1 Brief description
The SMARTBOX COUNTING program provides various ways to determine numbers of pieces, to determine proportional differences between weighing goods and to do checkweighings with +/-tolerances. Article numbers, product names, reference weights, tare weights etc. can be stored in a permanent memory and later be activated as required.
Furthermore the individual weighing samples can be totalled up, with the respective protocol-printout of the individual samples and the total.
1.1 Starting up
1.1.1 Smartbox type: External box
Please connect the RS232-interface of the balance with one of the two BUS-connectors of the Smartbox by using the included datacable. While the Smartbox is connected to the balance, CH1 of the Smartbox takes over the functions of the RS232-interface of the balance.
The second bus-connector serves as a connector for further peripheral devices.
1.1.2 Smartbox type: In balance-terminal integrated
Press the MENU/ESC key on the left side of the terminal and select the application “SMARTBOX”.

10 Counting
Using the Smartbox it is possible to count in various ways. Note : The parts which you wish to count may not vary too greatly in weight, otherwise errors will occur.
10.1 Counting with number of pieces as reference
If you do not know the unit weight of the parts, use the following procedure :
1. Place a number of parts on the balance
2. Tell the balance how many parts you have added
3. The balance will calculate the unit weight and then you can commence counting
10.1.1 Fixed reference key – without preset tare value
The simplest method of counting is counting with the fixed reference. Place 10 pieces on the balance and press the < FIX R > key. The balance will then immediately know the unit weight and you can then commence counting.
You can associate any fixed reference with the < FIX R > key using the key sequence < STO > < FIX R > Enter quantity < ENTER >.
Preparation Place container on balance Tare < T > Add reference quantity < FIX R > (positive piece count)
Counting Place article on balance
Preparation Place container with parts on balance
Tare < T > Remove reference quantity < FIX R > (negative piece count)
Counting Place article on balance

Software P00.01.01
10.1.2 Variable reference – without preset tare value
If you do not wish to operate with the predetermined fixed reference you may freely select any desired reference.
Preparation Place container on balance Tare < T > Add reference quantity
< REF > Enter reference quantity < ENTER > (positive piece count)

The reference weight can be read directly with a barcode reader. The barcode must be of type EAN 13. It must be specially coded and contain the unit weight. The reading of a specially coded barcode without prior input via the keypad will always be interpreted by the balance as < REF.W > ‘barcode’ < ENTER > (see also Section 15.5).

12 Weighing with tolerance range
Using the Smartbox it is possible to check whether the weight of an article is within a certain tolerance. For this, the nominal weight and a lower and upper limit are entered. In weighing, the sign is then illuminated if the weight is below the lower limit and the sign illuminates if
the upper limit is exceeded. If the weight is within the tolerance range, the sign will light up.
In addition, the display will show the weight.

Using the Smartbox it is possible to sum articles, print reports on individual articles and print summary reports.
13.1 Totalling and printing out
An article can be totalled using the < MEM > key. If the Add Up Setting Auto Recording is set to ‘Yes‘ in
the Configuration menu, the articles will be automatically totalled on change of load.
If the Add Up Setting Auto Print is set to ‘Yes’, the Report, associated with the Add Up Sample Report,
will be automatically printed out on totalling.
If the Add Up Setting Auto Print is set to ‘No’, the Sample Report can be printed out once with the
< PRINT > key after totalling. Subsequently, the Standard Report will again be printed out with the

14 Defining print formats
The user has the possibility to create his own print formats. For this purpose there are 15 freely definable
text lines and over 50 pre-defined text lines (measurements, results) available. These text lines can be combined in a print format and this print format can then be assigned to the PRINT key.
Furthermore, to all print formats (pre-defined and free-defined) a certain number of linefeeds can be
appended.
14.1 Storing an ASCII text line
< STO > < SHIFT > ‘ S ‘ Enter text number < ENTER > Enter text < ENTER >
There are 15 memory locations available for ASCII and HEX lines. Text Numbers from 01 to 15 are
possible. Text Number 01 will also always be used for the barcode labels.
40 characters can be entered for each memory location.

If the corresponding article is not found, the barcode read in remains in working memory as an identification number.
16.3 Reading in a reference weight with the barcode-reader
Only specially coded barcodes can be read in as a reference weight. This code contains an
identification and the reference weight in g/PCS. This label can be produced as described in Chapter 15.5. If the barcode is read in, the balance switches to the count mode and the reference will be set.
16.4 Reading in tare weight with the barcode-reader
Only specially coded barcodes can be read in as a tare weight. This code contains an identification and the tare weight in grams. This label can be produced as described in Chapter 15.4. If the barcode is read in, the manual tare of the balance will be set.

17 Reference-Balance
A balance with RS232-interface may be used as a reference balance. Normally the reference- balance will have a higher resolution than the counting-balance. The counting-balance takes more precisely determined unit weights from the reference-balance.
If more than one reference-balance is allocated to the input channels, an input channel (1….) must be supplied after the < BASE > key.
17.1 Configuring the reference-balance
The interface parameters of the counting- and reference-balances must be the same. The base unit of the reference balance must be in grams.

Data in the direct commands are separated with a Tab (Hex 09) or semicolon (;). In setting or storing an article all components of the article must always be transferred, even if not used. The numerical values may only be transferred in grams, pieces or percentages. No other weight units will be accepted. 0 g must be employed for unused numerical values. A hyphen may be used as a filler for alphanumeric values which are not used.

20 Tips and tricks
20.1 < DISP > key
If an article is in working memory, it is possible to switch the lower display between capacity-indicator and text-display.
20.2 < > key
During the info display it is possible to stop or re-display individual lines with the < > key.
20.3 < - > key
If the working memory contains a nominal value, the weight display can be switched between net weight and weight difference from nominal using the < - > key. If the difference-display is active, a circle will appear in the display.
