3.0 UNPACKING THE SCALE • Remove the 2 sets of pallet beams using the handles provided. • Take care while removing the beams to avoid banging or injury. • Remove the Indicator and the power supply adapter packed seperately. • Place it on a levelled and firm floor. • Position the beams side by side. 4.0 SETTING UP THE SCALE • Plug in the Indicator into the socket provided at the back of the pallet beam (the one having two sockets). • Ensure both the beams are connected via the beam-to-beam cable.
5.0 KEYPAD AND DISPLAY 5.1 KEY DESCRIPTION [On/Off] [Print] [Func] [Zero] [Tare] Turns the scale on or off Initiates the RS-232 transmission Sets functions Sets the display to zero with no weight on the platform. Sets the display to zero by storing the current weight in the tare memory • Turn the scale on using the [On/Off] key. After the display is zero, place an item to be weighed on the platform. The display will show the weight. The unit will be grams or kilograms as set by the supplier.
5.2 DISPLAY SYMBOLS Symbol Description ZERO STAB PCS kg or g or t BAT-LO TARE Scale in auto zero range (indication = accurate zero) Result is stable Scale in parts counting mode Scale in weighing mode Batteries are weak, after 5 minutes the scale will turn off Scale has been tared When weight is above the High setpoint When weight is between the setpoints When weight is below the Low setpoint During parts counting sample size is too small - Lo - 6.

6.2 AVE = DISPLAY AVERAGING RATE • • • • It selects the required averaging for the display update. Press the [Func] key until AVE is displayed. Press [Print] to select the desired value. Press the [Func] key to return to weighing. AVE 1 = Fastest display rate for uses such as filling. AVE 5 = Slowest display rate for uses such as animal weighing or poor environment. • Press the [Func] key to return to weighing. 6.3 FIL = ADC FILTER RATE • • • • It selects the required filter rate.
6.5 cont = CONTINUOUS PRINTING This parameter is used to configure to print continuously whenever there is any weight on the balance or only when [Print] is pressed. • To set the parameter press the [Func] key to show “cont” • Press [Print] to see the parameter. • Press [Print] to select either “cont= 0” or “cont= 1”. “cont= 0” Continuous output is disabled. Prints only when the [Print] key is pressed. “cont= 1” Continuous printing is enabled. • Press the [Func] key to return to weighing. 6.
of parts. If more items are added or removed from the balance, the display will show the new quantity. Note that the display is limited to 6 digits, i.e. 999,999 pieces. If the quantity on the scale exceeds 999,999 the left most digits and any leading zeros will be lost, for example 1,002,305 will display as 2,305 pieces. • When in use the balance can be tared normally to eliminate the package weight from the gross weight.
6.7 StEPS = CHECK-WEIGHING FUNCTION (LOW-OK-HIGH) • The check-weighing function will show a symbol on the left side of the display to indicate if the current weight displayed is: - above the High setpoint - between the setpoints - below the Low setpoint • To enable the check-weighing function and set the value of the setpoints press the [Func] key until “StEPS” is displayed. • Press [Print] to enter the function. The display will then show all zeros and the left most digit will be flashing.
6.8 CALIbr = CALIBRATION ROUTINE • To set the parameter press the [Func] key to show “CALIbr”. • Remove all weight from the platform. • Press [Print] and the display will show “noCAL” while the scale is measuring the initial mass (pan must be empty). • Then the display will show “LOAd xxx” where xxx is the required calibration weight. • Place the weight on the platform then press [Print] – display will show “CAL” and then (after calibration) “unLoAd”.
6.10 StAb = PRINT WHEN STABLE or INSTANTANEOUS • When the scale is set to manual print (rePL = 0), the balance can be set to print either immediately after the [Print] key is pressed or only after the balance is stable. The function can also be enabled from the RS-232 interface. See Section 3: Communication with a Computer or Printer. • To set the parameter press the [Func] key to show “StAb”. • Press the [Print] key to see the parameter. Press [Print] to select either “StAb= 0” or “StAb= 1”.
6.12 t1 = AUTOMATIC POWER SWITCH OFF The scale includes an internal battery. The typical operation time using only the battery is 50 hours if one load cell is used and about 12 hours if four are used. The scale includes the “t1” function to turn the power off after 5 minutes if it is not being used. This function can be disabled if the balance is powered from the main power supply or if the disruption of power affect the weighing procedure.
6.15 SuPP = Power supply voltage to PCB • • • • To set the parameter press the [Func] key to show “SuPP”. Press [Print] to see the parameter. The display will show the current voltage to the PCB. Press any key to return to normal weighing. 7.0 COMMUNICATION WITH A COMPUTER/PRINTER The following applies only to scales supplied with an RS-232 interface. • Press the [Print] key to transmit weighing data (value and unit of mass) to a computer or printer.
If the output connector is a 6 pin audio connector. The output pins are: Pin 2 Input Pin 3 Output Pin 5 Signal Ground It is necessary to jumper pin 1 to pin 6 to enable the RS-232 interface circuits. Do not connect these pins to the handshaking pins on the interfaced device. 7.3 OUTPUT FORMAT The balance will output the weight with the units of measure on one line. The output is initiated when the [Print] key is pressed or a command is received over the RS-232 interface.
