1. INTRODUCTION

This manual was created to help you install and learn all about the functional possibilities of the purchased indicator.

The instrument is suitable for use in various weighing environments. Not only does it have all the normal features of high-precision scales, but it also gives you the possibility to work in specific environments due to the functioning modes contained in the software implemented in the FLASH MEMORY on the internal board; this makes the instrument extremely flexible and it can be used in many different industrial applications linked to weighing. The double numerical and interactive alphanumerical display, the alphanumerical and function keyboard, allow the operator an easy and immediate use and provide the microcontroller with DATA ENTRY functions in addition to the normal weighing functions. The input/output allows the instrument to control various external devices, to receive external commands, control a printer and communicate with a personal computer or to be inserted in a network of weight indicators controlled by a PC.

3.2 POWER SUPPLY

- The IPE100 indicator is powered with 12Vdc voltage (8 ÷ 36 Vdc in the IO version), through an internal adapter which converts the 100 ÷ 240Vac, 50÷60Hz mains voltage, and 6 Vdc, from the built-in battery (fitted depending on the model). TO POWER the instrument through the 240 Vac mains, or TO RECHARGE the battery, insert the plug and the adapter to the 240 Vac mains socket.

To connect the indicator to the power mains, the safety regulations must be observed, including the use of a "clean" line without disturbances or interference caused by other electronic equipment.

The battery inside the indicator, lasts about 25 hours (without the expansion board, with 1-cell platform) and it needs a recharging time of about 12 hours.

BATTERY FEATURES

Material LEAD

Power 4,5 Ah Voltage 6 V

THE BATTERY MUST BE SUPPLIED DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

NOTE: it is advisable to completely recharge it (12 hours) in the first installation of the instrument; we

RECOMMEND disconnecting the battery if the instrument is not going to be used for more than 30 days.

Do not connect other equipment to the same socket as the one that the adapter is in. Do not step on or crush the power supply cable

3.3 START UP

TO TURN ON the IPE100 press the C key until the display turns on; then release.

The display shows:

- Initially a welcome message (settable in the TECHNICAL SETUP, << LoGo >> StEP, TECHNICAL MANUAL) while the

instrument carries out a series of checking and preheating self tests.

- E-AF03 - XX” name of the installed software, in which XX identifies the software language. XX.YY is the software version installed.

- “EXECUTION AUTOZERO”

The instrument carries out the "autozero at start-up” function: if a weight is detected within the percentile set in the << Auto-0 >> step (TECHNICAL MANUAL.), it is cleared; if the weight is not within this tolerance:

- with a non approved instrument, the display shows the weight after a few instants,

- with an approved instrument, the message “EXECUTION AUTOZERO” appears continuously on the display, until the

weight is within tolerance. The auto zero function at start-up may be disabled in the SETUP environment (only with non approved instrument); see SEtuP >> ConFiG >> PArAm. >> Auto-0 (TECHNICAL MANUAL.)

By pressing the 2ndF key for an instant while the version is shown in the display, the indicator will shown in this order:

3.5 TURNING ON PRINTER IN ENERGY SAVING MODE

Premise: the SEtuP >> SEriAL >> CoMPrn >> PWrPrn parameter must be set as “EXt.oFF” or “PWrint”, TECHNICAL MANUAL).

In a system where the indicator is connected to a printer, and both are battery powered, the printer is normally maintained in STAND-BY and powered only when a printout is needed. This function reduces the energy absorbed by the battery when the printer is not being used. If, in this configuration, one should power the printer to change the paper and other maintenance jobs, one needs to press in sequence the ENTER and 0 keys during the weighing: the display shows Prn - on, and the printer is kept on. Press any key to exit from this condition.

4.1.6 REMOTE CONTROL

Depending on the model of indicator, it is possible to remotely control the instrument through one of the following types of remote controls: 18-key infrared (ir) or 6-key radio (rd).

The type of remote control to be used must be selected in the Setup environment, in the << inF.Red >> step (TECHNICAL

MANUAL).

NOTE: The infrared remote controls are for indoor use only.

4.1.6.1 “18-KEY” INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL With this type of remote control, the functioning of the keys will be as described in the following table. The remote control can be programmed so that it will emulate the Tare key instead of the 2nd F key of the indicator and the function keys from F1 to F10 instead of the numeric keys (numeric key 1 for F1, numeric key 2 for key F2 etc…); see below the configuration details.

FUNCTION OF THE KEYS

CONFIGURATION To execute this configuration:

- press at length the Fn key on the remote control;

- the configuration of the 2nd F key is proposed:

4.1.6.2 “6-KEY” RADIO REMOTE CONTROL

With this type of remote control, the functioning of each key can be programmed so that it is matched to one of the available keys of the indicator. This configuration must be carried out in the Setup environment, in the << inF.Red >> step (TECHNICAL MANUAL), after the selection of this type of remote control. By pressing the ./HELP key of the indicator, it’s possible to see, while weighing, the list of the functions matched to the keys of the indicator and also to the keys of the remote control (see section 4.1.4).

EXAMPLE OF CONFIGURATION

USE OF MORE REMOTE CONTROLS WITH ONLY ONE INDICATOR If one works with only an indicator, it is possible to use any 6-key remote control, without combining it to the indicator, therefore without limiting the number of usable remote controls. To enable this mode one has to first select “RD 6 BR” in the << inF.Red >> (TECHNICAL MANUAL).

USE OF MORE REMOTE CONTROLS WITH SEVERAL INDICATORS IN THE SAME AREA If one needs to use several indicators in the same area, it is possible to combine each remote control to the desired indicator, in order to execute the function only on it and therefore avoid emulating the function on all indicators in use.

By enabling this mode it will be possible to combine up to 3 different remote controls (e.i. for 3 different operators) for each indicator.

