676|677|684|685|264|274|284|285|954|957|959|963]
The scale consists of the following main parts: the frame with up to four load
cells, a display unit, a key panel and a power supply unit.
1.2.2 Function

676|677|684|685|284|285]
The action of a force causes elastic deformation of the load cell. A
corresponding analog signal is supplied, which changes linearly with the force
applied. This signal is measured and evaluated by the scale electronics and
displayed as a weight value. shows the functional diagram for scales with
separated modules for determining and displaying the weight.
1.3 Design and Function of the Head Slider [264|274|284|285]
The head slider uses the measuring method of visual reading off from the insert
scale. Absolute and relative graduation marks are scanned to determine
lengths. Once the slider has moved more than two absolute marks, the absolute
position can be determined and a length is output.

Firmware software identification
Each and every firmware is given its own software identification number.
This software identification number is composed of a version number for the
program part that is subject to verification and a version number for the program
part that is not subject to verification.
Example: 01.08 01 - subject to verification
08 - not subject to verification
Whenever the firmware is changed, the version number for the program part
that is not subject to verification is increased. This is done by analogy with the
firmware index.
When a program part is changed that is subject to verification, the version
number for the program part that is subject to verification is also increased.
Software identification of the device
The overall version number of the program parts which are subject to
verification is the total of the version numbers (subject to verification) of the
individual hardware modules.
The overall version number of the program parts which are not subject to
verification is the total of the version numbers (not subject to verification) of the
individual hardware modules.

To compensate for linear measuring deviations, which occur e.g. as a result of
gravity variations in different gravity zones, the scale offers an adjustment
feature. This adjustment must also be carried out whenever the load cell is
replaced.
14.11.12/RLEU/ARI/MRE 10/40 30-34-00-812c
Maintenance seca
seca scales with modular NEC-G2 electronics are fitted with a softwarecontrolled adjustment device that is controlled using the existing operating
elements. When developing the adjustment device, special attention was paid
to the following requirements:
It must be possible to readjust scales without any additional external
equipment/tools.
The readjustment device must be admissible for verification.
It must be possible to readjust the scales without calibrated test weights.
The readjustment device must be protected against inadvertent use.
Scale adjustment can be carried out manually as described in section 0” or
using seca serva 2.0. Manual adjustment will not correct any corner errors.
2.1.2 Calibration Counter / Number of Adjustments
[374|376|378|703|704|634|635|644|645|656|657|664|665|674|675|6
76|677|684|685||264|274|284|285|954|957|959|963]
Scales fitted with the new, modular electronics are equipped with a calibration
counter allowing a software adjustment to be carried out in accordance with the
requirements for verified scales. Each completed adjustment procedure is
registered by the calibration counter, i.e. the number is automatically
incremented by 1. Non-approved scales are also fitted with a counter which
counts the number of adjustments.
2.1.3 Adjustment Mode and Displaying the Calibration Counter
Contents
[374|376|378|703|704|634|635|644|645|656|657|664|665|674|675|6
76|677|684|685|954|957|959|963]
To begin readjustment or to display the calibration counter contents, start the
scale while pressing another key at the same time. The contents of the
calibration counter (i.e. the number of adjustment procedures carried out so far)
are then displayed for 18 seconds (flashing).
While the calibration count is displayed, a key must be kept pressed (for more
than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to adjustment mode.

2.1.4 Adjustment Mode and Displaying the Calibration Counter
Contents [284|285]
To begin readjustment or to display the calibration counter contents, start the
scale and press another key while the display shows seca. The contents of the
calibration counter (i.e. the number of adjustment procedures carried out so far)
are then displayed for 18 seconds (flashing).
While the calibration count is displayed, a key must be kept pressed (for more
than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to adjustment mode.
Once you have switched to adjustment mode as described in section 2.1.3 or
2.1.4, the display shows the text “CAL”. By pressing any key except for the start
key for more than 1.5 seconds, the actual readjustment mode is activated. The
display reads "dec". The weight value currently measured then appears. The
scale is in decrementing state. To switch over from decrementing to
incrementing mode and vice versa press a key for more than 1.5 seconds with a
test weight placed on the scale. The display will read “dec” or “inc” accordingly.
The test weight is at least 25% of the max. load of the scale (we recommend
approx. 66-75%).
Adjustment can now be completed by pressing a key until the display shows
“Sto”. The scale computes and stores a new linearity coefficient and switches
off automatically. Your scale is now adjusted. Remove the test weight.
Note:
Timeout control is not active for the phase of placing and confirming the test weight.
To minimize adjustment errors, readjustment can only be carried out using a test
weight above 25 % and below 100 % of the max. load. Otherwise the error “Er:x:15”
will be displayed.

