Preface
We at GSE wish to thank you for selecting the Agrifeed 5500 Digital
Weight Indicator for your weighing needs. The Agrifeed 5500 continues the GSE tradition of Excellence in Weighing Technology . When properly installed and maintained, the Agrifeed 5500 will provide many years of reliable, accurate performance. Please read the sections on installation and setup before proceeding with installation.
Warning
The Agrifeed 5500 contains components which could be damaged by
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) if serviced improperly. Use proper ESD precautions (wear a wrist strap connected to ground, use grounded work stations, etc.) when opening the enclosure. ALWAYS unplug the
Agrifeed 5500 when opening the enclosure. Installation and servicing of the Agrifeed 5500 should be performed by authorized and qualified service personnel only!
It is important to ensure that the indicator stand is grounded to the truck frame or the truck battery. If the indicator stand cannot be secured directly to the truck frame, then it is necessary to provide a grounding strap from the stand to the frame. Failure to ground the stand can result in the buildup of a static charge that could damage electrical components within the indicator, thus voiding the warranty. The indicator power cable should be run directly to the positive and negative terminals of the battery.

Section 2: Installation
2.1 Unpacking
When unpacking your new Agrifeed 5500 Indicator, do not discard any packing material until you are sure you have all the components needed for your installation. Small bags are included containing parts that may be required for a complete installation.
2.2 Mounting
This section contains information necessary for proper installation of the
Agrifeed 5500. The standard enclosure is designed to allow wiring without opening the enclosure. All wiring is accessible through bottom connectors (see Figure 6: Agrifeed 5500 Connector Label ).
2.2.1 Environmental
The Agrifeed 5500 Stainless Steel enclosure is designed to NEMA 4X
(IP66) type specifications.
2.2.2 Rear Panel Mounting
The standard enclosure is designed to attach to an existing stand for mounting. Note that the stand shown in Figure 3 is not supplied by GSE.
Figure 3: Rear Panel Mounting Screws
7
2.2.3 Swivel Mounting (Optional)
The optional swivel mounting bracket allows the enclosure to be securely fastened to another surface. The bracket is attached to the indicator with four thumbscrews two of which are used to lock the swivel for optimal viewing angle.
2.3 Legal for Trade
Most legal-for-trade installations will require the Agrifeed 5500 to be sealed. A sealed indicator cannot be accessed for setup or calibration changes without breaking a physical seal or incrementing an event counter, thus providing evidence of tampering.
The Agrifeed 5500 has two types of sealing provisions, a physical seal and a three event audit trail counter. Check with your local weights and measures authority to determine your requirements.
The most common sealing method is a lead-wire seal. Before applying a wire seal, move the program jumper to the ‘NO’ position as shown in
Figure 4 .
Doing this will prevent access to the Setup and Calibration
Modes.
Figure 4: Program Jumper
8
The seal will pass through two back panel screws as shown in Figure 5 .
Figure 5: Legal for Trade Sealing Method
2.3.2 Audit Trail
Three separate incrementing, non-resetable audit trail parameters are used to indicate changes to various parameters, P60201 – OIML, P60203
– Calibration , and P60204 – Setup. An audit trail counter will increment only once upon exiting the Setup Mode and saving changes regardless of how many settings were changed.
With the indicator off, press and hold [CLR] key and turn power on.
Continue to hold [CLR] until " Macro Disbl " is displayed. Key in
" 60203 " and press [NET/GROSS] to view the calibration event counter, or key in " 60204 " and press [ NET/GROSS ] to view the configuration event counter. To return to the normal weigh mode from either parameter
" 60203 " or " 60204 ", press the [ZERO] key.
2.4 Wiring
A description of all wiring terminals is included on the bottom label of the enclosure as shown in Figure 6 .
Figure 6: Agrifeed 5500 Connector Label
9
A high quality cable with braided shield is recommended. Use a fourconductor, 16 to 24 AWG stranded wire cable for load cell or summing box connections.
The printer port is a RS232 bi-directional serial port that can be connected to a printer or computer. Use the custom print formats described in section 3.3.3 to configure the printer port output.
When making the printer port connections, consideration should be given to the communication protocol. Refer to Table 3 in order to determine proper wiring for the printer port.

2.4.4 Remote Key Connection
A remote key may be connected to the Agrifeed 5500 to provide remote activation of TARE, ZERO, PRINT/ADVANCE and PRINT & TARE functions.
The connection for the remote key input is between pin 4 of the power connector and ground (pin 2). A two-conductor cable between 28 and 20
AWG is recommended. The input requires a contact closure from a push-button switch, a mechanical relay contact or other such device.
Do NOT apply an external voltage to the remote key terminal! Only a contact closure is required to activate the remote key input.
Figure 7: Remote Key Connection
The open circuit voltage across the Remote Key pins is +5 VDC. A closed switch will conduct about 0.25 mA. Therefore, a low-voltage switch with gold-plated or mercury wetted contacts is recommended.
The input may also be activated remotely with a RF remote key. A minimum contact duration of 100 ms is required. Once invoked, the selected remote key operation will not repeat until the contact is released and closed again.
The Agrifeed 5500 is powered by an external 10.5-16 VDC power source. The power supply should have a minimum current rating of
800mA. Table 5 shows the power connector pin locations.

This connection is used in conjunction with the [MIX TIMER] key.
When the mix timer is not active pin 3 has a floating output. When the mix timer is active (i.e. counting down) pin 3 is pulled high to the supply voltage.
Example:
The indicator power is supplied by a truck battery, typically 13.8 volts. The output from pin 3 is 13.8 volts when the mix timer is active.

