Start Threshold

The Start Threshold appears in the menu tree only when Auto Start is Enabled. It defines the scale weight value above which the averaging process will begin after stability is reached.

Valid settings are from 0 to the full scale capacity. This value should be relatively high

– for example, 80% of the estimated weight of all animals on the scale. A very low number may cause the sampling period to start before all the animals are on the scale.

Auto Print

This Auto Print setting overrides the basic weighing Auto Print function, configured in setup at Scale > Log or Print

> Automatic when operating within the application.

When Auto Print is enabled, the processed weight value is displayed for the amount of time defined by the Print

Delay setting, and then a transaction print is automatically triggered.

This feature can be Enabled or Disabled. By default, it is Disabled.

Print Delay

Print Delay is only shown in the menu tree when Auto Print is enabled. It determines the delay between completion of the transaction and triggering the transaction print.

Valid settings are from 0 to 10 seconds in 1 second increments. The default value is 5.

4.2.4 Operating Sequence

The following sections describe the two modes of operation of the animal weighing application:

Mode 1 Determines the average total weight of a single animal or multiple

Mode 2 animals

Determines the average total weight of multiple animals, and calculates the average weight per animal

Mode 1 Operation

Begin with the scale empty and the terminal in the Animal Weighing application.

The display will prompt either Press ENTER to start. In normal operation or if Auto Start is enabled, the system will prompt Add weight > xxx (i.e., greater than xxx), where xxx is the programmed threshold weight.

Press ZERO to capture an accurate zero reference.

If required, a transactional ID may be entered via the ID key

Line 2 at the bottom of the display.

. If programmed in setup, the ID will be shown on

Add the desired number of animals to the scale and then press the ENTER key

to start the weighing cycle. If

Auto Start is enabled, the cycle will start automatically when the weight on the scale exceeds the programmed threshold and there is no-motion on the scale.
