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.

Operating Design

Keys

Your Factory scale is operated either
through the keys on the display and
control unit or via a connected PC.
Operation through the scale keys is
described in the following.

Function Keys (Soft Keys)

The current function of a soft key is
indicated in the bottom line of the display.

The bottom line shows symbols and/or
abbreviations to indicate soft key
functions. The abbreviations are usually
self-explanatory.

Example

isoTST: start calibration/adjustment
S ID: save ID

The function keys are numbered F1
through F6, from right to left.

The arrows shown in the footer indicate
the following functions:

oo Return to Setup menu

(in the Setup menu: save settings

and exit the Setup program)

o Go back to the higher selection level

Display

There are two fundamentally different
types of display:

– display of measured and calculated

values

– display for menu parameter settings

(setup)

Display of Measured and
Calculated Values

This display is divided into nine sections.

Line for Metrological Data:
If the scale is verified for use in legal
metrology, the following metrological
specifications are shown here:

Max Maximum capacity of the scale

Min Minimum capacity of the scale;

i.e., the minimum weight
allowed when the scale is used
in legal metrology

e Verification scale interval

of the scale

d Readability: indicates the scale

interval of the scale

R1 Displayed when e = d

through

R4 e = d

On standard scales, only

Max and d

are shown.

Line for metrological data
Bar graph

Measured value line

Text line
Soft key labels

Plus/minus sign

Unit/Stability indicator

Tare memory

Calculated value

Application pictograms

Bar Graph:
The bar graph indicates how much of the
scale’s capacity is “used up” by the current
load; during checkweighing,
t indicates the control limits.

The following symbols may be
displayed here:

0% Lower load limit

100% Upper load limit

Bar graph showing 10% intervals

- Minimum for checkweighing

= Target for checkweighing

+ Maximum for checkweighing

Plus/Minus Sign, Stability Symbol:
A plus or minus sign (F or H) is shown
here for a weight value (e.g., a calculated
value when weighing in percent) or the S
symbol, indicating that the verified or
verifiable scale has been zeroed or tared.

Measured Value Line:
This section shows the weighed or
calculated value or alphanumeric input.
Note Concerning Verified Scales Approved
for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments
in the EU*:

For verified scales that have a verification
scale interval

e not equal to the scale

interval

d, the last digit on the display

is bordered

Unit and Stability:
When the scale reaches stability, the
weight unit or calculation unit is
displayed here.

The a symbol may be displayed for
readouts on a scale verified for legal
metrology. However, these readouts can
be used only for standard applications
(not in legal metrology/not legal for trade).

* including the Signatories of the Agree-

ment on the European Economic Area

Tare Memory, Calculated Values:
The symbols displayed here indicate
when there is a value in one of the tare
memory modules or when the value
shown is a result of calculation rather
than direct measurement.

These symbols are as follows:

a Calculated value

s

1 Tare memory used by an

s

2 Application program

(e.g., formulation, second tare)

Application Pictograms:
The pictograms displayed here
indicate the application(s) selected.
The pictogram is displayed inversely
when the corresponding application
is active.

For example, the following symbols
may be displayed simultaneously:

A The counting application is

active

H Checkweighing is also active

S Print

T Data record

Text Line:
Additional information is displayed
here (e.g., operator guidance prompts,
name of the active program, etc.).

Soft Key Labels:

are indicated here; during calibration/
adjustment, this line shows up- and
down-arrows (

Q and q) for selecting

calibration and adjustment functions.

Functions” in the chapter entitled

“Operation” for a detailed description

of data output options.

* using a Zener barrier (see also page 131)

Interface Port

Instead of a printer, you may choose
to connect a different peripheral device,
e.g. a computer (PC)*. With an on-line
PC you can control both the weighing
cell and the display unit of the Factory
scale.

Request messages are sent via the
interface to initiate functions in the
weighing cell and in the display unit.
Some of the functions generate
response messages.

See the chapter entitled “Operation”
under the section on “Data Output” for
a detailed description of the interface
port.

Error Codes

If you press a key that has no function,
or which is blocked at a certain point
in an application program, this error is
indicated as follows:

– a double-beep is sounded as an acoustic

signal if the key has no function

– a double-beep is sounded and a

message is displayed for 2 seconds
in the text line if the key function
is not available at that time

The response to an operator error is
identical in all models of the Factory
series. See the chapter entitled “Error
Codes” for a detailed description.

Printout Configuration

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:

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:
