Chapter 1: Setting up the scale METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

Setting up the scale

Please read through these operating instructions carefully and adhere to them at all times. If you discover that materials are missing or that the wrong ones have been supplied, or if you have any other problems with your scale, please refer to the dealer and salesperson concerned, or if necessary to the METTLER TOLEDO representative responsible.

1.1 Unpacking and checking contents

Remove the scale and accessories from the packaging and check the delivered items:

• Terminal and weighing platform with installed weighing plan and level indicator (certified scales only)

• Open-end wrench for leveling the weighing platform

• Operating instructions (this document)

• Special accessories (if any) as per packing list

1.2 Safety and environment

Do not use the scale in hazardous areas (unless it is clearly identified as being approved for these areas).

For service in wet areas or dusty environments, or if wet cleaning is necessary, scales with IP 65 ingress protection must be used. But even these scales must not be used in environments where there is a risk of corrosion. The scales must never be drenched or immersed in liquid.

If the power cord is damaged, the scale must no longer be operated. Therefore check the cable regularly and ensure that a free space of about 3 cm is left at the rear of the scale, so that the cable is not kinked too severely.

Never tamper with the retaining screws for the load plate support underneath the weighing pan.

When the weighing pan is removed, never insert a solid object underneath the load plate support.

Never open the scale by removing the screws in its base.

Use only approved accessories and peripherals.

Handle the scale with utmost care; it is a precision instrument. Blows on the weighing pan must be avoided, and heavy overloads must not be placed on it.

Page 9

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Setting up the scale

Important instructions when using Viper scales in the food sector: those parts of the scale can come into contact with food products have smooth surfaces and are easy to clean. The materials used do not splinter and are free from contaminants. In food processing areas, it is recommended that a protective cover (accessory) is used. This must be cleaned regularly, just like the scale itself. Damaged or heavily contaminated protective covers must be replaced immediately.

When the scale is finally taken out of service, observe the current environmental regulations. If the scale is equipped with a battery, this contains heavy metals and therefore must not be treated as normal refuse! Local regulations for disposing of environmentally hazardous substances must be complied with.

1.3 Positioning and leveling the scale

The correct location is a decisive factor in ensuring accurate weighing results.

- Choose a stable and vibration-free location (particularly important for high-resolution scales using Mettler Toledo MonoBloc technology). Place the scale on a surface that is as horizontal as possible and strong enough to bear its weight when fully loaded.

- Check the ambient conditions.

- Avoid:

- direct sunlight

- strong drafts (e.g. from fans or air conditioning systems)

- excessive temperature fluctuations.

Turn the adjustable feet so that the scale is horizontal. If a spirit level is filled, the bubble must be located within the inner circle.

Note: The Viper Smart Count has a special filter that accelerates certain procedures (zeroing, taring, determining the reference weight for piece counting) in a non-tranquil environment. This inevitably means that there is a slight loss of accuracy with the results. For high-precision results, care must be taken to ensure as tranquil and stable an environment as possible, so that the filter is not activated.

Major changes in geographical location:

Every scale is set by the manufacturer to suit the local gravitational conditions (geographical adjustment value) in the geographical zone to which the instrument is supplied. If a major change of geographical location takes place, this setting must be adjusted by a service technician or a new setting made. Certified scales must, in addition, be recalibrated in accordance with national certification regulations.

Page 10

Chapter 1: Setting up the scale METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

1.4 Connecting to power supply

Before connecting the power supply plug or AC adapter (AccuPac version), verify that the voltage stated on the model plate is the same as the local power line voltage.

Connect the power cord plug or the AC adapter plug to the supply, then connect the AC adapter (AccuPac version) via the jack at the rear of the scale.

Powering up the scale initiates a display test in which all the segments and then the software version are briefly displayed. Once the decimal zero appears in the display, the scale is ready to operate.

For maximum possible precision, adjust/calibrate the scale after installing it (Chapter 5.4.1). Note: Certified scales must be adjusted by an authorized organization. Please consult your dealer.

1.5 Battery operation

Scales with a built-in battery (AccuPac) can, under normal operation conditions, work independently of the AC power line for about 8 hours. Immediately the AC power supply is interrupted (by withdrawing the power cord plug or if there is a power failure), the scale switches automatically to battery operation. Once the AC power supply is restored, the scale reverts automatically to AC operation.

