Connecting the Gallagher W-0

How to connect your Gallagher W-0 to your AgriWebb Mobile App.

Updated over 5 months ago

Note: The ability to connect hardware is only available on Individual Animal Management. For further information on this feel free to check out our Plan and Pricing page or contact the team.


Setup Considerations

The W-0 has 2 physical male connectors (Amphenol plug) that can connect to Load Bars.

The W-0 ONLY sends weight information to AgriWebb and does not read any EIDs directly. You can still get EID information by connecting an EID Reader directly to your AgriWebb Mobile App.

NOTE: If you have an Apple iOS device, make sure you select an EID Reader that can support iOS. The full list of supported EID Readers is found here.

More Info about the W-0 is available on Gallaghers website.


Setup Option

If you have a Bluetooth Panel Reader, that will replace the bluetooth stick reader in the following diagrams.

Steps for starting a Live Session can be found here.


Held Weights

After receiving a locked weight the AgriWebb App (from v3.6.11+) will monitor the live weight coming from the W-0 to identify when the animal clears the scales in preparation for the next animal to come in.

If a new locked wight it received before the next animal is scanned or manually selected then the app will hold the weight for the next animal.

The live session will announce that the weight is being held and a button will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the session screen.

If the weight is meant for the current animal then tap on the held weight icon to reveal the action menu and tap on the option "Apply weight to the current animal". This will take the held weight and set it on the current animal immediately.
