Configuring Weighing Platforms

Analog/Digital Converter (ADC)

Purpose

Adjust the parameters of the analog/digital converter to the connected load cell or weighing platform. After ADC configuration, the ADC in connection with the load sensor is defined as a scale.

Once the ADC configuration has been locked, the indicator can no longer be used to influence weighing results. The scope of functions available in the weighing instrument is defined by the A/D converter. Weighing functions that can be activated include reading weight values, taring, adjustment, reading the tare value, saving/deleting the tare entry.

Setup information

– ADC configuration is only possible when the menu access switch is open. Re-close the menu

access switch after ADC configuration.

– Before ADC configuration, you must first set whether or not the weighing platform will be

used as a standard or verifiable weighing platform.

– ADC configuration is carried out in the Service mode in the Setup menu under “

WP 1" for

the first weighing platform and “

WP 2" for the second.

– Entries made in ADC configuration will not be affected by a menu reset (returning the setup

parameters to their factory settings). See also the overview in the “Setup Menu for A/D Converter Configuration" section.

Setting Parameters for ADC Configuration

Standard or Verifiable Configurations

In ADC configuration, you must first select whether the weighing platform should be configured as a standard or verifiable (for use in legal metrology) weighing platform.

– Standard configuration “

Standard"

– Verifiable configuration “

Verifiable"

Select using the “

Q"or “q" soft key. Press the “O" soft key to confirm the setting and open

the Configuration menu.

Accuracy class

This menu item is not shown when the Standard configuration is active. When the Verifiable configuration is active (for weighing platforms verified or verifiable for use in legal metrology), only Class l/m can be selected. Activate the “

Accuracy class"

menu item, select “

Class III/IIII" and confirm your selection using the “l"

soft key.

Ranges

The capacity of the weighing platform can be divided into multiple ranges:

–“

Single-range mode":

The entire weighing range is divided into scale intervals on the basis of the lowest interval d and the maximum load.

–“

Multi-interval mode":

The “Multi-interval mode” function divides the weighing capacity into as many as four ranges, each with a different readability. Corresponding changes take place automatically. Once the scale has been tared, the highest possible resolution is available even if the weighing platform is loaded with a higher weight. This is only permitted in the accuracy classes l/m for the verifiable configuration.

–“

Multiple-range mode":

Multiple-range mode has two or three weighing ranges. When the range limit is exceeded, the scale switches into the next highest weighing range (lower resolution) and remains there. The scale can be returned to the lower weighing range (higher resolution) only by pressing the ( key and then unloading the scale.

Select the desired configuration using the “

Q" or “q" soft key. Confirm your selection using

the “

O" key. Make additional settings in the submenu: scale interval d/verification scale

interval e, minimum load (Verifiable configuration only), range limits (Multi-interval or Multiple range mode only) and maximum capacity. Confirm using the “l" soft key or cancel using “

Esc."

Scale interval d

Scale interval d indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument. The scale interval d can be entered only in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc.

When using verifiable or verified weighing platforms, the scale interval d is the same as

the verification scale interval e.

Verification scale interval e

The verification scale interval e indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument in legal metrology. The verification scale interval e can be entered only in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc. For weighing instruments of accuracy class l or m, e = d. This is why the scale interval d does not need to be entered separately. When “Standard configuration” is used, this menu item is not displayed.

Minimum capacity (min. cap.)

When “Standard configuration” is used, this menu item is not displayed. The minimum load of the connected weighing platform is entered under this menu item. The minimum load for scales of accuracy class l is 20 e and 10 e for class m. Important Note: The function of the minimum load setting is to warn operators that below this limit, the summation of tolerances might lead to significant measurement errors. In Germany, for example, initial weights below the minimum load are not allowed.

Maximum capacity (Max. cap.)

The maximum capacity is the maximum load that may be placed on the weighing instrument. When heavier weights are used the weighing instrument displays overload “H.” The scale intervals of the weighing instrument are calculated using the maximum load and the scale interval d (e.g. max. capacity = 15.000 kg, smallest scale interval d = 0.005 kg yields 3000 scale intervals). In legal metrology the total number of intervals must be no more than 3000 e, and when using multi-interval scales there must not be more than 3000 e intervals per range. In standard operation, as opposed to legal metrology, you can define a “Super Range” weighing instrument of over 3000 intervals. These parameters, however, may be influenced by physical restrictions.