The battery symbol indicates the current discharge status of the battery (1 segment corresponding to about 25% capacity). If the symbol flashes, the battery must be recharged.

A discharged battery requires at least 8 hours until it is recharged. During the charging process, work with the scale can continue, but under these conditions, a longer charging time is needed.

The battery is protected against overcharging, and the scale can therefore remain permanently connected with the AC power line without any problems.

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 3: Enhanced functions

Enhanced functions

This Chapter describes the Smart Count features that simplify working with the application.

3.1 General Info

Smart Count provides several features which make working with the application easier.

Short Input Mode

For some Smart Count functions, it is possible to use a short-cut method of user input.

As in the example for entering the pre-tare weight in Chapter 2.5.2, the normal procedure for initiating user input is to press the function softkey first before entering the data. However, it is also possible to key in the data first prior to selecting the function the data is intended for.

1 5

This example shows how to enter the pre-tare weight using short-input mode.

While in standby mode, use the numeric keypad to enter the known tare weight in the current weighing unit.

Then press the «PT» softkey or the «ÆTÅ» key to set this value as the pretare weight.

The result is the same as in Chapter 2.5.2.

Short-input mode works with the following function softkeys:

«Ref X» The value keyed in replaces the value of X (Chapter 5.5.1) and

perform a reference weight determination using the value as reference number of pieces (Chapter 4.1.1).

«Ref n» The value keyed in will be used as the reference number of

pieces for the reference weight determination. «Ref APW» The value keyed in will be used as the average piece weight. «PT» The value keyed in will be used as the pre-tare weight.

Smart Count recognizes if the function softkey pressed is not compatible with short-input mode and will display a warning indicating so.

Page 18

Chapter 3: Enhanced functions METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

Number

The number of the article. If 'Vision Setup Æ APPLICATION Æ Database Æ Article Æ Search criterion' is set to “By number”, this parameter is used for searching in the article database.

Identification / ID1 and ID2

Additional identification parameters for the article. These parameters could be used to provide additional information about the article in the report printouts.

Page 20

Chapter 3: Enhanced functions METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

APW

Define the average piece weight of the article. It is possible to set the average piece weight for the article by performing a reference weight determination (Chapter 4.1.1) or by manually entering a known piece weight (Chapter

4.1.2).

Tare

Pre-defined tare weight for the article.

Sample size

Define the reference number of pieces. This value will override the one set in 'Vision Setup Æ APPLICATION Æ Counting Æ Ref X' (Chapter 5.5.1) while the article is active.

PW optimization

The correction factor for optimizing the piece weight. The previous value of the APW will be adjusted by this factor in relation to the new APW. Note: This works only if PW Tol+ and PW Tol- are set and the APW is within the tolerances.

PW Tol+

The upper limit for a new average piece weight. If the new piece weight is above this value, a warning will be displayed prompting the operator whether or not he wants to accept the new piece weight. Note: APW must already be defined before setting the PW Tol+, otherwise the PW Tol+ entry will be cleared.

PW Tol-

The lower limit for a new average piece weight. If the new piece weight is below this value, a warning will be displayed prompting the operator whether or not he wants to accept the new piece weight. Note: APW must already be defined before setting the PW Tol+, otherwise the PW Tol+ entry will be cleared.

Filling/checkweighing nominal

The nominal value used for the filling (Chapter 4.8) and checkweighing (Chapter 4.9) applications. It is possible to define the nominal value in pieces or as weight value. This parameter must be filled in first before defining Tol+ and Tol-.

Filling/checkweighing Tol+

The upper limit for filling (Chapter 4.8) and checkweighing (Chapter 4.9) applications. It is possible to define this parameter as an absolute value, relative to the Nominal, or as a percentage of Filling / Nominal.

Page 21

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 3: Enhanced functions

Filling/checkweighing Tol-

The lower limit for the filling (Chapter 4.8) and checkweighing (Chapter 4.9) applications. It is possible to define this parameter as an absolute value, relative to the nominal, or as a percentage of nominal.

Accumulation total net

The total net weight for the Totalisation application (0)

Accumulation total gross

The total gross weight for the Totalisation application (Chapter 4.7)

Accumulation total pcs.

The total number of pieces for the Totalisation application (Chapter 4.7)

Accumulation total lot

The total number of lots for the Totalisation application (Chapter 4.7)

3.2.3 Save As Article

In the course of working with Smart Count, you may wish to save the current state into an article. The Save As Article function makes this possible.

