5.7 Totalization Counts
Counterpart has a totalization function that allows you to totalize the quantity of several weighings together.
This is especially helpful if putting together parts kits. The ID code is functional with totalization.
For full operation of the totalization feature, the
unit will need to be configured with the following softkeys:
TOTAL+
TOTAL-
Clear Total
To find the total accumulated quantity of similar containers filled with parts, use the totalization procedure
detailed below. Six containers are used in this example procedure; it is assumed that all containers are of the
same empty weight.
1. Conduct a sampling process to determine the unit weight of
the pieces. Or key in a known unit weight or
recall an ID.
2. Enter a known tare weight or place an empty container on the
scale to perform tare function. If an ID was
recalled in step 1 its tare value is already loaded.
3. Place container 1 (full of parts) on the scale. The number of pie
ces in the container is shown in the ”PCS”
area of the display.
4. Press the
Total + softkey to store the number of pieces in container 1. The memory (M) icon is shown. The
net weight of the items in the containers is stored and the totalization count is incremented. The piece
count value is displayed
. The total count is shown in place of the unit weight display and it is labeled as
Total Weight “ttl”.
5. Remove container 1 and place container 2 (full of parts) on the scale.
6. Press the
Total + softkey, the accumulated total is now equal to container 1 plus container 2. The displayed
total is also updated.
7. Continue with the remainder of the containers in t
he same totalization method. The total number of parts
stored in all six containers (and the weight of the parts in those containers) is now stored and are shown
on the display.
• While an ID may be loaded while part totalization
is being performed, the ID Quantity value is not
affected by the totalizations operations.
• If a totalization has been starte
d and the Code softkey is pressed - the unit will prompt “Exit Totalization
Mode?” with Yes and No softkeys. Pressing Yes clears the total, exits from totalization mode and brings
up the normal prompt for entering an ID code. If No is pressed, the unit does not prompt for an ID Code
and totalization can continue.
• The user cannot switch to another scale
during totalization. If the Unit Toggle key is pressed during
totalization the message “
not allowed - totalizing” will be displayed and the switch will not occur.
• The user cannot switch units during
totalization. If the Unit Toggle key is pressed during totalization the
message “
not allowed - totalizing” will be displayed and the switch will not occur.
• During totalization an icon is displ
ayed between the battery icon and the main display area label. the icon
is an uppercase “M” for memory.
• For each totalization done (Total+ or Total-) a count will
be incremented. This value can be printed.
When the total value is cleared and totalization mode is exited, the count will be cleared as well.
• While in totalization mode a press of the
Print key will print the total format - TOTALFMT.
• When attempting a totalization a motion check
can be performed based upon the setting of the TOTAL
parameter in the Feature/Count menu. If Total is set ON and if there is motion, then one more attempt
will be made after two seconds. The default setting is OFF.
• To clear the total value, press the
Clear Total softkey and it will clear the total value.
