Operating Design

The scales in the Factory Series consist of a weighing cell and a display and control unit. Besides an AC adapter, your scale also has an interface port for connecting a printer, computer, universal remote control switch, etc.

The display and control unit and the weighing cell can be set up separately.

Where not expressly indicated otherwise, the uses described in this manual apply to verified and verifiable scale versions* (indicated by the suffix “...CE” in the model number), as well as the standard version.

Combining Applications

You can combine the use of various application programs to meet your more complicated requirements.

Press the D key to select the desired application programs.

Keys

You can operate the scale either using the keys on the terminal or from a connected PC. This manual describes operation using the keys on the terminal.

Labeled Keys

These keys always have the function indicated by their label, but are not available at all times. Availability of their functions depends on the current operating status of the scale and the menu settings.

Configuring the Printout (Config)

Purpose

You can configure individual printout formats for each application. With the formulation, totalizing and statistics application, you can also define the values to be printed on the total printout when the MR key is pressed.

In the Setup menu you can configure individual, component or total data records that contain the items available for printouts in each application. Configure these records after you have configured the applications, because some entries in the data record are applicationdependent.

Features

– Maximum items in a data record:

– Individual, component and

total records can be configured separately

– Output individual record:

Press p

Automatic printout of application data: Results from animal weighing or density application (Setup: Application 1: Density: Printout: All data) OK values from checkweighing application, time-controlled printouts, 2nd tare memory data

– Output component printout:

Totalizing, formulation or statistics by pressing M+ or M-(Setup: Application 3: ..., Printout components: On)

– Output total record:

Configured Printout

Purpose

This menu item enables you to configure individual printout formats. With the formulation, totalizing and statistics applications, you can also define the values to be included on the total printout when the MR key is pressed.

Under “Setup: Printout: Applicationdefined output: Configured printout”, you can configure individual, component or total data records that contain the items available for printouts in each application. Configure these printouts after you have configured the applications, because some entries in the data record depend on the particular application.

Features

– Maximum items in a data

record: 60

– Separate configuration of printout

formats for individual weights, components, total, backweighing and statistics

– Individual printout generation:

press the p key

Automatic printout of application data: results from animal weighing or density application (Setup menu: Application 1: Density: Printout: All data) OK values from checkweighing application, time-controlled printouts, 2nd tare memory

– Component printout:

For results from totalizing, formulation or statistics applications, press M+ or M- (Setup: Application 3: ..., Printout of individual components: On)

– Total printout: For totalizing,

formulation or statistics applications, press MR

– Backweighing printouts or records:

automatically generated after backweighing or manually by pressing the p key when the result is displayed at the end of backweighing

– Statistics printout or output:To

generate, press the p key when the statistics are displayed

Printouts for Differential Weighing:

These printouts can be generated as standard or configured (user-defined) reports.

You can configure the following printouts:

– Individual printout

– Backweighing printout

– Statistics printouts

Printouts are generated in one of two ways:

– at the request of the user by pres-

sing the

p key (print on request)

– automatically, if configured

in the Setup menu [Application parameters: Application 1:

Differential weighing:

Generate printout: Auto]

You can turn off automatic printout generation in the Setup menu [Application parameters: Application 1: Differential weighing: Generate printout: None]

Data records are deleted after you have switched to a different application or activated or deactivated an extra function in the application parameters of the Setup menu

– A new pick list for a data record is

created based on the currently active application programs and extra functions

– Printout items can be deleted

individually

– No printout is generated when the

following setting is configured: Setup: Printout: Line format:

For raw data (16 characters)

– Print item “Form feed” for footer:

Calibration/Adjustment “isoTEST”*

Purpose

Calibration is the determination of the difference between the weight readout and the true weight (mass) of a sample. Calibration does not entail making any changes within the scale.

Adjustment is the correction of this difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight (mass) of the sample, or the reduction of the difference to an allowable level within maximum permissible error limits.

Using Verified Scales as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU**:

Before using your scale as a legal measuring instrument, you must perform “internal calibration” at the place of installation after the warmup period.

* isoTEST = TEST in the U.S.

and Canada

** including the Signatories of

the Agreement on the European Economic Area

Available Features

You can start the isoTEST function at the press of a key to check a scale used as measuring, inspection and test equipment at any time. The scale is calibrated and any deviation is displayed. Press the

Start soft key

to start adjustment. If you do not wish to have the scale adjusted, press the

End soft key to cancel the isoTEST.

Your scale can be calibrated externally (Scale menu: CAL/isoTST key function; menu item Ext.

cal./adj.;factory-def. wt. or Ext. cal./adj.; user-defined wt.) or

internally (Internal

cal./adjustment).

External calibration can be performed – using a pre-set weight value

Ext. cal./adj.; factory-def. wt., or

– with a user-defined weight

Ext. cal./adj.; user-defined wt.

The adjustment can be performed – automatically following

calibration: Cal., then

auto adjust. or

– if desired, the adjustment

operation can be started manually after calibration: Cal., then

manual adjust

You can also configure whether the calibration mode – will be activated according

to the specific setting (external/internal) or

– can be selected by the user after

pressing the isoTST soft key:

Selection mode.