To enable this mode one has to first select “RD 6” in the << inF.Red >> (TECHNICAL MANUAL). To link a new remote control to the indicator one has to:

- press at length 1 and 2 keys together (3 seconds).

- the instrument displays "aut.rd?"

- press the ENTER key of the indicator

- the new remote control is linked

To remove the linking of a remote control one has to:

- press at length 1 and 2 keys together (3 seconds).

- the instrument displays "aut.rd?"

- press the C key of the indicator; if the remote control was previously linked, it will be removed.

4.2.2 BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION

The indicator is able to recognise whether it is powered by mains or by battery, and to indicate its charge level; to enable the battery level indication, one should configure the << bt.LEVEL >> step. The charge level is shown during weighing by the battery symbol.

- : charged battery.

- : partially charged battery.

- : discharged battery: connect the indicator to the mains for recharging the battery (if provided by that model) or

replacing the battery.

The indicator shows also when the battery is being recharged (if provided for the model):

RECHARGE PHASE:     …

COMPLETED RECHARGE:

NOTES:

- During the recharge the instrument can be normally used.

- The instrument automatically turns off when the voltage goes below the minimum level.

4.2.3 "TILT" DEVICE

The TILT is a device which inhibits the indicator’s weighing system and starts working when the instrument’s inclination is greater than 2% for the pallet truck application or 5% for application on lift trucks. The “tilt” message is shown on the display, alternate to the weight value. The activation of the tilt alarm has a delay of about three seconds from the detection of the exceeding inclination. See the electrical connection scheme (TECHNICAL MANUAL.) for the connection of the device.

R = rem

Σ= A+B function

Page 20

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

5.1 FUNCTIONING WITH REMOTE SCALE

PREMISE: the functioning of the remote scale is foreseen with the use of independent channels (nuM.SCA step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

The remote scale transmits in a continuous mode the weight string on a dedicated serial port (optional), in a unidirectional (from scale to indicator). It is possible to use the serial ports on the indicator’s motherboard simultaneously with the use of the remote scale. In the normal scale status, press the 2ndF and 0 keys to pass to the display of the weight on the remote scale. If just the remote scale is connected, after the start-up phase, the indicator positions itself directly on it. If the remote scale allows this, it is possible to carry out the ZERO and TARE operations directly from the indicator. It is possible to carry out all the weighing procedures described in section 13 (also using the databases), or print the displayed weight. For the connection refer to the technical manual of the instrument (TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

CONFIGURATION OF THE REMOTE SCALE

See the manual of the remote scale.

CONFIGURATION OF THE INDICATOR Refer to the technical manual for programming the indicator (SEtuP >> SEriAL >> CoMAuX >> rEM.SCA step TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

5.2 “A+B” FUNCTION

“A+B” function allows you to perform weighing operations on each scale or on their sum; the function have to be enable in step F.ModE >> totAL >> WEi.Mod >> nor.WGt (TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

To display the sum of two scales, press in sequence the 2ndF and 3 keys, the LCD display shows:

where “Σ” indicates the sum of two scales.

NOTES

• One can select in every time scale 1 or scale 2 by pressing in sequence 2ndF and 1 or 2ndF and 2 keys.

• The total capacity corresponds to the sum of each scale capacity.

• The total division corresponds to the highest division of each scale.

• The overload signalling always corresponds to individual scale overload detection (individual scale capacity + 9e).

• The function is available for “single vehicle” functioning mode

• The maximum entering value of manual tare is always equal to each scale capacity.

• The manual tare is the same for all the scales: the value is shown on LCD display, while display always shows the

gross weigh.

• The semi-automatic tare is disabled (on each scale too).

• The 316 function switch the visualization between Preset Tare and the weight values.

• At start-up the indicator places itself on A+B status.

5.3 WEIGHING WITH TWO SCALES: SELECTING INPUT/OUTPUT SCALES

Since it is possible to connect a second scale, in the F.ModE >> totAL >> i.o.SCA SET INPUT/OUTPUT SCALES” parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP (TECHNICAL MANUAL.), one sets how to use the two scales:

• By selecting “SEt.i.o1” one sets the first scale as INPUT, and the second one as OUTPUT.

• By selecting “SEt.i.o2” one sets the first scale as INPUT as well as OUTPUT.

• By selecting “FrEE” one can freely use the two scales as: INPUT in the first / OUTPUT in the second, and vice

versa, or INPUT/OUTPUT in the first or INPUT/OUTPUT in the second.

Page 21

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

6. SCALE ZERO FUNCTION

With various connected scales, select the scale using the numerical keyboard, using the 2ndF and the 0, 1, 2 and 3 keys.

Keep the ZERO key pressed; the message "Zero" appears on the display after which:

- If the weight on the scale is included in the percentage of capacity configured in the << 0.PErC >> (RIF.MAN.T.) step, it

is zeroed;

- If the weight is not within this range, it will not be cleared and an error sound is emitted.

In the end the indicator automatically returns to the display of the weight present on the scale.

6.1 CYCLICAL AUTOMATIC ZERO

If the cyclical automatic zero has been set at the start-up (in the SEtuP >> ConFig >> ParaM >> Auto 0 step of the setup, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), by pressing the combination of the 2ndF and ZERO keys, a zero cycle is executed in all the

current scales.

7. TARE FUNCTIONS

7.1 SEMIAUTOMATIC TARE

By pressing the TARE key one tares any weight which is on the scale; the display shows “tArE” for an instant and then 0 (net weight); the NET and T, or , indicators turn on; the LCD display shows furthermore the stored tare value. Whatever the case, a new operation automatically cancels and substitutes the previous one.

NOTES:

- The automatic tare is acquired only if the weight is of AT LEAST ONE DIVISION AND IS STABLE (~ instability led indicator is off) and LOWER THAN THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY.

