The control light in the front instrument
panel starts blinking after each transaction
with the weights. By counting the amount
of blinks, the amount of ballast can be
determined. For a heavy weight 2 blinks appear and 1 blink for a light
weight, this means 10 blinks if the box is filled up completely. After a
pause of 2-3 seconds the blinking will be repeated etc.. The blinking can be
stopped by pressing on the control light. Pressing again on the control light
reactivates the blinking feature.