Define a softkey for “Save As Article” in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5).

In this example, a reference weight determination has already been performed (Chapters 4.1.1 and 4.1.2).

Press the «

» softkey once to scroll to the next set of softkeys.

Press the «SaveAs» softkey…

…Smart Count asks for the Name you wish to use for this article. From this point on, the procedure is the same as defining a normal article (Chapter

3.2.2).

Note, however, that the parameter APW is already defined and its value is set to the APW that was active before «SaveAs» was pressed.

Aside from the APW, the article parameters that will also be saved are Tare, Sample Size, the Filling/Checkweighing parameters, and the Totalisation parameters.

3.3 Backup/Restore

To make working with the article database even easier, a backup/restore program is included as a standard equipment of Viper Smart Count. This program eases data entry as articles can be defined on a standard PC which are then later restored to the scale. This program also provides a means to backup the data stored on the scale for archive or security reasons.

• Install the Backup-Restore program. (Requires MS Windows 95 or higher)

• Ensure that Viper Smart Count balance is connected to the PC via a serial interface cable. It is possible to use any of

the 3 COM ports of the balance but it is necessary to set the correct mode and parameters for the COM port. Set the respective COM settings as follows: Mode – Dialog / Baud – 38400 / Parity – 8-none / Handshake – XonXoff.

• Start up the Backup-Restore program by double-clicking the icon.

• The Backup-Restore program attempts to reserve the COM2 port of the PC. If it is not successful, e.g. COM2 is not

installed or is used by another program, an appropriate message is shown. Should this be the case, select the appropriate port in the “Interface Configuration” under the Options menu.

• To check if the PC and scale are successfully connected, select “Help / About”. An animation will indicate whether the Backup-Restore program was able to successfully communicate with the scale.

• If you have determined that the Backup-Restore program can successfully communicate with the scale, you may start the desired operation. Select either “Backup” or “Restore” from the “Transfer menu.

3.4 FlashLoader

The Viper Smart Count software is stored in flash memory and the FlashLoader program enables you to upgrade the software of your balance when updates are available.

To be able to update your software using the FlashLoader, you will need the following:

• PC with Microsoft Windows ® operating system (version 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, or XP)

• Computer-to-balance connection cable (RS232 cable, 9-pin sub-D plug m/f, order number 11101051)

• FlashLoader program

The FlashLoader program will guide you through the updating process.

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 4: Application

Application

Your scale has a number of powerful application functions that can be activated in the menu (see Chapter 5.5.1). This chapter describes the some of the functions that have been activated at the factory.

4.1 Counting pieces into a container

Place empty container on the scale and tare with the «ÆTÅ»

key.

Note: If the automatic taring function is active (Chapter 5.4.3), you need not press the «ÆTÅ»

key, because the scale registers the tare weight

automatically as soon as the container is placed on the weighing pan.

Before your scale can be used for counting parts, it must know the average piece weight (the so-called reference). The reference is then used to do the counting. The reference can be determined by placing a number of pieces on the scale. If the piece weight is known, it can be manually entered and used as the reference.

4.1.1 Determining the reference by placing pieces on the scale

Define a softkey for “Ref 10” and “Ref n” in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). After the softkeys have been defined, do the following steps:

…appears on the screen.

…place 10 pieces of materials to be weighed to determine the reference weight.

Press the «Ref 10»

key.

Page 24

Chapter 4: Application METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

A reference weight has been established.

If a different number of pieces has been placed on the scale, press the «Ref n»

key and choose from among the choices of 5, 20, 30, 40 or 50

pieces. If the number of pieces is different, choose the «Var» key and enter the desired number of pieces.

Once a reference has been determined, you can use the «Weigh» key to switch back to the weight display at any time.

Press «Count» key to switch back again to counting mode.

You can use the « » key to transmit the piece counting result via the interface to a peripheral device (printer, computer) (for sample report see Chapter 6.2).

4.1.2 Entering the reference when the piece weight is known

Define a softkey for “Ref APW” in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). After the Ref APW softkey has been defined, do the following steps:

In standby mode, press the «Ref APW»

key.

Enter piece weight, example: 0.02931 kg

Press the «OK» key.

The balance has established a known reference weight and is now ready for piece counting.

Page 25

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 4: Application

4.2 Counting out pieces out of a container

Counting out pieces from a weighing container differs in a few essentials from counting them in (Chapter 4.1).

