**Web Switch URL:** Static URL of Web Switch, Port is NOT required by default but may be needed depending on networking solution

**Freefall Amount:** (Weight Threshold in LBS/KG) amount of material left in the drop to trigger the gate to close.

**Auto Calculate Freefall:** When enabled, an algorithm adjusts the free fall amount automatically based on tolerance differences in previous drops.&#x20;

**Sort:** Changes the order in which the silos are display on the ticketing screen

**Gate Relay #:** Relay Number must match the Local Relay # (not the Device #) for the silo gate

**Pulse Duration:** (In Seconds) When a request is made to open the gate, it is kept open for this duration. Requests are made every half second.

**Jog Time:** Amount of time the gate is held open when a Jog is manually triggered

**Slow Open Gate:** When enabled, a separate relay can be designated as a slow/partial gate opening

* **Slow Open Relay #:** Local Relay # (not the Device #) for slow/partial gate opening
* **Slow Jog Time:** Amount of time the gate is held open when a slow/partial Jog is manually triggered

**Default # of Drops:** Splits loads into number of drops

**Drop n %:** Drop percentages are automatically split equally between all drops, but can be configured to not be equal (for example with 3 drops: 1 - 40%, 2 - 30%, 3 - 30%)

**Safety Inputs:** Separate Pop up for configuring additional Safety Inputs, if the input state does not match, then Fast-Weigh will consider Loadout as NOT safe

* **Description:** Name of Safety input (Example: Photoeye)
* **Digital Input #:** Digital Local Input # (not the Device #)
* **Input State:** Indicate if On or Off is the safe state

**Safety Selector:** When enabled, a Digital Input can be configured to&#x20;

* **Selector Digital Input #:**  Digital Local Input # (not the Device #)

**Gate Timer:** (in Seconds) If no material is dropped within the time frame, the load is automatically cancelled

**Max Drop Timer:** (in Seconds) if the gate has been open for this long, the load is automatically cancelled

**Signal on Load Complete:** If enabled, the relay will be signaled when a ticket is created. Used for Horns or Traffic Lights

* **Load Complete Relay #:** Local Relay # (not the Device #)
* **Signal Duration:** (In Seconds) duration of load complete signal

**Load Lamp:** When Enabled, the silo card will display a button that can enable the lamp until the button is deactivated. Silo Lamps tell drivers which silo they will be loaded from if the scale has more than one silo.

* **Lamp Relay #:** Local Relay # (not the Device #)
* **Lamp Pulse Time:** *no longer supported*

**High Inventory:** When enabled, an indicator is displayed in app if a high inventory level is reached

* **High Inventory Digital Input #:** Digital Local Input # (not the Device #)

**Sync Status Updates to Portal:** *Not currently supported*
