Leveling Feet
The WB-24 weigh bars feature adjustable feet at each
end of the bar. This enables side to side and front to
back adjustment when setting up the system.
NOTE
Be sure that the feet are not screwed all the way
into the bar, as this will result in inaccurate
weighing.

When the cables are disconnected from the weigh
bars, be sure to replace the protective cover caps to
cover the weigh bar cable sockets.

The cables have quick-connect plugs for connecting
to the weigh bars and digital indicator.
CAUTION
The following situations can result in damage to
the cables, connections, and/or digital indicator:
• Animals stepping on or pulling cables
• Animals biting cables
• Workers stepping on or pulling cables
• Equipment dropping on cables.
Arrange the cables in a way as to avoid these
types of situations and resulting damages to the
system.

Connect & Test the Components
Before fully installing the scale, test the system to assure
that no damage occurred during shipping.
CONNECT THE COMPONENTS
1) Place all the components near to each other. Place the
weigh bars close together so that weight can be placed
on both bars at the same time.
2) Connect the AC adapter jack to the digital indicator,
then plug into a 110 VAC outlet.
3) Connect the weigh bar cables to the weigh bars.
4) Connect the weigh bar cables to the digital indicator.
The cables can be connected to either of the two sockets.

the battery.
TEST THE SCALE
With the bars close together, stand on both bars and
confirm that the weight displayed is accurate.
Stand on each bar individually and confirm that the weight
displayed is accurate.
After testing, disconnect the system and proceed with
installation in the desired location.

USER’S GUIDE
Setting Up the Weigh Bars
FOUNDATION
The weigh bars require a flat, solid foundation on
which to sit. Typically, a concrete pad is preferable.
ALLEYWAY APPLICATIONS
Be sure that no equipment or objects prevent
downward movement of the weigh bars.
Do not drop equipment on the load bars, as this may
damage the load cells.
1) Place the weigh bars in the desired location.
2) Bolt the aluminum alleyway/platform to the weigh
bars.
3) Adjust the levelling feet as needed, making sure
that the set up is stable, and does not rock from corner
to corner.
4) If desired, anchor the weigh bar feet to the
flooring/concrete pad.
CAUTION
Never weld any installation attached to the load
!
bars. Damage to the scale’s electronics can result.
WEIGH BAR CABLES
It is important to route the weigh bar cables in a way
that protects them from damage, and from being
pulled accidentally by animals or workers.
Care should be taken to assure that there is slack in
the cables where connections are made to the digital
indicator.
Setting Up the Digital Indicator
The indicator should be secured by bolting the
mounting bracket to a post or panel. It should not be
located near the ground where it can be kicked by an
animal or worker.
Using the Scale
110 VAC POWER
When not operating on battery power, it is
recommended that the indicator be plugged into
110 VAC to maintain a full charge in the battery.
NOTE
Avoid connecting to 110 VAC with an overly long
extension cord, as it will result in inconsistent
voltage to the scale.
BATTERY OPERATION
The built in rechargeable battery will provide 20+
hours of continuous operation when fully charged.
The battery must be charged for 18+ hours in order
to be fully charged.
AUTO OFF
To conserve power, the digital indicator automatically
powers off after 10 minutes of non-use.
AUTOMATIC ZEROING
The scale will automatically zero out any weight that
is on the weigh bars when the scale powers on.
AUTOMATIC ANIMAL WEIGHT HOLD
By factory default, the Hold feature on the TS-700 WB
indicator is set for animal weight hold.
NOTE
See the “Keypad Keys and Functions” section on
page 1 for additional information on the scale’s
operation.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care should be taken to remove any obstructions that
may prevent downward movement of the weigh bars,
such as rocks, accumulated dirt, or even ice build up.
If necessary, the scale can be cleaned using gently
flowing water and mild soap.
NOTE
Do not pressure wash the weigh bars or digital
indicator, as doing so can damage the scale’s
electronics.
NOTE
Never expose an uncovered electrical connection
to water, as doing so can damage the scale’s
electronics.
During periods of non-use, the indicator should be
kept in a cool, dry location. If necessary, detach the
indicator from the weigh bars and move it to such a
location. Place protective cover caps over the weigh
bar cable connector sockets.

Indicator displays a weight after the animal
has left the scale.
Weight reads out lower at one end of the
weighing platform than the other end.
Indicator displays six small “u” characters. Scale is overloaded. Remove weight from scale.
Indicator displays six small “n” characters. Scale is underloaded. Power off, then power on the scale.
Displayed weight continually drifts. Inspect the weigh bar cables for damage, such as flat spot(s),
Check for mechanical binding in the overall equipment set up,
such as restraining chains on squeeze chute, platform rubbing
against walls, or similar.
Check weighing platform area for build up of mud or manure.
Press the Zero key to zero out the scale.
Check for any type of mechanical binding or impingement of the
weigh bar that is displaying the lower weight. Check underneath
the weigh bar for any obstructions. Make sure that the weigh bar
feet are not screwed in so far as to restrict downward movement
of the weigh bar.
Inspect the weigh bar cables for damage, such as flat spot(s),
split outer sheath, sharp kinks, looseness of cable connections,
etc. If damaged, the cable must be replaced.
