Welcome to the Weltech Bw8010 automatic bird weigher. Although in design every effort has been made to make the controller as user friendly as possible, please take time to read this manual. Not only have we given definitions of what settings and functions are and do, but why they are needed in the overall operation. You will also find step by step guides to CALIBRATION and a pictorial explanation of how the controller measures the bird weight. At the back of the manual you will find a check list showing the settings which are essential to accurate weighing. Should you wish to contact...

HOW IT WORKS This section has been written to give a full understanding as to how the controller decides which is good and which is bad information and also what to do with that information once it has it. The flow of operation is quite simple and can be broken down into four steps. STEP 1 When weight is applied to the perches the loadcell inside can generate a voltage signal which corresponds to that weight. The voltage signal is then sent back to the controller which has the ability to turn that signal back into a weight reading which it understands. When the weight is removed from the...

STEP 2 The controller then has to decide if the weight that it has just measured falls within acceptable limits. These limits are ones that are generated when you enter the TARGET WEIGHT. TARGET WEIGHT ACCEPTANCE % HIGH ACCEPTANCE % LOW ACCEPTABLE LIMITS = From 1.913 kilo to 2.925 kilo WEIGHT RECORDED Does weight recorded fall within acceptable limits? Answer = YES! Add weight to memory. THE HIGH AND LOW ACCEPTANCE PERCENTAGES USED ARE THE FACTORY DEFAULT ONES. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THESE SETTINGS ARE USED. HOWEVER, THIS IS LEFT TO THE USERS DESCRETION. OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT SETTINGS WILL...

The controller will then update itself. It will use the average weight recorded for that day as the new TARGET weight for the next, increase the age of the birds and reset the memory ready to start weighing again.