[SELECT INGRED] before pressing the [START BATCH] to scroll through the remaining ingredients of the current recipe/batch.
When loading, the target weight is displayed as a negative net weight.
Fill each ingredient to a net weight of zero (0).
During the loading process, the bottom-right of the display gives an
UNDER/GOOD/OVER annunciation. This serves as a visual aide, indicating that loaded weight is over, under or within the desired tolerance.
The Pre-Alarm also provides a visual and audible alarm during the loading process. When the pre-alarm weight is reached, the display back-light flashes slowly, accompanied by a series of warning beeps.
When the target weight is reached, the display back-light flashes rapidly along with another series of beeps.
50
To manually advance ingredients:
Press [SELECT INGRED] . This records the loaded net weight of the previous ingredient, deletes the ingredient from the loading list, then waits for you to press [START] to begin the loading process for the next ingredient. It is possible to temporarily skip ingredients by pressing
[SELECT INGRED] before pressing [START] .
Pressing [STOP] during the loading process will record the weight already loaded for the current ingredient, but will not delete it from the loading list. Thus it is possible to load the remaining weight out of sequence at a later time.
Pressing [STOP] twice consecutively during the loading process aborts the batch.
To advance ingredients automatically:
Enable the ADVANCE TOLERANCE parameter in the Scale Setup mode. When the loaded weight is within the specified tolerance for the amount of time specified by the ADVANCE DELAY, the next ingredient is automatically selected. The weight of the previous ingredient is recorded and the ingredient is deleted from the loading list.
To Advance Ingredients with Remote Key:
Disable the ADVANCE TOLERANCE in the Scale Setup mode and set the REMOTE INPUT ACTION to ‘PRINT/ADVANCE’. Activating the remote key will print a ticket and then advance to the next ingredient similar to the automatic method.
A pen number can be assigned to each location that a recipe is unloaded.

Make sure the Agrifeed 5500 is in the UNLOAD mode – if it is in the LOAD mode, press [UNLOAD] .
2.
Press [START BATCH] .
3.
The batch target is displayed in terms of how many animals can be fed based on the current gross weight. Key in the number of animals to feed, up to the maximum number displayed, and press [ENTER] .
4.
The display prompts “Enter Pen/ID:” . Key in the pen ID# and press [ENTER] .
5.
Press [START BATCH] to begin the unload process.
5.2.6 Unfinished Load / Unload
If the LOAD or UNLOAD process is stopped without completion, the function will be highlighted on the display. If a LOAD was interrupted and the [ LOAD/UNLOAD ] key is pressed to switch to UNLOAD , the following prompt will appear:
53
RECIPE NOT COMPLETE!
Do you wish to cancel loading the ingredients?
[YES] / [NO]
Selecting “YES” clears the load and returns to the weigh mode. Selecting
“NO” exits to the weigh mode and the LOAD will remain highlighted until the batch is complete.
If a pen routing list is loaded or an unload is not complete, the UNLOAD will be highlighted. With the UNLOAD highlighted, you may switch to the LOAD mode and do a batch without losing unload data.

Section 6: Troubleshooting
This section of the manual provides information on error messages, troubleshooting and servicing the Agrifeed 5500 indicator.
6.1 Operational Mode Error Messages
Message Description
02 UnderLoad! Input signal less than negative full scale. If this is due to excessive loading, reduce the load. Otherwise check the load cell connections. Verify that the scale capacity in section 3.3.2 is correct.
03 Over-Load! Input signal is greater than positive full scale. Use same check as for underload.
04 # > Dsply Number to be displayed will not fit within 6 digits. This will not normally occur for the Gross, Net or Tare Weights. Either clear the totals or settle for only being able to transmit the totals.
05 Zero> Max.! An attempt was made to zero out more than allowed. The allowed value is 10% of scale capacity. Use the [TARE] key for subtracting off container weights or if large dead-load is always to be present, apply this dead-load during the No Load? prompt during calibration to permanently eliminate the offset.
06 Tare>F.S.!
07 Tare < 0 !
Tare entry was greater than full scale. Most likely the entered tare value was incorrect.
Negative tare attempted, but not allowed. For auto-tares, the
GROSS Weight must be greater than zero unless.
08 CheckConn. This message is displayed if the signal into the A/D is +/- 2 times the Full Scale signal. This is effectively taken into consideration when the information sent to the micro processor from the A/D is +/- twice the allowable F.S. reading. For example, Scale Capacity = 100. Error message will be displayed at +/- 208 taking into consideration the 4% overload.

If a data transmission of any weight-related numeric data such as Gross,
Net or Tare, is sent to the remote as dashes, an overload or under load
(negative overload) condition was in effect. Remove the cause of the overload (or under load) and repeat the transmission.
If an overload or underload occurs due to an electrical overstress (EOS) normally due to lightning or ESD discharge, press [CLR] . The message
"wait 1" will appear for about 1 second. The A/D converter will then be reset and the system should again be functional. If not, power down for a few seconds. If the indicator still does not work properly after power-up, check the load cell or platform wiring.
59
The Agrifeed 5500 Analog-to-Digital Converter (A/D) is calibrated at the factory to ensure a stable, linear response to the load cell signal. This calibration procedure calculates critical values that are permanently stored in parameters P61110 – P61121. The A/D calibration should not be confused with the standard weight calibration. It should never be necessary to recalibrate the A/D. However, if the values stored at parameters P61110 – P61121 appear to be reset to 0.00000 and/or
1.00000, then A/D re-calibration is necessary. Contact GSE or your local authorized GSE distributor for more information on this procedure.
WARNING! There are no user-serviceable items in the Agrifeed
5500 indicator! Service must be performed by qualified service technicians only! Attempts to service these indicators by unqualified personnel may void the warranty!
