Features- Three selectable movement compensation levels to match animal activity from docile to highly active.
- Automatic weight output when the stability mark appears, reducing manual operations and increasing throughput.
- Automatic residual subtraction: excretions and other residuals are removed on unloading so the display resets to zero and the next animal can be loaded without pressing TARE.
Technical specifications- Compatible series: UW/UX; BW‑K/BX‑K.
- Accessory: optional animal bucket (attachable to listed series).
- Operating mode: Animal mode (unit configured to animal mode when bucket attached).
- Movement compensation: 3 selectable levels.
