Installing the loadbars
To install the loadbars, follow these steps:
Note: Fit the loadbars as per the manufacturer's instructions.
1. Bolt the platform to the loadbars.
2. Ensure the platform is placed on a flat and level surface. Make sure it is
not touching any rails or gates.
3. Either bolt the loadbars to the concrete pad or locate them on studs set
into the concrete. This will prevent the platform from moving during the
weighing session.
4. Connect the loadbar cables to the Weigh Scale.
Note: If you are using non Gallagher, loadbars ensure the loadbars are correctly
calibrated.
Installing the Weigh Scale
The Weigh Scale can be placed on a table top or mounted on the Weigh
Scale bracket supplied.
Position the Weigh Scale:
-clear of the platform to ensure it does not interfere with the flow of
animals during the weighing cycle
-within easy reach of the loadbar leads
-within easy reach of the operator (for manual weighing), and
-in a well-lit area

POWER AND BATTERIES
During a weighing session, the Weigh Scale can be powered by its internal
battery alone or by its internal battery and either the battery charger or an
external 12 volt battery.
The battery charger connects between an AC outlet and the Weigh Scale.
If either the battery charger or an external 12 volt battery is connected to the
Weigh Scale, the Weigh Scale's internal battery will be charged while the
Weigh Scale is in use.
For optimum performance, switch off the Weigh Scale and charge its internal
battery for at least five hours. When fully charged, the internal battery on its
own will power the Weigh Scale continuously for a minimum of eight hours.
Charging the battery
The battery in the Weigh Scale can be recharged using either a battery
charger or an external 12 volt battery.
Recharging the battery will take up to five hours depending on the level of
charge already in the battery. The Weigh Scale can be in use or can be
switched off while the battery is being charged.
Using the battery charger
To charge the battery using the battery charger, follow these steps:
1. Connect the lead between the battery charger and the Weigh Scale.
2. Plug the battery charger into an AC outlet and switch on.
3. Open the Weigh Scale case and make sure the battery charge icon
on the main screen is flashing. This indicates that the battery is
charging and will be displayed whether the Weigh Scale is turned on or
off.
