2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GETTING STARTED
Connect the two loadbar cables to the loadbar sockets marked on the rear of the indicator.
Either: Use the internal rechargeable battery
or: Use the Iconix AC adaptor
or: Attach the optional battery cable to the FX15+ and clip onto a 12V DC battery (car,
tractor battery etc.). ENSURE CORRECT POLARITY: red clip to +, black clip to ―.
The internal battery cannot be recharged from an external battery, however it can be handy for
continuing to weigh when the internal battery is flat.
Press the ON key. The FX15+ initially displays the firmware version number e.g. 'P6.01'.
Then the FX15+ shows the type of loadbars attached:
’SCAL.1’ for standard loadbars or ’SCAL.3’ for heavy-duty loadbars.
The scale will automatically return to zero. When complete, the ZERO pointer will show that
the scale is at zero.
NOTE: If a large load (such as a partly filled wool bale in a wool press) remains on the scale
from previous use, the last weight will be displayed. The operator can continue the weighing
session from where last finished. Alternatively, press ZERO to return the scale to zero.
If this is a new weighing session, the operator will probably want to start with cleared statistics
(see CLEARING STATISTICS section below).
Check that the ZERO pointer is displayed. Load the animal onto the platform.
Press WEIGH. The animal is accurately weighed and the result locked on the display (in HOLD
mode). A new weight record is added to memory and the statistics are updated.
Remove the animal from the weighing platform. The last animal’s weight remains locked on
the display. Check that the ZERO pointer is displayed between animal weighings. If the
ZERO pointer does not appear, hold the next animal back, keep hands etc. clear of the crate
and press ZERO. The scale will be returned to zero and the weighing session can proceed.
At the end of the weighing session, switch the indicator OFF. Remove the battery and loadbar
cables.
After the weighing session has been completed, recharge the battery overnight (see
BATTERY CARE section). It is very important for battery life to store the FX15+ with the
battery fully charged.
ENSURE THAT THE CAPS ARE FIRMLY REPLACED ON THE LOADBAR AND
INDICATOR CONNECTORS