- In the “vehicle with trailer” and in the “A+B” functioning modes, the semiautomatic tare is inhibited.

7.2 PRESET TARE

To enter the tare value, one can do it in several ways:

1) With the numeric keyboard type the value (including the decimal point) and press TARE. The C key quickly zeros the current value.

2) Select a vehicle in database linked to a tare different than 0.

The indicator automatically subtracts the entered value from the displayed weight, (the NET and T, or , indicators turn on), as long as it is not greater than the instrument’s maximum capacity. The LCD display shows furthermore the stored tare value, identified with “PT” (Preset Tare).

NOTES

- In the printout, the manual tare is identified with “PT” (Preset Tare).

- In the “vehicle with trailer” and in the “A+B” functioning modes, the display in any case shows the gross weight also in

the presence of a manual tare.

7.3 MANUAL CALCULATED TARE

With the “CALCULATOR” function it is possible to add or to subtract to the current tare the result of the operation between two values enterable with the keyboard. For the functioning specifications see the 15.1 CALCULATOR section.

7.4 TARE CANCELLATION

To cancel the stored tare:

- With an unloaded platform, press the TARE key.

- With loaded platform press in sequence the numeric 0 key and TARE.

Page 22

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

7.5 LOCKED / UNLOCKED TARE

Normally, when a tare value has been entered (automatically, manually or from storage) by unloading the scale plate, the display shows the tare value with a negative sign (LOCKED TARE). One can also choose that the tare value is cancelled automatically, each time that the scale is unloaded (UNLOCKED TARE):

CONDITIONS FOR AUTOMATIC UNLOCKING:

- In case of SEMI AUTOMATIC TARE, the net weight before the scale unloading may also be 0.

- In case of MANUAL TARE, CALCULATED TARE or FROM DATABASE, the net weight before the scale unloading

must be of at least 2 stable divisions.

By pressing at length the F5 key it is possible to quickly lock/unlock the tare:

DISPLAY MEANING LoCK LOCKED TARE unLoCK UNLOCKED TARE

The setting of the tare may be made also in the “TARE LOCKED/UNLOCKED” SEtuP >> tArE t parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP, TECHNICAL MANUAL.

7.6 LIMITATION OF THE TARE FUNCTIONS

For specific requirements, it is possible to limit the tare functions with approved instrument; by setting “YES” in the SEtuP >> d.SALE step of the SETUP environment (TECHNICAL MANUAL.):

- the SEMIAUTOMATIC TARE can not be modified with a manual or calculated tare, or one from database.

- the manual or calculated tare, or one from database must be entered or modified only with UNLOADED scale.

With approved instrument, the SEtuP >> d.SALE step is read only.

7.7 TARE EXECUTION MODE OR DISABLING OF THE TARE

It’s possible to select the tare execution mode, through the setting of the F.ModE >> totAL >> tArE step (TECHNICAL MANUAL.):

- By setting "diSAbL" one disables all the tare operations;

- By setting "Lock" or “Unlock”, all the tare operations described in section 7.5 are enabled.

7.8 LINKING A PRESET TARE TO A VEHICLE IN THE DATABASE

It is possible to link a tare value to each article of the vehicle database; this tare value will be enabled with each vehicle selection. Press the C key to cancel the stored tare entering. See section 11.3 for further details.

8. MULTIPLE RANGE AND MULTI-INTERVAL FUNCTION

The multiple range functioning allows to subdivide the scale capacity in two or three ranges, each which is up to 3000

divisions, improving in this way the first range division in the dual range and the first two ranges in the triple range. For example it is possible to approve the weighing system with:

- A single range: 6 kg capacity and 2 g division (3000 div.).

- Dual range: 6 /3 kg capacity and 2/1 g division (3000 + 3000 div.).

- Triple range: 15 / 6 / 3 kg capacity and 5/2/1 g division (3000 + 3000 + 3000 div.).

NOTE: For the approval of the weighing system in dual and triple ranges the cell must have better technical features in comparison to the cell used for the approval in a single range. This functioning is indicated by the turning on of the indicator which identify the range in which one is working: W1 first range, W2 second range, W3 third range (if configured); by passing to the W2 range, the second range division is enabled; by passing to the W3 range, the third range division is enabled, at this point the W1 first scale division is restored only by

passing the gross zero of the scale.

The multi-interval functioning is similar to MULTIPLE RANGE, but with the difference that a range division is enabled as soon as one enters in its range interval (in other words without passing by the scale zero).

NOTE: The selection of the range number with multiple range and multi-interval functioning is made during the indicator

calibration (TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

Page 23

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

9. DISPLAY OF METROLOGIC DATA (inFO)

The indicator is fitted with a function named “INFO”, thanks to which it is possible to view the configuration metric data:

- First range capacity, first range minimum weigh, first range division.

- Second range capacity, second range minimum weigh, second range division.

- Third range capacity, third range minimum weigh, third range division.

NOTES:

- The minimum weigh corresponds to 20 net weight divisions.

- The data of the second and third range appear only if actually configured.

To display the metrologic data:

- Press in sequence the 2ndF and C key

- “METROLOGIC INFORMATION” is displayed

- The display will show the number of the scale, the type of displayed data and its value.

- Press the F6 key to quickly scroll the following data

- Press the F7 key to quickly scroll the previous data backwards.

- Press the C key to quickly return to weighing.

10. FILLING IN THE INPUT TEXT

The indicator offers the possibility of using 15 CONFIGURABLE INPUT TEXTS (for example LOT, OPERATOR, SHIFT, etc.), each made up of 16 heading characters and 32 content characters. When entered in the TECHNICAL SETUP (see F.ModE >> tXt “Input text configuration” parameter, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), these may be printed later on, if programmed in the printouts; or these may be used as a reminder.

