Weigh Methods
General - Weigh Method #1
The General weigh method is an all-purpose weigh method for weighing dead loads. It is
commonly used for weighing dead.
Slow - Weigh Method #2
The Slow weigh method attempts to provide higher accuracy by filtering many weight
samples over a longer period of time. Small, instantaneous weight changes have less effect
on the displayed weight using this technique. This method is for weighing dead loads.
Fast - Weigh Method #3
The Fast weigh method is more sensitive to weight changes than the other weigh methods.
When a weight changes quickly, the Fast method tries to determine the new weight as
quickly as possible. This method is for weighing dead loads.
Lock-on - Weigh Method #4
Set to “LOCKON” for animal weighing, this allows scale to weigh active animals and display
an accurate weight that does not fluctuate. Set to “OFF” for weighing dead weights. Lock-On
sensitivity can be adjusted using the “LOCKON” menu.
Once the actual weight is displayed, the scale “Locks-On” to the displayed. Weight does not
change, even if the motion never stops. A small ‘L’ appears on the left side of the display
indicating the weight is “Locked-On.” The animal’s weight must be greater than 2.5% of the
scales “capacity” weight before the system can “Lock-On.”
In order to break the lock, 50% of the displayed weight must be either added or removed
from the scale. The “Locked-On” weight can be “rechecked” by pressing the [ZERO] key on
the front panel. This breaks the “lock” and the scale recalculates the weight.
Note:
Setting the Weigh Method in the “Long Form” DOES NOT affect the Display Unit LB-
KG.
Note:
In Weigh Method #1, #2 and #3 the ZTRACK (zero-tracking) removes up to 0.05% of
the scale capacity (as shown in setup). In Weigh Method #4 the weight that can be removed
is set to 5lbs(2.2kg).
