Description
What does the LP7510 livestock scale kit do?
Short answer: it lets you add weighing capability beneath a rigid livestock chute or platform without buying a complete fabricated scale deck. The four load cells send their combined signal through the stainless summing box to the LP7510 indicator, which stabilizes moving-animal readings with its data-hold and filtering functions.
Designed for moving animals
Animal hold and adjustable dynamic filtering help the indicator settle on a usable weight while an animal shifts on the scale.
Flexible installation
Use the kit under a rigid squeeze chute or fabricate a platform for cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, feeders and similar farm equipment.
Ready-to-connect components
The indicator is supplied with a quick-disconnect home-run cable, and the package includes labeled cell cables, hardware and setup instructions.
What is included in the LP7510 kit?
The following contents are stated on the product listing. Confirm current package contents with the seller before ordering if your installation depends on a particular foot or accessory configuration.

Scope note: the manual describes the LP7510 indicator platform and optional interfaces generally. Do not assume every optional I/O, RS485 or 4-20 mA feature is installed in this specific livestock kit unless the seller confirms it.
How to plan an LP7510 livestock scale installation
Installation quality determines weighing performance. A rigid, level structure and correct load path matter as much as the electronic components.
- Confirm the structure. The chute or platform must be rigid and suitable for supporting the animals, equipment and dynamic loads.
- Plan four load points. Position the load cells and mounting blocks so the structure bears consistently on all four cells without binding.
- Protect cables and enclosures. Route each cell cable away from crushing, chewing, standing water, weld current and sharp edges.
- Wire with power disconnected. Follow the labels, kit instructions and manual; the manual prohibits electrical connection work while powered.
- Level, zero and calibrate. Complete calibration with known test weight after the final mechanical installation, then verify repeatability at multiple positions.
Safety: calibration, inspection and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect power during electrical connections and provide proper grounding, as directed by the manual.
Suitable livestock and farm applications
The LP7510 kit is marketed for cattle, hogs, sheep, goats and pigs. It can also be considered for rigid feeders, dairy equipment, bins, silos, chicken coops, livestock trailers and horse weight-management platforms, provided the structure, capacity, mounting and environmental protection are appropriate.
LP7510 indicator setup and calibration video
The supplied 6-minute video introduces 7510 Series indicator versions, battery and RS232 features, and the steps for units, decimal places, increments, capacity, zero and span calibration. Use the written kit instructions and indicator manual as the controlling references.
Livestock Scale Kit LP7510 FAQs
What is the capacity of the LP7510 livestock scale kit?
The complete kit is listed for up to 10,000 lb with 1 lb readability. It uses four load cells rated at 5,000 lb each. Individual cell ratings do not simply add up to usable system capacity; mounting, load distribution, structure and safety margins govern the completed scale.
Can I install the kit under an existing cattle chute?
Yes, the kit is intended for rigid squeeze chutes and owner-built platforms. Confirm that the structure is suitable, that all four load points can be installed without binding, and that cables and electronics can be protected.
How does the LP7510 weigh a moving animal?
The indicator manual documents data hold for animal weighing and adjustable dynamic filtering. These functions help stabilize a reading while the animal moves, but correct mechanical installation and calibration are still required.
Can the LP7510 connect to a printer or computer?
The product listing identifies RS232 output for a printer, and the manual documents RS232 communication modes and serial commands. Confirm the connector, cable and configured output mode required for your printer or computer.
Is the livestock scale kit waterproof?
The product listing describes environmentally sealed load cells for outdoor installation and a stainless steel summing box. That does not mean every component or connection can be submerged or pressure washed. Protect the indicator, connectors, cable entries and power equipment according to their instructions.
