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
When not in use, fit caps to cable ends and indicator sockets to protect from dirt and
moisture. Hang the cable ends up, out of mud and dust.
While in use, fit indicator and loadbar caps together to keep caps clean and dry.
Damage may occur if the capacity of the scale is exceeded.
BATTERY CARE IMPORTANT !!!
Battery life will be shortened considerably if not properly cared for.
Always recharge the battery for 8 – 16 hours AFTER USE.
If the FX21 has been unused for 1 week or more, recharge for at least 8 – 16 hours
BEFORE USE.
For long term storage, recharge ONCE PER MONTH.
For recharging, use the Iconix AC adaptor provided (18V DC output).
When the internal battery is low on charge (the LOW BAT pointer is on), weighing
may continue by connecting the AC Adaptor/Charger if mains power is available or
using the battery clip lead to connect an external 12V battery.
SITE PREPARATION
The choice of weighing site is important for accurate weighing and ease of use.
A well chosen site that is LEVEL and FIRM will ensure the best conditions for
accurate weighing.
The 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 with the
minimum of fuss.
Mounting the indicator away from the crate will help to keep hands free of the crate
when the weigh cycle is started.
