Section 5. Parameter Setup
The PC-400 has adjustable setup parameters which control the scale’s operation.
Entering and Exiting Setup Mode:
Quick Setup:
The model PC-400 is equipped with a quick, front-panel setup mode. This setup
mode allows the non-meteorological parameters to be modified. To enter the front-
panel setup mode, perform the following steps:
1.
Turn off the scale.
2.
Press and hold the UNITS button.
3.
Press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately one second.
4.
Release both buttons.
The scale will now be in the quick setup mode.
Full Setup:
To enter the complete setup menu, perform the following steps:
1.
Apply power to the PC-400.
2.
Remove the platter.
3.
Turn the scale over and remove the calibration bolt.
4.
Place a thin, blunt object through the hole and press straight down to
activate the calibration switch.
The scale should enter the Setup/Calibration mode, and the scale should display
“div 2.5”, “div 5.0”, or “div 10”, (depending on the scale’s resolution.)
The parameters are accessed by pressing the UNITS button. Pressing this button will
cause the scale to step to the next parameter on the list. Pressing the ZERO button
will change the current parameter setting. To exit the setup mode, press and release
the UNITS button until the scale returns to the weight mode.
NOTE: No setup information is saved until the PC-400 exits the setup mode. A power
failure while in the Setup Mode will cause changes to be lost.
After all changes have been completed and the scale is in the operating mode,
replace the calibration bolt on the bottom of the scale. If it is necessary to seal the
scale, run a lead and wire seal through the calibration bolt and the adjacent bolt.
Changing a Parameter:
Once the desired parameter has been found, it may adjusted. Press and release
“ZERO” to step through the individual options. When you have stepped through all of
the parameters, the scale will return to the weigh mode.
Changing Start up Units:
The scale will “power-up” with the same units that it was using when it was last turned
off.
Legal for Trade Restrictions:
The Legal for Trade mode disables the pound-ounce mode.
