Verify Correctness of

Weight & Price

The HT Access System was designed as a meat room or produce back room scale. It gives you merchandising capabilities with multiple fonts, graphics, and label types.

HT Access System

All data appears on the touch screen.

Routinely verify label information. Check the multiplication of price per pound times weight, and check the scale weight against printed label weight. Weigh the same package several times to verify outcome consistency. Packages that weigh near the middle of the 0.005 lb increment will normally vary up or down by 0.005 lb. Scale weight resolution is 0.005 lb up to a weight of 12 lb. Above 12 lb the scale resolution is reduced to .01 lb. Weigher resolution is based on weigher model. The AWS weigher model can be configured for dual range(0.005) or for 0.01. The configuration is done by your local Hobart Service Representative. All other weigher models are 0.01 resolution. Contact your local Hobart Service Representative if the scale repeatedly shows errors or does not weigh accurately.
