4. Introduction The Feed Manager is the latest technology in the Hired-Hand controller family. This technology adds the stand-alone controller capability for monitoring feed levels in bins and run times of feed augers. One Feed Manager controller can monitor up to four feed bins and two feed augers from two buildings. Beyond monitoring, it also adds alarm features to help detect feed spills or prevent running out of feed.
Mode, + and - Buttons and Main Display Mode Button – The Mode button is used to select a controller function. Press the Mode button to toggle between specific feed bins and functions. The Mode Indicators light when a function is selected and the associated data is displayed in the Main Display.
Alarm Indications Normal Operation – During normal operation with no alarms present and no specific feed bin or specific operation selected, the following indications will be shown: • The Main Display will continuously show the active feed bin numbers. • The Feed Level Indicators for the active bins will be displaying the feed levels.
If the runtime limit is exceeded, the auxiliary alarm will be triggered. FEED MANAGER PROGRAMMING P 1-9 General Parameters P40 - P49 Hired-Hand Network P1 = Metric Units P40 = HHNET Network Address YES = Metric Units...

P2 – Feed Sensors Activated This general parameter is used to turn additional feed bins ON (press the ‘+’ button) or OFF (press the ‘-‘ button). For example, if you only have two feed bin sensors connected to this control, you can disable bins #3 and #4 displays by setting this to “1 2 - -“.
40 lbs/cu. ft. P40 – P49 Hired-Hand Network These parameters are used with Hired-Hand’s Farm Manager Software. The controller has three parameters which are used to function with the Hired-Hand PC compatible inter-controller network (HH.Net).
P42 – Controller Setup This is not settable by the user. It is a unique number that allows the network software (Farm Manager) to recognize the type of controller. PS1 – PS9 Sensor Readings The Feed Manager will accommodate up to four Feed Level Sensors. The sensor reading will display for PSx where x is the sensor number.
Feed Level Feed Level When the Feed Level indicator is ON, the Main Display will show the amount of feed remaining in the specific feed bin. The Feed Level is shown in number of feet or meters from the feed bin’s boot. The unit of measure (Feet or Meters) can be set in the Program P1 setting (Refer to Section 6.1).
Min. Feed Capacity (%) Min Feed Capacity The Min. Feed Capacity feature monitors the amount feed in the feed bins and will activate the Auxiliary Alarm output if the feed decreases below the selected amount of minimum feed. When the feed level decreases below the Min.

For example, if 15 is selected, the Auxiliary Alarm will activate if the run time exceeds 15 minutes. To increase or decrease the Max. Fill Time minutes, press the Plus + or Minus - button until the desired value is shown in the Main Display. To turn the Max. Fill Time function OFF for both feed auger motors, repeatedly press the Minus - button until OFF is shown in the Main Display.
