Configure and Connect the Scale
Setting up your feeding hardware correctly is a critical step in ensuring that your daily feeding data is accurate and that your equipment communicates seamlessly with the FeedComp App. To facilitate reliable data collection and precise loading, you must configure your scale's internal settings before pairing it with your mobile device via Bluetooth.
IMPORTANT: Before configuring and connecting your scale, review the pre-installation checks for scale and hardware verification.
💡TIP: Connecting a scale pairs a physical scale indicator to your mobile device via Bluetooth — this is different from pairing two mobile devices for Loader View. For a side-by-side comparison, see Bluetooth Pairing in FeedComp.
Follow the specific configuration and connection instructions for your scale model:
- Scale-Tec POINT Scale: Learn how to adjust display count settings in the Scale-Tec app to prevent incomplete feeding data and establish a connection.
- Topcon Digi-Star Scale: Follow detailed steps to verify required parameter values, enable Bluetooth, and calibrate your EZ2810 or EZ3410 indicator for optimal performance.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Android Users: Confirm FeedComp has Location permission set to Allow only while using the app with Use precise location enabled in Android Settings (Settings > Apps > FeedComp > Permissions > Location). If set to Allow once or disabled, the app cannot scan for or connect to Bluetooth scale indicators.
You can check the FeedComp System Requirements page on the VAS website to confirm whether your device is supported and compatible with FeedComp.
