Setting up a 5000 indicator to match your load bars

When you first set up your 5000 indicator, you need to change the settings to match your load bars.

Updated yesterday

To set up the weighing settings on a 5000 indicator:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings, Next page then Weighing Settings.

    Set Damp System to
    - Superdamp III (Cattle) or Superdamp 4 (Cattle) if weighing cattle.
    - Superdamp III (Sheep) or Superdamp 4 (Sheep) if weighing sheep.
    - Averaging if weighing grain or fleece.

  2. Set Resolution to 0.5 kg
    💡 Use a finer resolution (0.1 or 0.2 kg) if you are weighing lambs or other small loads. The finer the resolution, the longer it will take for the weight to be established.

  3. Set Load Bar Type to match your brand and model of load bars. If there is no match, select Tru-Test.

  4. Enable Power Up Zero

  5. Set Auto Zero Track to On Net.

  6. Disable Reverse Weighing

  7. Set Tare to 0.0 kg:

    📝 If you are having trouble weighing, see Troubleshooting - Using load bars with a 5000 weigh scale indicator. If you are using third-party load bars (not Tru-Test load bars) with a Tru-Test weigh scale indicator, click on the Live Chat bubble in the bottom right-hand corner of this screen or email sf-support@datamars.com. You will be guided through the Span Calibration process.
