The 390HE display uses a set of LCD annunciators to

displayed. The illustration below shows these
annunciators and their meanings.
G
The displayed weight is a gross weight.
The displayed weight is a net weight.
N
Scale is at standstill or within the specified motion
band. Some operations, including zero, tare, and
printing functions, can only be done when the

lb, kg, PC
Three arrow annunciators on the right side of the
LCD display indicate the units associated with the
displayed value. The bottom arrow annunciator
(PC) is lit when the indicator is in piece count
mode. The top and middle arrows, labeled lb and
kg, show primary and secondary units, as
described below:
• If the displayed weight is in pounds, the top
arrow (lb) is lit; if kilograms, the middle
arrow (kg) is lit.
• If the primary unit of weight is pounds, the
middle (kg) arrow is lit for secondary units—
or, if the primary unit is kilograms, the top
(lb) arrow is lit for secondary units, unless the
secondary unit of weight is the same as the
primary unit.
• If neither primary nor secondary units are
pounds or kilograms, the top arrow is used as
a primary units annunciator and the middle
arrow is used as the secondary units
annunciator.
A set of replacement overlay decals is included in
the parts kit for units other than pounds and
kilograms.

COUNTING MODE KEY FUNCTIONS
NOTE: Legal-for-trade applications require product to be sold by weight rather than an equivalent parts
count. Operator access to piece count mode is disabled when the indicator is shipped from the factory. To
use piece count mode, access must be enabled when the indicator is configured.
Piece count mode is entered by pressing the
(
GROSS/NET
) key from normal weighing mode. In
count display mode, the display shows the number of
parts rather than weight, the arrow annunciator at the
right side of the LCD display points to piece count
(PC), and pressing the
PRINT
key sends the CFMT
print format data string to the serial port.
390HE counting operations are summarized below:
MODE
If the weight of the sample quantity is insufficient
for piece counting, the indicator automatically
requests the next higher sample quantity by
showing the

message again. If the sample
quantity is at maximum (100) and the sample
weight is still not sufficient, the indicator shows
the message
