Troubleshooting

Fault
Reading does not return
to zero between animals.
OR
Difference in readings at
each end of the
platform.
OR
Under reading (readings
lighter than expected).
Reading unstable.
Reading moves, display
shows underload or
overload then displays a
reading if cable moved.
Remedy
1 Check for binding or tight chains. Ensure that the platform/crate is not
touching any other part of the race work or concrete pad (there may be a build
up of dung, mud or stones).
2 Check that the load bar feet are sitting evenly on the pad. There should be no
stones or dung under the rubber feet or between the load bar housing and
rubber feet. All 4 load bar feet should be firmly in contact with the ground.
3 Check pinning/anchoring. Bolt holes that are misaligned will put a residual load
on the load bars. It may be necessary to enlarge the mounting holes in the
platform or crate to improve the alignment.
4 Moisture in the load bar connectors. Moisture can be removed from the plugs
and caps using methylated spirits, ethyl alcohol, or a suitable electrical contact
cleaner. Stronger spirits should not be used, as they react with the plastic.
5 Damaged cable. Return for service.
6 Moisture in load bars. Return for service.
Damaged cable. Return for service.
