1.0 INTRODUCTION
 The AGF Floor Scale provides the user with the electronics necessary to
build an accurate, fast, versatile weighing system.
 Functions include, weighing, check weighing, parts counting, animal
weighing and percent weighing.
 The system includes automatic zero tracking, audible alarm for check-
weighing, semi-automatic tare and an accumulation facility that allows
individual weights or counts to be stored and the total recalled.
 The scales have a bi-directional RS-232 interface for communicating with
a PC or printer.
 RS-232 outputs include Real time Clock, English, German, French, Spanish,
Italian or Portuguese language text and data required for GLP reports.
 The indicator can be used with 1- to 4 load cell platforms.
 Internal rechargeable battery and IP-67 rated enclosure allow for a fully
portable and rigged weighing system.

3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 LOCATING THE SCALE
 The scale should not be placed in a location that will
reduce the accuracy.
 Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct
sunlight or near air conditioning vents.
 Avoid unsuitable tables or surfaces.
 Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large
users of electricity such as welding equipment or
large motors.
 Do not place near vibrating machinery.
 Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening
doors. Do not place near open windows or air-
conditioning vents.
 Keep the scale clean. Do not stack material on the
indicator when not in use.

4.0 KEY DESCRIPTIONS
[Tare/↵]
Sets the zero point for all subsequent weighing. The display shows zero.
Tares the scale. Stores the weight currently on the scale as tare value, subtracts
the tare value from the gross weight and shows the results.
A secondary function, is of “Enter” key used when setting up the value for the
Parameters.
[CHK/PRINT/⭡] CHK: Selects checkweighing. Used to set the Low/High weight limits while
checkweighing.
PRINT: Sends the results to a PC or a Printer using the RS-232 interface. It also
adds the value to the accumulation memory if the accumulation function is not
automatic.
⭡: Up directional button for scrolling. Also used for incrementing the active digit
when setting a value for Parameters.
[Disp/Mode/⭢]
Selects the weighing unit to be displayed from those which are enabled. See
parameter rS1 in section 7.2.
A secondary function, ⭢ is to move the active/flashing digit to the right when
setting values for Parameters.
[Func/Set/⭣]
Selects the Functions of the scale. If the scale is weighing, it will select parts
counting. If it is not in weighing mode, it will return the user to weighing.
A secondary function (SET) will bring up the settings menu. Also used to set
values used for parameters
[0/Esc] Used to zero the scale.
A secondary function (ESC) is to return to normal operation when the scale is in a
Parameter setting mode.
/ ST/ CE] To switch on and switch off the scale.
ST: Secondary function allows the user to store/ recall checkweighing limits.


5.0 DISPLAYS
The LCD display will show a value and a unit to the right of the digits.
In addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below or above check-
weighing limits.
Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET) the scale is at zero and
stable, if a value has been stored in memory or when the animal weighing function has
been enabled. A battery symbols will show the state of charge of the internal battery.
6.0 OPERATION
6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY
 You can press the [0/Esc] key at any time to set the zero point. This will
usually be necessary when the platform is empty. You can only zero off a
weight up to a maximum of 20% of the scale capacity. When the zero point is
obtained the display will show an indicator for zero.
 The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting
or accumulation of material on the platform. However you may need to press
the [0/Esc] key to re-zero the indicator if small amounts of weight are
shown when the platform is empty.
