3.3 GENERAL SCALE OPERATION

3.3.1 WEIGHING AN ITEM

1. If your TC-2010 is connected to remote scale, use the LOCAL/REMOTE key to select

the scale you wish to use to do the weighing.

2. If necessary, press the “Zero” soft key to obtain a weight reading of zero.

3. Place the object to be weighed on the scale’s platter and allow the weight indication to

stabilize. If the item weight exceeds the scale’s weight capacity, it displays “Maximum Scale Weight Exceeded”.

4. Read the weight shown on the display.

Note: If you wish to change the unit of measure, press the “Mode” soft key followed by the “Unit” soft key.

3.3.2 TARING AN ITEM OF UNKNOWN WEIGHT

To weigh an item in a container, the weight of that container must first be subtracted from the overall weight to obtain an accurate weight reading. This is known as a Tare.

1. If your TC-2010 is connected to remote scale, use the LOCAL/REMOTE key to select

the scale you wish to use to do the weighing.

2. If necessary, press the “Zero” soft key to obtain a weight reading of zero.

3. Place the empty container on the scale’s platter and allow the weight indication to

stabilize.

4. Press the “Tare” soft key. The display shows zero weight and turns on the TARE and

NET annunciators.

5. Place the material to be weighed in the container and allow the weight indication to

stabilize.

6. Read the weight shown on the display.

3.3.3 TARING AN ITEM OF KNOWN WEIGHT

If the weight of the container or object is known, you may enter this weight via the keyboard. This value must be rounded to the nearest scale division. For example, on a 60 x 0.002 lb scale, you must enter the tare weight value to the nearest 0.002 lb.

1. If your TC-2010 is connected to remote scale, use the Local/Remote key to select the

scale you wish to use to do the weighing.

2. Press the FUNCTIONS hard key.

3. Press the MORE soft key.

4. Press the KTARE soft key. Scale prompts “Key in tare value in XX” (either lb or kg

depending on unit selected)

5. Using the numeric keys, enter the known tare weight using the scale keyboard and press

ENT. The display shows minus weight and turns the NET annunciator on. Place the material to be weighed in the container and allow the weight indication to stabilize.

6. Read the weight shown on the display.

Page 13

3.3.4 CLEARING A TARE

1. To clear a tare, press the CLR key twice at any time. The TARE and NET annunciator

disappears and gross weight is displayed.

3.3.5 PIECE COUNTING

This mode is used to indicate the number of pieces of an item you have placed on the scale’s platform and is accessed by pressing the “Sample” soft key.

Piece counting is accomplished by determining an average piece weight (APW). The two variables that affect the accuracy of the APW are the number of samples used and the total weight of the samples. The TC-2010 allows you control over these two variables. See section

5.3.1 Minimum Accuracy Feature and see section 5.3.2 Minimum Sample Size. Setting these two functions guards against an APW of the items that is too light and also guards against the total weight of the sample being too light. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed without adequate sample size and sample weight. If the sample pieces don’t meet the minimum requirements, you will get an error message to add additional pieces to achieve the preset level of counting accuracy.

3.3.5.1 Create a new APW from sampling

1. If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first place the empty

container on the scale platform and then press the “Tare” soft key. The scale switches to NET mode and sets the displayed weight to zero.

NOTE: Enabling the Auto Tare feature in the Supervisor Menu (Chapter 5) can eliminate this step.

2. Press the “Sample” soft key. The scale will display “Add X PCS to Platter then Press

the ENT key” as determined from section 5.3.2 Minimum Sample Size. You may choose a larger sample size from the soft keys or press the KEYIN soft key and enter any size sample number.

3. Place the sample pieces on the platform all at once and press the ENT key to complete

the sample process. If the sample pieces used meet the accuracy criteria set in section

5.3.1 Minimum Accuracy Feature and 5.3.2 Minimum Sample Size, the scale will now calculate the APW and display the number of pieces and APW on the scale. If it does not, the scale displays a prompting message to add a certain number of pieces to continue piece counting.

NOTE 1: You can eliminate the need to press the ENT key by enabling the Auto Sampling feature in the Supervisor Menu (Chapter 5).

NOTE 2: You can program the scale to automatically switch from the local scale to the remote scale (if equipped) by enabling the Auto Switch Channel feature in the Configuration Menu (Chapter 5). The scale will automatically switch channels after a successfully sample has been made.

3.3.6 CLEARING THE PIECE COUNT

1. To clear the piece count, either press the CLR key twice or press the SAMPLE soft key

and begin a new sample process.

NOTE: You can eliminate the need to press the CLR key by enabling the Auto Tare APW Clear feature in the Configuration Menu (Chapter 5). Be careful here, enabling auto clear functions require a new tare and APW input each time the scale weight goes to zero.

Page 14

CHAPTER 4: ADVANCED FEATURES AND OPERATION

4.1 UNIT WEIGHT ENTRY

The APW may already be known from using another scale, an engineered standard or from a bar coded label. If you already know the APW (Average Piece Weight of the items you wish to count, then use one of the following procedures.

4.1.1 APW ENTRY FROM KEYBOARD

1. Press the “Sample” soft key. The scale prompts you to add pieces to the platter.

2. Press the “APW” soft key. The scale prompts you to choose either KEYIN or TCS.

3. Press the KEYIN soft key. The scale prompts you to input the average piece weight.

4. Using the numeric and decimal point keys, key-in the actual APW value.

5. Press the ENT key. If the unit weight is large enough, the scale will now display the number of pieces on the scale. If it does not, the scale briefly displays an error message, but still allows piece counting.

