INSTALLATION
Planning the Installation
During the planning of your DairyScale installation, you need to determine the
location and installation requirements for the following components:
1. Power Supply
Provides the 12V supply to the Scale and Panel Reader.
2. Purpose built Chicane
The Chicane is designed to slow and separate the animals so that the
weighing events can occur at the optimal time spacing.
3. Panel Reader
This automatically reads the Electronic ID tag attached to the animal and
passes that information onto the Scale to be stored with the weight.
4. Weighing Platform set
Composed of two platforms, Lead ‐ on and Main.
5. Scale head
The Scale stores all collected data. The data in the Scale can be downloaded
from the Scale onto a computer.
The Scale can also produce a real time output of EID number and valid
weight as each animal is weighed.
Installation considerations
While planning the installation, take the following into consideration:

Cows should be weighed after milking.

The Panel Reader needs to be mounted so it can reliably read the herd's
Electronic ID tags as they walk over the Weighing Platform set. Take care to
ensure the Panel Reader can not read the Electronic ID tags of animals
passing nearby.

Consider the drainage requirements around the Weighing Platform set as
this needs to be hosed down regularly.

The concrete under the Weighing Platform set should be as level as possible.

The Lead ‐ on platform should be located as close as possible to the exit of
the Chicane.

The leading edge of the Panel Reader antenna must be mounted 1100 mm
from the leading edge of the Main platform.

Nothing should delay the animal from exiting the Main platform.
