8. SET-UP
The operation of the FX41 system can be modified to suit individual needs by pressing
the SET-UP key and configuring various options.
At each option the user may change the setting or move on to the next.
For an early exit from set-up, press the SET-UP key rather than stepping through all
options.
All set-up parameters are stored in permanent memory.
NOTE : Ensure that the correct set of loadbars or platform is connected to the FX41
indicator before attempting to change any set-up parameters. There are three possible
scale types that are automatically recognised when plugged in, as shown by the Scale
1,2,3 annunciators on the right of the display. All of the set-up parameters are
independently set and stored for each scale type.
PREFIXING: ON / OFF
When selected ON, allows an ID prefix of up to 8 digits to be entered. When weighing,
the ID is automatically set to the prefix number, then extra ID digits may be manually
added if required. This feature is useful where the first part of the IDs will be identical for
all or part of a weighing session.
WEIGHT GAIN: OFF / AUTO / MANUAL
If weight gain analysis is not required, for best operating speed set to WEIGHT GAIN =
OFF. When there are large numbers of records in memory, gain comparisons may take
some time to calculate.
In AUTO mode, the weight gain calculations are performed automatically. In MANUAL
mode they are under user control. Refer to Section 9: SPECIAL MODES - WEIGHT
GAIN for full details.
If the MANUAL mode is selected, the user is prompted to enter the group file number to
be used in the weight comparisons.
NOTE 1: If either weight gain mode is enabled, options to Draft by Weight Gain and
Draft by Gain Per Day become available when the DRAFT LIMITS key is pressed.
NOTE 2: If either weight gain mode is enabled, ensure that MULTIPLE WEIGH = OFF.
KILL-OUT PERCENT
The percent setting (range 0.0 – 999.9%) is the value used for calculating kill-out weight
or projected growth weights, as displayed by a press of the key after a new weighing
is done.