4.2.1 Determine reference by removing pieces

…initially appears on the screen.

Place the full weighing container on the pan and tare the scale with the «ÆTÅ»

key.

… appears on the screen again.

Remove the reference number of pieces from the weighing container.

Remove further pieces until the desired number has been reached.

… a negative weight value appears on the screen.

Press the «Ref 10» or «Ref n» keys to determine the reference, as described in the previous chapter.

The balance is now ready for piece counting.

Page 26

Chapter 4: Application METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

4.3 Reference optimization

Reference optimization serves to enhance the accuracy of the average piece weight by re-calculating it using a greater number of reference pieces. Reference optimization can be performed either manually or automatically.

Manual Reference Optimization

Define a softkey for Reference Optimization in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). The Reference Optimization softkey is displayed as «RefOpt» and it will only be active while in piece counting mode. If the scale is in weighing mode, this softkey will not appear even if it is part of the softkey configuration.

To perform a reference optimization at any time, press the «RefOpt» softkey. The average piece weight will be re-calculated using the current weight and the current number of pieces on the scale. At each optimization, the message “PW Opt” appears briefly and the new total number of pieces is then displayed.

Automatic Reference Optimization

No action is required during operation for automatic reference optimization and it functions both in “Counting in” (Chapter 4.1) and “Counting out” (Chapter 4.2). The “Auto OPT” symbol (located near the lower right corner of the screen) appears in the display indicates that automatic reference optimization is switched on.

Each time you place additional parts on the scale, it optimizes automatically. You do not have to press a key to perform optimization. At each optimization, the message “PW Opt” appears briefly and the new total number of pieces is then displayed.

Note: Automatic optimization only functions if the number of additional pieces placed on the scale is not greater than the number already on the weighing pan.

4.4 Minimum reference weight

To ensure that a more accurate average piece weight is attained during reference weight determination, it is possible to set a desired minimum percentage accuracy as determined by the reference weight placed on the scale. To enable minimum reference weight checking, set 'Vision Setup Æ APPLICATION Æ Counting Æ Min. Ref. WT' (See Chapter 5.5.1) to the desired percentage accuracy.

To be able to view the percentage accuracy for a reference weight determination, set 'Vision Setup Æ APPLICATION Æ Counting Æ Accuracy Disp.' (See Chapter 5.5.1) to 'On'.

In this example, the minimum reference weight was set to 99.5% and accuracy display is active.

Page 27

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 4: Application

10 samples were placed on the scale and «Ref 10» was pressed.

Smart Count calculates the average piece weight as in Chapter 4.1.1 but it has determined that the percentage accuracy for the reference weight is below the value set as Minimum Reference Weight.

It will calculate the number of pieces that you have to place on the pan to reach the desired percentage accuracy.

After placing the specified number of pieces on the scale, the average piece weight will be optimized (Chapter 4.3) and, since accuracy display is active, the percentage accuracy will be displayed for approximately 4 seconds.

Note that in this example, the percentage accuracy is at 99.54% which is above the desired minimum reference weight of 99.5%.

Smart Count is now ready to perform piece counting using the optimized average piece weight.

It is possible to override the minimum reference weight checking by pressing the «C» key when you are prompted to add pieces on the scale. This will enable you to use the calculated piece weight, but note that a “*” appears on the display to indicate that the reference weight is below the desired percentage accuracy.

Adding mode works both with “Counting in” (Chapter 4.1) and with “Counting out” (Chapter 4.2).

4.5 Using the info key

Use the «

i» key to call up additional information as defined in the Info/Help menu under Application (Chapter 5.5.6).

In this example, Info lines 1 to 4 were configured to show the gross weight, date, time, and percentage accuracy respectively.

Pressing the «

i» key will toggle between a screen that shows the default

content of the Info lines and another window that shows the additional information configured such as the Gross Weight, Date, Time and Percentage Accuracy.

For a list of the additional information that can be displayed on the Info lines, please refer to Chapter 5.5.6.

Page 28

Chapter 4: Application METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

4.6 Piece counting with 2-scale systems

You can hook up your Viper scale to a second scale, e.g. a floor scale for counting a large number of pieces that would exceed the capacity of Viper.

In the Vision Menu select the Smart Count operating mode for connecting a second scale. See Chapter 5: Vision setup under “Communications” Æ “Com1/Com2/Com3” Æ “Mode”.

