WEIGH MODE KEY
The WEIGH MODE key allows the operator to change the weighing mode to FREE or one of three types of
HOLD mode. FREE and HOLD pointers s on the display show which mode is selected
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, not for weighing animals.
HOLD Mode ‘HOLd’
Pressing WEIGH starts an averaging process, which then displays the accurate weight of the animal. A
new record is added to memory. The weight is locked on the display until the next key press.
Auto-Drafting Option: When the Auto-Drafting option is enabled in Set-Up, there are two additional
settings available when WEIGH MODE is pressed.
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. For example, the Racewell Industries sheep crate
and Rite-Weigh portable sheep crate.
HIGH SPEED Mode ‘H.SPEEd’
The fastest version of the standard HOLD mode with a 0.7 second weigh time. Only suitable for use with
special crates that restrict animal movement, allowing faster weighing. For example, the Racewell
Industries sheep crate.
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. For a complete description of
the weighing process, see the GETTING STARTED section above.
DUPLICATE TAG NUMBERS
If a tag number is repeated, when WEIGH is pressed, ’dUPL’ is alternately displayed with the tag number.
If the number is correct, press WEIGH again to continue (noting that the
previous
use of that number is
probably incorrect).
If incorrect, use DELETE one or more times, then re-enter.
Zero is not considered to be a valid tag number, so repeated use is permitted.
The FX21 is factory set with this feature enabled. See Set-Up section for details on disabling.
DELETE KEY
The DELETE key has 3 functions:
♦ If there has been a problem with the weighing, press DELETE to delete the last weighing record from
memory. ’dELEtE’ 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.
♦ When using the numeric keypad for entering Tag numbers, Group or Condition Score, use DELETE to
remove the last entered digit (repeated use of DELETE is permitted).
♦ Clearing records (see CLEARING RECORDS section).
