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

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 5 pin connector for the connection of the
extension cable (LOAD ELLS), 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), a 5 pin connector
for cartridge ( ARTRIDGE).
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.

8 - LANGUAGE SELECTION
7 - BATTERY TEST
If you want to select a language different from the preset one, when you switch the indicator
on, after the inscription "Options detected", press to see the list of the languages
(Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, zech, Russian). Digit the
number corresponding to the required language and wait that the indicator sets in the new
language and goes to direct reading.
It is advisable to test the battery periodically (entrance tension value to the weight indicator).
To carry out this test, switch the indicator on using ; keep pressed and release
it; a "t" with the voltage of power supply will be displayed and the acoustic device will
intermittently sound. Press the key again to have the weight direct reading.
6 - MAINTENANCE
The weight indicator does 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.
5) 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) heck there is no oxidation or humidity on the connecting points.
7) heck that the silicone used to seal the different parts of the weighing system is intact
otherwise there could be water seepage.

10.3 PROGR function: rogramming rations
The indicators 1500/1510 have a memory able to store up to 20 recipes (99 recipes for
indicators 1520/1530) each one composed of 20 ingredients for loading and 10 groups for
unloading. It is possible to assign a name (names can be chosen from a pre-existent list or
can be later added to the Name File) to every recipe, ingredient and unloading group.
When programming, the loading ingredients refer to the individual animal and are expressed
in the unit of measure selected with two decimals. For each ingredient it is possible to program
a mixing time, expressed in minutes, useful during execution to have a timer with alarm
between the loading of an ingredient and the following one.
The functions written in the first line of the display are recallable with the keys placed above
the inscriptions and allow, among other things, to go back to the previous step.
Make sure that at the time of blocking and unblocking the machine and the augers
have been firm for some seconds (the weight value must be steady) and that there
are no points of support on the under weighing part, otherwise there could be
variations in the total weight.