You can have the scale automatically display an adjustment prompt after a certain time interval has elapsed since the last calibration/adjustment or when the ambient temperature changes by a defined amount.

You can configure the scale to perform calibration and adjustment automatically (isoCAL) when the pre-set time(s) and/or temperature limit is reached:

On and

reset application and On without resetting application.

You can have the calibration/ adjustment results documented on an ISO/GMP-compliant printout or on a block printout with up to 50 adjustment sequences; see pages 158 and 162.

Determination of the Repeatability (reproTEST)

Definition

Repeatability is the ability of the scale to display identical readouts when it is loaded several times with the same weight under constant ambient conditions (also called “reproducibility”). The standard deviation for a given number of measurements is used to quantify the repeatability.

Purpose

The “reproTEST” function automatically determines the repeatability of results (based on 6 individual measurements). In this way, the scale determines one of the most important quantities in relation to the place of installation. The results are displayed with the scale’s accuracy.

Operating the Scale: FCA

Preparation

To calculate a piece count, the average weight of one piece must be known. This average piece weight can be entered into the Counting program in one of three ways:

– Enter the average piece weight using the numeric keys and store it; – The last reference sample quantity entered is loaded and displayed when

you turn on the scale. Place the same number of parts on the scale and initialize the Counting program;

– When the automatic initialization parameter (see previous page) is on

(Setup: Printout: Application-defined output: Auto print upon initialization: All values), the scale goes into the “Counting” mode when you turn it on and loads the last average piece weight and corresponding reference sample quantity that were entered or calculated.

Reference Sample Updating

You can have the average piece weight updated during counting (with the piece count displayed) if “AWP update” is set to “manual” or “automatic” in the Setup menu. Manual updating can only be performed when the

Update soft key is displayed. Reference sample updating must be

completed before using an application program from Application 3.

The Update soft key is displayed when:

– the scale has reached stability (stability symbol displayed) – the current piece count is less than double the original piece count – the current piece count is less than 100 – the internally calculated piece count (e.g., 17.24) differs from the nearest

whole number (here: 17) by less than 0.3

Reference updating can be repeated several times with an approximately doubled piece count.

Recalculation

Purpose

With this application program you can compensate for over-poured components in formulation

If a component is over-poured when weighing in the individual formulation components, the mixture already poured cannot be used in its current composition. To avoid having to discard the materials weighed, you can adjust the proportions of the formulation to compensate for the over-pour.

When you use this application, the recalculation procedure is mainly performed by the scale.

Available Features

– Individual components (up to 99)

weighed in with a readout showing from “0” to the desired component weight

– Transaction counter shows the next

component expected

– Weighed components are stored,

followed by automatic printout and taring

– Additive weighing of components

with printout

– Toggle the display between

component weight and total formulation weight (additive mode) after first component is stored

– Stored component weight

displayed as true net weight for 2 seconds

– Enter a divisor before or during

component weighing. For example, if the formulation has a total weight of 100 g, enter the divisor 10 to weigh in a total formulation of 1,000 g

– If a component is over-poured,

you can use the recalculation function to change the amount of this component indicated in the formulation by using plus or minus keys or numeric input. A factor is then calculated by which all components amounts will then adjusted

– Recalculation factor displayed

in the text line, with a warning symbol if the factor is not equal to 1

– All components displayed with

number and the amount (by weight) to be added in follow-on filling. Components displayed in sequence by the scale

– Display of actual net weight

during follow-on filling

– After the amounts of the

components already weighed have been corrected, weighing continues according to the adjusted formulation amount. The readout is recalculated (updated) according to the divisor

– You can repeat the over-pour

correction procedure as often as necessary, in case other components are over-poured

– After follow-on (corrective) filling,

the total amount differs from that given for the formulation, but the proportion of components in relation to each other is the same

– You can have the weight printed

after each measurement

– Choose whether the current

component weight or tare value is printed after each measurement

– Individual component weights are

printed as “Compxx.”

– Press c to exit the application

program. The component memory is cleared and the sum of components printed as “S-Comp.”

– Toggle between the recalculation

program and other applications (e.g., checkweighing) by pressing D.

Calculation D

Purpose

With this application program you can calculate a weight value using an algebraic equation. This can be used, for example, to determine the gsm weight (grams per square meter) of paper.

Available Features

– You can store an equation and

configure the Setup menu to initialize this program automatically with the stored equation (Setup: ... Auto-start application when power goes on: On)

– The

o symbol is displayed to

indicate a calculated value. The equation used is displayed in the text line

– If no equation was entered, the

weight value is displayed

– Toggle between the weight

readout, equation input and display of the calculated result by pressing the

Start or Weigh

soft key (or press c to toggle between weight and calculated value)

– The are four operators

(+, –, *, /) and one factor (weight value) available when you enter an equation

– Max. equation length:

28 characters

– Pressing c will delete either

the equation or the last character entered, depending on the configuration in the Setup menu (Setup: ... Keyboard: CF function for input: Delete last character; see also “Configuring the Scale”)

– The calculated result is displayed

with the number of decimal places configured in the Setup menu. Not all decimal places are displayed if the result is longer than the display allows. If there are more digits before the decimal point than the display can show, an error message is displayed.

– The equation is stored in

non-volatile memory
