Batch weighing 2 Keypad Operation The WeighTech MicroWeigh keypad is a watertight sealed touch sensitive sensor. The keys are actually sensitive to contact area, not force. Press lightly with the ball of your fingertip as though you were giving fingerprints. Best results come from using the ball of your finger, not the very tip.
To unlock the keypad, you must play follow the leader. One key will be lit. Press it. Another key will then light up. Press it. Continue until the indicator displays “Exit washdown”. The indicator will require that you press five keys in a row correctly before it will unlock the keypad.
3.8 “Tare” Keypad entered tare: Touch the Enter key to set a new pushbutton tare by scrolling through digits one place at a time. Keypad tare values are entered in the current units, and are limited to be greater than gross zero weight and less than the indicator capacity. Entering a tare of zero will clear any existing tare from indicator.

Off Timer Minutes to automatic shutoff, set to 0 to disable auto-off Bootload WeighTech use only 10 Troubleshooting 10.1 Load cells Go to the “Info menu” and verify that the “Excite” voltage is about 4.5V. A reading of less than 1V probably indicates a short from excite to ground.
(available for purchase from WeighTech), or a known good load cell. Calibrate the scale with a convenient test weight and check to see if the weight reading is stable. If so, the noisy load cell has probably been damaged or water-soaked. If the indicator still displays a noisy weight with a load cell simulator, the problem may be in the indicator.
