1.Introduction
The agWEIGHr range of instrumentation is optimised for
stock handling operations using the latest Sigma-Delta A/D
technology to ensure fast and accurate weight readings.
1.1. Approvals
•C-tick approved and CE approved.

Operator Manual 1.00
AGWR-600-110 Page 5
1.2. Features
Auto Ranging
The superior weighing performance of this technology
allows the scale to auto range to automatically facilitate
fine precision weighing of small items. For example on a
set of 2 tonne weigh beams designed to take 300%
overload it is possible to weigh at a precision of 50g
below 25kg.
Enhanced liveweight algorithms allow fast and accurate
measurement of live animals.
SESSIONS:
Three band drafting combined with session and draft
statistics including total, average and number of animals
can be monitored.

2.Safety
2.1. Operating Environment
•Operating Temperature: –10°C to 50°C
•Humidity: <90% non-condensing
•Operating Voltage: 12VDC (11-15VDC)
2.2. Electrical Safety
•For your protection all mains electrical hardware must be
rated to the environmental conditions of use.
•Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily
accessible power socket outlet.
•To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the
instrument, always switch off or isolate the instrument
from the power supply before maintenance is carried out.
2.3. Cleaning
•To maintain the instrument, never use harsh abrasive
cleaners or solvents. Wipe the instrument with a soft
cloth slightly dampened with warm soapy water.

3.2. Operation Keys
Key
Description
POWER: The <POWER> key is used to turn the
instrument on and off.
•ON: Press and hold the <POWER> key until
the display starts up.
•OFF: Press and hold the <POWER> key for
three seconds. The instrument will display OFF
followed by the three-second countdown.
•Battery Operation: When using batteries the
backlight may automatically turn off to conserve
power after a short period of inactivity. A short
press of the <POWER> key will turn the
backlight on again.
•Automatic On: The <POWER> key has a
memory function associated with it. This
means that the state of the power setting is
remembered even if external power is
interrupted. It is therefore possible to turn the
instrument on in the safe knowledge that it will
operate whenever external power is available
and will not need to be manually turned on
again if the power is interrupted.

Key
Description
ZERO: The <ZERO> key is used to perform a
Zero adjustment on the scale display when an
empty scale has drifted away from a true zero
reading.
•The Zero adjustment is stored when power is
removed and is re-used when next powered up.
•If the weight remains unstable for longer than
10 seconds, the Zero operation is cancelled
and the STABLE ERROR message is
displayed.
•Long Press: A long press of the <ZERO> key
will remove any stored zero adjustment.
SESSION: Use the <SESSION> key to step
through current session statistics including total,
average and number of animals in the session
•Long Press: A long press of the
<SESSION> key will end the current session
and start a new session.
DRAFT: If drafting in this session, use the
<DRAFT> key to step through the current drafting
statistics including total, average ad number of
animals in the session for each draft band.
•Long Press: A long press of the <DRAFT>
key will allow you to change instrument
settings including:
TARGET: Draft Targets
SETUP: configure instrument settings
CLOC: set date and time
CAL: calibrate instrument
TEST : mV/V reading of the scale for testing

Key
Description
WEIGH: The <WEIGH> key will trigger the
acquisition of an animal weight using the
liveweight alogorithm.
In AUTO mode the first animal weight is
automatically gathered so it is not necessary to
press the WEIGH key unless you want to re-
acquire a new weight for the animal.
This is sometimes required if the introduction of
the animal to the scale has been disrupted during
the weighing process or if the animal is distressed
and jumping about on the scale which can impact
weighing accuracy.
•Long Press: A long press of the <WEIGH> key
will UNDO the last animal weight log. This
cancels the last transaction from the session
log and from all of the statistics.
If drafting the LOW output is activated for exit
of the animal.
Units: The <units> key toggles the instrument
units between pounds and kilograms.
Note that both units are captured in the session
log so it doesn't matter what units are displayed
during operation.
•Long Press: A long press of the <units> key
toggles operating modes between AUTO and
MANUAL.
