1 Introduction
With the WeighTech MicroWeigh a combination of state-of-the-art technology with
common down-to-earth basics creates a digital indicator that makes troubleshooting and
actual maintenance repair so simple that anyone can be trained to make repairs on this
indicator in just minutes.

2 Keypad Operation
The WeighTech MicroWeigh keypad is a watertight sealed touch sensitive sensor. The
keys are actually sensitive to contact area, not force. Press lightly with the ball of your
fingertip as though you were giving fingerprints. Best results come from using the
ball of your finger, not the very tip. Most objects will not trigger the keypad–knives,
screwdrivers, tools, etc. do not have enough surface area in contact with the key to
register as a keypress. (You might get it to trigger with a medium sized conductive bolt
head, if you have skin in contact with the bolt.)
One consequence of the design of the touch sensitive keypad is that it is sensitive
to water streams. For this reason, WeighTech includes a unique “washdown mode” to
prevent unwanted keypad activity during washdown/sanitation/cleanup intervals. When
the indicator is in washdown mode, the indicator will weigh normally but the keypad is
locked out.
