then ready for weighing. This means that no buttons need to be touched if the scale is
used for weighing the same thing each time.
Tare
When pressed during normal weighing, the scale will display 4 dashes (----) and cancel
any weight that exists on the weigh bars. After a few seconds the display will show zero
weight, regardless of any weight (such as a weigh box) that may be present. The tare
button also has other purposes that will be described during other various functions.
Mode
Mode selects the weighing mode. The current mode is displayed during normal
operation. There are 3 available weigh modes, each with a different purpose. They are:
Livestock – (Cow icon) This mode is designed to weigh moving weights, such as
animals. The indicator switches to a damping system that filters out sudden changes in
weight, and averages many weight samples over a couple of seconds. Two weights are
displayed at first at one second intervals, then there is a delay until the weight becomes
stable, at which point the actual weight is displayed. The displayed weight will change if
the indicator determines that the weight isn’t quite right.
Livestock Locking – (Cow with a lock icon) Locking mode works the same as normal
livestock mode, except that once a weight is displayed, any change in weight won’t be
shown until the change exceeds +/-5% of that displayed.
General – (Trolley icon) This mode is for weighing static weights and produce. The
displayed weight is updated every second, and doesn’t have any weight damping or
zero tracking. It is suitable for weighing products that are slowly added to, such as
weighing grain being augured into a bin.
Weigh
The weigh button has different functions depending on the mode setting.
In livestock locking mode, pressing the weigh button will cause a new weight reading to
be taken and displayed, regardless of a change in weight.
In livestock and general modes, pressing the weigh button will cause the weight to be
held on the display, even after the weight has been removed. The large lock icon will
be displayed. This held weight will disappear automatically and a new weight will be
displayed when another weight is applied onto the scale. Pressing the weigh button
again when the weight has been removed will cause the display to return to zero.
Kg/lb
The indicator is capable of displaying weights in either pounds or kilograms. Alternate
presses of this button swaps between units. The unit the weight is shown on the display.
Settings
Pressing the settings key once will cause the system capacity to be displayed. Pressing
it again will cause the scale to return to normal weighing. The calibration mode may be
entered by pressing the settings key once, and then pressing the down arrow key.
OK, Back, Up and Down
These keys are mainly used during calibration. Refer to the calibration procedure.
