1 (Standard mode)
This value should be about 50% to 75% of the average animal's
weight. Modify this value as needed by pressing the PRESET key
described below.
YES (if you want each Auto-Hold weight to be added to an accumulator)
This value should be reasonably small since this is the amount of
weight fluctuation allowed for the Auto-Hold to still actuate.
 Verify your preset threshold value is correct by pressing the
PRESET key.
 The indicator will display the prompt THRES=. Press the ENTER key
to display the current value.
 If this value is correct, press the ENTER key otherwise key in your
desired threshold weight value and press ENTER.
1. With the scale empty, verify the scale is showing 0 units Gross. If
not in Gross mode, press the 0 key then the TARE key to clear the
stored tare weight and the indicator will display Gross weight.
2. If the scale is showing a weight different than 0, press the
ZERO/CLEAR key to zero the scale.
3. If you wish to use a tare weight, place a tare weight on the scale
then press the TARE key; Or if you know the tare weight, you can
manually enter it by keying in the value followed by the TARE key.
4. The scale is now ready to weigh an animal. Direct the animal onto
the scale.
5. Once the scale becomes stable above the preset threshold (THRES)
value, a 3 second timer will start. If the weight stays within the
balance tolerance (+ or – BALTOL), the indicator will lock onto the
average weight once the timer expires. If the weight variation is
greater than the balance tolerance, the timer will stop and the
indicator will wait for the scale to become stable above the threshold
weight once again. The 3 second timer will restart once stable.
This process will repeat until a hold weight is acquired.
