MANUAL WEIGHING
Overview
Manual mode is recommended for facilities that do not allow a smooth flow
of animals across the platform or where the animals are restless. This mode
allows the operator to decide when the measurement is made.
In Manual mode, the Weigh Scale starts weighing the animal after the
operator presses the green
Weigh
button. When the Weigh Scale has
determined an accurate weight, it will lock-on to the measurement and
display it on-screen. The weight will continue to display on-screen until the
green
Weigh
button is again pressed.
Using Manual Weighing
1.
Check that the mode select switch is set to
M
.
2.
Check that the weight displayed is zero and that the
icon is
displayed. If it is not, press the blue
Zero
button.
3.
Load the animal onto the platform. Ensure the animal is entirely
supported by the platform — no hooves on the ground — and that no
object is resting on the animal.
4.
Press the green
Weigh
button. After the Weigh Scale has determined
an accurate weight, it will lock on to the measurement and display it on-
screen.
When the Weigh Scale has locked on:
-
the measurement will remain on-screen;
-
the
Weight OK
light will glow;
-
OK
will display on the screen; and
-
the Weigh Scale will beep.
5.
If the weight has locked on and you want to re-weigh the animal, press
the green
Weigh
button. The Weigh Scale will again weigh the animal
and lock on to the measurement.
6.
Write down the weight of the animal if desired.
7.
Move the animal off the platform. The measurement will continue to
display on-screen.
8.
The Weigh Scale will attempt to compensate for any accumulation of
mud or dung left on the platform. If it is successful, the
icon will
display.
If the zero icon does not display, press the blue
Zero
button.
9.
Load the next animal onto the platform.
