3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WEIGHING MODES
The WEIGH MODE key allows the operator to choose between FREE mode and up to 3
versions of HOLD mode. A pointer on the display shows which mode is selected. At
switch-on, the weighing mode last used in the previous weighing session is
automatically selected.
Free Mode ’Gsff’
The display is continuously updated with the weight currently on the scale. If the WEIGH
key is used, the averaged weight is briefly displayed, a new record added to memory
and sent to the printer, if connected. FREE mode is suitable for static load weighing.
Hold Mode ’I1me’
A press of the WEIGH key starts an averaging process which then displays the accurate
weight of the moving animal. A new record is added to memory and sent to the printer, if
connected. 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 the WEIGH MODE key is pressed.
Speed Mode ‘TQFFe’
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 ‘I/tQFFe’
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.
DELETE FUNCTIONS
The DELETE key has 3 functions:
1. Deleting the last stored weight : To remove the last weighing record from memory
and adjust the statistics for the selected group, press the DELETE key.
‘eFMfuf’ is displayed as confirmation, or ‘opof’ if not permitted.
2. 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).
3. Clearing records (see CLEARING RECORDS section).