The interface of the second scale must be set as follows:

- For Viper and Spider scales: “Mode”: “Dialog” (9600 bd, 8b no parity, Xon/Xoff)

- For PB-S scales: “Mode”: “Host” (9600 bd, 8b no parity, Xon/Xoff)

- For other METTLER TOLEDO products: MT-SICS-compatible interface (9600 bd, 8b no parity, Xon/Xoff)

There are three modes that can be assigned to the second scale:

Reference The second scale is to be used for reference weight determination

only. The APW will be calculated using the weight placed on the second scale regardless of the active scale. This is used if the second scale has a finer resolution than the Smart Count scale to achieve a more precise piece weight.

Bulk The second scale is to be used as bulk weight only. The APW will

be calculated using the weight placed on the first scale (Smart Count scale), regardless of the active scale, then the weight on the second scale will be used for counting. This is used if the sample to be weighed is heavier than the maximum load of the Smart Count scale.

Auxiliary The second scale can be used as either reference or bulk scale

and the active scale will not be automatically switched after the reference weight determination.

When an interface is set to one of the three modes above, the scale switch key will be added to the softkeys. You can toggle between the two scales with the «

» key.

While in Reference or Bulk modes, you can override the source used for reference weight determination by keeping the «

» key pressed for 1 second. Info line 4 will indicate which scale will be used for reference weight determination.

The scale symbol on the top right in the display indicates the active scale: “

1” = viper scale, “ 2” = second scale.

When the second scale is active, you can zero and tare it with the Viper «Æ0Å»

and «ÆTÅ» keys, respectively.

Page 29

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 4: Application

4.7 Totalisation

If the scale is in piece counting mode, you can do several piece counts and then determine the total number of pieces weighed and their total weight. If the scale is in weighing mode, several weighings can also be accumulated to determine their total.

To print reports of the totalisation transactions, a printer should be connected to one of the COM Interfaces and the mode should be set to “Printer”.

Define a softkey for Totalisation in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). After a Totalisation softkey has been defined, do the following steps:

If a weighing container is used, it must be tared.

Determine the reference (see Chapter 4.1)

Press the «

» key to go to the next menu.

Press the «

» key to start the totalisation function.

Press the «+» key to add the current number of pieces to the total.

The quantity of the first lot has been saved in the memory. If Lot printing is active (Chapter 5.5.3) the lot number, net weight and number of pieces will be printed out automatically.

Place the desired quantity of the second lot and press the «+» key to add again.

Press the «n» key to limit the number of lots to accumulate.

If Max n is defined, it will only be possible to accumulate as many lots as the value set. Once the number of lots accumulated reaches the value of Max n, a warning will be displayed indicating that maximum items have been reached.

Page 30

Chapter 4: Application METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

Press the «Delete» key to clear all the lots from the memory. A summary report with the total number of lots, total weight, and total number of pieces will be printed out.

Press the «Undo» key to discard the last lot added.

To close the Totalisation application at any time, press the «Cancel» key. This will return the scale to standby mode but the lots accumulated will be retained in memory.

To close the Totalisation application and clear all the lots from memory, press the «C» key. This will also generate a summary report.

Note: If an article was active when the Totalisation application was started, the Totalisation parameters (Chapter 3.2.2) of the article will be updated by the transactions done with the application. That means the total net or gross weight, the total pieces, and the number of lots will be added to the values already stored in the database for the active article

4.8 Filling

The filling application simplifies weighing of small parts (e.g. liquid or powder) until a target amount or weight is reached. It provides the user a visual indication of the amount currently on the scale in relation to the target amount. If activated in the Vision Setup, the scale will also beep if the amount is already within the tolerance limits defined.

Define a softkey for Filling in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). After a Filling softkey has been defined, do the following steps:

In standby mode, press the «

» key to scroll to the next menu.

Press the «Filling» key.

In this example, Target (target weight), + Tol (positive tolerance) and – Tol (negative tolerance) have been defined. The first bar graph that appears is the coarse range indicator. The fine range, as shown by the gray area in the bar graph, depends on the tolerance limits set. As the tolerance limits are increased or decreased, the size of the fine range will also be adjusted accordingly.

Place sample to be weighed on the scale.

As soon as the weighed amount reaches the start of the fine range, a second bar graph appears that shows the fine range.

For very small tolerance limits, there will be a third-stage indicator that will appear to show the fine range.

Please refer to the Notes in Chapter 4.9 for additional information.

