Lock-on Weigh Method #4
Weighing active animals and displays stable accurate weight. Set to “OFF” for weighing stable weights. Lock-On sensitivity can be adjusted using “LOCKON” menu.
Once weight displayed, scale “Locks-On” to weight. Weight does not change, even if motion never stops. Small ‘L’ appears on left side of the display indicating weight “Locked-On.” Animal’s weight must be greater than 2.5% of scales “capacity” weight before system “Lock-On.”
Break lock, 50% of displayed weight added or removed from scale. “Locked-On” weight can be “rechecked” by pressing . This breaks “lock” and scale recalculates weight.

SHORT FORM CALIBRATION
Short Form Setup & Calibration procedure allows changing “SETUP” and “CAL” numbers of indicator.
Setup Number
The “SETUP” numbers affects some parameters that also appear in Long Form Calibration. Following is a list of functions controlled by “SETUP” number:
Weigh Method (W MTHD) Display Units (LB-KG) Display Counts (COUNT) Gain Scale Capacity
Calibration Number
The “CAL” number adjusted to make scale read proper weight for different load cells and to make accuracy adjustments on scale system. If a StockWeigh indicator provided with StockWeigh load cells as a package, calibration number adjusted at factory for maximum accuracy. Systems that are assembled from separate components are given “STANDARD SETUP AND CALIBRATION NUMBERS” and are not factory calibrated. These systems should be checked and adjusted if necessary using known weights to insure accuracy. See “Calibrating the Scale for Maximum Accuracy” below.
List of Standard Setup and Calibration numbers for StockWeigh 3300, 6600, 10000 and 14000 load cells shown below. If not using StockWeigh load cells, contact Digi-Star Tech Support at 920-563-9700 for setup and calibration information:

Calibrating Scale for Maximum Accuracy
First write down current SETUP and CAL numbers of indicator. These numbers are displayed during self test. To run self test with indicator already ON, press “On”. Press “On” pauses self test while numbers displayed. Press “On” again to resume.
SETUP # _______________ CAL # ________________
A large amount of known weight needed to calibrate scale. For best results have at least as much weight as largest load to weigh.
Determining New Setup and Calibration Numbers. Zero-Balance scale so display reads zero. Put KNOWN WEIGHT on scale platform and write down WEIGHT
DISPLAY. Perform the following equation to find ACCURATE CAL #.
KNOWN WEIGHT WEIGHT DISPLAY
Example: The KNOWN WEIGHT 1000lbs, but WEIGHT DISPLAY 950lbs. The
EXISTING CAL # is 776. 1000 950 817 is the ACCURATE CAL #. The setup number does not change.
X 776 = 817
X EXISTING CAL # = ACCURATE CAL #

Capacity Limit: Display shows message "OVRCAP" if weight on scale system exceeds
capacity limit. Capacity value entered in SETUP to warn of overloading scale system.
+RANGE
Over Range: Display show message "+RANGE" if weight on scale system exceeds
maximum weight measurable by scale system. Over range value always system’s maximum A/D counts multiplied by scaling factor. Actual weight at which over range occurs depends on calibration, zero, and display count size.
-RANGE
Under Range: Display shows message "-RANGE" if weight on scale system less than
minimum weight measurable by scale system. Under range value always system’s minimum A/D counts multiplied by scaling factor. Actual weight at which under-range occurs depends on calibration, zero, and display count size.

Does the Indicator respond when
you step on the scale?
YES
Does the scale weigh you
close to your weight?
YES
Check for debris around
and under the platform
and load cells. Check for
warped or damaged mounts on platform.
Disconnect the load cell cable from the Indicator.
Press the Indicator “TARE” key. (The Indicator
display should go to zero). Stand on the load cell.
Does it display a reading about twice your weight?
YES
This Load Cell is OK.
Disconnect the first load cell
and connect the other load cell to the same connector. Now stand over the second
load cell. Does it weigh twice
your weight?
YES
Connect the load cell to the
Indicator. Stand on the load

The load cell is defective.
Check its cables for cuts or

Does the indicator come on?
Check for 12 VCD at the AC/DC convertor power cord. If you
do not have a multimeter, use a car battery to power the
scale. If the Indicator still does not come on, send in for repair.
The other load cell is
defective. Check its cable
for cuts or flattened areas or
send it back for repair.
Check the defective load

Indicator and verifying that it
does not weigh.

NO
Do both load cells weigh you
about the same but not within
20% of twice your weight?
YES
NO
Disconnect one of the load cells and stand over
the connected load cell. Does the indicator display a reading about twice your weight?
YES
Disconnect the first load cell and connect the other load cell to the
same connector on the Indicator.
Does the Indicator display a
reading about half your weight?
NO
YES
The other load cell is defective.
Check its cables for cuts or flattened
areas or send it back for repair.
Perform the paper test. Take two paper clips and
carefully insert one into pin 2 and the other into
pin 3 of either load cell connector jack on the
Indicator. Hold one paper clip in each hand (if
they touch it will not damage the Indicator). Does
the reading on the Indicator jump around?
YES
NO
Both load cells are defective.
The Indicator is probably
OK. Check the cables for
damage and send both load
cells in for repair.
The Indicator is defective. Send it in for
repair. Note: Load cells may also be
defective. Check the load cells by
attaching to a good work in Indicator.
NO
One of the Load Cells is Bad. A
good load cell will weigh you at
about twice your weight with only
one load cell connected.
