INTRODUCTION The AGF Floor Scale provides the user with the electronics necessary to build an accurate, fast, versatile weighing system. Functions include, weighing, check weighing, parts counting, animal weighing and percent weighing. The system includes automatic zero tracking, audible alarm for check- weighing, semi-automatic tare and an accumulation facility that allows individual weights or counts to be stored and the total recalled.
INSTALLATION LOCATING THE SCALE The scale should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy. Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. Avoid unsuitable tables or surfaces. ...
KEY DESCRIPTIONS Sets the zero point for all subsequent weighing. The display shows zero. [Tare/↵] Tares the scale. Stores the weight currently on the scale as tare value, subtracts the tare value from the gross weight and shows the results. A secondary function, is of “Enter”...
DISPLAYS The LCD display will show a value and a unit to the right of the digits. In addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below or above check- weighing limits. Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET) the scale is at zero and stable, if a value has been stored in memory or when the animal weighing function has been enabled.
Zero the scale by pressing the [0/Esc] key if necessary. The “ZERO” indicator will be ON. 0 Place a container on the platform; a value for its weight will be displayed. Press the [Tare/↵] key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display.
CHANGING THE WEIGHING UNITS To change the weighing units, press the [Unit/Mode] key. Press the key again to move to the next unit type in the queue. PRESET TARE To preset a tare weight value, press and hold the [Tare/↵] key. The display will now show a flashing unit which can be increased or decreased using the ⭡...
CHECK-WEIGHING Check-weighing is a procedure to cause LEDs to come on (and if enabled, an alarm to sound) when the weight on the scale meets or exceeds values stored in memory. The memory holds the last values for a high and a low limit when the power is turned off. The user can set either one limit or both as described below.
Page 15
LOW LIMIT SET The display will be amber when CHK bP = In HIGH LIMIT is set to the weight is less than the Low zero Limit. Above the Low Limit the The beeper will be off when the display backlight will be green, weight is less than the Low Limit.
To disable the Check-Weighing function enter zero into both limits by pressing the [Func/Set] key when the current limits values are displayed during the setting procedure, then pressing [Tare/↵] to store the zero values. The values set for the check-weighing will remain in memory when the weighing units or the function changes to parts counting but will not be active.
Remove the sample weight. Then any other weight placed on the scale will be displayed as a percentage of the original sample. For example, if 3500g is placed on the scale and percent weighing is selected, the display will show 100.0%.
To use the Animal Weighing function it is necessary to set the amount of filtering required for the item to be weighed. More active animals will require a higher level of filtering to give a stable result. Press the [Disp/Mode]. The display will show “Flt x”...
Press [Func/Set] and scroll through the list of functions using the ⭡ and ⭣ directional keys Press [Tare/↵] to enter animal 2 weighing. The display will show “LOAD” and the Animal/Dynamic weighing symbol . The scale is now ready to weigh an unstable animal or sample on a weighing scale platform.

The user can stop/restart the function at any time by pressing the [0/Esc] key.
