CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The Tal-Tec electronic scale is rugged and robust,
designed to withstand the punishment of livestock
handling. However, below are a few simple rules that
should be followed to ensure the maximum life of the
equipment.
1. The loadbars are designed to be splash and rinse
proof. Under no circumstances should the equipment
be submerged in water.
2. For maximum life, the loadbars should not be
exposed to moisture or animal manure for extended
periods. Although the loadcells have been
electroplated to prevent corrosion, prolonged
exposure to moisture will cause the cells to fail.
3. The loadbars should be stored in a clean and dry
state.
4. The cables should be placed so that they will not
be walked on or squashed in any way. Fitting
cables inside heavy plastic, under timber,
underground or up posts are possible options. Any
cuts or splits in the cable will affect the performance
of the scale and lead to failure, even if the slightest
amount of moisture gets in. It is advisable to return
damaged equipment to Tal-Tec for repair. If
emergency repairs are needed, it is very important
that the cable be thoroughly dried. Each core should
be individually soldered and insulated.
