Getting Started
Before using your new Model 1040 indicator:
• please verify that everything has been properly connected. See
Figures 3-6
• If you are mounting the indicator, see the next section: Mounting the
Model 1040.
• check the scale system to ensure proper units are set (lb, kg)
• verify the system is weighing properly.
Mounting the
Model 1040
The Model 1040 mounts on a quick-detach bracket. Weld or bolt the
quick-detach bracket into place, as follows:
1. Choose a mounting location that is
• convenient for operation of the indicator, and
• protected from moving parts or from other moving machinery.
2. Hold the indicator at the proposed mounting location, and verify that
the display is legible and the controls accessible.
3. Positioning the quick-detach bracket with the wider end at the top,
mark the desired mounting location. If bolting, use the quick-detach
bracket as a template and mark and drill holes.
4. Weld or bolt the quick-detach bracket at the appropriate location. If
bolting, use double nuts or self-locking nuts to protect both indicator
and machinery.
5. Insert the indicator bracket into the quick-detach bracket and push it
down into place.
6. For mobile applications, wrap and twist a strong wire around the
indicator bracket and the quick-detach bracket to stabilize the mounting.

Cable Connections and Power Requirements
Make sure all cables are connected as shown in Figures 3-6.
Voltage to the Model 1040 must be 10-17 volts DC, negative ground only. If
voltage is between 9-10 volts, LOW.BAT is displayed on the indicator.
Dropping below nine volts will cause the Model 1040 to automatically shut
itself off, protecting the battery from being completely drained.
If voltage is above 17 volts, HI VOLT flashes on the the display. After ten
seconds the unit displays SHT.DWN and turns off.
If voltage is below nine volts, LOW.BAT flashes on the the display. After ten
seconds the unit displays SHT.DWN and turns off.

when power is restored. If you want to exit the recipe process, press the
GROSS key. If you want to return to recipe process, press the SELECT key.
The indicator will return to where it was when power was lost. If you were in
the middle of loading an ingredient and don’t remember what ingredient it
was, press the LOAD/UNLOAD key to see the ingredient name.
All data entered will become one of the following:
• weight - All weight entered data will be rounded on a standard rounding
scheme to the nearest division size. (Example: If you enter 5002, and
the indicator is counting by 5’s, once the next key is pressed signifying
that it is weight, the display will show and record the entry as 5000).
• Time or Rotation entry
•Id
• Quick print number
• Recipe or Pen number
• Recipe entry (If entering a recipe, all data will be allowed down to 1 lb/
kg. Rounding will be implemented when actually batching or printing
recipes.
Anytime you enter data by mistake, the ZERO/CLEAR key will clear the data
entry display and you can re-enter the correct data.

ENTRY
When a recipe is programmed,
it remembers the mode the
indicator was in at the time of
recipe creation. This means
you can have some recipes
based on head counts and
some based on weight.
IMPORTANT: Make sure
the indicator is configured
properly before entering
recipes.
ENTRY stands for the recipe entry mode. The indicator can accept recipes
in several ways. Below are explanations for each mode and examples to
illustrate. See note at left.
1. WEIGHT>NORMAL mode
This is used for entering batches based on weight or by percent-
age if adding up to 100, 1000 or 10000.
2. WEIGHT>ADJUST mode
This is based on weight or by percentage, same as #1 above. The
difference is that after the first ingredient is loaded, the rest of the
ingredients will be adjusted accordingly depending on how far off
the first ingredient was from the target. This maintains a proper
ration balance.
3. HEAD.CT mode
This mode is based on entering recipes with weight amounts to
feed 100 head.
Example 1: Entering a recipe by net weight (WEIGHT>NORMAL mode or
WEIGHT>ADJUST mode)
Use this method when you have a recipe set up by weight for
each ingredient such as:
22
Model 1040/XL User’s Manual
4000 lb batch size
Ingredient 1 = 1000 lb corn
Ingredient 2 = 1230 lb hay
Ingredient 3 = 1450 lb silage
Ingredient 4 = 320 lb alfafa
total = 4000 lb
When this recipe is selected in the future, you can enter the
batch size you want and all ingredient amounts will be proportioned automatically.
Example 2: Entering a recipe by ingredient percentages
(WEIGHT>NORMAL mode or WEIGHT>ADJUST mode)
Use this method when you have a recipe set up by ingredient
percentages of a batch that adds up to 100, 1000, or 10000.
Enter the recipe by entering the percent of each individual
ingredient of the total batch so the total equals 100. Same
example as above would now be:
1. 2500 (represents 25.00% of corn)
2. 3075 (represents 30.75 % of hay)
3. 3625 (represents 36.25% of molass)
4. 800 (represents 8.00% of silage)
t 10000 (total % of all programmed ingredients)
Head count is limited to 999
head.
(Depending on how many digits are entered ex; 25.03 % can
be entered as 25, 250,or 2503 depending on accuracy. You
must make total add up to 100, 1000, or 10000.)
Example 3: Entering a recipe based on head count of animals (HEAD.CT
MODE). See note at left.
Use this when you want to mix a batch according to how
many animals can be fed. When you enter the recipe, the total
weight must add up to amount needed to feed 100 animals.
When you start a batch, type in the number of animals and
the total batch amount of the recipe will be automatically
calculated.

