INTRODUCTION
Thank
you
for
purchasing
a
Gallagher
load
bar
set.
Gallagher
has
been
making
agricultural
weighing
equipment
for
over
20
years
and
in
that
time
have
earned
a
reputation
for
quality
equipment
that
withstands
tough
agricultural
conditions.
The
Gallagher
range
of
weighing
systems
is
simple,
tough,
innovative
and
reliable.
All
of
the
Scales
in
the
Gallagher
range
can
be
matched
to
a
choice
of
load
bars,
as
well
as
a
range
of
platforms
and
crates
to
make
an
accurate
and
reliable
weighing
system.
Although
designed
specifically
for
agriculture,
the
Gallagher
range
is
also
suited
to
many
industrial
applications.
Gallagher
WeighScale
and
Load
bars
are
not
certified
for
trade
use.
SELECTING
A
LOCATION
Careful
preparation
of
the
site
is
essential
if
accurate
weighing
is
to
result.
You
need
to
decide
where
both
the
Scale
and
load
bars
will
be
set
up.
For
Wired
Load
Bars:
The
maximum
distance
separating
the
load
bars
and
Scale
will
be
determined
by
the
length
of
the
load
bar
cables.
Choose
a
route
for
the
cables
that
ensures
they
will
not
be
subjected
to
mechanical
damage.
For
Wireless
Load
Bars:
The
load
bars
can
be
situated
up
to
10
metres
from
where
the
Scale
will
be
operated.
This
distance
will
depend
on
whether
there
is
a
clear
signal
path
between
the
load
bars,
and
the
Scale
or
mobile
device,
for
uninterrupted
connectivity.
Important:
This
product
is
not
suitable
for
use
in
harsh
or
corrosive
environments
(e.g.
piggery
installations
or
similar).
Locating
the
Scale
Keep
the
following
points
in
mind
when
choosing
a
place
for
the
Scale.
Do
not
mount
the
Scale
on
the
crate.
Ensure
the
Scale
and
its
operator
do
not
interfere
with
the
flow
of
animals.
Ensure
that
there
is
adequate
light
to
read
the
Scale's
screen.
If
you
expect
to
weigh
manually,
keep
the
Scale
close
enough
to
the
crate
so
that
the
crate's
barrier
controls
can
be
easily
reached.
