weight by 1 kg. For large adjustments to the displayed weight hold down the required
key.
6. When the displayed reading is the same as the bale weight, press no keys for 5
seconds. SAVE is displayed as the new calibration is stored in EEPROM.
7. Remove the bale from the press, the scales should return to zero.
Note: Having completed the span procedure the scales should be switched off then on and
checked to confirm accuracy.
11.5 Avoid Overweight Bales.
Heiniger recommends that bale weights are checked for accuracy by using another set of
scales, which are known to be accurate.
The woolpress must be used on a stable, level surface. Any movement in the floor will
affect the performance of the scales.
Keep obstructions free of the press, make sure there is no build up of wool around or
under the press.
Do not move the press halfway through a bale as the zero reference may not be the same.
Ensure scale is on zero each time before putting the pack in.
If you press the
ON/ZERO key when you already have the pack in, make sure you allow
2kg for the weight of the pack.
Bale weights.
Because of weight gains due to dampness or humidity, it is suggested to press bales only
to 190/195kg so that bales do not exceed 204kg.
11.6 Mechanical considerations.
The following are the requirements, which are necessary for the electronic scales to
perform as they are intended. These points can be causes of weighing problems. The zero
facility is provided to reset the zero although this should not normally be necessary.
➢
A firm, level floor surface is required
➢
Do not move the press around the floor during a bale as this will upset the zero
reference point. If moving is necessary, wait until that bale is completed.
➢
Begin and end the bales with the press in the same condition i.e. if the scale is on zero
and the press is ready to operate, (Door and hungry board closed, platen up etc.), the
scale will not zero until the press is in the same condition.
➢
Check that there is not a build up of wool around the base of the press as this will
restrict free movement.
➢
Check that the two bolts mounting the load cell are tight.
➢
Check that the press is level and lock nut on the load cell foot is tight.
➢
During operation the jockey wheel must be secured by the catch. The jockey wheel
brake foot must be clear of the floor. If not it will effect the scale operation causing
bale weights to be inaccurate.
➢
When moving the woolpress it is important that it has come to a complete stop before
lowering the weight of the woolpress onto the loadcell foot, otherwise damage may
occur to the loadcell and foot.