Recipes and Pens
The 1040 can be programmed with 100 batching recipes. It can also track
the unloading of a batched load into 100 pens. Recipes and pens can be
custom named for ease of record keeping. This section covers the things
you need to know about recipes and using the pen features.
Recipe Features
Choose a Recipe Entry
Mode
Each recipe can draw from a list of 100 ingredients. All ingredients and
recipes can be labeled with up to six (6) alphanumeric character.
Recipes have the following features:
1. All recipes are based on weight (net or percentage) or head counts. See
the next section for details.
2. All recipes use the programmable pre-alarm warning light. This is
configured in the configuration menu. 50 lb/kg is the default value.
3. All recipes can use auto-hold capabilities if enabled in the configuration
menu.
4. One recipe can use a maximum of 32 ingredients.
5. Ingredients can be programmed to be hand-adds. This means they are
small preweighed items that once loaded into the mixer are recorded as
the programmed amounts in the recipe.
6. Recipes can use the auto-mix timer count down feature after the last
ingredient has been loaded. This must be enabled in the configuration
menu.
You need to choose the recipe entry mode in the User Menu. Choose
Weight (normal or auto-adjust) or Head Count. See the User Menu section
for information on these choices.
When a recipe is programmed, the indicator remembers which recipe
entry mode the indicator was in at the time of recipe creation. This
means you can have some recipes based on head counts and some
based on weight, if desired.

The XM64
Transmitter/Receiver
The XM64 transmitter serves a variety of functions depending on the mode
the indicator is setup for. The STD configuration parameter sets the transmitter so it acts as follows:
1. If you are doing mixer loading (Load/Unload mode):
If you press and release the clicker, the indicator tares to 0.
If you hold the clicker down for more than a second, gross weight is
displayed as long as the clicker button is depressed.
If you hold the clicker button for more than three seconds, the unit
remains in the GROSS mode.
2. If the indicator is in recipe or pen mode:
Press the clicker to advance to the next ingredient. If the last ingredient
or pen is being displayed, it advances to the Gross mode.
If unit is set for AUTO-HOLD the XM64 needs to be pressed twice. If
not the XM64 only needs to be pressed once.

