MODE KEY
The MODE key allows the operator to change the weighing mode to FREE mode or one of three
variations on HOLD mode, as indicated by the HOLD pointer on the display.
HOLD Mode ‘HOLD’
Pressing WEIGH starts an averaging process, which then displays the accurate weight of the moving
animal. Each weight is added to the statistics and locked on the display until the next key press.
RACE Mode ‘race’
A version of the standard HOLD mode for weighing cattle in a race, where the weighing result may
be affected by the animal leaning against the race. Wait until the animal has been clear of the race
for about 1.5 seconds, then press WEIGH.
SPEED Mode ‘SPEEd’
A fast version of the standard HOLD mode with a 1.3 second weigh time. Only for use with special
crates that restrict animal movement, allowing faster weighing.
FREE Mode ‘Free’
The display is continuously updated with the weight currently on the scale. If WEIGH is used, the
averaged weight is briefly displayed and added to the statistics. FREE mode is suitable for static
load weighing.
WEIGH KEY
To weigh an animal on the scale, 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. For a complete description of the weighing process, see the GETTING STARTED
section above.
DELETE KEY
If there has been a problem with the weighing, press DELETE to delete the last weighing from the
statistics. ’dELEt’ is displayed as confirmation. It is only possible to delete the last weighing
immediately after the animal has been weighed. ’nonE’ is displayed if deletion is not possible.
DRAFT KEY
A draft limit may be set to allow sorting of animals into high or low weight ranges. When the animal
has been weighed, the display will show H (high) or L (low) alongside the weight. If drafting is not
required, set the draft limit ’d 0.0'.
To set the draft limit, press DRAFT. The display will show the current limit, for example ’d 560'.
To change the draft limit, press ZERO (+) to increase or MODE (–) to decrease.
Single presses of these keys will step the draft limit up or down by one resolution step at a time.
Holding the keys down allows rapid scrolling up or down.
You may return the draft limit to ’d 0.0', by pressing DELETE.
When the draft limit has been set, press DRAFT to return to the weighing mode.
