7 Digital Indicator Connections USER S GUIDE 3 Digital Indicator Weigh Bar Cable Sockets RS-232 Port - Optional Printer - Optional PC Interface AC Adapter Socket with Cover Cap 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. POWER UP THE SCALE Press and hold the ON key located on the front of the digital indicator. NOTE Keep the indicator plugged in to 110 VAC unless operating with the battery. The indicator must be plugged in to 110 VAC for 18+ hours to fully charge 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.

8 4 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 It is important that the indicator be set up in a location that keeps the connected cables out of harm s way. IMPORTANT Be sure to follow the instructions on page 3 of this guide when connecting the weigh bar cables to the digital indicator. USER S GUIDE 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.

11 TROUBLE SHOOTING 7 Issue Low battery icon ( ) flashes. Recommendations Recharge the battery. Plug the indicator into 110 VAC for 18+ hours (using the included AC adapter). When not operating under battery power, it is recommended that the indicator remains plugged in to 110 VAC. This will keep a full charge in the battery.

Check weighing platform area for build up of mud or manure. Press the Zero key to zero out the scale. Weight reads out lower at one end of the weighing platform than the other end. 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 at weigh bar connection, etc. If damaged, the cable must be replaced.