To manually fill in the input texts it is possible to proceed in two ways:

1) If one knows the memory storage position (from 0 to 14) of the text to be modified, type the number, followed by

the F4 key: now enter the text and confirm with ENTER (the indicator returns to the weighing phase).

2) By pressing for an instant the F4 key, one accesses the complete list of the texts, for example:

- The LCD display shows “in. XX” in the first line, in which XX is the index of the free text (from 0 to 14) and THE

HEADING on the second line (or “Empty…” if empty).

- Use the arrow   keys to select the text to be filled in and press ENTER: now one can enter the alphanumeric

text in the second line of the LCD display, (see chapter 4.1.2 ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC TEXT).

- Press ENTER to store and pass on to the following stored TEXT; by confirming the last entered text one returns

automatically to the weigh functioning; it is possible to exit also with the C key while in the text selection modification phase.

NOTE:

• The entered texts remain in storage until these are substituted or cancelled.

• If no text has been configured, the pressing of the F4 key has no effect.

• Through specific print macros, it’s possible to automatically cancel the contents of all the texts, right after their printing

(TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

• For information on the entry of the alphanumeric texts, see section “4.1.2 ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC TEXT”.

10.1 QUICK MODIFICATION OF AN INPUT TEXT

By linking the number of a specific input text to the function 114 (preamble function in the << F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), it is possible to access directly to the modification of it with a direct key, for example F1 key to quickly access

the text 0, and F2 key to quickly access the text 1.

13. WEIGHING PROCEDURES

13.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

Besides the basic standard weighing function, the IPE100 allows to keep under control the flow of goods in input and output from a warehouse or a factory, with the possibility of simultaneously managing up to 999 vehicles, also on two scales; these vehicles can be managed as single vehicles or as vehicles with trailer. To guarantee correlation between the two operations, the system foresees two identification methods: through ID code or through the LICENSE PLATE of the vehicle. The implementation of external modules like the PC keyboard, the bar code or badge readers, allows to quicken the weighing operations; furthermore through the “MASTER - SLAVE” function it’s possible to manage the weighing system also from a second remote indicator. Furthermore, the programme has been made to manage the accumulation and the printing of the weight difference. The weight difference is automatically accumulated in the instrument totals (PARTIAL, GENERAL, GRAND TOTAL), and the weighs’ progressives are automatically increased relative to the previously shown totals. Furthermore, if a customer/material/vehicle has been enabled, the instrument increases both the totals as well as the weighs’ progressive relative to the selected article.

13.2 WEIGHING THROUGH ID CODE

NOTE: the functioning mode must be enabled: set F.ModE >> totAL >> WEi.MEM step of the SETUP environment on

“WEi.Cod” (TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

In this functioning mode, the indicator links each input weigh to the lowest available ID (from 1 to 999); consequently, if an output weigh is executed correctly, the relative ID code will be made available for the following input weigh. It’s possible to have the ID code of the input weigh to be always consequential (therefore also if an ID lower than the last one stored is available) by setting the F.ModE >> totAL >> Pro.LSt step in the SETUP on “DISABLE”, TECHNICAL

MANUAL.

13.2.1 INPUT WEIGH

13.2.1.1 SINGLE VEHICLE (F.ModE >> totAL >> WEi.Mod step set on “nor.WGt”, TECHNICAL MANUAL.)

- Position the vehicle on the scale.

- Select, if requested, the customer / material / vehicle to be linked to the weigh.

- Press the F6 key, the LCD display will show:

ENTRY WEIGH

READING WEIGHT

SECOND WEIGH? ENTER=YES C=NO

Or, if one has configured TWO SCALES:

SECOND WEIGH? C=NO 1=SCL.1 2=SCL.2

At this point one should position the trailer on the scale; wait a few instants for the weight stability.

By pressing ENTER it is possible to:

- CONFIRM THE SAME If the F.Mode >> totAL >> C.EntEr parameter of the setup is set on

PLATFORM “ConFEr” (CONFIRM SCALE), TECHNICAL MANUAL.

- CHANGE PLATFORM: If the F.Mode >> totAL >> C.EntEr parameter of the setup is set on

“inVErt” (INVERT SCALE), TECHNICAL MANUAL.

Note: It is in any case possible to change the platform by pressing the 1 key for platform 1 or the 2 key for platform 2.

In the printout, the trailer weight will be shown on the side (“TRAILER” item), right after the trailer weight (“INPUT” item). By pressing C the weigh will be carried out anyways, but only the trailer weight will be taken into consideration and printed (“INPUT” item).

NOTES ON INPUT WEIGHING

• If there is a tare, a SINGLE WEIGH is executed; therefore no ID code is occupied.

• If all the 999 memory storages are occupied without executing any output weigh, upon the execution of the following

input weigh, the indicator shows the message “WEIGHS MEMORY FINISHED”; one must execute at least one output weigh in order to free up the memory to be used.

To cancel all the memory storages, go to the Prn.ViS >>> 0.W.List step in the menu of the ENTER key. If one needs to execute a simple weigh without any input/output weigh and databases, we advise to use the print key, in order to not occupy ID codes.

• If the output weigh has been made with a selected vehicle, one should execute the output weigh in order to reuse the

same vehicle in a new weigh (the LCD display shows “PLATE ALREADY PRESENT!”).

13.2.2.2 VEHICLE WITH TRAILER (F.ModE >> totAL >> WEi.Mod step set on “SEC.WGt”, TECHNICAL MANUAL.)

- Proceed the same way with the weigh of the single vehicle (see previous paragraph).

- The LCD display will show:

SECOND WEIGH? ENTER=YES C=NO

Or, if one has configured TWO SCALES:

SECOND WEIGH? C=NO 1=SCL.1 2=SCL.2

At this point one should position the trailer on the scale, wait a few instants for the weight stability.

