Enter the row number from which the fruit was picked. A maximum of 5
digits are allowed.
After entering the row number the controller will monitor the weigh platform
for stability.
If the platform is not stable the phrase “Acquiring Weight” will be displayed
and the platform monitored for a preset period. If during that period the
weight doesn’t become stable an error message will be displayed “WEIGHT
NOT STABLE” accompanied by a triple beep. Should this message occur
press the cancel key and try the process again. If the error persists check
that the scales are firmly positioned and that the load is correctly placed
onto the weighing platform.
If a stable positive weight exists then the operators tare will be subtracted to
give the net weight and the result displayed. This net weight together with
the operator number, row and time will then be entered into memory for
transmission to the NOMAD system. After 3 seconds the reading will be
cleared from the display and the controller will be ready for another entry.
