1.2 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

GRAPHIC DISPLAY

The GI430 terminal has a graphic display.

PASSWORD

All programming functions protected via password.

CODE ARCHIVE MANAGEMENT

You may manage an archive of up to 2000 entries.

These archives are used to manage 4 types of code (500 configurable records per code)

For example, Company, Material, Transport, Destination. In addition, it is possible to program a specific name for each code, configurable

within the database menu.

REGISTRY MANAGEMENT

The equipment also has a archive of 500 configurable records for registrations, with editable names.

Size

Weight

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

You may store up to 4500 weights; the number of records is calculated as this quantity, minus the registry numbers used in the codes of

the separate files.

When the maximum number of registry numbers are assigned to each code, the available storage is 2000 weights.

MANAGEMENT OF STORED TARES

You may manage up to 500 tares. (This is configurable)

MANAGEMENT OF LORRIES IN TRANSIT

You may manage up to 200 lorries in transit.

TYPES OF WEIGHTS

It is possible to execute one of the following types of weights:

▪ input weight

▪ output weight

▪ weight with stored tare (single weighing)

PRINTERS

The peripherals supported for printing are the following:

▪ thermal printer, 24 type columns plus2B (COM1 o COM2)

▪ (Internal printers should always be connected to COM1)

▪ continuous tape printer, 80 type columns LX350 (COM1 o COM2)

▪ 40-column type ticket printer ESC/POS/TM295 (COM1 o COM2)

▪ Thermal printer BTPR990 (COM 1 O COM 2)

All peripherals can be enabled or disabled for the various prints via the settings menu. The prints available are as follows:

▪ Input printing

▪ Output printing

▪ Printing with manual tare

▪ Print CODES file

▪ Print REGISTRATIONS file

▪ Print file of all weights taken

▪ General printing

▪ Print lorries in transit

STANDARD PERSONAL COMPUTER KEYBOARD

To configure the terminal, you can connect a standard USB computer keyboard.

This is very useful when it is necessary to enter alphanumeric characters into the configuration (ticket headers, clients names...)

MAXIDISPLAY RP100 MANAGEMENT

▪ Connection via RS-232, RS-485 or Ethernet

▪ Transmission of net weight

TICKET FORMAT

You may select the printing fields associated with first-weight, second-weight and single-weight tickets.

I/O ADDRESS

Allows you to manage an indicator light placed at the scale opening (OUT1) to indicate that the scale is occupied and therefore not

available for weighing operations.
It also allows you to manage an indicator light at the scale exit (OUT2) to indicate the end of the weighing / scale output process.

If the i-button is being used, the indicator will show the correct reading (OUT3), and in the event of any error (data not present, or a

weight error) the emergency indicator (OUT4) will activate.

GI430 | EN | USER MANUAL

DSD MEMORY

It is possible to implement the lorry-weighing operation with the additional panel that performs the FISCAL MEMORY function. This

involves archiving all the weight values transmitted to a computer via the COM serial channel or ETHERNET, for further processing or

integration via PC. (As a control with regard to the data printed by the PC).

Each archived weight is associated with a two-digit ID code. The stored value can be viewed on the screen of the indicator by entering the

ID, or by entering a command on the PC.

The ID has the following format: <Unique code number>-<Weight number>

Unique code number: a 5-digit number ranging from 0 to 99999, which increases for each 400,000 weights memorised.
Weight number: a 6-digit number ranging from 0 to 399999, which increases for each weight memorised.

Entering the command “PID” on a PC will cause the weight ID, gross weight and tare weight to be recorded and accurately identified

during weighing, as long as the platform is stable and the gross weight is non-negative and greater than the minimum weight.

1.3 KEYBOARD AND FUNCTIONS

The keyboard, located on the front of the device, is of the membrane type and has 24 keys.

Its arrangement can be seen in figure

1.4 DISPLAY

The indicator consists of a graphic display which you can see in figure

Figure.1 Display status

Figure 2 the top right shows the date and time

Figura 3

The upper section states the maximum capacity value of the scale, the minimum capacity value of the scale, the number corre­sponding to E, and the weighing range (w).

The same area will also display and indicate instances of MANUAL TARE o MEMORIZED TARE: MAN

The stability and zero icons will then be activated once the weight of the scale is stable, and will indicate the weight at the same
time when the scale returns to the value 0, without any weight.
Just below and occupying the full width is the main weighing indicator, which shows the weight of the scale.

The following shows the area of the records on the database. During
weighing, this section is used for entering data (registration, company,
product, etc ...)

Lastly, the icons that assign functionality to the context keys will
appear.

1.5.1 INDICATOR ACTIVATION

The indicator lights up using the button on the front panel of the computer keyboard once you are connected to the electricity

network. Before using the equipment, it is best to let it stabilise for a while. This is especially important when performing a

calibration. In this case it is advisable to wait for about 30 minutes. In order to avoid warm-up times and possible condensation in

the event of significant external temperature changes, the equipment can be left permanently connected.

1.5.2 WEIGHT DISPLAY

Upon loading the platform, the weight of the scales will be indicated on the graphic display

1.5.3 ZERO ( , F10)

The indicator has a manual reset. If the key is pressed, the indicator will capture the current weight value as system zero, as long
as the current value displayed is within the supported range.

GI430 | EN | USER MANUAL

1.5.4 TARE

There are different types of tare that are described in the following sections.

1.5.4.1 NORMAL TARE , F11 on the USB keyboard

When the tare key is pressed, the current value of the indicator is taken as the tare
and the weight display changes to zero. To the right of the weight the word NET will
be displayed, indicating that the weight shown is now net weight.

1.5.4.2 MANUAL TARE

Press orF2 on the USB keyboard and indicate the value of the tare

using the numeric keys. Confirm with .

You will see the message
been entered manually. You will also see the alert NET next to the weight, indicat-

ing that the weight shown is now the net weight.
