5. After ensuring that all parts are present, store the DMC-782 scale box for possible future use. Repacking If the DMC-782 coin counting scale must be returned for modification, calibration or repair, it must be properly packed with sufficient cushioning materials. Whenever possible, use the original carton when shipping the DMC-782.
Powering Up the DMC-782 The DMC-782 can be operated either from an AC power source or with a rechargeable battery pack (DC power). The DC power allows the unit to be completely portable. Instructions for DC operation are contained in Section 2.4.2.
DC Battery Pack Replacement/Installation An optional DC battery pack (PN 108516) for the DMC-782 is available and can be purchased from RLWS to ship with the scale or retrofit in the field. The rechargeable 6V 5.0 AH battery pack allows for up to 380 hours of scale use without an AC power supply (with the backlight off).
The Initial Start Range settings are controlled by SPEC 20, Bit 1. The default setting is 0: ± 10% OF Note FULL SCALE. If this error appears, remove the weight from the platform and the scale will continue its startup sequence. DMC-782 Operation Manual...

Then the display will return to the weighing mode with the calibrated weight showing in the Weight window. 7. To exit the Maintenance Mode and save your calibration, power down your DMC-782 scale. To exit the Maintenance Mode and return to the Weighing Mode without saving your calibration, press the TARE key.

Scale Operations The following sections contain detailed operator instructions for the DMC-782 coin counting scale (see Figure 5-1). Included are instructions on how to enter tare weights, how to enter unit weights, and how to perform counting operations. Figure 5-1. DMC-782 Coin Counting Scale Entering, Recalling and Adding/Subtracting Tare Weights This section will describe the different tare-related operations you can perform from the weighing mode.
1. Press the key for the value of the coin or token you wish to count. (Example: To count dimes, press the 10 cents key.) 2. Place the coins or tokens on the scale platform. The display will show the weight, denomination, and total value of the coins or tokens on the scale. DMC-782 Operation Manual...
To switch the display to show the number of coins or tokens rather than their total value, press the QTY/AMT key. To return the display to visualize total value, press the QTY/AMT key. 3. When done with the coin counting operation, remove the coins or tokens from the scale platter. Press the CLEAR key to clear the data recalled.

6. Press the CLEAR key to clear the coin data. 7. Place the coins to tokens of the next denomination on the scale platform. The display will show the weight, denomination, and total value of the coins or tokens now on the scale. DMC-782 Operation Manual...
PC and clear the current total. The Memory indicator will no longer be illuminated. Counting Coins Out of a Cash Drawer A common use for the DMC-782 coin counting scale is to get a total of the coins in cash register drawers. 1. Place the cash drawer on the scale.
Deletion of a Preset Key with all of its associated information (Unit Weight, Tare Weight and Value) can only be done from the programming mode. See Section 6.5 for procedures on deleting item codes or specific items associated with item codes. DMC-782 Operation Manual...
Program a Value and Unit Weight Where the Unit Weight is Known The DMC-782 has the capacity to store information on up to 25 items (9 of which can be assigned to the preset keys F15 to F23). This section details the procedure for storing the value, tare weight, and unit weight to be associated with a coin, token or item.
Step 7 below to save the data and exit from the Programming Mode. If the DMC-782 software detects that the sample size is insufficient to accurately calculate a unit weight for this coin or token, the scale will request that you increase the sample size as described in Step 6 below.
Delete Preset Coin Data from Memory The DMC-782 allows you to delete preset coin data from memory if you no longer need the data or want to reprogram the key for another item. The following procedure describes the steps used to delete a single specific set of coin data (tare weight, unit weight, and value).
DMC-782 Error Message List The DMC-782’s alphanumeric display allows for detailed error messages.
