3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 UNPACKING

The ABK/AFK scales have already been adjusted to work with a platform and have been configured for this application. The platform and indicator have been calibrated as a pair and must be used together .

3.2 LOCATING

• The scales should not be placed in a location that

will reduce the accuracy.

• Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in

direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents.

• Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be

rigid and not vibrate.

• Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near

large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors.

• Do not place near vibrating machinery.

• Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation.

Avoid direct contact with water. Do not spray or immerse the scales in water.

• Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening

doors. Do not place near open windows or airconditioning vents.

•

Keep the scales clean. Do not stack material on the scales when they are not in use.

3.3 SETTING UP THE SCALES

• The pillar is attached to the base using a bracket that must be

attached to the base frame first using the 4 bolts supplied. The pillar is secured to the bracket using 2 sets of screws. The cable from the base to the indicator module is run through the tube and taken out through the support at the top. Excess cable can be stored within the tube.

• The ABK/AFK Series comes with a stainless steel platform

packed separately. Place the platform in the base.

• Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. If the scale rocks re-

adjust the feet.

• Attach the indicator module to the pillar by securing it with the 2

thumb screws provided. Attach the cable from the base to the connector on the rear of the indicator.

• Attach the power to the indicator. Press the [On/Off] key. The

software revision number will be displayed followed by a self-test showing all digits before the zero is displayed along with the unit of weight that was selected last.

A secondary function (ESC) is to return to normal operation when the scale is in a Parameter setting mode.

To switch on and switch off the indicator. The ABK/AFK will store the weighing unit in use and the check weighing values currently in memory when power is off.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 12

5.0 DISPLAYS

The LCD display will show a value and a unit to the right of the digits. In addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below or above check-weighing limits.

Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET) the scale is at zero and stable, if a value has been stored in memory or when the animal weighing function has been enabled. A battery symbols will show the state of charge of the internal battery.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 13

6.0 OPERATION

6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY

• You can press the [Z/T] key at any time to set the zero point. This

will usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show an indicator for zero.

• The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for

minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform. However you may need to press the [Z/T] key to rezero the scale if small amounts of weight are shown when the platform is empty.

6.2 TARING

• Zero the scale by pressing the [Z/T] key if necessary. The

“ZERO” indicator will be ON.

• Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be

displayed.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 14

• Press the [Z/T] key to tare the scale. The weight that was

displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The “NET” indicator will be ON. As a product is added only the net weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.

• When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If

the scale was tared just before removing the container this value is the gross weight of the container plus all products that was removed. The “ZERO” indicator will be on to indicate that the platform is back to the same condition as it was when zero was last set.

• To delete a Tare value, press [Z/T] when the pan is empty.

6.3 WEIGHING A SAMPLE

To determine the weight of a sample, first tare the empty container if it is to be used and then place the sample in the container. The display will show the net weight of the sample and the units of weight currently in use.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 15

6.4 PARTS COUNTING

If parts counting is enabled, See section 7.4, it is possible to count parts using a sample of the parts to determine average piece weight.

• Before starting, tare the weight of any container that may be used,

leaving the empty container on the scale. Place a known number of samples in the container, if used. The number should match the options for parts counting, i.e., 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces.

• When the scale is showing weight, pressing the [Pcs/] key will

start the parts counting function.

• The scale will show “P 10” asking for a sample size of 10 parts.

Change the sample size to the desired quantity by pressing the [Pcs/] key. It will cycle through the options: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and back to 10.

• Press the [Z/T] key again when the number matches the number

of parts used as the sample. As more weight is added the display will show the number of parts (Pcs).

Pressing the [Unit/] key will display the unit weight (g/pcs), pressing it second time will display the net weight (pcs and kg) and the third time, it will be the count again (pcs).

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 16

• Press the [Pcs/] key to return to normal weighing. Press the

[Pcs/] key again to start counting a different sample.

6.5 CHECK-WEIGHING

Check-weighing is a procedure to cause lamps to come on (and if enabled, an alarm to sound) when the weight on the scale meets or exceeds values stored in memory. The memory holds the last values for a high and a low limit when the power is turned off. The user can set either one limit or both as described below.

See Section 7.1 for the procedure to set the limits. The limits can be set when the scale is in weighing or parts counting modes. After limits have been set the Check-weighing function is enabled.

When a weight is placed on the scale the LED’s above the display will show if the weight is above or below the limits and the beeper will sound as described below, if the beeper is enabled (see section 7.1).

