Safety during use
SAFETY DURING USE
CAUTION
Check system before use
Before you are going to use the Digi-Star weighing system you need to check the proper working
of the system by charging all weighing points with a known weight.
Digi-Star cannot be held responsible for deviations and problems arising from incorrect use of the
weighing indicator, incorrect calibration or settings. Furthermore Digi-Star cannot be held
responsible for deviations and problems arising from technical problems to the system.
Cleaning
Do not use running water (high pressure cleaners, hoses) to clean the indicator.
Charging battery and welding
During welding you need to remove the weighing bars to avoid damaging. If this is not possible,
you need to place the “ground” clip as close to the welding point as possible, in order to avoid that
current can flow through the weighing bars.
Digi-Star cannot be held responsible for problems arising from welding or charging of the battery.

PROGRAMMING RECIPES
The ingredients in a recipe can be entered in three different ways:
1. Amount per animal (standard setting)
Enter the amount of ingredients in weight per animal. For example, 9 kg silage and 8 kg corn per
animal. Depending on the number of animals, the weighing indicator will calculate the total amount
of the ingredients automatically: For example, with 100 animals this will be 900 kg silage and 800
kg corn.
2. Percentage (%) per ingredient
Enter the amount of ingredient as a percentage (%). For example, 55% silage and 45% corn. The
weighing indicator will calculate the amount per ingredient automatically based on the total weight:
For example, with a total weight of 1000Kg this will be 550 kg silage and 450 kg corn. Attention;
the total must be 100%.
3. Amount per ingredient
Enter the required total amount per ingredient. For example, 2500 kg silage and 2000 kg corn.
Changing the programming method
[E-mthd]
1. Enter 441 and press .

Changing ingredient or pen name
The standard ingredient and pen names can be changed as required:
1. Repeatedly press , until RENAME is
displayed.
2. Press and hold for 3 seconds.
3. Press or to go to the ingredient/pen
you want to change.
