Zero tracking
As animals pass over the weighing platform, an accumulation of mud and
dung may build up on the platform. The Weigh Scale can compensate for
the weight of this accumulation by subtracting it from the total weight. The
automatic subtraction of the residual weight from the total weight is called
zero tracking.
Zero tracking ensures that the Weigh Scale captures the animal's weight and
not the mess left on the platform.
Automatic and manual modes
In the Automatic and Manual weighing modes, zero tracking is automatically
implemented if, after the animal leaves the weighing platform, the residual
weight is within a defined zero tracking range.
•
If the residual weight is within the defined range, the
icon
displays.
•
If the residual weight is outside the defined range, the icon does not
display.
To manually compensate for the residue, press the blue zero button. The
icon displays.
During a weighing session, if the Weigh Scale consistently does not restore to
zero, check that there are no obstructions under or around the platform.
