1. Introduction

The 5230 Truck Weighing indicator is designed to handle commonly used truck weighing functions without the need for an expensive data handling printer or the complexity of a PC based system. The dedicated keypad helps with the logical steps to perform required functions required on most sites.

Storing or printing first weights and printing full dockets with Truck, Product and Destination IDs makes the 5230 the ideal indicator for weighbridge controls. An optional 5230 Viewer package is also available to make programming the information into the 5230 easier.

The unit is capable of a one only weighing or it can accommodate up to 10 axle weighings. A Variable Multi-Axle option is available to allow for weighings where the number of axles in the first weighing differs from the second weighing. An automatic weighing function has also been included in the 5230 to allow axle weighing to be performed with only one visit to the indicator.

1.1. Audience

This Manual is aimed at the designer or installer who is familiar with the operation and setup of the 5230.

1.2. Scope

This manual provides information on some of the most commonly used functions of a weighbridge operation. It also provides information on how to individualise the system to suit customer requirements.

These examples in this manual represent only a sample of the full capabilities of the 5230 Truck Weigher. Refer to the 5230 Reference Manual for full details on operation and setup.

1.3. Manuals

For more information on the 5230 Truck Weigher, refer to the 5230 Digital Indicator Reference Manual, 5230 Quick Start Manual, 5230 Operator Manual or the 5230 Communications Manual (available from www.rinstum.com).

2. Preliminary Functions

This section and the following sections in this manual provide information on setting up specific aspects of the most commonly used functions for the 5230 (using the keypad).

It is assumed that the user has knowledge of the 5230 and that some menu options have been previously set (eg. BUILD).

Note: Creating IDs and altering most setup functions of the 5320 can also be performed with the optional Rinstrum 5320 Viewer. The Viewer allows setup and data to be transferred via a computer.

IDs: Truck IDs are required to perform weighing functions. Depending on the requirements, Product and Destination IDs may also be required. The following sections describe methods for creating each ID. The auxiliary display will reflect the type of ID being created (ie. Truck=TRK, Product=PRO or Destination=DST).

Reference Number: In each example the print tickets identify a reference number, (ie. 999999). Refer to Section 2.3 - Altering the Reference ID page 6.

6. Batch Process Single Weighing (In-Out)

With Batch Process Single Weighing the batching is performed directly on the weighbridge. The operation allows a truck to be tared off and, via the optional outputs, a silo can be controlled to dump a specified amount of product into a truck while it is still on the weighbridge.

6.1. Operation

Batch Process Weighing

• The truck should be on the scale.

• Press the <REMOTE> key (previously defined in Setup as a FILL input) .

• Press <ACCEPT/OK> to accept the target weight.

• The FILL prompt will flash on the display, alternating with the current weight.

• Press the <REMOTE> key (FILL input) again. This starts the fill process (assuming interlocks

are in place and the minimum weight is on the scale).

• The message FIRST STORED displays to indicate the truck weight has been stored. The accepted IDs will then flash on the display, alternating with the current weight.

• The filling procedure runs and the Range/Output Display will reflect the current configuration.

• To pause the batch operation press the <REMOTE> key (FILL input). The message PAUSE

OPER displays alternately with the last accepted ID and the current weight. Another press of the same <REMOTE> key will restart the operation.

• To abort the batch operation, press the <ESC/C> key for two seconds.

7. Multiple Axle Weighing (In-Out)

A Multiple Axle Weighing allows up to 10 axles of a vehicle to be weighed and the weights stored as a first weight. These weights can be printed if required. With the first and second weighings, the number axles on the vehicle must be the same. When the second weighing is performed, the difference between the first and second weight is registered as the net weight. The vehicle can be either fully loaded or empty on the first weighing.

Fixed printouts are available to give all details of the transaction. As well as logging the Truck ID, a Product ID, Destination ID and axle weights can also be logged on the printout. The Totals for Truck, Product and Destination IDs are available on the front display and also through the printer port.

8. Variable Axle Weighing (In-Out)

A Variable Axle Weighing allows up to 10 axles of a vehicle to be weighed and the weights stored as a first weight. These weights can be printed if required. With the first and second weighings, the number axles on the vehicle may be different (eg. due to retractable axles, or in the case of logging industries, where the boggy is carried on the back of the prime mover when not loaded). When the second weighing is performed, the difference between the first and second weight is registered as the net weight. The vehicle can be either fully loaded or empty on the first weighing.