The selected test weight is 200 kg.
The current weight shown on the display is 199.7 kg (max. deviation of 300 g).
In this example, you must switch the scale to incrementing mode to carry out
readjustment. When the tare/hold key has been pressed (for more than 1.5
seconds), "inc" starts flashing.
Now increase the value by the first 10 g (by briefly pressing the tare/hold key).
After this has been repeated x times, the value 200.0 (rounded!) appears on the
display although the internal measured value still is 199.95 kg (not rounded!).
To correct this rounding error, increment the value five times by 10 g to obtain
exactly 200.00 as the calculated value.
Complete the readjustment procedure as described in section 2.1.5.
2.1.7 Example: Adjusting a Baby Scale with 10g Graduations
[374|376]
The selected test weight is 15 kg. The current weight shown on the display is
14.970 kg (max. deviation of 30 g).
In this example, you must switch the scale to incrementing mode to carry out
readjustment. When the tare/hold key has been pressed (for more than 1.5
seconds), "inc" starts flashing.
Now increase the value by the first 1 g (by briefly pressing the tare/hold key).
Each alteration is shown on the display.

2.3 Setting the Gravity Factor
[374|703|634|644|656|664|674|676|684|284|954]:
The gravity factor can only be set on non-approved models
[374|703|634|644|656|664|674|676|684|284|954].
Before the gravity factor can be set, the scale must first be switched to
adjustment mode (see section 2.1.3 or 2.1.4).
While the calibration count is displayed, a key must be kept pressed (for more
than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to adjustment mode.
As soon as the text “CAL” is displayed, press a key briefly (less than 1.5
seconds). The display shows “GAL”.
Then press a key (for more than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to the mode
for gravity factor setting. The display shows “dec” and then the gravity factor
currently set. The gravity factor is shown in mm/s².
The scale is in decrementing state.
If the gravity factor displayed matches the target value, no further setting is
required and the menu item can be closed.
If the gravity factor shown on the display needs to be adjusted, it must be
altered by pressing a key until it matches the gravity factor required. Estimate
whether the required gravity factor is easier to reach by decrementing or by
incrementing. To toggle between decrementing mode and incrementing mode,
press a key (for more than 1.5 seconds.) (Display shows dec or inc.)
Press the key for less than 1.5 seconds to increase or decrease the gravity
factor displayed by 5 mm/s². Repeat the procedure until the gravity factor
displayed and the target gravity factor match.
Gravity factor setting can now be completed by pressing a key until the display
shows “Sto”. The scale stores the new gravity factor and switches off
automatically.

Measuring the supply voltage at the electronics board provides information on
whether the supply lines to the battery compartment and/or the power supply
unit are OK. Carry out the measurement by connecting a multimeter to
measuring points A and B (see Appendix).
The most effective way to identify a defect of the load cell is using the diagnosis
function of seca serva 2.0; if this is not available you can alternatively use a
multimeter (see 4.2.1). A multimeter measurement, however, is less conclusive
so that it should always be second choice.

5 Software intended Purpose
The radio modules of the devices with NEC2 electronics
[374|376|378|703|704|284|285|634|635|644|645|656|657|664|665|674|675|676|
677|684|685|954|957|959|963] as well as the seca 360° wireless USB adapter
[456] contain software to control wireless communications. This software can be
updated using the Windows-based "seca wireless updater" program. Removing
or replacing the radio modules is generally not required.
The Windows program "seca wireless updater" has three functions:
The configuration of the selected wireless group is displayed.
A set-up process can be performed.
The software in the radio modules or in the wireless USB adapter can be
updated.
Updating a wireless USB adapter takes approximately 30 seconds, updating a
radio module in a device can take up to five minutes, depending on the quality
of the wireless transmission, but typically takes 1.5 minutes.
.
5.1 Installation and Start
The seca wireless updater is
installed on a service PC or
notebook using a Windows
installation program (Setup). The
latest version of the radio module
software is copied to the PC
together with the installation.
You can display the version
numbers of the PC software and the
radio module software installed on
the PC. To do so, select the menu
item “Help” - “About wireless
updater”. Example:

