DISPLAY EXAMPLES
If the DRAFT LIMITS are active, the large LCD will show H (high), C (centre) or L (low)
alongside the weight. See the section DRAFTING (Sorting By Weight).
The lower display will show the ID (if used), Group and Condition Code (if used).
For example: H 568
ID=3456
GRP = 5 CODE = 5.8
A press of the key shows the kill-out weight, according to the Kill-out Percent setting:
For example:
% OF WEIGHT = 312
GRP = 5 CODE = 5.8
DUPLICATE TAG PROTECTION
Protection is provided against accidental duplication of an ID number within a group file.
This feature may be selected ON or OFF in SET-UP.
The user is offered, by way of display prompts, the choice of either over-riding the
duplicate number protection or deleting the number before it is stored in memory along
with its associated weight.
For example, animal number 223 has previously been weighed and stored in the current
group file. Then 223 is re-entered and the WEIGH key is pressed.
The display will show:
ID=223 RE-USED
(DELETE), OK=(ENTER)
If the ID for the animal on the scale has been incorrectly entered, press DELETE one
or more times to backspace through the digits of the ID. Then re-enter the ID and
press WEIGH again.
If the ID is correct, press ENTER to accept it. Note that there will now be two records
with identical IDs in the current group file. The previous ID is probably incorrect and
should be carefully noted.
ID ENTRY - ALTERNATIVE MODE
In most situations, typing an ID and pressing WEIGH is the quickest and most suitable
method of operation. There may however be times when it is useful to type an ID, then
press ENTER to have the display respond to the weight of the animal, instead of
continuing to display the ID. The WEIGH key is pressed when the operator is ready to
record the ID and weight.
For example, when weighing cattle on a platform in a race, the weight can be viewed to
ensure that the animal is properly on the scale and it's true weight is being measured.
WEIGH is pressed when the operator is ready to record the ID and the accurate weight of
the animal.
