2.1.1Front Display
Annunciators
The display annunciators are defined in Figure 2.2.
2.2Powering up the ZK830
Figure 2.2 Display annunciators
The triangular annunciators will light during operation to inform the user of the weighing
mode, active unit of measure, etc.
The ZK830/BSQ comes with a base mounted AC power supply un it (PSU) conn ected
to the back of the BSQ. This supplies the required input power of 12 to 36 VDC @
200ma minimum and is connected to a properly grounded outl et (100 VAC - 240 VAC,
50 or 60 Hz). The indicator is always ON as long as power is received.
If using the optional rechargeable battery pack mounted on the rear of the base you
can expect 16 hours of operation between charges. Recharge time is four hours using
the in-line PSU. The battery pack requires 24 to 36V to charge. The battery timer
setting can be used to turn the indicator display OFF automatically.
The ZQ-BA T can a lso be use when using the optional column. This battery can la st up
to 25 hours of continuous use or one to two weeks of occasional operation.
You can also power the indicator with a 12 to 36 VDC power su pply (15 0ma minimu m
at 24VDC) via a 2.1mm center positive barrel jack plugged into the receiver on the back
of the indicator.

The CALIBRATE menu level accesses the calibration procedure only. You can also
access the calibration menu through the Setup menu using the ADMIN password.
Some menus appear in more than one menu level. As you can see in the ta ble above,
the 111 password gives you access to three menus; User, About and Audit. The 3570
password gives you access to those three plus the Diagnostics menu. The 3088
password gives you access to those four plus the Setup menu.
This allows the supervisor to control access to some or all of the menus b ased on the
passwords shared. The menus are the same no matter which menu level you access
them from.
The menus are always explained in a sequential manner to cover all information in a
logical fashion. You will probably never access all the menu items in this manner . You
can navigate to the area of the menu that needs to be changed by using the menu
maps and key navigation legends which are inserted as a reminder with most menus.

On the initial zero calibration of the indicator to a new scale, the zero cal counts may
appear unstable. Continue to the span calibration and when completed the condition
should correct itself.
6.2 Calibration Procedure
cAL.ZEro Use this to record the zero point. Follow the menu above to
complete the zero calibration. A
c on the display denotes the
fact you are in the calibration procedure.
tEmPThis is an alternate zeroing procedure. Use this when the
product weight on the scale, such as in a tank or vessel,
appears to be inaccurate but cannot be re moved to establish
a no-load condition.
Enter the calibration procedure and select
Temp. zero. The
current weight on the scale will be temporarily assigned as the
Cal Zero value. Continue to the SPAN procedure, key in the
value of the test weights and place them on the scale and
complete the SPAN procedure. The original Cal Zero is
restored after exiting the span procedure and the current
product weight will now be correctly represented.
Due to factors that created the original inaccuracy, it may be
necessary to re-zero the scale when the tank or vessel is
empty.
LAStThis is an alternate zeroing procedure. Use this if certified test
weights placed on the scale display a slightly inaccurate
value. Be sure that the scale is at zero before the test weights
are added and enter the calibration procedure and select
Last
zero. The last acquired zero value will be assigned as the new
Cal Zero value.
Continue to the SPAN procedure without removing the test
weights. Key in the value of the test weights on the scale and
complete the SPAN procedure. The test weights will now read
accurately.

grAvitY Use this item to key in a gravity constant value. If the scale has been
calibrated at a different location that has a significantly different
gravitational factor than the installation site, and it is not possible to recalibrate with known test weights, the scale can be adjusted using this
gravity factor.

9.70000 to 9.90000), key it in here
OR
If you do not know the local gravitation factor but can
determine the approximate latitude and altitude of the
installation site, then the indicator can calculate the gravity
factor from these two values.
LAt This stands for latitude. Key in the latitude for the installation
site. The valid range is 0 to 90. A positive value works for north
or south of the equator.
ALt This stands for altitude. Key in the altitude for the installation
site. The valid range is 0 to 30,000 ft. (10000 m).
CALC This stands for calculate . Th e indica to r ca lcu lates the gravity
factor and loads this value as the gravity factor.
Be sure to save the changes when you exit the menu and test the accuracy with a
known weight.
CAUTION: Verify with local agencies if adjusting the gravity factor is accepted
in your area. It may be required that calibration be done with certified weights.

