SAFETY DURING USE
Caution
Cleaning
Do not use running water (high pressure cleaners, hoses) to clean the indicator.
Charging Battery and Welding
Disconnect all cables from the weighing indicator before charging the battery or welding on the machine. If cables are left connected, the weighing indicator and connected load cells could be damaged.
Important: Do not weld near indicator, load cells or cables; remove from area to be welded. Place ground close to area to be welded to prevent current from passing through electronic parts.

INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Digi-Star scale system which is the simplest and most reliable weighing system on the market today. Due to the large number of load cell capacity options, Digi-Star scale systems can be customized to fit your weighing needs. This manual will cover load cell and other hardware options available. The load cells options available include following: 3300 (3300 lbs capacity), 6600 (6600 lbs capacity), 7000 (7000 lbs capacity), 10K (10,000 lbs capacity), 14K (14,000 lbs capacity).
DIGI-STAR CT ELITE MOUNTS The Digi-Star CT Elite mounts are specifically designed to be used with the Digi-Star CT 10k, 30k and 50k compression load cells. The “floating design” mounts are used in stationary bin weighing applications. Checking action of the floating mount prevents side or swaying loads from interfering with the accuracy of the scales.
PRODUCT CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS We reserve the right to make changes in design, to add improvements to or otherwise modify our electronic scale products without incurring an obligation on goods previously purchased and to discontinue supplying any parts listed when the demand does not warrant production.

INSTALL CT ELITE MOUNT Figure below shows a typical stationary bin application. Mounts can be bolted to bin leg supports first.
1. Position mounts (Key 1) so they are rotated 90°as shown in figure below. This will restrict movement of mounts in directions up/down or left/right.
2. Secure to concrete pad with 5/8-11 or 16x2.0mm concrete anchors. Four required per mount. Do not tighten hardware. Proceed to “Level Mounts” (see page 20) if required.
Important: Follow the concrete anchor manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Install CT Elite Mount
Remove any dirt, rocks or foreign debris from under supports, supports must be flush with concrete pad.
Holes for concrete anchors.

Flat, level, well drained concrete surface (flatness of
±1/8” is required.
D4161-EN Generic Scale Platforms 3.3K-14K 21
LEVELING CT ELITE MOUNT For certified scale applications, there are 4 threaded weld nuts so that each mount can be leveled.
1. Insert leveling bolts (user supplied) into threaded weld nuts
and tighten until mount is level in both directions. 2. When level, insert steel shims (step 4) or non-shrink grout
(step 3) between uneven surface and bottom mount to support load. Leveling bolts are not designed to support the load.
3. Non-Shrink Grout Installation. Build a wooden frame around each mount. Mix up the non-shrinkable grout. While using chemical resistant rubber gloves, push grout in underneath mounts. Leave the frame until grout has set-up per instructions. Grout specifications: Multipurpose non-shrink grout: Sanded, Portland-based non-shrink grout. Free of iron particles, chloride and gypsum. Must meet or exceed ASTM-C-1107 (Grade B).
4. Fully tighten all concrete anchor bolts. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE: Every 6 months:
Check mounts for loose nuts and bolts.
Make sure that side retaining plates are free to move.