Range 1, Range 2, Range 3

The range limits are entered for the individual ranges. The accuracy changes when these limits are exceeded. The following applies when entering limits: range 1 < range 2 < range 3 < maximum capacity.

This means that the weighing range can be divided into a maximum of 4 ranges. The resolution changes at intervals of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc., where the lowest resolution is the smallest scale interval entered. Set ranges that are not required for use to zero.

Available units

With this function, you can make particular weight units (weight unit x, x=1, 2) inaccessible during weighing. Available units are indicated by a * on the display (more than one can be selected).

To enable or disable a unit, select the unit by pressing the “

Q" or “q" soft key, and then

press the “l" soft key (toggle function).

Saving parameters

To save the ADC configuration, use the “

O" soft key to select “Yes" and confirm with

the “l" soft key. The device software is reset, and the scale returns to the normal weighing mode. To exit the menu without saving configuration changes, press the “

soft key.

Once these parameters have been configured, the A/D converter in conjunction with the load cell(s) is defined as a weighing instrument. The A/D converter, in conjunction with the weighing platform, can now be used like any standard weighing platform. In addition, the weight unit must be defined and the weighing platform adjusted (calibration, adjustment and linearization must be performed). For a detailed description of these procedures, see the “Adjustment in Service Mode" section.

Press the “l" soft key to confirm the changed value. The highlight bar is automatically positioned on the “

Min. cap." field.

The following values apply for the minimum load for verifiable scales:

– For class l: Min. cap. = 20 e – For class m: Min. cap. = 10 e

A verification scale interval that is changed, therefore, also affects the minimum load. Changing the verification scale interval “e" is automatically applied to the “Min. cap." You can also change this value manually:

In the example, the minimum capacity must be increased to 0.04 kg for class l.

t Press the following keys in sequence: 0.040and confirm using the “l."

y The highlight bar is automatically positioned on the “Max. cap." field.

Configuring Weighing Platforms

Entering Geographical Data for Use in Legal Metrology

Purpose

Entering geographical data allows the external adjustment of weighing equipment at a place (e.g. at the manufacturer or vendor's place of business) that is not the same as the place of installation. If the weighing equipment is adjusted at the place of installation, it is not necessary to enter geographical data. The sensitivity of weighing equipment changes depending on the place of installation as it is dependent on the on-site gravitational force – or, more precisely, on gravitational acceleration. Saving geographical data makes it possible to change the place of installation of the weighing equipment after external adjustment has been carried out. The adjustment of weighing equipment is valid at the place of installation and within a specific tolerance zone. At 3000 e this zone extends ±100 km from the set geographical latitude and ±200 m from the set elevation above sea level.

Installation Location in Germany

An exception to this is the setting for “Germany (Zone D):” If during external adjustment of weighing equipment within Germany the geographical data

– Geographical latitude: 51.00 degrees – 513 m elevation above sea level

are entered, the weighing equipment can be used throughout Germany. Gravitational acceleration for “Germany (Zone D)” is 9.810 m/s

. On delivery the geographical data for

“Germany (Zone D)” are entered in the output device. It is recommended to use the geographical data settings for “Germany (Zone D)” when

adjusting and delivering the weighing equipment within Germany. Entering exact geographical data will lead to a higher level of accuracy but will also restrict

the tolerance zone.

Setup information

– It is only possible to enter geographical data when the menu access switch is open. – When the Service mode is active, geographical data can be entered in the Setup menu under

“

WP 1" for the first weighing platform and “WP 2" for the second. Settings are made in

the “

Calibration/adjustment: Geographical data: Input

parameters" menu.

– You can enter either the “

latitude" (geographical latitude in degrees) and

“

altitude" (elevation in m above sea level) or the value for gravitational acceleration

“

gravity"

Gravitational acceleration takes precedence over the geographical latitude and elevation of the location: If it has been entered, input fields for latitude and elevation show the values “

99999.99" and “9999999" respectively. If only elevation and latitude have been

entered, “

0000000" is displayed for gravitational acceleration.

Then make sure that the geographical data for the adjustment location has been entered correctly. If no external adjustment is carried out, enter the data for the installation location. The data can be obtained from the relevant land registry or Ordnance Survey.

Procedure

t Remove the cap. t Slide the menu access switch to the left (= “open" position).

