Th

e indicator records up to 16,000 records in up to 99 files.

The recorded data consists of the EID, Weight, Weight Gain, Date
and Time. Optional recorded data includes VID, PID, 3 condition
codes and 2 health modes.

The scale requires an EID number or VID number to record with the
weight. If an EID scanner is not used a VID can be entered using
the keypad.

Turn on using the ON/OFF key.

Select the weigh mode (lock-on), record mode (manual record),
algorithm mode (10lb start or 20lb start for livestock) and
load bar settings from the setup menu. Turn auto zero on.

BAR ERROR displays when no load bars are detected.

When in record mode, select an existing file from the file list or
create a new file.

In manual record, when the animal stands on the platform, scan the
EID tag or enter the VID number. Use the left or right direction keys to
select VID, PID and codes 1 to 3 if you wish to enter data in these
fields. When the weight is locked on and all data is entered, press the
record key.

In auto record, when the animal stands on the platform, scan the
EID tag. Release the animal after the weight has locked on and the
scale will automatically record the data as the animal leaves the
platform. If data is entered using the keypad while in auto record,
i.e entering a VID, PID, or codes, the scale resorts to manual record
for that animal and the record key needs to be pressed.

The RECALL key recalls the last weight.

The REWEIGH key reweighs the animal without changing the EID and
other data.

The CLEAR key clears all data from the screen.

In the STATS screen use the SELECT key to select which column to sort.
Use the BACKSPACE key to change the sort direction.

In the WEIGH screen you can change draft direction by using the
direction keys to highlight DRAFT and then using the SPACE key to
change the draft direction.

The indicator can record data when no loadbars are connected.