By pressing ENTER it is possible to:

- CONFIRM THE SAME If in the F.ModE >> totAL >> C.EntEr parameter of the setup one sets PLATFORM

“ConFEr” (CONFIRM SCALE), TECHNICAL MANUAL.

- CHANGE PLATFORM: If in the F.ModE >> totAL >> C.EntEr parameter of the setup one sets “inVErt” (INVERT

SCALE), TECHNICAL MANUAL.

Note: It is in any case possible to change the platform by pressing the 1 key for platform 1 or the 2 key for platform 2. In the printout, the trailer weight will be shown separately (“TRAILER” item), right below the tractor weight (“OUTPUT” item). By pressing C the weigh is cancelled and the indicator returns to the weighing mode (“OUTPUT” item).

NOTES ON THE OUTPUT WEIGH:

• If there is a tare, a SINGLE WEIGH is executed.

F.ModE >> rEACt. “REACTIVATIONS” parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP has been programmed (RIF.MAN.T.), in other words the weight movement or passage by zero of the weight; furthermore the F6 key excludes the F7 and the printout keys and vice versa.

- the totalisation excludes the simple print function and vice versa.

With NON APPROVED instrument:

- the INPUT or OUTPUT weigh functions with a weight greater than zero and reactivates according to how the F.ModE

>> rEACt. “REACTIVATIONS” parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP (TECHNICAL MANUAL.) has been programmed; furthermore the F6 key excludes the F7 key and vice versa.

- the totalisation does not exclude the simple print function.

13.5 ADDITIONAL TARE FUNCTION

This function is useful if one wants to calculate the loaded/unloaded weight at the net of a tare added to the weight of the vehicle taken into consideration. By enabling the function in the F.ModE >> totAL >> Add.tAr step, it’s possible to have that, upon the output weigh, one is asked to enter an additional tare, which will be subtracted from the loaded/unloaded weight value in the weigh. After the pressing of the F7 key and the selection of the “open” weigh in input, one enters the calculator environment (the LCD display shows the message “ADDITIONAL TARE”).

Procedure:

With the numerical keyboard enter the first value then

• Press Fn in order to consider this value as an additional tare

• Press F1 to add, F2 to multiply, F3 to subtract:

- With the numeric keyboard enter the second value of the operation.

- PRESS ENTER: the result will be shown for a few seconds on the display.

The printing of the “CALCULATOR” print function will not be made, but one proceeds with the printing of the output weigh. The result of the additional tare is automatically subtracted from the loaded or unloaded weight.

13.6 TOLERANCE WEIGHING FIELD

It is possible to establish a weight interval (in between 0 and the scale capacity) for executing an input or output weigh; outside this interval, the operation is not accepted (when the F6 or F7 key is pressed the LCD display shows the “WEIGHT OUT OF THRESHOLD” message for a few seconds.

SETTING OF WEIGHT THRESHOLD:

• Through the 500 function, combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), it’s possible to access the “thr.hi" menu (Maximum Threshold Setting): set the upper totalisation threshold and press ENTER.

• Through the 501 function, combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), it’s possible to access the “thr.Lo" menu (Minimum Threshold Setting): set the lower totalisation threshold and press ENTER.

NOTES:

- By setting 0 in the maximum threshold, it’s possible to totalise up to the maximum capacity of the scale.

- By setting 0 in both thresholds, the functions are disabled.

- The totalisation field is valid for all totalisation types (input/output and single weigh).

13.7 REENABLING THE PRINTING AND INPUT / OUTPUT WEIGH

After having carried out an input/output weigh or a single weigh, in order to carry out a new one, the displayed weight must pass by the zero or become unstable. This setting is made in the SETUP environment, in the F.ModE >> rEACt. parameter (TECHNICAL MANUAL.). While using the indicator, one may incur in the “WEIGHT NOT PASSED BY 0 OR UNSTAB.” error shown on the LCD display, this means that the function which one wants to carry out, must be reenabled (in order to avoid accidental executions). In any case, one can also exclude this type of check: in order to do this, one should set “ALWAYS” in the F.ModE >> totAL

>> t.ModE step (TECHNICAL MANUAL.)

13.8 VISUALISATION AND CLEARING OF THE ACCUMULATED TOTALS

Each total can be momentarily viewed on the display or cleared independently through the printout, linking the corresponding function to the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.):

TOTAL FUNCTION CODE FOR

VISUALISATION

FUNCTION CODE FOR

RESETTING

PARTIAL TOTAL 416 418 GENERAL TOTAL 419 421 GRAND TOTAL 422 424 CUSTOMER TOTAL 404 406 MATERIAL TOTAL 408 410 VEHICLE TOTAL 412 414 ALL CUSTOMERS TOTAL - 407 ALL MATERIALS TOTAL - 411 ALL VEHICLES TOTAL - 415 ALL SCALE TOTAL

- 425 (partial total, general total, grand total) LIST SAMPLES - 426

By recalling one of the clearing functions, the instrument requests a confirmation before proceeding with the cancellation: press ENTER to clear, C for continuing to accumulate.

It’s possible to disable the confirmation request, in the F.ModE >> totAL >> rESEt step, TECHNICAL MANUAL. In case of visualisation of the total, the instrument automatically exits the function after a few seconds.

NOTES:

- The weight data of the cleared total will be updated only with the subsequent input/output weigh or single weigh.

- The ARTICLE TOTAL is article specific, in other words, there is a total for EACH ARTICLE USED.

The other totals are GENERIC, and can be cleared INDEPENDENTLY ONE FROM THE OTHER (i.e. if one clears the Grand total, with the following input/output weigh, the other totals will continue to increment, while the Grand total will restart from 0).