Software seca
5.2 Updating the Radio Module Software
Two cases can be distinguished:
1) The customer has a seca 360° wireless USB adapter [456] and has
carried out set-up for his seca devices and this wireless USB adapter.
In this case you should connect the customer's wireless USB adapter to
your service PC and update the entire wireless group from your PC.
2) The customer does not have a wireless USB adapter.
In this case you can use your own wireless USB adapter. Prior to
updating, set-up must be performed for the customer's devices.
Note! The customer's wireless group will be overwritten by the set-up
process. After updating, set-up of the customer's devices must be
repeated – without connecting your wireless USB adapter. Teaching in
again is necessary since otherwise the customer would receive error
messages in future informing him that the wireless USB adapter is not
available.
Information regarding the currently active wireless group is displayed in the
main window of the seca wireless updater. In the example shown, wireless
group 2 is active in which set-up has been performed for a wireless USB
adapter, a baby scale and a wireless printer.
The seca wireless updater attempts to establish a wireless connection to the
individual devices. Responding devices are indicated by a green symbol,
devices in the wireless group which have been taught in but which are currently
not available – e.g. because they are switched off – are indicated by a red
symbol. A blue symbol means that the corresponding device is in updating
14.11.12/RLEU/ARI/MRE 31/40 30-34-00-812c
Software seca
mode (the so-called download kernel). The “Refresh” button refreshes the
display.
5.3 Set-up Process
This function corresponds to the set-up process
carried out for a device. First of all, select the
current wireless group on the left in the main
window. You can now start teaching-in by
pressing the “Set up wireless group” button.
Change the suggested transmission channels if
required and confirm your selection with
“Confirm channels”.
Please switch on the devices to be taught in
one by one. Identification of the devices is
indicated by a series of green symbols. Set-up
is ended by pressing the “Complete login”
button.

5.4 Updating the Radio Module Software
The lower part of the main window is intended for the actual updating of the
radio modules. The radio modules in the active wireless group are shown in a
list together with a symbol.
Symbol Meaning
“No Action” – updating is not carried out.
“Waiting” – this radio module is going to be updated but is still in
the queue.
“Transmitting” – this radio module is just being updated.
“OK” – this radio module has been updated successfully.
“Error” – an error occurred while updating this radio module.
Use the buttons on the right to activate or deactivate updating of the individual
modules or enable all modules in the list to be updated in succession.

5.5 Technical Requirements for Updating
Updating by wireless transmission involves transferring large volumes of data.
You should therefore ensure you have a stable wireless connection.
The distance between the wireless USB adapter and the device to be updated
should - if possible - be less than 1.5 metres. For updating, you can connect the
wireless USB adapter to the PC using a standard 5 metre USB extension cable
(type A – type A) and hold or place the wireless USB adapter in the vicinity of
the relevant radio module.
Battery-operated devices are switched off after a certain period of time
[374|376|378|703|704|954|957|959|963]. Updating will only be successful if the
device is prevented from switching off during data transmission. On scales, this
can be achieved by placing a weight on the scale, changing the weight value or
activating the HOLD function. The head sliders of the length measuring rods
[264|274|284|285] must be moved from time to time. When scales and length
measuring rods are being updated, a red bar regularly appears in the main
window of the seca wireless updater to remind you to carry out
activation/moving.
5.6 Updating the Wireless Printer Software
Note: In addition to updating the radio modules, it is essential that new
software is also loaded on the seca wireless printers [465, 466]. If the previous
wireless printer software is used in conjunction with updated radio modules,
printing and teaching in the wireless printer is not possible.
The wireless printer software is updated automatically when an SD card with
the new contents is inserted. The revision contained on the card is given on the
sticker on the SD card. For the seca wireless printer 465, revision code 465d or
more recent is required (or 465dc, 465dj, 465dr for the Chinese, Japanese or
Russian version). The wireless printer 466, accordingly, requires revision code
466d, 466dc, 466dj, 466dr or more recent.

Software seca
5.7 Updating Old Printers
The printers of the old generation cannot be updated. This means they cannot
be used in an updated wireless group. Re-programming of the printer at the
seca headquarters in Hamburg is necessary.
The first printout shows whether the printer
already belongs to the new generation. The
new version consists of the download
kernel, i. e. the program core "08-06-15306a (rev. 10)" and the actual printer
software "08-06-15-307b (rev.33)". Updating
the software via SD card is possible if the
kernel number 306a – or a more recent
number (i.e. 306b, 306c, etc.) – is given on
the printout.
5.8 Problems with Updating
If the wireless connection is unstable, the PC program “seca wireless updater”
repeatedly attempts to send the radio module software. If this is unsuccessful
you can try to restart updating.
Remedies if Updating Fails
- Hold the wireless USB adapter closer to the radio module
- Avoid metal surfaces in the vicinity
- Do not stay in the immediate line of sight between the USB wireless adapter
and the radio module
- Wait until interferences from electrical units (e.g. drills) or heavy wireless
traffic (WLAN, bluetooth) have stopped
NEVER repeat set-up of the wireless group if an updating attempt has failed.
Set-up is not possible in updating mode – it would no longer be possible to
identify the corresponding device.
In rare cases, updating will fail entirely. The relevant radio module must then be
reaced. The radio module can be returned to the seca headquarters for repair.