NOTE 1: If the scale displays a “Low Resolution” message, the unit weight of the items you wish to count is too light for your scale to process accurately.

4.1.2 APW ENTRY FROM SCANNER

To use this method, you must have a working CCD or laser scanner plugged into the COM2 port and the TC-2010 scale must have printed the barcode you are scanning. See section 5.4.7 for COM 2 setup.

1. If an APW is already showing on the display, press the CLR key twice to clear APW from scale.

2. Aim the scanner at the APW barcode you wish to scan and press the trigger. When the scanner beeps, the TC-2010 scale will briefly display the scanned-in APW.

3. Place your parts on the TC-2010 scale. If the APW is large enough, the TC2010 scale will now display the number of pieces on the scale. If it does not, the scale briefly displays an error message, but still allows piece counting.

4.1.3 UPLOAD APW FROM TC SERIES SCALE1

To use this method, you must have either a TC-100 or a TC-200 scale connected to COM2. See Appendix B for pin outs. NOTE: Scanner must be selected for COM2 in section 5.4.7.

NOTE: The TC-100 or TC-200 scale must be configured for “Transmit APW Mode”. See scale manual for more information.

1. If an APW is already showing on the display, press the CLEAR key twice on the

Also works with PBS Series scale.

TC-2010 scale to clear current APW.

2. Perform the sampling on the TC-100 or TC-200 scale.

3. On the TC-2010 scale, press the “Sample” soft key. The scale prompts you to add pieces to the platter.

4. Press the “APW” soft key. The scale prompts you to choose either KEYIN or TCS (TC Series).

5. Press the “TCS” soft key. The TC-2010 attempts to communicate with the TC Series scale. If successful, the TC-2010 will briefly display the uploaded APW.

6. Place your parts on the TC-2010 scale. If the APW is large enough, the TC2010 scale will now display the number of pieces on the scale. If it does not, the scale briefly displays an error message, but still allows piece counting.

4.2 ITEM ID STORAGE

Your scale can store piece weight information for up to 2000 item records. These items are stored and retrieved under an Item ID number. The Item ID numbers are sequential 0 –2000, maintained automatically by the scale and cannot be changed. Each item record stores the following information:

• Item ID – a 4 digit sequential number automatically assigned each time a new Item ID is stored

• Product ID – an alphanumeric field consisting of up to 15 characters

• Name – an alphanumeric filed consisting of up to 25 characters

• Accumulator – whole number up to approx 99,999,999.

• Average Piece Weight (APW)

NOTE: After sampling, the APW is automatically stored in this field.

• Tare Weight – of the Container for Local Scale

• Tare Weight – of the Container for Remote Scale (if equipped)

• Unit – unit of measure (saved automatically)

After sampling an item, you can store its information automatically by adding a new item entry. Once created and stored, you can recall and modify the item’s information by calling up its Item ID number. A list of all stored items can be called up very easily.

4.2.1 RECALLING AN EXISTING ITEM ENTRY

1. Press the Item ID soft key. The scale prompts for the Item ID number.

2. Key-in the sequential four digit Item ID number and press the ENT key. The scale automatically recalls the stored information.

NOTE 1: If you do not know the four digit Item ID number, press the LIST soft key. The scale displays the screen shown in Figure 4-1. Four Item IDs are shown for each screen. Use the up/down arrow soft keys to move within the four Item Ids shown. Use the PgUp and PgDn soft to recall additional groups of four Item Ids. If your list of Item Ids is long, press the ENT key and the scale prompts “Input Item ID:” Enter the starting Item Id number and the list will begin with that number. Some fields may be truncated due to display limitations. Once the desired item is highlighted, press the Recall soft key.

NOTE 2: If you wish to key in the Product ID rather than the sequential Item ID, Press the ITEM ID soft key, then press the KEYIN soft key and the scale prompts “Enter Product ID”. Enter the Product ID and press ENT. The scale loads the APW and other record information and begins counting.

Page 16

NOTE 3: If so equipped, you may use your scale’ s barcode scanner to scan in the Product ID rather than the sequential Item ID number from a pre-printed label. The scale loads the APW and other record information and begins counting.

NOTE 4: If using the remote QWERTY keyboard, use the ENTER key from the

remote keyboard for Product ID.

CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION

6.1 CALIBRATION OVERVIEW

Your TC-2010 scale ships from the factory fully calibrated as a stand alone unit. If you are using the TC-2010 without a remote scale or the remote scale has been installed for you, then calibration is not necessary. In general, there is no need to calibrate the scale unless you feel that it has become inaccurate. It is a good idea to check the calibration of your scale from time to time with a precision test weight. Transcell recommends that you perform a new calibration on your digital scale at least once a year.

Note: If you wish to install the remote scale yourself - or you are a scale installer - then

you must configure and calibrate the remote scale before it can be used. The remote scale’s installation and wiring instructions are found in Appendix D. The Service Menu (Chapter 5) configures the scale to your remote weigh platform. Transcell recommends letting a professional install the remote scale unless you have previous experience in this field.

During calibration, up to four values are saved in the scale’s memory – the zero value (deadweight) and up to three span values (test weights). If you are calibrating the local scale, see Table 6-1 for a listing of minimum and recommend test weights. In the unlikely event that either value is lost while in use, the Service menu makes provisions for re-entering these values. See Chapter 5 for more information.