- By clearing the weighs’ list one obtains the clearing of all the “open” input weighs: By carrying out this operation all the

weighing operations under way are cancelled.

13.9 PROGRESSIVES

13.9.1 PROGRESSIVE DIGITS

Through function 401, combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), it’s possible to set the number of digits with which the TICKET PROGRESSIVE and LOT PROGRESSIVE are printed.

The number of settable digits varies from 4 to 16, organised in this way:

- if the actual digits of the total are less than the number of digits set in this step, the difference is filled with some

spaces.

- if the actual digits are greater than the number of digits set in this step, only the ones actually entered are taken into

consideration (counting from right to left).

The alignment of the total fields is on the left.

Page 40

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

NOTE: The number of settable digits DOES NOT INCLUDE the comma.

13.9.2 TICKET PROGRESSIVE

Through function 402, combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), it’s possible to modify or clear the TICKET PROGRESSIVE (up to 5 digits).

The TICKET PROGRESSIVE is a progressive number which increments of one UPON THE FIRST TOTALISATION SUBSEQUENT TO THE CLEARING OF THE PARTIAL TOTAL.

13.9.3 LOT PROGRESSIVE

Through function 403, combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), one obtains the clearing of the AUTOMATIC LOT (up to 6 digits); before carrying out the actual clearing, one is asked to confirm or cancel the operation; confirm with ENTER.

The AUTOMATIC LOT is a progressive number which increments of one UPON THE FIRST TOTALISATION SUBSEQUENT TO THE CLEARING OF THE GENERAL TOTAL..

14. PRINTOUTS

The instrument is fitted with 12 different print functions, which may be used while weighing, and of 30 print formats, in other words, 30 different memory storages, each of which contain a programmable printout.

The printouts executed by 12 of these functions depends on the print format linked to it; see the following section for the linkages.

The format linking function allows executing various printouts, by changing the linked format each time.

The available functions are:

SIMPLE PRINTOUT - Programmable printout - Through the F5 key one prints the linked format, without executing the input/output weigh or single weigh.

With the APPROVED instrument:

- The printing works if there is a NET WEIGHT of at least 20 divisions.

- The printout is reenabled depending on how the F.ModE >> rEACt parameter has been programmed in the

TECHNICAL SETUP (TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

- The simple print function excludes the totalisation and vice versa. With the NON APPROVED instrument:

- The printing works if there is a NET WEIGHT greater than zero.

- The simple printout does not exclude the totalisation and is always active (the programming of the F.ModE >> rEACt

parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP TECHNICAL MANUAL. is not taken into consideration).

INPUT WEIGH - Programmable printout - With the F6 key one prints the data relative to the INPUT WEIGH (format linked to the S.F.06 function), or to the SINGLE WEIGH (format linked to the S.F.05 function) in case the known tare has been entered. For the totalisation conditions, see section 13.4.

OUTPUT WEIGH - Programmable printout With the F7 key one prints the data relative to the OUTPUT WEIGH (format linked to the S.F.07 function) or to the SINGLE WEIGH (format linked to the S.F.05 function) in the case that the known tare has been entered. For the totalisation conditions, see section 13.4.

HELP FUNCTION

By pressing at length the . /HELP key it is possible to see the list of the keys used in the calculator function. If one wants to scroll the list of the keys in manual mode, it is possible to use the arrow keys (F6  and F7 ).

15.2 DISPLAY OF NET WEIGHT WITH SENSITIVITY X 10 (for testing use during calibration)

By pressing at length the F2 key one will view the net weight with sensitivity times 10 (press again at length the F2 key to return to the normal visualisation).

NOTES:

- With approved indicator, the visualisation lasts about 5 seconds, after which it’s disabled.

- The printout can only be done when the indicator has the standard sensitivity.

15.3 SETTING DATE / TIME

By pressing at length the F3 key ‘it’s possible to quickly access the setting from the date / time of the instrument: DAY  ENTER  MONTH  ENTER  YEAR  ENTER  HOUR  ENTER  MINUTES  ENTER.

15.4 SET-POINT FUNCTION

The indicator is fitted with a series of 4 signal outputs used for various types of operation, besides, through the I/O expansion board (in the IO version) it is possible to use another 12. In the SEtuP >>outPut >> r.ConF menu (TECHNICAL MANUAL) it is possible to set the characteristics of each output which will be used: normally open or normally closed; upon direct control or weight stability, with hysteresis or without, the functioning mode. It is also possible to set whether the enabling of the output excludes the check on the previous outputs (see the SEtuP >> outPut >> r.ModE parameter).

Page 45

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

15.4.1 NORMAL FUNCTIONING MODE

By setting the SEtuP >> outPut >> r.ModE parameter on “norMAL”, one configures the independent use of the outputs:

- the check is always made on all the set outputs

- the enabling of one of these does not provoke the disabling of the others.

15.4.1.1 SETPOINT ON THE GROSS WEIGHT Functioning with hysteresis (rL.iSt “HYSTERESIS” parameter set as iSt.on) By selecting this functioning mode the output function on the GROSS weight is activated; one enters two SET POINTS for each output: a DISABLING one, which, when the gross weight is lower than it, disables the appropriate output; an ENABLING one, which, when the gross weight is greater or equal than it, it enables the appropriate output. Through function 202, combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), the SET POINT values are entered (DISABLING and ENABLING) for each configured output:

- The display shows " S.1 on " (relay 1 ENABLING SETPOINT): press ENTER, enter the weight value with the keyboard

and confirm with ENTER (use the C key to quickly zero the current value).

- The display shows " S.1 oFF” (relay 1 DISABLING SETPOINT): press ENTER, enter the weight value with the keyboard

and confirm with ENTER (use the C key to quickly zero the current value).

- Proceed in the same way for the following outputs (if present).

