Trooper Count Scale
3.3 Basic Counting
Read this procedure entirely before counting pieces. Piece sampling and counting can be further enhanced using menu
selections in the Count menu. There are several methods that are available for sampling.
Positive Sampling - given number of pieces are placed on the scale, the weight is divided by the number of pieces
to calculate the Average Piece Weight (APW). Additional pieces are then placed on the scale and counted and dis played.
Negative Sampling - calculates the APW when a given number of pieces are removed from the total quantity.
The APW can also be entered through the numeric keypad. As parts are placed on the scale, the count is
immediately displayed.
The Trooper Count will support positive counting or negative counting.
3.3.1 Positive Sampling
If a weighing container is to be used:
If the tare value is known, enter a Pre-Set Tare.
If the tare value is not known, place the container
on the pan and press the TARE button.
Press the SAMPLE Menu button.

3.3.2 Negative Sampling
Negative sampling permits the determination of the total quantity on the pan by removing a known number of sample
pieces. The total quantity may be placed directly on the Scale or in a container. The Trooper Count Scale automatically
calculates the remaining pieces after the sample amount is removed. When a container is used, you may enter a
preset tare weight or simply tare the empty container before starting.

3.3.5 Using Keypad to Edit Counting Data
The APW, Pre-Set Tare (PT) and the accumulated count (MR) can be viewed and edited in the DATA window. While
in weigh mode repeatedly press the Data button until the APW indicator is lit. A new APW value may be entered via
the keypad and accepted with an Enter press. PT and MR can also be similarly edited.
3.4 Library Mode
The Trooper Count scale allows the storage of part/counting data in 60 locations, designated ID 00 to ID 59. Each
location includes: part number, Average Piece Weight (APW), a pre-set tare value, over and under count values and an
accumulated piece count.
Data in the library is saved in a manner similar to a computer file. Temporary editing of the data will not affect the saved
data. When desired, the temporary edits can be saved, allowing the scale to be turned off without losing the changes.
Data in ID 00 may not be saved permanently but the data can be easily copied to another location.

3.4.5 Using the Library
To enter the Library, momentarily press the LIBRARY Save button. Use the keypad or the M+ button to enter a location
ID that you wish to use. Press the LIBRARY Save button again to select the new ID. ID XX IN USE will display indicating
that the data stored in that memory is now active. If an APW and a Preset Tare was set, placing a sample filled
container on the scale will give an immediate count.
If the Library is not locked, it is possible to edit the data in the current ID. The changes need not be saved if they were
for temporary use. If the Library is locked, you must change to ID 00 for simple counting use.
3.5 Auto Optimization
Automatic reference optimization results in a more accurate count by increasing the reference weight without the need
to count additional parts. A higher reference weight is important when there is a risk of inconsistent piece weights or if
the reference weight is close to the minimum (See section 7.1).
Auto Optimization uses an initial APW to count additional pieces that are placed on the scale. After a few seconds, the
message A-OPt appears in the Data display as the new higher reference weight is used to re-calculate the APW. The
process can be repeated as long as the additional weight is less than the previous reference weight. Once this limit is
exceeded Auto-Opt is turned off. This function can be activated or deactivated in the Count menu. The factory default
setting is on.
3.6 Auto Add Mode
Auto Add Mode is setup for a more accurate count procedure by increasing the minimum reference weight and the
minimum APW limits (see section 7.1). The scale requests additional pieces if the reference weight is less than the
recommended Auto-Add minimum weight in Table 7-2. The instructions to add these additional pieces may be ignored. This function can be activated or deactivated in the Count menu. The factory default setting is off.
Place the stipulated number of pieces on the scale
(e.g. 2 pieces). The scale then determines the new
APW based on the total pieces

menus and the Library data to be locked to restrict tampering. When a menu or the Library is locked, the data can be
viewed but not changed. To further restrict tampering, the Lock Switch on the circuit board can be set to prevent
changes to the Lockout menu. See section 5.3 for Lock Switch information.
Procedure
If you have just finished entering data in the Count
menu, press the Data button to go back to the COUNT
MENU. COUNT should be blinking. Press M- button
to advance to the LOC menu. Press the Enter button.
Navigate through the menu as explained in section
4.3.1.
LOC CAL - When set to ON, locks the CAL calibration
sub-menu. Select ON or OFF.
LOC SETUP - When set to ON, locks the SETUP submenu. Select ON or OFF.
LOC READ - When set to ON, locks the READ submenu. Select ON or OFF.
LOC PRINT - When set to ON, locks the PRINT submenu. Select ON or OFF.
LOC COUNT - When set to ON, locks the COUNT submenu. Select ON or OFF.
LOC LIB - When set to ON, locks the Library records
but still allows the accumulated memory to update (if
activated). Select ON or OFF.

Trooper Count Scale
5. CALIBRATION AND SEALING
Although your Trooper Count scale has been calibrated at the factory, many conditions may require it to be re-calibrated
when first put into use and periodically thereafter. Temperature change, geographic gravity variation, altitude change
and abuse are a few reasons why a scale may need calibration.
Span calibration uses two points to adjust the scale. One point is called the zero value where there is no weight on the
scale. The other point is the Span value that is often but not necessarily at full capacity. Trooper Count lets you choose
between three Span values. These values are shown in the table below. The highest weight value generally gives the
best performance over the entire weight range. Other span values may be chosen due to calibration weight availability
or for improved accuracy at a lower weight range.
Linearity calibration uses three points to adjust the scale. In addition to the zero and full scale values an additional point
is chosen between the two. The values are factory set and are shown in the table below. Linearity calibration should
only be performed if determined to be necessary after a Span calibration.
Before calibrating a scale first determine that it is necessary. Place available calibration masses on the scale, as each
mass is added the display should indicate the correct weight within +/- 1 scale division. If the scale is within this
tolerance there is no need to calibrate the scale.
If the scale must be calibrated, use the table below to select the calibration value(s) that will be used. Do not start the
calibration procedure until you are certain that you have the appropriate calibration masses.
Verify that the Cal menu is not locked (see section 4.9) and that the correct calibration unit (pound or kilogram) has
been chosen in the Setup menu (See section 4.5).
