Triner Scale AWB40-5K - Manual (Page 8)

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.
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.
