1 PANTHER PLUS Terminal Overview
This manual provides detailed information for operating the PANTHER PLUS
Industrial Scale Terminal, a high performance, basic capability weighing
instrument designed to meet the needs of simple weight indicating and
over/under manual checkweighing. Information on installing, programming, and
servicing the PANTHER PLUS terminal can be found in the PANTHER PLUS
Terminal Technical Manual.
Review all instructions and safety precautions carefully. Installation and service
procedures should be performed only by authorized personnel.
If you encounter problems not covered in this manual, please contact your
authorized METTLER TOLEDO representative.
Operating Modes
and States
Gross and Net State
Operating Modes
To use the PANTHER PLUS terminal's various functions, you should first
understand basic weighing terminology, the differences between gross and net
state, and the terminal's various operating modes.
Gross State - A scale is in the gross state when a tare (the weight of a container
holding the product to be weighed) has not been taken. The full weight of the
items on the scale is shown on the display.
Net State - A scale is in the net state
after a tare has been taken. Only the
weight of the items added after the tare will be displayed and the net cursor will
be lit.
The PANTHER PLUS terminal can be used in three different modes, depending on
the application for which it is being used.
Indicator Mode - In Indicator Mode, the PANTHER PLUS terminal operates as a
normal scale. You may weigh products on the platform in the gross or net state,
and printing is possible. The over/under LEDs are not functional in this mode.
Over/Under Mode - Over/Under Mode is used when checkweighing products. A
product is placed on the scale and compared to a target weight (up to 10 preprogrammed weights can be stored). The display can be programmed to show
full gross weight or the difference from the target weight. The LEDs for Over,
Under and Accept can be enabled to help operators easily determine if the
product is within a preprogrammed tolerance of the target weight.

METTLER TOLEDO PANTHER PLUS Terminal User's Guide
Setpoint Mode - Setpoint Mode is used to perform operations associated with
filling and check filling applications. Setpoint and preact values can be set and
used in this mode.
Two other modes are also available in the PANTHER PLUS terminal to enable it
to perform specific functions.
Setup Mode - Setup Mode is used for making programming selections to enable
the PANTHER PLUS to be used for specific applications and to determine which
functions will be available to the operator using the terminal. NOTE: This mode is
only to be used by qualified personnel responsible for programming the
PANTHER PLUS.
MEMORY Recall Mode - To recall a target weight from memory, Memory Recall
Mode must be accessed by pressing the MEMORY key.
Display
The PANTHER PLUS terminal uses two types of displays on the front panel as
shown in figure 2-a below.
• To the right, a line of five multi-colored LEDs provides quick operator
feedback to over/under or setpoint conditions.
• On the left is the vacuum fluorescent, seven-digit, seven-segment
display. Below the display are legends which indicate gross or net
weight or lbs or kg units by means of a cursor that lights up.

under mode, the weight is greater than the over weight.
(YELLOW) In over/under mode, the weight is greater than the
high weight.
(GREEN) In setpoint mode, zero tolerance output is on. In
over-under mode, the weight is within the "accept" zone.
(YELLOW) In over-under mode, the weight is less than the low
weight.
(RED) In setpoint mode, setpoint output 2 is on. In over-under

Chapter 1: PANTHER PLUS Terminal Overview
Keypad
The PANTHER PLUS terminal keypad features the following function keys which
are used to perform various operations.
The ZERO key is used to compensate for small changes in weight when the
platform is empty. To zero the indication of weight, press ZERO when the scale is
in the gross state.
In Indicator Mode, the TARE key is used to subtract the weight of an object on the
scale from subsequent indications of weight. TARE is also used to terminate a
numeric tare entry.
The CLEAR key is used to clear a previously entered tare value. When you press
CLEAR, the indication of weight will return to the gross mode, showing the total
weight of the objects on the scale platform. The CLEAR key is also used to clear
an active target in over-under mode.

Numeric Data Entry
The MEMORY key is used to access target weight values. Operator access to
these values must be enabled in the Setup mode.
The SELECT key allows you to switch between primary and secondary weighing
units. It is also used in setup mode to select between “yes” and “no” replies and
to change displayed values.
The TARGET key is used to set or recall a target weight.
The PRINT key is used to initiate a serial output of the weight data. It is also used
to accept a response to a setup or programming question.
The PANTHER PLUS terminal keypad also features an 11-button keypad for
entering numeric data. The 11 buttons include 0-9 and a decimal point.

7. Place the material or container of material to be weighed on the scale when
it is at gross zero. The LEDs will light up indicating if the weight is over or
under the target weight.
NOTE: You will continue to use the target weight selected until you clear it by
pressing the CLEAR key.
Entering Setpoint
Values (Setpoint
Mode)
The PANTHER PLUS terminal is provided with the capability of two coincidence
setpoints with preact control. A setpoint is a target value used to stop a feeding
or discharging device. When the weight on the scale equals the setpoint value,
the setpoint output is turned off.
While setpoint values are always entered as positive values, the controls can be
set up to turn outputs off when either a positive value (feeding something onto
the scale) or a negative weight value (discharging from the scale into a
container). If this function was enabled in setup:
1. With the scale in the normal operating mode, press .
M
2. The display shows the first target [SP1 0].
3. If you do not want to view or edit the value, press . This moves you
to the next target. The display reads [ SP2 0 ].
4. To view or edit the current value, press .
The display reads [ SP1 1].
5. Press . The display now shows the current target value.
6. To enter a new value, use the numeric keys. The display will now show the
new value.
7. To accept the value, press .
8. If entering preact values was enabled in setup, [P1 0] will be displayed. If
not, you return to normal weighing mode.

Entering Preact Values
(Setpoint Mode)
Chapter 2: Operating the PANTHER PLUS Terminal
Advanced Functions
Preact values are used to anticipate the amount of material which may be
between the feeder and the scale when the feeder is turned off, or may be used to
anticipate the reaction time of the feeder or gate.
The preact amount is entered as a value relative to the setpoint. For example, if
you have a final weight on the scale of 100 kg, and the material which will fall
from the feeder as it stops will add another 2 kg, set your preact value for 2.
When the material settles on the scale, the final weight should be 100 kg.
A zero tolerance value is also available. This can be used as a control check to
make sure the hopper or scale has returned to within a preset tolerance of zero
before the next operation may begin. If the entering preact function was enabled
in setup:
1. After the setpoints have been accessed, [P1 0 ] is displayed.
2. If you do not want to view or edit the value, press . This moves you
to the next target. The display reads [ P2 0 ].
3. To view or edit the current value, press . The display reads [ P1 1].
4. Press . The display now shows the current target value.
5. To enter a new value, use the numeric keys. The display will now show the
new value.
6. To accept the value, press .
