Returns indicator to live weight
display. Press to re-weigh if animal
is not fully on the platform when
stable light shows.
Sets automatic zeroing on/off.
The indicator will zero on power
up or when there is no load on the
platform. This zeroes the platform
to compensate for any build up
of dirt (up to 3 kg/6 lb) during
weighing. In some situations this
feature should be turned off.
Two common examples are:
1. To avoid accidental zeroing of
the user’s hand pressure on the
entry gate.
2. To avoid zeroing a bale left in
a wool press when the indicator
is turned off and then on again
later.

INTERNAl
BATTERY
oPTIoN
SPECIFICATIoNS
The internal battery charger operates from either the recommended Tru-Test power adaptor or a 12 volt
vehicle battery. Damage to the indicator caused by other charging supplies, including automotive
battery chargers, is not covered by the warranty.
The indicator displays about 10 minutes before flat, if the battery was fully charged within
the last 2 weeks. Charge the indicator for 12 hours before using it for the first time.
To maximise battery life, observe the following simple guidelines:
• Preferably recharge the battery overnight.
• Never charge the indicator in direct sunlight.
• Store the indicator in a cool dry place.
The internal battery charger ensures maximum life of the battery, while giving the fastest charging
rate possible. The battery is protected from overcharging. Charging a flat battery takes 6 hours at
temperatures of 10 to 35 ºC (50 to 95 ºF).
You can safely leave the indicator on charge all the time. The scale can be used while charging. You do
not need to charge before storage.
Charging at low or high temperatures could extend the charging time to 12 hours. At extreme
temperatures the indicator will not charge.
Fully charge the indicator after storage.
Cleaning:
Clean only with warm water and soap, other cleaners may damage the case.
Note: product specifications may change without prior notice.
