10 DC-530 Operation Manual
3.0 Configuration Settings
This section presents the setup and configuration of the DC-530 Counting Scale to be used specifically by
distributors and service technicians. Configuring these specifications allow you to tailor the DC-530 to your
specific applications.
Setting the specifications allows you to modify the functionality of the DC-530. Use the tables in this section to
view the options you can modify. For example, if you want to deactivate the DC-530’s ability to enter Tare
weights digitally, refer to the specification table and locate SPEC 35, Bit 2. The default for SPEC 35 is 1, which
means it is enabled. To turn it off or disable it, change the SPEC setting to 0: No.
The following tables list the DC-530 specifications and their corresponding default values. The default values are
automatically set when the scale’s memory is initally set by the dealer.
SPEC 00 through SPEC 12, and SPEC 51 through SPEC 55 (Table 3-1) are Customer Specifications while SPEC
20 through SPEC 49 (Table 3-2) are Weight and Measurement specifications. In programming specifications, the
+ (Plus) and – (minus) keys allow you to move to the next or previous specification while saving changes to the
SPEC code you were just in. To exit from a specification without saving your changes, press the TA RE key. To
save the changes when exiting, press the
* PRINT key.
