It is recommended that you set up the indicator at home before you begin weighing
animals.
Charging the battery
Fully charge the indicator overnight by plugging it into a computer or charging it with
a USB power adaptor, such as supplied with most mobile phones.

2. Press to select the flashing units you will use.
The units you select will remain selected even after you power the indicator off and
on again. If you need to change the units, hold down for 3 seconds to swap
between kg or lb.
The indicator is now ready to be installed.

Record weigh sessions and change the indicator settings (such as units or
Resolution) from your phone using the MiHub Data Link app, or from your
Windows* computer, using Data Link for PC. Then, track your animals’

ensure you meet your weight targets.

Changing indicator settings with
Data Link
You may want to change the indicator settings depending on your weighing scenario.
MiHub Data Link for mobile makes this a quick and simple process on your mobile
device. Alternatively, launch Data Link for PC on your Windows* computer.
Selecting non-Tru-Test load bars
The S3 indicator is pre-calibrated to work with leading non-Tru-Test load bars.
1. Plug your load bars into the indicator.
2. Connect to the indicator using Data Link on your mobile device or Windows*
computer.
3. Select to open Settings, and go to the Load bar type menu.
4. Select your load bars from the list that appears.
If your load bars are not on the list, you need to perform a span calibration.
Span calibration
If your load bars are not available for selection on Data Link, you will need to perform
a span calibration to ensure that your animals are weighed correctly.
1. Connect to the indicator using Data Link on your mobile device or Windows*
computer.
2. Select to open Settings, and choose Span calibration.
3. Follow the steps to complete the span calibration.

Auto power down
By default, the indicator will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity, unless it is
plugged in and charging.
On
Indicator powers down after 15 minutes of inactivity
Off
Indicator remains powered on until battery runs out, or it is powered off
manually
The default Auto power down setting is On.
Auto zero
Auto zero promotes rapid weighing between animals, and removes the need to press
the Zero button after each animal has been weighed.
On
Rapid weighing between animals is enabled
Off
Press zero after each animal is weighed
The default Auto zero setting is On.
You may want to remove Auto zero if you are weighing grain or produce
that takes time to come to full weight on the load bars.

Resolution
The resolution is the number of kg (or lb) the scale will increment by as weight is
added.
For example, if the animal weighs under 200 kg (or under 500 lb), the weight will be
displayed in the nearest 0.5kg (or 1 lb). If the animal weighs between 200-500 kg
(or 500-1000 lb), the weight will be shown in the nearest 1 kg (or 2 lb). The default
resolutions are listed below; however, you can change the minimum weighing
resolution.
Changing the resolution may cause the scale to take longer to stabilise on a weight.
Small resolutions on large weights may not stabilise. Ensure that you have set the
correct resolution for your weighing environment.

Weighing an animal
Check that the indicator is zeroed before you begin weighing. If not, press
on the indicator.
If you are using Data Link to record weights, open the app on your mobile device or
PC and connect to the indicator.
1. Start a new session and name it.
2. Move the animal onto the platform.
3. When the weight has stabilised, press to record the
weight.
4. When the weight is recorded, move the animal off the
platform and wait for the weight to return to zero.
If the indicator is not displaying 0 kg (0 lb) between animals or there are
problems with inaccurate or unstable weights, make sure that the bars
are firmly secured to the concrete floor and free from stones or dirt, and
that the load bars are properly connected to the indicator.

Maintenance and care
Do not leave the indicator or indicator connectors immersed in water.
Remove dust and moisture from the plugs using methylated spirits, ethyl alcohol,
or a suitable electrical contact cleaner. Stronger spirits must not be used, as they
may react with the plastic.
