Increments
The T10 displays in varying weight increments, depending on a number of factors.
These factors include the capacity of the system, the weighing mode, and the amount of
weight applied. The guide below shows the increments used.
If system capacity is 200kg (440lb) or less;
General - 0.1kg (0.2lb)
Livestock - 0-50kg (0-110lb), 0.2kg (0.4lb)
50-200kg (110-440lb), 0.5kg (1lb)
For 201kg (441lb) to 2000kg (4400lb) load cell systems;
General - 0-50kg (0-110lb), 0.1kg (0.2lb)
50-500kg (110-1100lb), 0.2kg (0.4lb)
500-1000kg (1100-2200lb), 0.5kg (1lb)
>1000kg (2200lb), 1kg (2lb)
Livestock - 0-100kg (0-220lb), 0.5kg
100-500kg (220-1100lb), 1kg (2lb)
>500kg (1100lb), 2kg (5lb)
For systems over 2000kg (4400lb);
General - 0-50kg (0-110lb), 0.2kg (0.5lb)
50-500kg (110-1100lb), 0.5kg (1lb)
>500kg (1100lb), 2kg (5lb)
Livestock - 0-100kg (0-220lb), 1kg (2lb)
100-1000kg (220-2200lb), 2kg (5lb)
>1000kg (2200lb), 5kg (10lb)
Error Messages
The T10 has a very comprehensive self monitoring system that detects any problems
that may occur. Should such a problem be detected, an error message will be
displayed on the screen, for example ‘Er36’. Most error messages displayed concern
problems with the signal coming from the weigh bars or load cells. The signals from the
sensitive strain gauges are extremely small. A load bar that has its rated capacity
weight applied outputs less than 0.007 volts of signal.
Each load cell is sampled independently many times per second, which allows the T10
to continuously monitor any problems that could occur. One of these problems is an
overload condition. Any bar that is overloaded will be displayed, even if the overload
only lasts for a fraction of a second. This feature enables the user to minimize possible
damage and ensure a more reliable weight, as well as extending the useful life of the
scale.
If an error message is displayed, turn the indicator off, and closely inspect the cables
connecting the weigh bars or load cells. If there is a cut in the outer sheath, or a
squashed section of cable, it may have to be replaced.
