The pin must be aligned in the same orientation with the bow as it was when calibrated. • The BroadWeigh shackle is designed to only fit together in one orientation. The ABS enclosure should be • on the opposite side to the ID marking on the shackle bow.

If using the shackle as part of a bridle, remember that the load in legs of the bridle will increase with the angle. If the BroadWeigh shackle pin is not connected to that part of the leg then it will not register this increase.

Please remember that BroadWeigh does not give advice as to how the data from BroadWeigh shackles is used. All lifting operations are different and must be supervised by suitably qualified and experienced riggers. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure conformity with local regulations and legislation.
Inspection and Maintenance As with all rigging equipment, BroadWeigh shackles and TwistLinks should be inspected before and after every use, ensuring that all the components are present and correct (bow, pin, bobbin or TwistLink, nut and r clip) and the serial numbers match. All load bearing components must be free from cuts, nicks, cracks, gouges or excessive wear and distortion.
It is a good idea to note down all the shackles’ data tags and IDs and where they are located within the rig plot. This is crucial for identifying which loads are being measured and where. The ID will be needed to soft pair. BroadWeigh Handheld Display Mantracourt Electronics Limited...

To summarise, select the number of display channels required, assign Data Tags to the expression section (ensuring that they are enclosed in triangular brackets, <FF69>) and change any other parameters as necessary. The triangular brackets allow the expression field to identify the Data Tag for what it is. Mantracourt Electronics Limited BroadWeigh Original Instructions...
More detailed information on the BroadWeigh Toolkit is available in the main user manual at www.broadweigh.com/support. Install the BroadWeigh Toolkit by inserting the CD or USB stick and following the instructions. Then connect the USB base station and launch the software.

Pairing This is the system used for configuring the BroadWeigh devices. First, remove one of the batteries. Then, click the ‘Pair’ button (on the home screen) and firmly re-connect the power to the device. This makes a very reliable link without needing to know the device’s Data Tag or radio channel.
Be aware that the base station can only be set to one radio channel. Therefore you cannot log data and pair devices at the same time. It is good practice to configure the hardware via the BroadWeigh Toolkit before using the LOG100 software as it is possible for the two programs to give conflicting instructions.

Check local traffic on the 2.4GHz radio band. Using the BroadWeigh Toolkit, go to the Spectrum Analyser page. This will show local traffic on the 2.4GHz radio band and highlight any potential congestion. You can then change the radio channels for all devices via pairing.