Troubleshooting
If you experience problems in the operation of your system, read through
these troubleshooting steps and perform those which are appropriate. This
information may help you to correct the following operational difficulties
without calling your supplier or sending your equipment in for repair:
• Power-on
• Indicator Over or Under Capacity
• Inaccurate Weight Readings
• Measuring the Supply Battery Voltage
Instructions for sending an indicator in for repair are provided in the last
section under Service Repairs.
Power-On
If your indicator does not power-on, check the following possible problem
sources in the order given. Attempt to power-on after trying each of these
four troubleshooting steps:
1. Check Battery Voltage. Required voltage is 10-17 volts DC negative
ground. If the voltage is between 9-10 volts, the indicator will display
LOW.BAT. The indicator will automatically turn off if the incoming
voltage drops below nine volts or rises above 17 volts.
2. Disconnect and Check Power Cable Connector at the vehicle or AC
to DC converter, clean if necessary, and reconnect.
3. Replace Fuse. Sometimes, a bad fuse can be recognized by an obvious
break in the wire filament. However, such a break is not always observable, and getting a successful power-on after changing a fuse is often
the only way of knowing that the fuse was indeed defective.
Make sure the new fuse is the proper size and has a current rating of
five amperes. Using a fuse with too high a current rating can cause
costly damage to the indicator and will void your warranty. The same is
true for substituting wire, a nail, or any other object in place of a fuse.
Place nothing in the fuse connector except a proper fuse.
Try to power-on after changing the fuse (see instructions below for
replacing the fuse).
To replace the fuse, remove the 12 front panel screws.
4. Test Indicator and Cables to isolate the source of the problem.
52
1. Flip front panel out.
2. Locate fuse in lower corner of main PC board.
3. Pull blown fuse out and replace.
4. Re-install and tighten the 12 front panel screws.
a. Disconnect all cables on bottom panel of Indicator except for power
cable. Do disconnect Weigh Bar
remote display cable, etc.
b. Now try powering-on. If this is not successful, your problem is in the
indicator and you should contact your supplier.
c. If you are able to power-on with only the power cable connected, your
problem is probably not in the indicator; continue troubleshooting.
Model 1040/XL User’s Manual
®
cables, and, if present, alarm cable
d. With power still on, plug in cables, one at a time — Weigh Bar
cables first, then alarm cable, then printer/remote display cable, etc.
— until plugging in one of the cables causes the indicator to shut off.
That cable is the bad one and needs to be repaired or replaced.
®
Indicator Over/Under
Capacity
An over-ranged indicator is represented by upper dashes or lower dashes.
®
1. Test the Weigh Bar
cables to isolate the source of the over-range
problem, as follows:
a. Disconnect all Weigh Bars
®
.
b. Try to zero the indicator by pressing GROSS and CLEAR.
• If you are unable to zero the indicator with the Weigh Bars® disconnected, the problem is in the indicator and you should contact your
supplier.
• If you are able to zero your indicator with the Weigh Bars® disconnected, then the problem is probably in the Weigh Bars® and you
should continue troubleshooting.
2. Reconnect all Weigh Bars®. You will see upper or lower dashes displayed again.
3. If your Weigh Bar®connectors have the four-pin configuration, disconnect one Weigh Bar® and connect an adapter plug in its place.
If your Weigh Bar® connectors have the five-pin configuration, disconnect one Weigh Bar®. No adapter plug is necessary.
4. Try to zero the indicator.
Repeat Steps 4 and 5 with each Weigh Bar® cable, making sure each
time that all cables are connected except the one you removed (for fivepin connector) or replaced with an adapter plug (for four-pin connector).
Inaccurate Weight
Readings
A defective Weigh Bar® may be easily recognized with this method —
when a defective bar is replaced with an adapter plug (for four-pin
connector), or removed (for five-pin connector), the indicator will
zero properly.
First: Visually Inspect The Scale System for apparent problems and
improper installation:
1. Check each cable, from source to indicator, for stress, cuts, breaks, or
abrasions.
2. Unplug and reconnect each connector at the indicator to verify that it is
tight and making good contact.
3. Check the hitch Weigh Bar® and verify that mounting bolts are tight and
the hitch is not binding.
4. Check between the wheels and frame of the implement for mud and
debris that might restrict Weigh Bar® movement.
5. Check betwccn supporting structure and weighing structure for debris
that might restrict Weigh Bar® movement.
6. Make sure the supporting structure and weighing structure do not touch
each other at any point except at the Weigh Bars®.
Model 1040/XL User’s Manual
53
Next: Compare Weight Readings for All Weigh Bars®:
Position a person or heavy object on the platform above each Weigh Bar®,
one bar at a time, and compare weight readings for the same person or
same object.
For each weighing, the weight itself will be off-center, favoring a single
Weigh Bar®; therefore, none of the readings will be accurate.
However, your readings obtained by weighing the same person or object
above each Weigh Bar® should be nearly identical to each other. A single
Weigh Bar® reading that is significantly different from the others is probably
defective.