If the device is part of a verified weighing facility, this will only be possible if the verification seal is broken. The weighing equipment must then be verified again.

t Activate the Service mode, see “Service Mode." t Select weighing platform “WP 1" in the “Device Parameters" menu item. t If the “Internal" setting is not already activated (marked by “o"), select the setting

using the “

Q" or “q" soft key and confirm with “O."

y The menu for the “WP-1 INTERNAL" device parameters is displayed.

t Use the “Q" or “q" soft key to select and open the

“

Calibration/adjustment" menu using “O."

t Use the “Q" or “q" soft key to select and use “O" to open the “Geographical

data" menu.

t Use the “O" soft key to confirm “Input parameters."

Entering Geographical Latitude and Elevation

t Use the “Q" or “q" soft key to select the corresponding input field. t Enter the number via the keypad and confirm using the “l" soft key.

y The next input field is selected.

In this example, the geographical data are entered for the respective platform as a value pair “Latitude" and “Altitude." After this data was saved and the scale returned to weighing mode, this pair of values is displayed again the next time the display menu is opened. The input field for gravitational acceleration is empty.

In this example, the value for gravitational acceleration is entered for the place of installation. The fields “

Latitude" and “Altitude" are invalid. The set value is

then re-displayed after it is saved and the input menu is re-opened. If you exit the Setup menu and then open the Service mode, the set value for gravity is no longer displayed.

Configuring Weighing Platforms

Entering Gravity

t Use the “Q" or “q" soft key to select the corresponding input field. t Enter gravity in m/s

via the keypad and confirm using the “l" soft key.

Permissible value range:

9.700000 d < gravity 2 d < 9.900000

In the example shown here, the value for gravity has been changed.

Adjustment Without Weights

Purpose

In the Service menu, adjustment without weights can be carried out by entering the characteristic data of the load cells.

Adjustment without weights may not be carried out on weighing equipment used in legal metrology.

Setup information

– Adjustment without weights is only possible when the menu access switch is open in the

Service mode. – The “Nominal load" parameter must be entered in the “kg" unit. – The “Resolution" parameter must be entered in the “kg" unit and must correspond to the

scale interval “d" entered for the ADC configuration. – The “Sensitivity" parameter is entered in “mV/V" (see the data sheet for the value).

These values are converted to internal quantities.

Once the ADC configuration data have been stored (by selecting the “

Save

parameters" menu item), these parameters can no longer be read.

Procedure

using the “

Q" or “q" soft key and confirm with “O."

y The menu for the “WP-1 INTERNAL" device parameters is displayed.

t Use the “Q" or “q" soft key to select and open the

“

Configuring Weighing Platforms

y The Input menu is displayed.

Enter the nominal capacity and resolution of the load cells in kg and the sensitivity of the load cells in mV/V in the corresponding input fields. The maximum capacity is usually less than the value to be entered in the “

Adjust without weights" menu for the

nominal capacity of the load cell, as load cells carry additional weight (e.g., a weighing platform).

If the weighing platform has multiple load cells, multiply the nominal capacity accordingly. Example: The weighing platform has 4 load cells each at 50 kg.

The nominal capacity is 4 x 50 kg = 200 kg. In the example shown here, the weighing platform consists of one load cell with a maximum

capacity of 10 kg.

t Press 10.00 and confirm with the “l" soft key.

y The “Resolution" input field is selected.

The smallest digit “d" is entered in this field in “kg". The value must correspond to the “

In the example, this should be d = 0.002 kg.

t Press 0.002 and confirm with the “l" soft key.

y The “Sensitivity 1" input field is selected.

If the weighing platform has multiple load cells, enter the sensitivity either

– under “

Sensitivity 1"… “Sensitivity 4" as an individual value or

– under “

Sensitivity 1" as an average value.

If an average value is entered for all cells, or if fewer than 4 load cells are present, enter “0" in the remaining fields. Range of permitted values: 0.01…5 mV/V.

t Press 1.944, e.g. to enter a sensitivity of 1.944 mV/V. t Confirm using the “l" soft key.

Automatic Taring

The first weight on the scale that exceeds the preset minimum capacity is stored in the tare memory at stability. The values for subsequent loads are stored as weight values.

The scale returns to the initial state when the load on the scale is less than 50% of the minimum load. Operating menu setting: “

Application parameters:

Autotare 1st weight:Yes"

Operation

Minimum load for automatic taring and automatic printing

To tare container weights automatically, you need to set a minimum load in the Setup menu, under:

“

Application parameters:Min. load f. auto.

taring/printout:o 10 digits"

You can set the following for the minimum load: 1 digit (no minimum load)

2 digits 5 digits 10 digits 20 digits 50 digits 100 digits 200 digits 500 digits 1000 digits

The “digits" here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing platform. If the interval is 1 g and 1000 digits are required, the minimum load is 1000 g (1000 intervals).