- When finished programming the set points, exit with the C key.

OUT1 STATUS

ENABLED

DISABLED

S1on S1oFF

GROSS WEIGHT

Functioning without hysteresis (rL.iSt “HYSTERESIS” parameter set as iSt.oFF) The operating mode is the same as the previous one, except that just one SETPOINT is entered for each output ("S.1 on“); for this purpose the access to the " S.1 oFF " parameter is inhibited.

NOTES

- If all the outputs have the “NONE” (none) functioning mode, the enabling of the 202 function has no effect.

- The DISABLING SETPOINT must be less or equal to the ENABLING ones; if a value greater than the ENABLING one is

entered and confirmed in the DISABLING SETPOINT, the indicator will set at 0 the set point, until a correct value is entered.

- If a value lower than the DISABLING one is entered and confirmed in the ENABLING SETPOINT, that value is

accepted, but the DISABLING SETPOINT is put at 0.

- The 0 value is valid on both the set point values.

- The SETPOINT check of the weight remains active on the present value even during the modification of the SET

POINT, until the new value is confirmed.

- At start-up, the relays are managed from when the weight is displayed and these take on the configuration set in the

SETUP environment. These are not managed inside the technical SETUP.

- In case of weight not valid (local or from remote scale) all the outputs will be disabled.

15.4.1.2 SETPOINT ON THE NET WEIGHT By selecting this functioning mode, the output function on the NET weight is enabled; the entry of the SET POINTS and the specifications are the same as the functioning mode on the gross weight.

15.4.1.3 GROSS WEIGHT AT ZERO By selecting this functioning mode, the output function on the GROSS weight at 0 is enabled.

15.4.1.4 NET WEIGHT AT ZERO By selecting this functioning mode, the output function on the NET weight at 0 is enabled.

Page 46

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

15.4.1.5 INSTABILITY By selecting this functioning mode, the output function on the unstable weight is enabled.

15.4.1.6 TOTALISATION By selecting this functioning mode, the output function is enabled after executing a single weigh or after an output weight (at the end of an input/output cycle); the output remains enabled until the weigh is restored; in other words, by the passing by zero of the net weight or by weight instability (see F.ModE >> rEACt “REACTIVATIONS” parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP, TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

15.4.1.7 SETPOINT ON THE PARTIAL TOTAL By selecting this functioning mode, the output function is enabled on the sum between the NET weight on the scale and the accumulated net partial total; the entry of the SET POINTS and the specifications are the same as the functioning mode on the gross weight.

15.4.1.8 SETPOINT ON THE GENERAL TOTAL By selecting this functioning mode, the output function is enabled on the sum between the NET weight on the scale and the accumulated net general total; the entry of the SET POINTS and the specifications are the same as the functioning mode on the gross weight.

15.4.1.9 SETPOINT ON THE GRAND TOTAL By selecting this functioning mode, the output function is enabled on the sum between the NET weight on the scale and the accumulated net grand total; the entry of the SET POINTS and the specifications are the same as the functioning mode on the gross weight.

15.4.1.10 SETPOINT ON THE NEGATIVE NET WEIGHT Functioning with hysteresis (rL.iSt “HYSTERESIS” parameter set as iSt.on) By selecting this functioning mode the outputs function on the NEGATIVE NET weight is activated; one enters two NEGATIVE SET POINTS for each output: a DISABLING one, which, when the NET weight is greater than it, disables the appropriate output; an ENABLING one, which, when the NET weight is lower or equal than it, it enables the appropriate output. The entry and specifications are the same for the functioning mode on the gross weight.

OUT1 STATUS

S1.on S1.Off NET WEIGHT

Functioning without hysteresis (rL.iSt “HYSTERESIS” parameter set as iSt.oFF) The operating mode is the same as the previous one, except that just one SETPOINT is entered for each output (" S.1 on “); for this purpose the access to the " S.1 oFF " parameter is inhibited. The entry and specifications are the same for the functioning mode on the gross weight.

15.4.1.11 OPERATION MADE By selecting this functioning mode, the output function is enabled after the execution of an input or output weigh; the relay remains enabled until the weigh is restored; in other words, by the passing by zero of the net weight or by weight instability (see F.ModE >> rEACt “REACTIVATIONS” parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP, TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

Page 47

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

15.4.1.12 WEIGHT ACQUISITION By selecting this functioning mode, the output function is enabled after the weight acquisition; the relay remains enabled until the weigh is restored; in other words, by the passing by zero of the net weight or by weight instability (see F.ModE >> rEACt “REACTIVATIONS” parameter of the TECHNICAL SETUP, TECHNICAL MANUAL.).

15.4.1.13 CONTROL LIGHT By selecting this functioning mode the output function on the NET weight is enabled: when the net weight is equal or greater than the ENABLING SET POINT, the relay is disabled. The relay is disabled until the execution of an input or output weight; after this, the relay is activated and remains activated until the weight is lower than the ENABLING SET POINT, and the weight doesn’t surpass it once again. If the relay is disabled and no input or output weight is made, the functioning is the same as that of the set point on the net weight.

FUNCTIONING WITH 1 CONTROL LIGHT:

RED  R1, functioning with control light, normally CLOSED, ENABLING SET POINT 10kg.

GREEN  R2, functioning with control light, normally OPEN, ENABLING SET POINT 10kg.

• The scale is unloaded and the vehicle is not yet positioned on the scale: the GREEN light turns on.

• The vehicle is now positioned on the scale. When the ENABLING SET POINT is reached, the GREEN light turns off

and the RED light turns on.

• After the execution of the input or output weight, the RED light turns off and the GREEN light turns back on.

• The vehicle descends from the scale and the GREEN light continues to stay on.

• It is possible to execute another input/output weigh with the same procedure.

