The 880 has three modes of operation:

Normal mode

Normal mode is the weighing mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as required, and annunciators to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed.

User Setup Mode

User setup mode (accessed by pressing MENU) is used to:

• View the audit trail

• Set the time and date

• View or clear the accumulator value

• Change setpoint values

• View the current tare value

• Enter setup mode (if audit trail is enabled)

See Section 1.4.8 for more information.

1.3 Front Panel Display

Figure 1-1 shows the 880 front panel keys and the key functions assigned in normal mode. The numeric display consists of six large, 14-segment LED digits. If a negative number is displayed the first LED is used to display “-”, reducing the number of available digits to five. The symbols on the keys in Figure 1-1 (representing up, down, enter, left, right) describe the key functions assigned in setup mode. The keys are used to navigate through menus, select digits within numeric values, and increment/decrement values. See Section 2.1.3 for information about using the front panel keys in setup mode.

Key Function

Sets the current gross weight to zero. Also used to navigate to different menu levels or used to increment a number when editing a value.

Sends “on-demand” print format out the serial port, provided the conditions for standstill are met. PRINT may be displayed while the unit prints. Also used to navigate to different menus or to toggle to another digit when editing a value.

Toggles between gross and net. If a tare value has been entered or acquired, the net value is the gross weight minus the tare. Gross mode is shown by the Gross/Brutto annunciator; net mode is shown by the Net annunciator. Also used to navigate to different menu levels or to decrement a number when editing a value.

The MENU key is used to access the setup menu. Also acts as the cancel key when editing parameter values.

Switches the weight display to an alternate unit, defined in the Format menu, see Technical/Service manual for more information. Units Available: lb, kg, oz, metric ton, ton, gram. Also used to navigate to different menus or to toggle to another digit when editing a value.

Performs one of several predetermined Tare functions dependent on the mode of operation selected in the TAREFN parameter. Also acts as enter for numeric or parameter entry.

Center of Zero LED

Indicates that the current gross weight reading is within +/-

0.25 display divisions of the acquired zero, or is within the center of zero band. A display division is the resolution of the displayed weight value, or the smallest incremental increase or decrease that can be displayed or printed.

Standstill LED

Scale is at standstill or within the specified motion band. Some operations, including Zero, Tare and Printing, can only be done when the standstill LED is on.

If the other units value is neither lb or kg, then lb will be lit for the units assigned as primary, and kg will be lit for the units assigned as secondary.

lb/tn,t,oz,g,none LED

Alternate units that can be displayed include short tons (tn), metric tons (t), ounces (oz), grams (g), or NONE (no units). If the displayed units is one of these alternate units, and the other unit value is lb, then lb will be lit.

Basic 880 operations are summarized below:

1.4.1 Toggle Gross/Net Mode

1. Press to toggle the display mode between gross and net.

Net mode is available when a tare value has been entered or acquired, (NET = GROSS minus TARE). If tare has not been entered or acquired, the display remains in gross mode. LEDs next to Gross or Net indicates the current mode.

1.4.2 Toggle Units

1. Press to switch between primary and secondary units. The current units LED will be lit.

1.4.3 Zero Scale

1. In gross mode, remove all weight from the scale and wait for the LED to light.

2. Press . The LED lights to indicate the scale is zeroed.

The scale must be stable and within the configured zero range, for the scale to be zeroed. If the scale cannot be zeroed, NOZERO will display.

1.4.4 Acquire Tare

1. Place container on scale and wait for the LED to light.

2. Press to acquire the tare weight of the container. Net weight is displayed and the T LED lights to show the tare value was entered.

1.4.5 Remove Stored Tare Value

1. Remove all weight from the scale and wait for the LED to light.

2. The display should read zero and the LED should be lit, zero the scale if needed.

3. Press (or, in OIML mode ). Display shifts to gross weight and the Gross LED is lit.

If keyed tare is allowed, press to open the keyed tare prompt. To

clear the tare press again.

• Press or to increment or decrement the value.

• Press to move to the decimal point entry.

• Press or to adjust the decimal point placement.

• Press when the value is correct.

4. The display will change to the Net mode and the