t-hoLd This stands for threshold. 0.1 is the default value. When 0 is
the threshold value, filtering is always on.
To find the best settings for your filter needs, follow steps 1 to 7.
These values will provide the best weight response for the majority of scale
installations. In adverse conditions, where wind, vibration or other conditions are
affecting the stability of the weight displayed, refer to the following instructions to
improve the performance of the indicator.
If you are using Ztools to configure your scale it will attempt to calculate
filtering based upon your capacity and division size used.
1.Using the Threshold setting is only recommend ed if the items to be weighed are
similar in weight. If the item weights vary considerably then set the threshold
value to 0 and proceed to step 2.
To determine the threshold value first set
t-hoLd to 0.0, conSt to 0, and AVg to
1.0. Return to weigh mode and, with a typical item on the scale, observe the
weight swings. Record the difference between the highest and lowest displaye d
weight values. Add 30 to 50% to this value. This is a good starting value for the
t-hoLd setting. Do not set your indicator to this value until told to in step 7.
2.Setting
To do this: Set
AVg to higher values increases the filtering effect.
t-hoLd to 0.0, conSt to 0, and AVg to 10. Check the stability of
the scale by exiting to normal weigh mode, remove all weight from the scale
and/or press
ZERO and observe the Center of Zero annunciator. If it is on all
the time your scale is stable. If the Center of Zero light blinks, more filtering is
required. Go to step 3.
3.Repeat step 2 but increase
AVg by 10.
Keep repeating steps 2 and 3 until the scale is stable or you’ve tried an
Average value up to 80. If the scale is still not stable go to step 4.
4.Setting the

t-hoLd to 0.0, conSt to 1, and AVg to 80. Check the stability of
the scale by exiting to normal weight mode and observe the Center of Zero
annunciator. If it is on all the time your scale is stable. If the Center of Zero light
blinks, more filtering is required. Go to step 5.
5.Repeat step 4 but increase the
conSt by 1. Keep repeating steps 4 and 5 until
the scale is stable or you’ve tried the entire range of Constant (10). If the scale
is still not stable, decrease your display update rate and start over at step 1
using the new, slower display rate.
6.After the
conSt value is established you may wish to lower the AVg value to
improve display response time.

iP AddrUse this to key in the static IP address of the indicator.
The IP address is the unique address for a device which is part
of an Ethernet network. IPv4 is supported by this indicator.
The address is a numeric entry in four parts or octets (###.
###. ###. ###).
The DHCP setting is oFF by default so the indicator will use the entered IP address
for connecting directly to a PC or other static IP address devices.
If DCHP setting is on the Ethernet settings must be assigned by the network DHCP
server
Key in each octet and press
ZERO to accept it.
Typically devices within a network share the same address for the first three octets
(network address) and each device will have a unique setting or value for the fourth
octet (device address).
SubnEtThe Subnet Mask address is used to divide a network into
smaller subnets. The address is a numeric entry in fo ur parts
or octets (###. ###. ###. ###).
T ypically the subnet mask addr ess is set to 255,255,255,0 which means the first three
octets in the device network are the same and only the fourth octet of the IP ad dress
is unique for each device.
Key in each octet and press
ZERO to accept it.
gAtEWAy The Gateway address allows one network a gateway to
another network. The address is a numeric entry in four parts
or octets (###. ###. ###. ###).
In most simple networks a gateway address is not used and is set to 0,0,0,0. If the
indicator is part of a network that uses an access point to another network, then a
gateway address may be required. (Consult the site IT specialist)

The Print Format Editor creates custom print formats by letting you insert ASCII
characters, scale tokens and variables into a print string. See

variables that can be used.
When you use scale tokens or variables, you must append a function number to the
token or variable. The function number used depends on whether you want to print the
Value, Name or Data Type of the token. The most common function usage is to print
the token Value but in certain situations you may want to print the token Name. The
token Data Type is reserved for special application usage.
You can also append optional parameters to a token or variable to modify the default
behavior . For example, the optional parameters allow you to change the printed format
such as the number of digits or characte rs, or use leading zeros instead of spaces, etc.
The token that is selected will determine what optional parameters are available. See

Here is an example of how to edit an existing print string.
10.2 Editing an existing print string
1.In the Admin menu, under
displayed, press
SELECT …
PrnFt 1 is displayed. This is Print Format 1.
2.Press
UNITS or PRINT to scroll until the display shows the print format number
you want to edit.
In this example we’ll use a simple gross, tare and net printout as format
1 and add a company name as the header or first line of the printout.
Refer to
Default print formats on page 99 to view the default settings for
print format number 1
3.So from
PRNFT1 press SELECT …
The first character in the print format will be displayed:
Since we want to add a header to the beginning of the printout we will
want to insert in front of string index number 1. If you wanted to add
characters or tokens in a different area of the printout then you would
scroll using the
UNITS key until the string index number you want to
insert in front of is displayed.
Setup>Ports you will find P.F.Edit. With P.F.Edit
For this example let’s add the company name
ABC Company. Start by
adding up the number of characters in the company name including any
spaces. Then add to this number the carriage return and line feed if
necessary. For this example that would be 13 characters. (example of
adding up the 13 characters)
To center the company name on a printed ticket, you must add spaces in
front of the company name. This will add to the total count of characters
to insert.

