System Overview
The TRU-TEST 700 Series is an advanced and versatile
agricultural weighing system. It has been designed with the
benefit of many years of animal weighing experience and is
used by farm management professionals and agricultural
scientists the world over.
The system consists of a microprocessor controlled Indicator
(keyboard / display unit) and one or more Loadbars or
Suspension Cells. The Loadbars are fitted beneath a platform
or crate that holds the animal, and the weight is transmitted
from the Loadbars to the Indicator. The Indicator gives a
digital readout of the weight and, through the keypad, provides
control over the processing capabilities of the scale.
Weight statistics can be recorded for later analysis.
In the more advanced Models, 702 and 703, weight data is
recorded and retained in the Indicators memory and can be
output to a printer at any stage during or after weighing.
Comprehensive reports including weights, tag numbers,
condition codes and statistics can be printed. The data can be
directly transferred to a computer via a cable for permanent
storage and further analysis.
Calibration
On power up, the Indicator automatically identifies and
calibrates itself to the Loadbars connected to it. The latest
Indicators operate with the complete range of TRU-TEST
Loadbars, Suspension Cells or Produce Platforms. This is
known as Standard Calibration.
There is no need for the operator to calibrate the Indicator when
starting up or even when swapping from one set of TRU-TEST
Loadbars to another. Standard Calibration eliminates the need
for time consuming calibration using test weights.
