Connecting to Gallagher Hardware Indicators
Updated over 3 months ago

Note: The ability to connect to EID 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.

Select the Specific Gallagher Indicator you are connecting to below:

Gallagher W-0
Gallagher TW-1/TW-3
Gallagher TWR-1/TWR-5

W-0 Setup Considerations

The W0 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 Options

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

  1. On TWR5 Go to Cog Wheel (Settings) > Equipment Connections

    • Select AgriWebb

    • Select Settings
      Data Device Output Settings*

    • Name = AgriWebb

    • Type = Data Logger

    • Optional resend on data change = Yes

    *When displayed as Data Device Input Settings

    • Equipment Connections > Data Device 1 > Select AgriWebb

    • Select Change

    • Disconnect

    • Select the type of Data Device > Output > Next

    • Select how you wish to connect to device Bluetooth or Wifi

  2. On the TWR go to Cog Wheel (Settings) > Device Settings > Bluetooth

    • Ensure that Enable Bluetooth is on (a tick will be present).

    • Tap on your device under Connected Devices

    • Verify that the device is classified as a Data Device, but if not tap on Data Device to set that option.

  3. If connecting via WIFI ensure that WIFI is enabled, and the device is a Data Device