More scale token examples
Above is a typical example of using a scale token. Upon creating the token, t1 for Gross
weight, the indicator automatically appends an additional number in the next character
location. The value of the number in this next location identifies what function of the
token is being used.
Decimal 1 = 49 is the actual Gross weight value.
Decimal 2 = 50 is the token name, “Gross”, applied to that token

10.4Other scale tokens
The above token and function will output the text “Gross”
The above token and function will output the Gross weight value.
Characters 5 to 8 will remove the decimal point from the weight transmitted using an attribute
parameter. You may need to refer to the ASCII characters on page 97 for more detail on
necessary character values.
In addition to the above, you can examine the tokens available and do much more with
the data. For example suppose the Customer’s PC can’t cope with decimal point in the
weight value from the scale. We can add optional param eters after the Gross weight
token to remove the decimal point. This print format character sequence would look like
this …

necessary character values.
10.5Transmitting leading zeroes
A Customer may wish to have the data transmitted with leading zero s and not space s.

This chapter contains general information about varying topics that can assist or
educate users who are new to Avery Weigh-Tronix systems.
11.1I/O interfaces
I/O interfacing to the indicator must be tested before the indicator is sealed. Before you
attempt to connect external devices to the indicator, you must fully understand what
these interfaces are expected to do, as follows:
• Is it possible?
• Are they electrically compatible with our I/O, voltage, current, and so on?
• Are there any drawings available?
• Details of internal connections on Avery Weigh-Tronix equipment.
Consult an electrician during the connec tio n an d te stin g process.
11.1 I/O interfaces
11.1.1Inputs
Here are the things you need to do:
l Identified the terminal numbers in the indicator (for example: TB1, TB2, etc.)
l Determine if the inputs are mechanical or digital logic inputs. See note b elow.
Mechanical (remote switch) inputs receive their voltage from the identified indicator
terminal.
Digital logic inputs change st ate base d on a se condary or remote interfa ce (such as a
PLC or HMI, human-machine interface).

11.2Outputs
There are a variety of interfaces for output control:
RelayElectro-mechanical switching device capable of switching multiple
voltages or currents
Opto moduleSolid state switching device capable of switching multiple voltages
or currents
TransistorLow voltage/low current switching device , typically n ot more than
5VDC or 100mA
You must determine, from the customer, the voltage and current that will be switched.
Be sure the indicator capabilities match the customer need.
Below is an example of output wiring.

11.2.2Opto module
88ZK830 Counting Scale Service Manual
Figure 11.2 Transistor output driving an external relay
Relay Power IN signal provides protection for the transistor circuit against power
supply spikes.
There are many types of relays. Match the customer need to the relay types available.
Opto modules are available in a variety of types. Make sure that the opto in the m achine
is compatible with the customer’s voltage. There are AC optos, DC optos and optos
with reed relay contacts. As well as optos of various voltage ratings, they may be
polarity dependant.
Page 89
11.2.3Transistor outputs
Y o u must be cautions when you work with transistor output s as they usually be have in
either common emitter or common collector arrangements.
Transistor outputs usually switch low voltages and they are limited in voltage and
current so you must not exceed their values. There may be a diode for back EMF
protection (CR8 in the circuit shown in Figure 1 1.2) available. It is also possible that the
0 volts line is not isolated. Transistor outputs would have difficulty operating in a circuit
where they are expected to switch positive voltages.
11.3Diagnostics
After you have wired up the I/O use the indicator’s diagnostics to confirm that the
operation of the I/O is correct.
WARNING: AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED THE WIRING, THERE MAY BE HIGH
VOLTAGES PRESENT IN THE INDICATOR FROM CUSTOMER’S EQUIPMENT.
TREAT IT WITH CAUTION
11.3 Diagnostics
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT DURING TESTING STAGES THE I/O CANNOT
DISCHARGE ANY PRODUCT, OR CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS.
WARNING: WHATEVER TYPE OF OUTPUTS YOU ARE WORKING WITH,
ALWAYS TRY AND INSTALL A SYSTEM THAT IS FAILSAFE. THIS MEANS THAT
IF THE INDICATOR IS SWITCHED OFF, FOR ANY REASON, THE STATE OF THE
OUTPUTS WILL BE IN A POSITION TO PREVENT ANY UNWANTED MOTION.

12.1.1Explanation of width syntax for WEIGHT (integers)
Description of Value (T.x.1) represents the system value. The width of the printed value by default is base d on co nfiguratio n
items like capacity and division size used. By using syntaxes you can contro l the number of digit s printed, leading zeroes or
spaces, left or right justification and much more.
12.1.2Explanation of width syntax for WEIGHT (strings)
Name V alue (T.x.2) represents the string shown. The width of the printed value by default is the entire string shown. By using
the (W) width syntax you can control the number of characters used.
For example {GWT.2} prints
Gross and if you use the width syntax like this {GWT.2[W1]} it would print only G because you
limited the value to 1 character.
12.1.3Explanation of width syntax for UNITS OF MEASURE (strings)
Description of Value (T.x.1) represents the system value. The width of the printed value by default is base d on co nfiguratio n
items. Units of measure are as shown below without the width syntax all custom units you define are defaulted to a 2-letter
width. By using the (W) width syntax you can control the number of digits printed. When offering your own custom unit of
measure like TONS you will need to use the WIDTH syntax as follows to have all 3 letters printed to spell TON { T.UNIT .1[W3]}
