possible. However, proper installation and use are required in order to obtain the highest level
of accuracy.
When using the scale system, the following must be considered in order to realize the best
possible performance and accuracy.
Load cells must be installed with 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 the load cells are installed correctly. Incorrect installation of load cells will
result in inaccurate measurement.
Load cells should not be subjected to any strains or loads other than the weight of the load.
Stress or strain caused by misalignment or other factors when accurate weight readings
are desired will negatively affect the accuracy.
The weighing unit should be stationary with minimum movement, and on a level surface, to
insure that weight readings are as accurate as possible.
o The effect of movement on accuracy depends on the speed and roughness of the
ground and application. Rougher terrain and faster and/or greater movement increases
the degradation of accuracy.
o A level surface is defined as being less than a 5” (13cm) change in rise over 10’ (3.0m)
of run. As the slope of the terrain increases, degradation of accuracy will also increase.
