About the Gallagher TW & TWR series

The TWR series

All Gallagher TWR devices are a weigh scale and reader, meaning it has an EID reader built into the unit. 

The Gallagher TWR series is a data logger. A data logger brings in multiple strings of data e.g. EID, weights, traits etc.....

A Gallagher TWR series has the option to be set as a weigh scale only OR a weigh scale and reader. 

The TW series

All Gallager TW devices are a weigh scale only and therefore only bring in the weight. 

All Gallagher TW devices are connected as Gallagher/Ruddweigh KM3/300..800 in Stockbook  

 

Note, a Gallagher TW series can be set as a data logger - i.e. when paired to another device such as a reader and then connected to Stockbook - not recommended



It is important to identify which series and model you are connecting.

The Model can be found on front of the device below the screen.
