1. SYSTEM CARE
The FX15+ weighing system has been designed to work reliably for long periods of time under
adverse conditions. However like any equipment, common sense and care will assist in keeping it in
good operating condition.
ESSENTIAL CARE
Fit caps to cable ends and indicator sockets when not in use to protect from dirt and moisture.
Hang the cable ends up, out of mud and dust.
Damage may occur if the capacity of the scale is exceeded.
Loadbar cables must be kept in good condition.
BATTERY CARE
IMPORTANT !
BATTERY LIFE WILL BE CONSIDERABLY SHORTENED
IF IT IS NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR
Always recharge the battery with the Iconix AC Adaptor provided for 8 - 12 hours AFTER USE
with the loadbars disconnected from the indicator.
For long term storage, recharge ONCE PER MONTH with the loadbars disconnected.
When the battery is low on charge (the BATT. pointer s is on), weighing may continue by
connecting the AC Adaptor if mains power is available or by using the battery clip leads to
connect to an external 12V battery.
The AC Adaptor should not be left plugged into the indicator for long periods of time.
SITE PREPARATION
The choice of weighing site is important for accurate weighing and ease of use.
A well chosen site that is level will ensure the best conditions for accurate weighing.
The loadbars must be bolted to the platform or crate and be firmly attached to the ground or
concrete pad.
Any rocking or twisting of the platform could result in weighing errors.
Adequate clearance around the platform is essential. Any binding or rubbing with posts or
gates will produce weighing errors.
The race bracket is best mounted on a fence or post and not the crate.
Mount the indicator in a well lit position for best readability.
A well chosen site will help animals flow smoothly through the system.
Mounting the indicator away from the crate will help to keep hands free of the crate when the
weigh cycle is started.