If the weighing platform interval is 5 g and the same number of digits as above are required, the minimum load is 5000 g.

Once the minimum load has been exceeded, the weighing platform is tared automatically and/or an automatic printout is generated.

Automatic Printing

The first weight value that exceeds the minimum load is printed. If the menu item is also activated for automatic taring, it is only tared when the minimum load is exceeded. In this case, an automatic printout would only be generated when the second weight value exceeds the minimum load. Setting in the Setup menu:

Calibration and Adjustment

Purpose

Perform calibration to determine the difference between the value displayed and the actual weight on the platform. Calibration does not entail making any changes within the weighing equipment.

During adjustment, the difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight of a sample is corrected, or is reduced to an allowable level within maximum permissible error limits.

Configuration for Use in Legal Metrology

Configuration of the weighing instrument for use in legal metrology is set by a switch. The switch is located on the back of the weighing platform and covered by a protective cap.

Using a verified scale in legal metrology in the EU: The Type-Approval Certificate for verified scales is only valid for non-automatic weighing

instruments. For automatic operation with or without additional, integrated equipment, please follow the applicable national regulations for the installation location.

Externally connected IS scales

Before use in legal metrology, the scale should be calibrated via the internal calibration equipment at the installation location: see chapter “Configuring Weighing Platforms, section “Internal Calibration/Adjustment."

The temperature range (°C) listed on the ID label should not be exceeded during operation.

For Servicing

External calibration for verified scales of accuracy class l:

– External calibration is blocked in legal metrology (switch cover is sealed) – External calibration is only possible by removing the seal.

If the seal is broken, the validity of verification will become void and you must have your scale re-verified.

Using a verified scale in legal metrology with internal calibration equipment:

t Before use in legal metrology, the “internal calibration" function should be carried out at the

installation location:

Opening the menu access switch

The menu access switch is located on the back of the indicator right next to the weighing platform connection.

t Remove the cap. t Slide the switch to the left (= “open" position, for use in legal metrology).

You can determine the position of the switch in the Setup menu under “Info:WP."

SQmin Function

Purpose

To display the allowable minimum sample quantity “SQmin” (sample quantity minimum) in accordance with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). According to USP guidelines, the uncertainty of measurement may not exceed 0.1% of the sample quantity when substances are weighed with the highest degree of accuracy for volume determination. This additional function ensures that weighing results lie within defined tolerance limits corresponding to the requirements of your quality assurance system.

System Requirements

The scale must be set up by a service technician to be able to use the SQmin function. The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity and set this on your balance using your QA system's guidelines. He will document this setting via a “Weighing module test as per USP" certificate in which the measurements and min. sample quantity are logged. The SQmin function ensures that the weighing results correspond to USP guidelines. These SQmin settings cannot be changed by the user.

Features

– Displaying the minimum sample quality: The value is displayed in the text line for

4 seconds after pressing the k key.

– If the minimum sample quantity has not been reached: The

ksymbol

is displayed and weight values are marked with a “!" in the printout.

Setting the SBI Data Output

Data output settings can be made in the Setup menu under “Data

communications:SBI:Data output."

The following options are available: – The displayed value, with or without stability check – Automatic output of the displayed value, either with or without stability check,

or automatically at defined intervals – Output of a printout as configured in the “

Device parameters:

Config. printout:Printer 1" or “Printer 2" (see next page).

You can define the printout content by specifying which blocks of information are to be

included (see “Configuring Printouts”).

In general, the current display value is output (weight with unit, calculated value,

alphanumeric display) unless you configure a user-definable data record.

Generally, data is output only after the weighing instrument has stabilized (factory

setting). Here you can define whether data is output on request or automatically, at

stability or without stability check; and configure a user-defined printout. The data

output for “without stability" must be set accordingly (SBI: Data output).

If you select time-dependent automatic printout, you need to define the print interval

(in display updates) as well.

Each line of a printout can contain up to 20 characters. The first 6 characters, called the

“data header”, identify the subsequent value. Only 14 characters are available if you

disable the header. This is carried out in the “Line format" menu item (see also “Setup

Overview" in “Configuration").

