2. To check only if result is lower than or equal to LO (result ≤ LO?), set HI limit = 0,

3. To check only if result is higher than or equal to HI (result ≥ HI), set LO limit = 0,

4. To check if result is equal to a specified value, set both HI limit and LO limit = the specified value

6.11.2 To Trigger and Set Parameters for Mode 3 and Mode 4

Contact your dealer for more information.

Checkweighing mode will not operate when weight is less than 20d (or 20d1 for dual

range).

Set also F15 for desired Checkweighing buzzer output.

When F25 = Mode 1, set also F26 (Near Zero weight value).

6.12 STANDARD CHECK-WEIGHING MODE (WHEN F25 = MODE 1)31: -

This mode is used to compare the weight reading obtained with the preset HI and LO limit set to this scale. The comparison result (HI, OK or LO) will then be displayed with or without buzzer32.

If a relay module is installed, the comparison results are also sent through the relay module.

Standard checkweighing mode can be activated during the below functions mode. Bracketed are the targets to be checked under various functions.

 Weighing (weight value),  Piece Count, (number of pieces),  Percentage (percentage value),  Animal Weighing (actual weight value33).

6.13 INFLOW/OUTFLOW CONTROL LOGIC

The inflow/outflow logic mode is built-in the software to simplify the control system.

To achieve direct inflow/outflow control, LO output should be connected and used control start/stop of the inflow device; while HI output should be connected and used to start/stop of the outflow device. Refer to DIAGRAM: - INFLOW / OUTFLOW for more information of this control logic.

6.14 ABOUT NEAR ZERO VALUE (F26)

Nero zero value is useful for both dynamic weighing applications. It is used to avoid false LO signal when a load is approaching and leaving the weighing platform. HI/OK/LO comparison will only start when weight reading exceeds the near zero value entered. Refer to DIAGRAM: -NEAR ZERO VALUE for more information.

Before using this function mode, set preferred near zero weight value in F26. System will

ignore any near zero value entered which is less than 20e. If it is the case, system will use 20e as minimum near zero weight value. For static weighing application, set near zero value to zero.

Set F15 to obtain the required buzzer output configuration.

Despite the weight value is being held (frozen), this instrument will still detect continuously

the actual weight applied to the platform, compare this actual applied with the HI and LO limits set and present the comparison result based on the actual weight applied.

6.15 TO QUIT CHECKWEIGHING MODE

To quit / stop checkweighing mode, set both HI and LO limits to zero.
