1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of a Digi-Star TMR4610 scale indicator. Your TMR4610 is the culmination of more than 30 years of agricultural weighing engineering and expertise. With proper operation and preventative maintenance, the TMR4610 will last for many years.
The Digi-Star TMR4610 is primarily designed for weighing agricultural animal feed products during the loading and unloading of mobile and stationary feed mixers. The TMR4610 can also be used on feed delivery boxes, forage wagons, grain carts, and animal scales.
The TMR4610 is not for use with applications for which the TMR4610 is not intended, or as outlined in this manual.
Use of the TMR4610 outside of its intended purposes may result in inaccurate weight measurement or damage to instrument.
Introduction
D4208-EN TMR4610 Operators Manual 5
2.0 TMR4610 SPECIAL FEATURES
Preset Weight
The TMR4610 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 TMR4610 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 TMR4610 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 TMR4610 to display a specific Service or Maintenance message after a predetermined period of operation like a Change Oil message in an automobile.
See section 11.9 for details.
Machine Hour Meter
The TMR4610 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
Three-line LCD Display White Back Light
A much brighter three-line LCD display to read in day light hours. With a bright white back light, the LCD can be seen at greater distances at night.
Log-In / Log-Out
This feature is designed for customers with more than one TMR4610 being used for feeding. The operator can log out of the current TMR4610 being used for feeding and all the feeding information will be saved on the USB. Then the operator can go and log in to a different TMR4610 and install the USB, this will load all the feeding information. This allows the operator to continue feeding from exactly where they left off.

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 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 ensure 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.
