Key descriptions [0-9] Numeric entry keys to set the unit price. [CE] Clears an erroneous entry or return to normal operation. [Tare] or key Sets the scale to display zero weight when an empty container is placed on the platform or removed again. Also works as an [Enter] key [MR] The memory key shows the accumulation number and total weight [SETUP] Brings up the setup menu for changing date, time, power etc. [Zero] or key It sets the zero when the platform is empty and no tare value is entered.
3.0 OPERATION 3.1 SETTING UP AND TURN ON THE SCALE Follow this set up when using the scale for first time: 1) Place the platform in the locating holes on the top cover. 2) Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. Ensure the bubble in the spirit level is in the centre of the level and the scale is supported by all four feet. 3) Attach the power cable to the connector located on the base to the left of the scale. 4) Plug the power cable into the mains. 5) Press the power button located on scale keypad.
3.3 TARING Manual tare Steps: 1) Zero the scale by pressing the [Zero]/0Esc key. 2) Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed. 3) Press the [Tare] ↵ key when reading is stable. The weight displayed is then stored as the tare value. 4) The stable and “NET” indicator will show on the display. 5) Now when adding additional products, only the weight of the current product will be shown. The scale can be tared a second time.
3.5 PARTS COUNTING The scale can be used to count parts based on the average weight of a previously weighed sample by following these steps: 1) Zero the scale and tare the weighing container. 2) Press the [Func] key 3) The digits [1] and [6] can be used to scroll through the different weighing applications, press until ‘count’ appears on the display. 4) Press the [Tare] ↵ key to activate 5) Once activated, the ‘PCS’ label will appear on the top righthand side of the display.
3.6 CHECK COUNTING Check-weighing is a procedure to display an indicator or sound an alarm when the weight on the platform meets or exceeds the values stored in the memory. The memory holds values for a high limit and a low limit. Either or both the limits can be set by the user. Checkweighing Display The LCD display will indicate whenever the weight is within or exceeds the limits by showing “OK” (mass is between the limits), “HI”(mass is above the high limit) or “LO”( mass is below the low limit).
Limits storing and recalling The indicator can store up to 10 sets of high and low limits in memory along with the weighing units in use (including pcs and %) as well as settings for the beeper. Limits can be stored previously stored units can be recalled. If you are already in the check weighing mode the display will ask if you wish to store the current limits by showing “StorE” or recall another set of limits by showing “Recall”.
1) Zero the scale and tare the container on the weighing pan once a stable weight is displayed. If wanting to set weight manually, ensure there is nothing on top of the weighing pan at this stage. 2) Press the [Func] key and scroll using digits [1] or [6] until ‘percent’ appears on the display. Press the [Tare] ↵ key 3) Press the [SMPL] key. The display will now show the given weight as 100%.
Press [MR] to open the accumulation display Press [Print M+] to print Press [CE] to clear the accumulation. Press [Zero]/0Esc to exit. Steps: Add the weight and press [Print M+] when the display is at zero. The display will show "ACC 1" and then the weight in memory for 2 seconds before returning to normal. The weight can be output to a printer or PC using the RS-232 interface. When the scale is at zero, place a second weight. When stable, press [Print M+] to accumulate the weight.
4.0 RS-232 INTERFACE The CKT and CKT-M Series of scales include a bi-directional RS-232 interface. The scale when connected to a printer or computer through the RS-232 interface, outputs the weight with the selected weighing unit. Specifications: RS-232 output of weighing data ASCII code 9600Baud rate(user selectable) 8 data bits No Parity Connector: 9 pin d-sub miniature socket Pin 3 Output Pin 2 Input Pin 5 Signal Ground The scale can be set to print text in English, French, German or Spanish.
4.2 RS-232 SETUP The RS-232 interface uses parameters set by the user for language, baud rate and date format. Press the [SETUP] key to access the parameters. Press [1] or [6] to scroll through the ‘RS232’ option and [Tare] to confirm. When a parameter is entered by pressing [Tare] , the displays will guide you through the parameter selected and the options available. The parameter and their functions are: Print (to printer): Option for printing to a printer. PC (continuous): For continuous printing.
When a parameter is entered by pressing [Tare], the displays will guide you through the parameter selected and the options available. The parameter and their functions are: PC (continuous): For continuous printing. Cmd (from device): For printing from a device. Available options when selecting the ‘PC’ option (use the [Tare] key to select). 4800: For setting the baud rate. Available options when selecting the ‘Cmd’ option (use the [Tare] key to select). 4800: For setting the baud rate. 5.
Place the calibration weight on the platform and allow the scale to stabilise as indicated by the stable indicator. Press [Tare] to Calibrate When calibration is done the scale will restart and return to normal weighing. After calibration, the scale should be checked whether the calibration is correct. If Necessary, repeat calibration. 6.0 BATTERY Battery Life Battery life is approximately 90 hours without mains connection.
8.0 REAL TIME CLOCK SETUP The Real Time Clock (RTC) is used only for the RS-232 output. The Date and Time can be set as required. The scale will keep the clock running even when the power is off. Setting up the clock: • Press the [SETUP] key to bring up the settings menu. From here you can • use digits [1] and [6] to scroll through the menu. Date and time are set separately. Once you have selected either ‘date’ or ‘time’, press the [tare] button to accept.
Pressing the [0] key will escape for the date and time settings with the current values unchanged. It is possible to change only the time by setting a new time, then pressing the [0] key when the date settings are shown. 9.0 ERROR CODES During the initial power-on testing or during operation, the scale may show an error message. If an error message is shown please consult the table below, following the steps related to the error code on the scale display.