Installation
D4161-EN Generic Scale Platforms 3.3K-14K 23
Install all load cells either width ways or lengthways to the platform.
Align load cells so centerlines are lined up (or within ½” (12mm) of each other)
All load cells must be installed in the same direction so that weight is distributed evenly.
Each corner of the chute must be level for accurate weighing. This ensures that the load distributed equally.
IMPORTANT: Do Not weld to platform or load cells with load cell cables connected to the indicator. Disconnect the load cells from the indicator. If you must weld with load cells connected, locate welder ground so that current will not flow through load cells.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 3300 & 6600 WITHOUT J-BOX
START
YES NO Does the indicator come on?
The other load cell is defective. Check its cables for cuts or flattened
areas or send it back for repair.
Does the Indicator respond when you
step on the scale?
YES
Does the scale weigh you
close to your weight?
YES
Check for debris around and under the platform and
load cells. Check for warped or damaged
mounts on platform.
Check for debris around and under the
scale mounts or platform. Check the load cell cables for cuts and flattened
areas.
NO Disconnect one of the load cells and stand over
the connected load cell. Does the indicator
display a reading about twice your weight?
NO
Check for 12 VCD at the AC/DC convertor power cord. If you do not have a multimeter, use a car battery to power the
scale. If the Indicator still does not come on, send in for repair.
The other load cell is defective. Check its cable
for cuts or flattened areas or send it back for repair.
Check the defective load cell by connecting it to the
Indicator and verifying that it does not weigh.
YES NO
Disconnect the first load cell and connect the other load cell to the same connector on the Indicator.
Does the Indicator display a
reading about half your weight? Disconnect the load cell cable from the
Indicator. Press the Indicator “TARE” key. (The Indicator display should go to zero). Stand on the load cell. Does it display a
reading about twice your weight?
NO
This Load Cell is OK. Disconnect the first load cell and connect the other load cell to the same connector. Now stand over the second
load cell. Does it weigh twice
your weight?
Disconnect the first load cell and connect the other load cell
to the same connector. Now stand over the second load cell.
Does it weigh twice your weight?
YES NO
One of the Load Cells is Bad. A good load cell will weigh you at
about twice your weight with only
one load cell connected.
Perform the paper test. Take two paper clips and carefully insert one into pin 2 and the other into pin 3 of either load cell connector jack on the Indicator. Hold one paper clip in each hand (if
they touch it will not damage the Indicator). Does
the reading on the Indicator jump around?
Both load cells are defective. The Indicator is probably OK. Check the cables for
damage and send both load
cells in for repair.
NO YES
The Indicator is defective. Send it in for repair. Note: Load cells may also be
defective. Check the load cells by attaching to a good work in Indicator.
YES NO
The load cell is defective. Check its cables for cuts or
flattened areas or send it back for repair. Check indicator
using a known good load cell.
Connect the load cell to the other connector on the
Indicator. Stand on the load cell. Does it display about twice
your weight?
YES
Check the platform for debris and mud interference. Check mounts for binding
and obstructions.
YES
NO YES
The other load cell is defective. Check its cables
for cuts or flattened areas or send it back
for repair.
Connect both load cells (one at a time) to the other connector on the Indicator.
Do both load cells weigh you about twice your weight?
NO YES
The Indicator is defective. Verify this by substituting a
good working Indicator.
Do both load cells weigh you about the same but not within
20% of twice your weight?
NO
YES
NO

Your Indicator is probably defective. Try another
Indicator to verify. Note: Be aware of electrical
interference that might affect your scale such as mobile phones, CB radios, radio
towers, electrical motors, etc. Also make sure load cell
cables are not attached to hydraulic lines or reservoir because of static electricity.
START
YES NO Does the indicator come on?
Is the reading on the
Indicator stable?
If your display is unstable or flashes “±RANGE”, disconnect the J-Box cord from the Indicator. Is the display still
unstable?
Bad Indicator: If you suspect a bad indicator, the easiest
way to check, is to try another Indicator. Even if the Indicator is a different model or is set-
up for a different scale it
should at least come on.
NO
YES
Stand or hang your weight over each load cell. Does the indicator
respond to your weight?
NO YES
Check all J-Box and load cell cables for cuts
or pinched flat spots.
YES
Are the readings all positive? If not the load cell is upside down.
Does the scale weigh you approximately the same over all load cells (but not your weight)?
YES
Your Indicator is probably not set up and calibrated correctly. Check the decal on the bottom of the Indicator. It shows what type of load cells the Indicator was calibrated to. By pressing
the “ON” key while the Indicator is already on, you will get the Indicator’s “Set-up” and
“Cal” numbers. Write these down and see if they compare to the set-up and calibration
number on the Indicator. Contact your dealer for further
information.
NO
Remove the cover from your
J-Box.
Is there moisture inside J-Box?
NO YES
Look for loose connections. If you watch your Indicator display while moving wires inside the J-Box around and by pressing on the J-Box printed circuit board. You will see if there is a loose connection or
bad solder joint.
Dry out your J-Box (a hair dryer works great). Check
cable strain relief for tightness. Cables should have drip loops. Is cover
gasket damaged?
Have you found a bad connection or a loose wire? YES Fix or replace the J-Box
Continued on next page
Poor Connection: Poor connections can be tricky. If
in doubt, don’t just tighten the connection. Take them apart
and clean them first. Any connection with rust or paint
should be sanded or wire
brushed.
Bad Battery: If you suspect
the battery, try replacing it with another one. Don’t be
fooled if using a voltmeter to test your battery. A weak battery may test good if
checked when there is no
load on the battery.
Bad Power Cord: Make sure the power cord red wire is connected to the plus (+)
positive side and the black (-) negative wire is connected to the negative side. If using a
multimeter to check for voltage, measure between pin 1 (pos) and pin 2 (neg). The meter should read between
16.5 and 14.5 volts DC.

