TRU-TEST: No. 1 worldwide for electronic scales for animal husbandry
What does a weighing system consist of?
A system consists of an indicator and 2 load bars or 4 weighing feet. The load bars record the weight and can be mounted under platforms, crushes or other weighing containers. They are connected to the indicator with the help of cables. The value measured by the load cells is converted into a weight with the help of the indicator and is shown on the display. The indicator automatically adapts itself to all weighing elements.
Tru-Test scales are not calibratable.
How does the weighing system get power?
The indicator can be powered either by a 12 V car/tractor battery, or by an appropriate mains adaptor. Alternatively, all models can be powered by a built-in rechargeable LiFePo battery.
Quick, easy weighing
The unique SUPERDAMP III software provides an accurate and stable weight in seconds, even with restless animals. For maximum accuracy the displayed stable weight is continuously updated.
Tru-Test weighing systems are specialised in weighing live animals.
Easy operation
The keys of the scales are large, easy to read, logically arranged and are intuitively operable. The large LCD display is easy to read in all light conditions. Clear operating instructions complete the userfriendly package.
All Tru-Test products meet the high quality requirements of ISO 9001 - the highest quality standard.
Simple installation
The scale can be installed and is ready for operation in a few minutes. You need a sturdy, level base (preferably a concrete slab). Depending on application, you then install a stable platform, a crush or other weighing container to the load bars or weighing feet.
Is the system compatible with ear tag readers?
The indicator units of the 5000 series and the EziWeigh model 7i have an EID-interface for a linkage to electronic animal identification systems (electronic ear tags, implants, etc.) as per ISO 11784/11785 standards.
How do I get the data to a computer?
Data transmission by software
The indicator units of the 5000 series, the EziWeigh 7i and S3 model, and the EID readers include a transfer software for downloading and/or uploading the stored data to or from a personal computer. The data files can be opened and processed with various spreadsheet programs. Additionally, you can create detailed reports directly on the indicators.
