SAFETY D RING SE
Caution
Check system before use
Before you are going to use the Digi-Star weighing system you need to check the proper working
of the system by charging all weighing points with a known weight.
Digi-Star cannot be held responsible for deviations and problems arising from incorrect use of the
weighing indicator, incorrect calibration or settings. Furthermore Digi-Star cannot be held
responsible for deviations and problems arising from technical problems to the system.
Cleaning
Do not use running water (high pressure cleaners, hoses) to clean the indicator.
Charging battery and welding
During welding you need to remove the weighing bars to avoid damaging. If this is not possible,
you need to place the “ground” clip as close to the welding point as possible, in order to avoid that
current can flow through the weighing bars.
Digi-Star cannot be held responsible for problems arising from welding or charging of the battery.

and 800 kg corn.
2. Percentage (%) per ingredient
Enter the amount of ingredient per recipe as a percentage (%). For example, 55% silage and 45%
corn. The weighing indicator will calculate the total amount to be prepared per ingredient: For
example, with a total weight of 1000Kg this will be 550 kg silage and 450 kg corn. Attention; the
total must be 100%.
3. Amount per ingredient
Enter the required total amount of ingredient per recipe. For example, 2500 kg silage and 2000 kg