The relay outputs are open collector drivers to control an external relay. The relays will be active when the corresponding LED is on during checkweighing. The ZERO relay output will be on when the scale is showing the display is at Zero.

BOTH LIMITS SET The display will show OK

when the weight is between the limits

LOW LIMIT SET HIGH LIMIT is set to zero

The display will show LOW when the weight is less than the Low Limit. Above the Low Limit the display will show OK,

F3 bEP = bP InL . The beeper will sound when the weight is between the limits, i.e. OK

F3 bEP = bP OtL Beeper will sound if weight is outside the limits.

F3 bEP = bP InL . The beeper will be off when the weight is less than the Low Limit. Above the Low Limit the beeper will be on

F3 bEP = bP OtL The beeper will be on

HIGH LIMIT SET LOW LIMIT is set to zero

LOW IS SET GREATER THAN HIGH

The display will show OK when the weight is less than the High Limit. Above the High Limit the display will show HIGH

This condition is not allowed.

below the Low Limit F3 bEP = bP InL .

The beeper will be on when the weight is less than the High Limit. Above the High Limit the beeper will be off.

F3 bEP = bP OtL The beeper will be off when the weight is below the High Limit, on when it is above the High limit.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 18

NOTE: Weight must be more than 20 scale divisions for check weighing to

operate. Below 20 scale divisions the LED’s will not light and the beeper will not be on.

The Check-weighing function can be set up during Weighing or Parts Counting by entering values as Low or/and High Limits keyed in by the user. The limits are displayed in kg (or Lb) or pcs respectively.

Checkweighing during Parts Counting

To disable the Check-Weighing function enter zero into both limits by pressing the [Func/C] key when the current limits values are displayed during the setting procedure, then pressing [Z/T] to store the zero values.

The values set for the check-weighing will remain in memory when the weighing units or the function changes to parts counting but will not be active. The will become active again when the weighing unit or parts counting that was active at the time the limits were set is reactivated.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 19

6.6 ACCUMULATED TOTAL

• The scale can be set to accumulate manually by pressing the

[Print/M+/Esc] key or automatically when a weight is removed from the scale. See the Section 7.3 for details of setting the Parameter “C3 PRM” and “C4 Aon”. The accumulation function is available when weighing or when counting parts. However the memory is cleared if the weighing units or functions are changed.

• When the weight (or count) displayed is stored in memory the

display will show “ACC 1” and then the total in memory for 2 seconds before returning to weighing. The RS-232 interface will output to a printer or PC.

• Remove the weight, allowing the scale to return to zero and put a

second weight on. When this value is stored, the display will show “ACC 2”, then the new total and finally the value of the second weight. Repeat as necessary to add all the values needed to the memory.

• To view the total in memory press the [Print/M+/Esc] key when

there is no weight on the scale. The display will show the number of entries and the total.

• To clear the memory (set the value to zero) press the [Func/C]

key during the time the totals are being displayed.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 20

6.7 PERCENT WEIGHING

The scale can be set to perform percent weighing. See Section 7.2. The scale will use a mass on the platform as the 100% reference weight. If

the platform is empty (or the scale is tared) then the user can input a reference weight using the keypad.

• Press [Func/C]. The first option is “FunC 1”, press the [Func/C] key again display “FunC 2”.

• Press the [Z/T] key. “P1 PCt” will be displayed.

• Press [Z/T] again to enter percent weighing. The scale will set the

sample mass on the platform as 100% reference weight.

• Remove the sample weight. Then any other weight placed on the scale will be displayed as a percentage of the original sample. For example, if 3500g is placed on the scale and percent weighing is selected, the display will show 100.0%. Remove the 3500g weight and place a 3000g weight. The display will show 85.7% as 3000g is 85.7% of 3500g.

• The number of decimal points will depend on the weight used in

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 21

comparison to the capacity of the system. A smaller weight will show only “100%” while a larger weight might show “100.00%”.

• If the scale was showing zero weight when entering this function, then the user must manually enter the weight to be set as 100% as described below.

• Press the [Z/T] key. “P1 PCt” will be displayed.

• Press [Z/T] again to enter percent weighing. The scale will now accept

a value the user enters as the reference weight.

• Enter the value using the [Unit/] key and [Pcs/] key to set the values of the 100% mass.

• When set press the [Z/T] key to store the value. The display will show “0.00 %”.

• The weight entered must be greater than 50 scale divisions.

• Press [Unit/] to return to weighing.