FUNCTIONING WITH 2 CONTROLS LIGHT:

The functioning mode with 2 independents controls light is equal to the functioning previously described, with the difference that it’s possible to manage 2 independents scales, each with one different control light.

SCALE 1

RED  R1, functioning with control light, normally CLOSED, ENABLING SET POINT 10kg.

GREEN  R2, functioning with control light, normally OPEN, ENABLING SET POINT 10kg.

Page 48

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

SCALE 2

RED  R3, functioning with control light for the second scale, normally CLOSED, ENABLING SET POINT 10kg.

GREEN  R4, functioning with control light for second scale, normally OPEN, ENABLING SET POINT 10kg.

15.4.2 EXCLUSIVE FUNCTIONING MODE

By setting the SEtuP >> outPut >> r.ModE parameter on “EXCLuS”, one configures the exclusive use of the outputs:

- The check is made on all the set outputs starting from the last one (OUT16) to the first one (OUT1).

- When one of these is enabled the check on the previous ones is excluded.

By selecting this functioning mode and setting the set points in increasing order, one can create outputs activation ranges.

Example:

RELAY SETPOINT ACTIVATION RANGE

rL. 1 1.000 kg From 1.000 to 1.999 rL. 2 2.000 kg From 2.000 to 2.999 rL. 3 3.000 kg From 3.000 to 3.999 rL. 4 4.000 kg From 4.000 onwards.

In this case, if the weight reaches 2.500 kg, ONLY THE “rL. 2” OUTPUT IS ENABLED; if the weight reaches 4.500 kg, ONLY THE “rL. 4” OUTPUT IS ENABLED.

15.4.3 QUICK MODIFICATION OF THE SETPOINTS By linking the number of a specific setpoint to the function 202 (preamble function in the << F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), it is possible to access directly to the modification of it with a direct key, for example F1 key to quickly modify

the SETPOINT 1, and F2 key to quickly modify the SETPOINT 2.

15.5 DIAGNOSTIC PERIPHERALS

Through function 118 combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.), one enables the diagnostic peripherals function. The display shows:

16. ALIBI MEMORY

The alibi memory allows storing the executed weighs or the weights transmitted to the PC. The stored values can then be recalled by the PC serial line or directly on the indicator’s LED display for a following check.

The data filed with each weigh or upon each weight transmission is:

- Gross weight

- Tare

- Unit of measure

- Number of selected scale

The memorisation of a weigh takes place:

• Following the reception of a command through the serial line, See section 16.2.1.

• Upon the printing made with the F5 key or upon totalisation

By setting the SEtuP >> SEriAL >> CoMPrn >> ProtoC parameter on "Alibi" (TECHNICAL MANUAL.)

It’s possible also to transmit the string (weigh/ID) on the PC port, by setting the SEtuP >> SEriAL >> CoMPC >> ProtoC parameter on "Alibi" (TECHNICAL MANUAL.); The string is transmitted in the same format of the string received in response to the “WEIGHT VALUE REQUEST WITH WEIGH ID” command, described in section 16.2.1

The identification of the weigh takes place through the ID code; a code is given to each weigh, allowing finding the weigh in the database. If the weight can be saved in the alibi, the numeric ID will be substituted with the message "NO".

The ID has the following format:

- Rewriting number: number of 5 digits which may go from 0 to 00255; it indicates the number of complete rewritings of

the alibi memory.

- Weigh number: number of 6 digits which may go from 0 to 131071; it indicates the weigh number in the current rewriting

of the alibi memory

Page 50

IPE100 indicator NU-IPE100-IO-USER-E-0212

With each storage, the weigh number is increased of 000001; when it reaches the value 131071, it restarts from 000000 and the rewriting number increases of 00001. If the weigh can not be saved in the alibi, the numeric ID will be substituted with the message "NO".

For example: If the weigh which has been stored is the following: “PIDST,1, 1.000kg, 1.000kg,00126-131071”

the following will be: “PIDST,1, 1.000kg, 1.000kg,00127-000000”

NOTE: it’s possible to read the last 131071 weighs.

16.1 READING OF THE WEIGHS CARRIED OUT

Through function 427, combinable with the desired key (<< F.KEYS >> step, TECHNICAL MANUAL.) it’s possible to read a carried out weigh: first enter the rewriting number of the Alibi memory (rEW.id), confirm with ENTER, and then enter the weigh number (id) and press ENTER. The ID is accepted only if valid.

If the alibi memory is empty the message “EMPTY” appears on the LCD display for a few instants; if the ID code entered is not valid, the “no id” message appears for a few instants, and then one exits the step.

By entering a valid ID code, the LCD display shows the following data, selectable through the arrow keys   :

Ch.X in which X is the selected channel number (from 0 to 4)

Gross weight value with unit of measure;

Tare weight value with unit of measure;

Press C to exit the reading state of the weighs.

NOTE: It is possible to read the weigh carried out also through the PC serial line (see the “WEIGH READING” serial command in the following section).

16.2 SERIAL COMMANDS FOR MANAGING THE ALIBI MEMORY:

!! IMPORTANT !!

If the serial commands are transmitted in the format:

<ESC> command <STX>

in which: <ESC> is the ASCII decimal 27 character <STX> is the ASCII decimal 02 character

Also the relative answer will be:

<ESC> string <STX>

16.2.1 REQUEST WEIGHT VALUE WITH WEIGH ID

The command which allows saving the weight in the alibi memory and the transmission is: <II>PID<CRLF>

< II > = machine code, only if functioning in 485 PID = saving command of the weight data in the alibi memory CR = ASCII 13 decimal code LF = ASCII 10 decimal code

If the gross weight is equal or greater than zero and stable, the instrument will save the current weight in the alibi memory. And the PID string (weight/id) will be transmitted on the PC port; this is described in the following section.