Automatic Data Output (SBI)

You can have the weight readout printed automatically

). This printout can be generated

after a certain number of display updates

). You can also configure whether or not the

auto-print function is dependent on the stability of the scale

). The display update frequency depends on both the scale model and the operating status. Examples:

N + 153.00 g Net weight Stat Display blank Stat L Display underload Stat H Display overload

"Data output" setting:

1) 3

)Automatic, without stability or automatic with stability.

Factory setting: Manual after stability; i.e., automatic data output function off.

) Time-dependent automatic data output:

Interval: 1, 2, 10 or 100 display updates Factory setting: 1 display update

Data Input Format

You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands controlling weighing instrument functions and applications via the interface port.

All commands use the same data input format. They begin with the ESC (ASCII: 27) character and end with a carriage return CR (ASCII: 13) and LF (ASCII: 10). The total length of a command is anywhere from 4 characters (1 command character between the start and end described above) to a max. of 7 characters (4 command characters). This number can also be higher when sending texts.

The commands listed in the following table must each be supplemented with ESC ... CR LF.

Example

The command character for output is “P" (“output to Port"). To trigger this command, send the string: “ESC P CR LF”.

Data Interfaces

There are several actions that generate the command for outputting data to the printer port:

– Pressing the p key.

If the operating menu is active, all menu settings under the active menu level are printed.

– In some applications, pressing a given key (e. g., to save a value or start a routine) also

generates a print command, or it is generated automatically depending on the application configuration. In this case, a configurable printout is generated with application-specific data.

The P and l symbols are displayed when data is being output to the printer port.

Configuring a Printout

A printout can be configured in the Setup menu under “Device parameters:

Config. printout." This should be carried out after configuring the

application since some data in the printout is application-dependent. You can configure a separate printout for each interface. Each printout is comprised of

different information blocks that can be activated or deactivated via multiple selection in the menu.

For the “Totalizing" and “Net-total Formulation" applications, the totalizing/results printout can be configured independent of the individual/component printout.

The individual information blocks are shown below with detailed explanations. Samples of complete printouts are provided following the end of this section.

Headers

2 headers each with a max. of 20 characters are available (e. g. for printing the company name). Print image example:

ACE HARDWARE

GOETTINGEN

Date/Time

Print image example:

21.01.2010 16:02

To maintain a uniform time (e. g. for documentation within a complete automatic system), the printing of the time can be suppressed in “

Device parameters:

Config. printout:Date/time." When you set “Date only,"

the time can be added, e. g. from a superordinate control in order to always have the same time throughout the system. This setting is mainly designed for communication with a PC.

Identifiers

Use the “

ID" soft key to enter text in the named IDs via the keypad.

100

Application Initialization Data

Which data is included in this block depends on the active application. In the “Counting" application, for example, the reference sample quantity and reference weight are printed (plus a blank line). "Counting" print block example:

nRef 10 pcs wRef + 0.035 kg

Scale Identification

Print image example for weighing platform serial number:

Ser.no. 1234567890

Scale Identification

This content is application-dependent. If provided in the application, the gross, net and tare weights are usually printed, followed by a blank line. This block is terminated by a dotted line. “Counting" application print image example:

G# + 1.402 kg T + 0.200 kg N + 1.202 kg

Qnt 34 pcs

--------------------

GMP-compliant printouts

When this function, the printout is supplemented with a GMP header and a GMP footer (GMP: “Good Manufacturing Practice”).

If the GMP-compliant printout is activated, the A symbol remains displayed until the GMP footer is printed.

Setting: Setup menu under “

Device parameters:Config.

printout:ISO/GLP/GMP- printout."

You can choose from the following settings: – GMP-compliant printout off (factory setting) – GMP-compliant printout for multiple application results

The GMP header is included from the first printout generated subsequent to the

activation of the GMP printout.

The GMP footer is printed after several measurement results by pressing and holding

the p key, e.g. for component printing (menu item “For multiple application results").

In this case, the

T symbol remains visible until the GMP footer is printed.

If you toggle to a different platform while a GMP printout of several measured results

is being generated, the GMP footer for the platform used up to that point is generated

when you press the n key. The GMP header for the other platform is included on the

next printout generated.

A GMP-compliant printout is generated automatically at the conclusion of calibration/

adjustment and linearization routines, as well as when you set or delete a preload.

If you use a label printer for GMP-compliant printouts, you may find that a single label is

not long enough for the data printed. If this is the case, you can activate the automatic

form feed after each printout of a GMP header and measurement results. The following

provides sample GMP headers and footers (see “Sample Printouts").
