1. INTENDED USE Scales are the response for the market demands concerning simplicity of operation and high functionality. They are intended for quick and precise weighing in industrial and laboratory conditions. The state-of-the-art weighing terminal with TFT 5.7” colourful graphic displays with touch panels allows for intuitive operation without using keys. Scales are equipped with 2 USB interfaces, 2 RS232 connectors, port Ethernet and 4 inputs/4 outputs (digital).

31. WORKING MODES – DENSITY Working mode < Density> enables determining density of solids, liquids and materials of high viscosity. The density is determined on basis of Archimedes principle, according to which any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid. The density mode also enables utilizing a pycnometer for determining density of liquids. 31.1.
Ask about sample number Function ordering inserting number of a sample before initaining the test procedure Pycnometer mass Parameter designed for manual determining mass of a pycnometer expressed in [g]. If inserted value is equal to „0” then on test procedure start, the pycnometer mass shall be measured. Pycnometer density Parameter intended for manual determining volume of the pycnometer expressed in [cm3] Unit Weighing unit set to read the measurement result.
Process course: • Press < Local parameters> key to enter the setting of local parameters in density mode. • Press < Sinker volume> in order to insert the volume of the 3 sinker (given in [cm ]) which is immersed in the tested liquid. • On specifying the parameters exit to main menu of the density mode by pressing • key. In order to start density determination of liquid, press < Determine liquid density> key, using a pre-defined hot keys on terminal’s display.
31.3.2. Determining density of solids Density of solids is determined by weighing a solid object in two different medium: in the air and in auxiliary liquid with determined density. The difference between the two measurements is displacement weight, which is used by scale software to calculate the density of tested solid. Before starting the measurement select < Local parameters> menu and choose < Standard liquid> to be utilized in the density determination process.
Caution: Ask about sample number> function If in the local parameters, < is enabled, then on initiating the process, the system asks for inserting the number of tested sample. The inserted sample number is linked to the process data and saved in the database. • The first phase of the density determination of solid, is measurement of the solid object in the air. Place the object on the scale’s weighing platform.
The excess of liquid pouring through the capillary tube is removed with an absorbent paper. Then, the vessel is immediately placed on a scale, and its mass is determined as quickly as possible. During the mass measurement, due to contraction of the volume of liquid its level usually noticeably decreases in the capillary tube, but this does not matter if at the time of placing instrument on the scale, it was completely filled and had correct temperature.
Caution: Ask about sample number> function If in the local parameters, < is enabled, then on initiating the process, the system asks for inserting the number of tested sample. The inserted sample number is linked to the process data and saved in the database. • The first phase of density determination process is weighing a pycnometer (if its mass has been determined as “0” in the local parameters) – place an empty pycnometer on scale’s weighing platform.
Process course: • Press < Local parameters> key to enter the setting of local parameters in density mode. • Press < Standard liquid> key to select the auxiliary liquid used for the density determination procedure. If the auxiliary liquid is other than “Water” or “Alcohol”, then select “Other” from the available list. • Press < Temperature> i key and specify the temperature of the auxiliary liquid [°C]. Accept inserted value by pressing key.
• On carrying out the third measurement, the scale automatically determines the density of the porous body, and indicates the result on terminal’s display. If the user needs a report from the density determination process, it can be printed on a plugged printer by pressing completed, • key.

34. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL 34.1. General information A. A character protocol scale-terminal has been designed for communication between RADWAG scales and external devices via RS-232 interface. B. It consists of commands sent from an external device to the scale and a responses from a scale. C. Responses are sent every time after receiving a command (reaction for any command). D. Using commands allows users to receive some information about the state of scale and/or influence the operation e.g.
Notice: 1. Each command have to be terminated in CR LF; 2. The best Policy for communication is not sending another command until the former answer has been received. 34.3.

42. APPENDIX C – Label template A label template can be created in 2 ways: • From the terminal level using variables, • Using PC software EDYTOR ETYKIET R02. A created project needs to be saved as an „lb” file then copied on a pendrive that can be connected to the terminal. Finally transfer the file to the database in the scale. While a label is in the database of labels it can be ascribed to products or/and clients in order to work in labelling mode. 42.1.
42.2. Designing a label on a computer Example: Let us create a label template for the label below: Notice: The installer of EDYTOR ETYKIET R02 is accessible to download on website: www.radwag.com. on the overlap: Products / Measuring indicators / PUE 7. Procedure: 1.
Notice: Prior to designing a label a new project needs to be created with initial printer and label settings. A description of creating new projects can be found in instruction manual „Label Editor R02” accessible in the program menu: „Info / User manual”. Text> from the list 2. In order to add a text to the label chose < of objects and then click on the workspace of label, then window opens: 3.
5. From list chose variable type „4 Date and time” and press , then the variable is placed in the table of variables show below. 6. Confirm it by pressing placed on the label. , then the variable is automatically 7. Place the rest of variables and constant texts on the label in the same way, 8. In order to put an image on the label chose < Image> from the list of objects and then click on the workspace of label, then window opens: 9.
11. Chose from the list e.g. EAN-13. 12. Chose from list item „7 Net mass in adjustment unit” , then the variable is placed in the table and press of variables show below. 13. In column type:V6.3 (mass in EAN13 as a 6-digit code with 3 decimal places). 14. Confirm the entered item by pressing is automatically placed on the label. , then the barcode 15. Save the created pattern chosing from the menu „File / Export *.lb”. Notice: Recorded templates of labels in files with *.
42.3. Saving label templates in the scale Procedure: • A label template *.lb created in EDYTOR ETYKIET R02 needs to be copied to a pendrive, • Connect the pendrive to USB in the scale, • Enter: „ / Databases / and press the required item, Labels” • Enter < Label templates>, then an editing field and the screen keyboard appears, • Press , to open a window showing files on the pendrive, • Select the required *.lb file. It is automatically copied to the editing field, • Confirm the changes by pressing .
42.5. Attributing a label to a client Procedure: • Enter < • Enter < Databases> according to ch. 33 of this manual, Clients> and press the required item, • Enter < Label>, then the database of labels is open with the list of all labels, • Choose the required label. The program automatically ascribes the label to the client. 42.6.

3. Barcode scanners can send additional information apart from the expected barcode e.g. symbology (type of barcode). It is advisable to disable such information because RADWAG devices and software do not use it. 4. Some RADWAG systems can omit unnecessary information by using parameters that mark the beginning and the length of the code required to analyse. 5. A special protocol is required in order the code be received by RADWAG equipment. It is required to program an appropriate prefix and suffix.
Operation description: • Run computer program „ViewerKTP”. It starts with opening the following window: Button functions: Open a controls or average tares database Print a report View a report Scroll the list of reports one position down Scroll the list of reports one position up Go to the last report Go to the first report • Press , then window appears in which the wanted database can be located (extention *.