NOTE:

The display may jump by large numbers unexpectedly if small weights are used to set as 100% reference. The scale checks if the weight is too small and will show Error 7.

Page 22

6.8 ANIMAL (D

YNAMIC)

WEIGHING

The scale can be set to animal (dynamic) weighing for weighing any items that are unstable or may move. See Section 7.4.

The scale will use a special filter to minimise the effects of any movement while the moving animal or unstable samples are on the scale.

• Press [Func/C]. The first option is “FunC 1”, press the [Func/C] key again to display “Func 2”.

• Press the [Z/T] key. “F2 PCt” will be displayed. Press the [Pcs/] key to advance to the second function, “P2 AnL”, Animal weighing.

• Press [Z/T] to enter animal weighing. The scale will change to animal weighing and allow weighing of an unstable animal or sample on the platform.

• To use the Animal Weighing function it is necessary to set the amount of filtering required for the item to be weighed. More active animals will require a higher level of filtering to give a stable result. The display will show “Flt x” where x is a value from 1 to 5. The higher the value the greater the amount of filter will be. To increment the value shown press the [Pcs/] key then press the [Z/T] key to accept it.

• The display will flash “Ani “ 2 times then show the current weight, 0.00. The scale is now ready to weigh.

| P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2011

Page 23

6.8.1ANIMAL WEIGHING PROCEDURE

• With the platform empty the display will show zero weight. Place containers or blankets onto the platform and press the [Z/T] key to zero the display. The scale may go into the animal (dynamic) weighing procedure when the items are placed on the scale but will return to showing zero when the [Z/T] key is pressed.

• Place the animal or sample to be weighed on the platform.

• The display will show the Animal/Dynamic weighing symbol until a

stable weight is determined. The time it takes for the stable value will depend upon the setting of the filter parameter in the first step.

• When a stable reading is found, the display will show this value, and the display will be locked until the [Z/T] key is pressed. The display will show the “Hold” symbol while the display is locked.

• To weigh a second subject press the [Z/T] key if necessary to zero the display, and place the next animal on the scale. The scale will detect the new weight and hold it as before.

• The scale will remain in the animal weighing mode until the [Unit/] key is pressed. Then it will return to normal weighing.

8.0 BATTERY

• The scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life can be up to 70 hours depending on the load cells used and how the backlight is used.

• When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will show less bars in the battery symbol. The battery should be charged when only the battery outline is on. Once the bars have been turned off the scale will still operate for a short time after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery.

• To charge the battery, simply plug the adaptor into the mains power. The scale does not need to be turned on.

• The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.

• Near the display is an LED to indicate the status of battery

charging. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery has a full charge. If it is Red the battery is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is being charged.

10.0 RELAY

INTERFACE

The indicator is supplied with drivers to control external relays. The drivers could be used to control a number of different relays depending upon the users need. The relay drivers are isolated outputs requiring the use of an external power supply for the relays. Also see section 3.4.3.

Contact Adam Equipment or your supplier for a relay interface that is compatible with the relay drivers, however other interfaces can be used as long as the following conditions apply.

CONNECTION OF RELAY DRIVERS

The output to drive external relays is on the circuit board inside the enclosure. To gain access you must remove the 6 screws securing the front to the rear of the case. Pass the wires for the relays through the grommet on the rear panel. The wires will connect to the PCB using the terminal strip P1.

11.0 CALIBRATION

The scale can be calibrated using the following procedure. To enter this procedure it is necessary to use Func 4 accessible using the [Func/C] key as described in section 7.4 or using the password access as described in section 12.

The ABK/AFK scales calibrate using either metric or pound weights, depending on the weighing unit in use before calibration. The display will show either "kg" or "lb" to identify the weights expected.

PROCEDURE

• Enter the calibration section using Func 4, C8 CAL or using the password as described in section 12.

• The display will show "unLoAd".

• Remove any weight from platform, when the stable symbol is on

press [Z/T].

• The display will show "Ld" the “0000XX” to show the last calibration weight used. Place this calibration weight on the scale. Press the [Z/T] key. If the weight you put on the scale does not match the value displayed, press the [Func/C] key to clear the vale then use the [Unit/] key and [Pcs/] key to set the correct value. When it is correct press [Z/T].

• If the calibration is acceptable the scale will run a self-test during which the calibration weight should be removed. If an error message “FAiL L” is shown try calibration again as a disturbance may have prevented a successful calibration.

After calibration the scale should be checked to verify the calibration is correct. If necessary repeat calibration, make sure that the scale is stable before accepting any weight.