Page 31

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 4: Application

4.9 Checkweighing (+/-)

The checkweighing application simplifies verification of sample weights or amounts. It provides the user with visual indicators to show whether or not weight of the sample is within tolerance limits of a specified target weight or amount.

Define a softkey for Checkweighing in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). After a checkweighing (+/-) softkey has been defined, do the following steps:

In standby mode, press the «

» key to scroll to the next menu.

Press the «+/-» key.

In this example, Target (target weight), + Tol (positive tolerance) and – Tol (negative tolerance) have been defined.

Place sample to be weighed on the scale.

The indicators help the user easily verify the weight if the sample is within the targets defined.

Notes:

The Filling and CheckWeighing applications use the filling parameters stored in the article database (Chapter 3.2.2) if they are defined and if they are in the same mode (weighing or piece counting). For example, if Filling/Checkweighing Nominal is defined as weight and the scale is currently in weighing mode, it will not be possible to define Target, Tol+, and Tol- while the Filling or Checkweighing applications are active. The values for these parameters will be taken from those defined in the current article. If however, Filling/Nominal is defined as weight and the scale is in counting mode, the Filling parameters of the article will not be used and the Target, Tol+ and Tol- parameters of the Filling or Checkweighing applications will have to be defined inside the application.

Clearing the currently selected article by pressing the «C» key while in standby mode will not clear the values defined for Target, Tol+, and Tol-. To clear these parameters, the «C» has to be pressed while inside the Filling or Checkweighing applications.

4.10 Factor/Unit

The Factor/Unit weighing function allows weighing using a unit that can be defined freely.

Define a softkey for Factor/Unit in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). After a Factor/Unit softkey has been defined, do the following steps:

In standby mode, press the «

» key to scroll to the next menu.

Page 32

Chapter 4: Application METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

Press the «F/U» key.

From the main Factor/Unit screen you can define the text for the custom unit, set the factor to use for weighing, recall previous definitions, or save the current definition.

Define the text for the custom unit.

The factor can either be entered manually or can be calculated from the weight of samples placed on the balance.

To define the factor manually, press the «SetFact» softkey.

To use the automatically calculated factor, place the sample on the scale, press the «Build» softkey and enter the reference mass.

To change the resolution of the display, press the «Format» softkey and select the desired format.

You can save the factor and unit you have just defined by pressing the «Save» softkey. While in this screen, you can delete other Factor/Unit definitions you have already saved or save your current definition.

To save the current definition, press «Save» and enter the name you wish to give this definition.

You can save up to 25 Factor/Unit definitions.

To recall previous Factor/Unit definitions, press the «Recall» softkey and select the name of the Factor/Unit definition you wish to use.

Page 33

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 4: Application

4.11 Average weighing

The Average weighing function allows weighing of unstable goods (e.g. animals). It takes around 10 seconds to calculate the average weight of the load. This function also works in piece counting mode.

Define a softkey for Average weighing in the softkey configuration (See Chapter 5.5.5). After an Average weighing softkey has been defined, do the following steps:

In standby mode, press the «

» key to scroll to the next menu.

Place the load on the scale and press the «Average» key. Smart Count will then take weight readings for 10 seconds and average these weight values.

After 10 seconds, Smart Count will display the average weight of the load. Note that the ‘AVERAGE’ indicator on the upper right side of the display is visible while in Average weighing mode.

While in this mode, the weight displayed is frozen and small variations in the actual weight due to the unstable load will not be reflected on the display.

If the load changes more than 10% then the weight display will be released and Average weighing is no longer active.

Page 34

Chapter 5: Vision setup METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count

Vision setup

Vision Setup can be used to change the settings of the scale and to activate functions, thereby allowing the scale to be adapted to individual weighing needs.

Important: To avoid incorrect operation of the scale in normal use, Vision Setup can be protected with a password. The scale differentiates between a user and a supervisor. When the scale leaves the factory, the entire menu can be accessed by both user and supervisor. We therefore recommend you to define your own supervisor password as soon as you set up the scale (Chapter 5.7). This limits access by the user to a smaller number of menu items (calibration, and settings for energy-saving mode and backlighting).

Navigating through the Vision Menu is done through the six softkeys found at the bottom of the display.

The softkeys change depending on the currently selected menu item to allow the user to perform the appropriate action for the selected item.

This key selects the previous item listed on the current menu.

This key selects the next item listed on the current menu.

