DRAFT LIMITS KEY
Draft limits may be set to allow sorting of animals into weight ranges. Both 2-way and 3-way drafting are
possible.
NO DRAFTING: Set draft limits Draft 1 and Draft 2 to 0.0
2 WAY DRAFTING: Set one draft limit to the required weight and set the other to 0.0
The display will show H (high) or L (low) alongside the weight.
3 WAY DRAFTING: Set the draft limits to the required weights.
The display will show H (high), C (centre) or L (low) alongside the weight.
SETTING THE DRAFT LIMITS
Press DRAFT LIMITS for drAFt.1. Then enter the weight using the numeric keypad.

GROUPS (MOB FILES)
A new record is stored (in permanent memory) in the selected group (mob file) whenever WEIGH is
pressed. A record consists of:
Tag Number (if used), Group, Condition Score (if used) and Weight.
In normal operation, before starting a new weighing session, a previously unused group is selected from
the range 1 – 99. At the end of the session, or at any time during, the statistics for the group may be
displayed or printed. Individual records for the selected group may also be printed.
MEMORY CAPACITY: 7238 records in total for Version 4.01 onwards
3626 records in total for earlier versions
The version number of the FX21 is displayed at switch-on as ‘p5.03’ for example.
The memory capacity may be shared between the groups in any manner. i.e. any number of groups may
be used with any number of records in each, providing the total number of records does not exceed 7238
(3626). See the section below USING “ALL GROUPS” for how to check the total number of records that
have been used.
When the record limit is reached, for a further press of WEIGH the message ‘FULL’ will be displayed.
No more records are able to be stored until some or all of the existing records are cleared. Usually
records from a previous weighing session (stored in another group) can be cleared so that more records
can be added to the currently selected group.
DISPLAYING AND SELECTING A GROUP
Press the key, then press
GROUP to display the selected group, for example ’GrP 25’ where Group
25 is selected.
To continue putting records into this group, press again to return to the normal operating mode.
Or, if a different group is required for the new weighing session, type the new group number from the
range 1 to 99, for example 3 9, to display ’GrP 39’.
To accept the new setting and return to the normal operating mode, press .
To see whether the selected group already has records in it, check the statistics for the group using
then
WGT STATS. See the STATISTICS section below.
