Tips
To improve weighing accuracy ensure:
The animal isn't handled during weighing.
The operator isn't touching the chute.
The chute isn't touching another animal or part of the race.
The loadbars and underside of platform are free from dirt.
The indicator will auto zero when the animal leaves the platform.
Ensure that the chute is free during this time.
Always zero after clearing or moving the platform.
Back up the indicator files to computer using the Horizon Browser.
Take a record of the loadbar settings after auto calibration and any
other specific settings.
In auto VID start, enter the starting VID as 0001 rather than 1.
If an EID is recorded twice in 24 hours, it is classed as a duplicate EID
and the indicator will display a warning box.
In data only mode (no loadbars connected) previous weight and
weight gain are displayed as 0.
If a file name is changed, the new file needs to be selected for the
indicator to record to.
To edit the last record, press recall, change the data and press record.
Turn the coms power off if not in use.
The ID mode NO ID QUICK WEIGH is useful for quickly drafting or
collecting statistics on a group of animals.
