WARRANTY CONDITIONS: Warranty covers the material and manufacturing defects, and includes
both spare parts and manpower for the substitution at our warehouse. Warranty starts from the
purchasing date and has a validity of 24 months.
The possible freight charges have to be paid by the customer.
Warranty cannot be applied if the damages are due to improper installation, bad use, ill-treatment,
deterioration, lightnings, weather phenomena, over-voltage, over-current, insufficient or irregular
power supply. Moreover, warranty is not acknowledged if damages have been caused during the
transport from and to the customer, or if they are due to a use that is inconsistent with the
technical/safety measures demanded in the country where the device is used.
If, during the warranty period, one or more components are replaced - for the reparation - with
spare parts which are not supplied or approved by the producer, or in case reparation is carried
out by non-authorized people, Perin Weighmaster S.r.l. reserves the right to revoke immediately
the warranty with no further information.
Warranty is appliable only if there are the producer's label and anti-tamper label on the device.
Perin Weighmaster S.r.l. is not responsible for any direct or indirect damages, caused to people
or things, due to the operator's inability or to a breakdown of the device with the consequent
stoppage of its use.
If spare parts not included in warranty (external covering, batteries, rubber parts) needed replacing,
their cost would be debited to the customer together with the corresponding labour cost.
In case of shipment, pack correctly the device and write down a brief explanation of the problem.

3 - Disposal of t e device
This symbol present on the product or on the handbook indicates that the product
cannot be thrown together with household garbage (European Directive 2002/96/EG).
The final user has to dispose of the device at a gathering place for recycling and
disposal of electrical and electronical devices. The separate refuse collection and
the correct recycling of the devices allow to protect the health of people and
ecosystem. For further information concerning gathering points for devices, contact
the local authority for the disposal of garbage or the distributor where the product
has been purchased.
1 - Safety regulations for system installation and maintenance
- Install only when power supply is disconnected.
- Do not install the device near heat sources or near strong magnetic fields.
- Disconnect the power supply cable from the weight indicator when you need to recharge the battery
of the means of transport.
- Immediately disconnect the power supply cable if the cables or the connectors are stripped or
damaged, if the system has particular problems or if there is liquid/humidity in the device.
- The tension should stay between 12V and 14V to avoid damaging the other parts of the system.
The device works correctly with tensions between 10V and 24V.
- Before cleaning the machine with high pressure waterjets, disconnect the cables, remove the weight
indicator from the machine and protect the connectors of the cables from water seepage.
Pay attention that the load cells, the junction box, the alarm and other accessories are not exposed
to direct waterjets.
If the device needs to be cleaned, use soft and lightly humid cloths.
Do not use sprays, solvents, abrasives, sharp or cutting objects which could damage the case.
- Do not open the device, to avoid losing the warranty right. For maintenance/reparation, address
to our company or to technical authorized staff.
- Before doing any welding on the machine, disconnect the cables.
To prevent welding current from passing through load cells, it is necessary to shortcircuit the body
of the load cells with a cable with adequate section and the earth of the welder must be connected
near the point where you weld.
2 - Connections
The device has got three connectors. From left to right: a pin connector for the connection of the
extension cable (LOAD CELLS), a 7 pin connector for the connection of remote displays (STARBUS),
a 3 pin connector for the connection of the power supply and alarm cable (POWER).
Before making connections, make sure that the device and the possible peripherals are off.
Before introducing any connector, make sure it is the right one and then connect it adequately
otherwise damages to the device could occur.
After having introduced the connector, screw the fixing ring.
To disconnect the cables from the plugs, rotate the upper ring anticlockwise, keeping the lower ring
steady. Pull out the connector. Do not pull the cable directly.

MAINTENANCE
FarmScale mod. 700/710 do not require any regular maintenance, however it is necessary
to check the conditions of the weighing system periodically.
1) Make sure that there are no disturbing elements between the supporting chassis and the
platform or the container, the basin, the feeder, etc.
2) Make sure that the load cells are not damaged (no cracks nor dents), not rusty, not corroded
by acids.
3) Make sure that there is enough space between the chassis and the components of the
weighing systems; lubricate if necessary.
4) Make a test: load a weight on each corner, the displayed amount must be nearly the same.
) Make sure that the connectors are tight and that the cables are undamaged (no cuts nor
abrasions). Remember that, where food is stored or handled, small rodents often gnaw
cables which are situated in hidden or scarcely reachable places.
6) Check there is no oxidation or humidity on the connecting points.
7) Check that the silicone used to seal the different parts of the weighing system is intact
otherwise there could be water seepage.
BATTERY TEST
The battery test should be made periodically (entering voltage level to FarmScale mod.
700/710). To carry out this test, keep the key pressed; a "t" with the voltage value
of power supply will be displayed and the alarm will sound intermittently. Press once
again to have the direct weight reading.

USE AS SIMPLE WEIGHT INDICATOR
Switch the indicator on with the key and wait for a few seconds. After the HELLO
message, the indicator shows the model and the version and prepares itself for direct reading.
Load and you will immediately read the value corresponding to the loaded weight.
NB: in the beginning it might be necessary to adjust the zero, because the mechanical parts
of the system need some time to settle.
ZEROING (TARE)
Switch the indicator on, after a few seconds a value will be displayed. Keep the key
pressed until the display shows the message tArE. The indicator goes automatically to zero.
PARTIAL WEIGHINGS
To make loading of different ingredients easier, without using the alarm, press and
the display will visualize "0" with an indicator which will set on NET. Load the ingredient,
press again and the indicator will move to TOTAL so that the total loaded weight will
be shown. Follow this procedure for all the partial weighings (loading and unloading).
SELECTION OF FUNCTIONS
To change the function you only need to press .
The fixed announcer will move showing each time the selected function:
TOTAL / NET / EXECUTION / PROGRAMMING / STORAGE.
PROGRAMMING RATIONS
FarmScale Mod. 700/710 has a memory able to store programmes of 20 recipes of 20
ingredients each, which can be used for loading and unloading.
When executing the ration, the indicator automatically recognizes if a loading or unloading
is being carried out (LOAD/UNLO announcers); there will be an alarm both for loading and
for unloading. It is therefore possible to use the programming of recipes to manage different
unloading groups, too.
There are two different ways of setting the programming:
- in total values (the ingredients are expressed in total kilos)
- proportional to the number of animals (the ingredients are expressed per animal)
To write, recall, check and execute the programme, use the keys placed on the frontal panel.
The user should prepare a list of all the ingredients with their values in order to program the
recipe in a correct way.
PROGRAMMING LOADING IN TOTAL VALUES
The ingredients are introduced in total Kg. After the ration has been entered, before executing
it, it is still possible to change the total value with automatic adaptation of components.
e.g. - program the recipe n. 1 composed of the following ingredients: n. 1 of 110 kg, n. 2 of
22 kg, n. 3 of 1120 kg and n. 4 of 120 kg. Proceed in this way: switch on the indicator and
wait for a few seconds.
