1. SYSTEM CARE
The FX21 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 LOW BAT 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.
♦ he 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.