This key selects the first item on the next “page” of the menu. If all the items for the current menu are visible (i.e. there are four or less items for the current menu), this key is not visible.

Page 35

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 5: Vision setup

This key enters the submenu of the currently selected item. If the currently selected item does not have a submenu, this key is not visible.

This key leaves the current submenu and goes one level up. If the Vision Menu is already at the top level, pressing this key is similar to pressing «End» (see below).

This key allows the user to edit the value or setting of the currently selected item. If the currently selected item contains a submenu, this key is not visible.

Some menu items perform specific actions rather than editing. Pressing this key directs the Vision Menu to perform the action specified by the currently selected menu item.

This key can be pressed at any time to leave the Vision Menu. The Vision Menu will then prompt the user to save or discard the changes the user has made. The user may also press «Cancel» at this time to go back to the Vision Menu.

This key allows the user to get an overview of the current location within the Vision Menu structure.

5.2 Calling up the menu and entering the password

Press the «

» key and hold it down until the prompt to enter the password

appears.

User: No password required, just press the « » key.

Supervisor: Enter password (sequence of keystrokes, Chapter 5.7)

immediately and confirm with the «

» key. Otherwise after a few seconds the scale returns to weighing mode. If an incorrect password is entered, the menu cannot be called up. Note: When the scale leaves the factory, no supervisor password is defined, so when the password is requested, just

press the «

» key.

Other important information

This Chapter gives information on error messages and instructions for cleaning your scale. It also includes the declaration of conformity and technical data.

6.1 Error messages

Overload

Reduce the load on the scale or the preload.

Underload

Place weighing pan on the scale and ensure that it can move freely.

Weight reading does not stabilize

• Ensure a tranquil environment.

• Ensure that the weighing pan is free to move.

• Change the setting of the vibration adapter (Chapter 5.4.6)

Not possible to zero scale

Ensure that the zeroing is only carried out in the permissible range and not under overload or underload conditions.

Reference weight too low

The weight placed on the pan is too small to define a valid reference weight for piece counting. Place a larger number of reference pieces on the scale.

No valid value from reference scale

This message is only given when piece counting with a 2-scale system. Check the connecting cable between the scales and the interface settings.

No calibration/adjustment

Disconnect the power cord plug and then plug it in again. (If operating on the battery, switch the scale off and then on again.) If the error message reappears, calibrate/adjust the scale (Chapter 5.4.1). If this does not help, contact your dealer or local representative.

Page 67

METTLER TOLEDO Viper Smart Count Chapter 6: Other important information

Reference piece weight too small

When defining the reference weight, the scale has found that the resultant weight of one single piece is below the permissible limit. Piece counting is not possible for articles as small as this.

Unstable weight when determining the reference weight

When determining the reference weight, the reading did not stabilize, and the scale therefore cannot determine the reference weight of a single piece.

1. Ensure a tranquil environment.

2. Ensure that the weighing pan is free to move.

3. Change the setting of the vibration adapter (Chapter 5.4.6).

EAROM checksum error

Disconnect the power cord plug and then plug it in again. (If operating on the battery, switch the scale off and then on again.) If the error message reappears, contact your dealer or local representative.

Chain Tare not allowed

Chain Tare is deactivated in the Vision Menu ('Vision Setup Æ SCALE Æ Tare Æ Chain Tare'). This means it is not possible to tare the balance once there

is already a value in the tare memory.

Pushbutton Tare not allowed

The scale cannot be tared using the «ÆTÅ» key because this feature was deactivated in the Vision Setup ('Vision Setup Æ SCALE Æ Tare Æ Pushb. Tare').

Key not allowed in short input mode

The function softkey that was pressed while in Short Input Mode (Chapter

3.1) is not compatible with Short Input Mode.

Factor/Unit weighing not possible

The application Factor/Unit weighing (Chapter 4.10) cannot be started while the balance is in piece counting mode. Either press the «Weigh» key to switch to weighing mode or press «C» to clear the APW which should automatically switch the balance to weighing mode.

No valid input of reference pieces

The reference number of pieces that was entered via «Ref n» Æ «Var» or Short Input Mode Æ «Ref n» was invalid. The reference weight determination will not be performed.

Search string not found

This warning appears if the bar code reader was configured for article searching ('Vision Setup Æ COMMUNICATIONS Æ PS2 Æ BCR') and the text read in by the bar code reader was not found in the article database.