Continued
1. Disconnect all the Load Cell wires from the terminal blocks
inside the J-Box (leave the Indicator on while connecting and disconnecting the wires, it will not damage Load Cells or Indicator if wires are shorted
during this step). Is reading on Indicator stable?
2. Zero balance the Indicator. (Press “NET/GROSS” then
“ZERO”). Indicator should display “0”.
YES
Replace J-Box (be aware of electrical
interference that might affect your scale such as: mobile phones, CB radios, radio
towers, electric motors, etc.).
NO
Note: Hook up the Load Cells to the J-Box one at a time (only one Load Cell connected at a time). This will get a reading for each Load Cell. While
performing this test, watch for any other symptoms such as erratic/unstable display.
Indicator flashing “±RANGE”, negative reading, etc. If the Indicator reading should ever appear
abnormal with any Load Cell connected then it is probably bad.
4. Record the Indicator reading with the Load Cell connected.
3. Connect one Load Cell back into one of the terminals in the J-Box. (The reading you get for
each Load Cell is dependent on the size and type of each Load Cell and how much weight is over
each Load Cell. In general, the number should be positive and stable.)
5. Stand or hang your weight over the connected Load Cell. Record how much the weight
increased with your weight over the Load Cell. (A scale with only one Load Cell will weigh heavy.)
Note: If the scale responded to your weight, that’s verification on the J-Box is OK. If the
scale did not respond, either that Load Cell is bad or the J-Box is bad. Try the other Load
Cells. If the Indicator still shows no response,
the J-Box is bad. (Replace J-Box)
6. Disconnect the first Load Cell and reconnect a second one. Record the Indicator reading.
Stand or hang your weight over the connected Load Cell. Record how much the weight
increased.
7. Repeat step 6 for the remaining Load Cells. Remember to record your readings.
Do not expect the Load Cells to give the same reading. It is common for Load Cells to have
readings that vary by hundreds, even thousands. Especially when one is carrying more weight.
8. Bad Load Cells will have a reading that is either unstable, makes the indicator flash
“±RANGE” or is more than three times greater or less than the average of the others. Also the
readings of your weight over each Load Cell should be similar. (Probably 4 times your actual weight). Any differences could be an indication
of a bad Load Cell or a structural problem.

TYPICAL WOOD PLATFORM CONSTRUCTION The following two platforms can be built using readily available building materials. Alternate decking material (plywood or steel grating) may be used if properly supported. An example of proper support could consist of either concrete or timber piers, or a concrete slab. Treated lumber is recommended for decking material. If alternate deck sizes and/or materials are used, be aware that too much deck deflection will affect weighing accuracy. A heavy strong structure is better than a light one that flexes.
Important: Do Not weld to platform or load cells with load cell cables connected to the indicator. Disconnect the load cells from the indicator. If you must weld with load cells connected, locate welder ground so that current will not flow through load cells.
MODEL 3300 (3300 LB GROSS CAPACITY) This is a typical platform that may be used with the Model 3300. Do not allow deck to overhang more than 6 inches past the edge of the load cell.
