1. SYSTEM CARE
The FX41 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.
Fit caps to cable ends and indicator sockets when not in use to protect from dirt and
moisture. Hang the cable ends up, out of mud and dust.
Damage may occur if the capacity of the scale is exceeded.
Loadbar cables must be kept in good condition.
BATTERY CARE
NOTE: BATTERY LIFE WILL BE SHORTENED CONSIDERABLY IF IT
IS NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR.
Always recharge for 8-12 hours AFTER USE with the FX41 switched ON and the
loadbars disconnected.
For long term storage, recharge ONCE PER MONTH with the FX41 switched ON
and the loadbars disconnected.
When the battery is low on charge (the LOW BAT pointer s 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.
It is not recommended that the battery charger be left plugged into the indicator for
long periods of time.
To display the battery voltage, press the ENTER key while the FX41 is in the normal
operating mode. The voltage should be in the range 12.6 to 13.2V for a fully charged
battery. Note that while recharging with the Iconix AC adaptor provided, the output
voltage of the charger is displayed (18-19V DC).
SITE PREPARATION
The choice of weighing site is important for accurate weighing and ease of use.
A well chosen level site 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.
