2. INTRODUCTION
C2850 | C2880
The LOADRITE C2850 | C2880 Weighing System measures the weight of material shifted by a standard conveyor belt typically
found in quarries, mines or other similar bulk material applications.
Each C2850 | C2880 Integrator can measure multiple belts. Sensors under each belt measure the load on the belt and the
conveyor speed. These signals are read by the LOADRITE C2820|C2850|C2880 which calculates and displays the current
material rate and totals moved. It has an internal memory that stores settings and production data even when it is turned off.
The functionality of the LOADRITE C2850 | C2880 is designed to be as close as practical to other LOADRITE products found in
bulk material applications. This helps to reduce training needs for users.
C2820
The LOADRITE C2820 system imports tph and total weight information from the existing third-party belt scales and generates
productivity information.
The functionality of the LOADRITE C2820 is designed to be as close as practical to other LOADRITE products found in bulk
material applications. This helps to reduce training needs for users.

3. QUICK START GUIDE
3.1. TURNING ON THE INTEGRATOR
The LOADRITE Integrator will turn on automatically when you switch on the power.
3.2. UNATTENDED VS INTERACTIVE
The LOADRITE weighing system can be used in either an unattended or interactive manner. This means the system can either:
Operate independently without regular user input; or
Use functions that require a user to regularly enter data (such as product details).
Different functions described in this manual fall into either of these categories.
3.3. THE RUN SCREEN
The Run screen is the first screen that you will see when you turn on the Integrator. It displays the belt name, current material
rate (tph), short total and other information for between one and four scales.
Multiple scales
When two, three or four scales are connected to the Integrator, you can toggle between viewing multiple scales or viewing a
single scale:
Press or to toggle between all scales and one scale.
You must toggle to the single-scale view before you can use the following functions:
Clearing the short total
Zeroing the belt
Changing the Integrator
Viewing the long totals and life total
> Clearing the long total that is displayed.

3.3.1. One or two scales
The following is an example of the Run screen displaying information for a single scale. For two scales, the same information is
displayed side-by-side.
Component
Description
Belt name
The name of the belt.
Short Total (T(1))
The current short total of material that has been weighed.
NOTE: If a problem occurs with the scale, an error message will display here.
Material rate (TPH)
The current rate of material on the belt (tph). It is normal for the value to change up
and down (sometimes quickly) as material moves along the belt.
Belt speed (m/s)
The current speed of the belt.
Long Total (T(2))
The current Long Total 1 value of the material that has been weighed.
Other belts*
The current status of the other belts.
Clock
The current time.
Communications
Indicates that the Integrator is communicating or attempting to communicate with a
communications device.
* Only displays when multiple scales are active and a single scale is being viewed.
