PASSWORD 19: SETTING PROCEDURE
1
ADDRESS (Range: 1-255; Default: 3)
ADDRESS is an identification code
which allows the indicator to be
connected by RF only with those
devices that use the same address
to communicate, without
interference with other devices
using different addresses.
The change of the parameter has to
be done with the MINUS and PLUS
keys.
To confirm and go on to the next
parameter, press the ENTER key or
press at the same time the PARTIAL
and TOTAL keys.
2
MOTION (Range: 0-999; Default:

MOTION is an alarm that signals
sudden weight changes that can
damage the system.
If it is active, check the installation,
the state of the weight system and
the calibration settings.
The change of the parameter has to
be done with the MINUS and PLUS
keys.

“-PERC ALARM-“: WEIGHT
DEVIATION ALARM (%) (Range: 050; Default:10)
Setting of the percentage of weight
deviation necessary to activate the
sound alarm which controls the
weighing, corresponds to the
activation of the pre-alarm phase
(intermittent acoustic signal).
This is the pre-alarm phase and the
sound signal is working in an
intermittent way. By setting 15, the
alarm will be activated by the
deviation of 15% of the programmed
weight. For example, by setting 100
for the load/unload value and 15 for
the percentage, the value becomes
85, activating in this way the
intermittent acoustic signal.
The parameter change has to be
done with the MINUS and PLUS
keys.
Recommended setting: 15.

The zeroing of the system is a very delicate passage. It depends also on the
machine’s conditions, on the soil’s and temperature’s conditions, and on the
mechanical stresses.
In fact, if the machine is moving on a sloping surface or it is subjected to a different
range of temperature or to different mechanical conditions, it is likely that the value
displayed may change during the weighing process.
A displayed weight value of 0 Kg for a machine on a plane surface, could change
for a machine moving on a sloping surface.
PARTIAL WEIGHING
a) After zeroing the displayed weight by
pressing the PARTIAL key (while the
previously displayed value has been
stored), it is possible to load/unload
other material, starting from a fixed
value.
b) Once the load/unload phase has been
executed, another partial weighing
can be displayed, repeating all the
passages starting from the “a” or
even displaying the total weight by
pressing the TOTAL key.
The total weight is the sum of all the
partial weighing.

Now the weight “0” is displayed and
the previously displayed one is
summed up to the gross weight.
By pressing the TOTAL key, “--NET”
(NET WEIGHT) and “GROSS“
(GROSS WEIGHT) are alternatively
displayed.
The net weight is the gross weight
minus the previously stored tare.
LOAD WITH ALARM
Available in both the working modes.

The weight is displayed with a
decreasing order, despite the fact it is
loading/unloading.
Once the percentage that has been set
up with Password 19 (see PREALARM)
has been reached, the alarm signal
starts sounding in an intermittent way.
When the programmed duration of the
sound alarm, that has been set up with

a) In order to print the weight value, hold
pressed the PRINT BLOCK key for 3
seconds, as confirmed by the
message on the display “PRESS 3 TO
PRINT”. Then the indicator returns to
TOTAL WEIGHT.
Always check that the printer is properly
connected to the indicator before
proceeding on with the printing.
HOW TO STOP THE WEIGHING
Both in PARTIAL/TOTAL and in
NET/GROSS it is possible to
suspend the weighing by pushing
the key. The same key will
be pushed to resume weighing.
When the weighing is released, the
indicator recalls the value displayed
in the moment of the block.
dinamica generale® recommends to
use always this function when the
trailer is moving.
