The Digi-Star StockWeigh 500 indicator is designed to weigh livestock. The Lock-On feature
allows this scale to weigh active and restless animals within ±1% of actual weight. This
indicator can be connected to various load cell systems.
Getting Started
The following steps will allow you to get familiar with your new StockWeigh 500 indicator.
Installing StockWeigh 500 Indicator
Connecting Power
Connect power cord to the bottom panel power connector. Power can be obtained directly
from a 12VDC battery or from a 120VAC power cube that plugs into a wall outlet.
Note:
A small 12V deep cycle lead acid battery will provide many hours of operation for the
indicator.
WARNING:
Disconnect the indicator from the battery while recharging. Damage can
occur to the indicator.
Connecting Load Cells
The indicator is designed to operate with two or four, strain gage load cells. Cable extension
kits are available from your dealer in various lengths.
