before these functions will operate. The weight reading is stable if the variation in
weight is less than the programmed bAL range.
6/12 15 51214 Rev. 7
Section 3: Oper a t ion
Instrument Weighing Functions
The industry uses three terms to describe the apportionment of an object’s weight.
These terms are GROSS WEIGHT, TARE WEIGHT, and NET WEIGHT.
Example: A can of house paint is an object to be weighed.
The empty can is the 'TARE' weight,
the paint is the 'NET' weight, and
together they equal the 'GROSS' weight.
GROSS = NET + TARE
GROSS – NET = TARE
GROSS – TARE = NET
Basic Weighing
Ensure platform is empty, turn the scale ON, press the ZERO key and the display
indicates “0” and is ready for use.
Gross Weighing
1. Press the GROSS/NET key, if required, to set the display to GR (gross).
2. Press the ZERO key, if required, to set scale to “0”.
3. Place container/object on scale platform.
4. Read the gross weight on the display.
Net Weighing
1. Press the GROSS/NET key, if required, to set display to GR (gross).
2. Press the ZERO key, if required, to set scale to “0”.
3. Place container/object on scale (Tare weight).
4. Press the TARE key.
5. Place material in container or add objects (Net weight).
6. Read the net weight on the display.
Gross/Tare/Net Weighin g
1. Press the GROSS/NET key, if required, to set display to GR (gross).
2. Press the ZERO key, if required, to set scale to “0”.
3. Place container/object on scale (Tare weight).
4. Press the TARE key.
5. Place material in container or add objects (Net weight).
6. Read the net weight on the display.
7. Press the GROSS/NET key to switch to Gross and view Gross weight.

3. Press the UNITS key to return to the Gross/Net Mode and add the Weight to the
Accumulator.
The display will momentarily indicate ACCEPt then return to the Weigh Mode.
Press the B/G NET key to skip adding the Weight to the Accumulator and return to
the Weigh Mode.
The scale must return to “0” Gross mode before another accumulation can occur.
4. To continue, add the next load, press the B/G NET key until the display alternates
between the number of Accumulations "n" and the Accumulated weight.
5. Press the UNITS key to return to the Gross/Net Mode and add the Weight to the
Accumulator. The display will momentarily indicate ACCEPt then return to the Weigh
Mode.

Ethernet/IP Addressing
The Ethernet/IP module uses Dynamic addressing using DHCP for address requests
as the default. The data is transmitted continuously from this module. The IP
address may be made static by downloading the IP Configuration Tool software from
http://www.hms.se/support/support.asp?PID=368&ProductType=AnybusCompactCom.
With this utility, it is possible to change the IP, Sub Net and Gateway addresses of an
Ethernet/IP Module. To change an address, double click on the IP address field and
enter the changes.
EtherNet/IP can be easily confused as a simple combination of EtherNet and the
Internet Protocol. Instead, it is an Industrial Application Layer Protocol used for
communication between industrial control systems and their components.
Such components include Programmable Automation Controller, Logic
Controller, or an I/O System.
The “IP” in EtherNet/IP is not an abbreviation for “Internet Protocol”, but instead, it
stands for “Industrial Protocol”.

To change Menu Settings:
1. To enter MENU MODE, press and hold SELECT while turning on the printer. The
“12” and “UTILITY” LEDs will blink.
2. With the printer in the Menu Mode, press SELECT to print the complete menu.
The current default settings print out. It is recommended to use tractor fed paper.

is the center column on the Menu printout).
5. Press TOF SET to cycle through the settings available for the item you want to
change (the settings are the right-hand column on the Menu printout).
6. To continue making changes: pres s LINE FEED for the next group or press FORM
FEED for the next item. Repeat as needed until you are finished changing settings.
7. Press PITCH and MODE together to save the changes and exit the Menu Mode.
