Admissibility For Certification (Scale -> Metrology); Selecting The Scale To Be Configured (Scale -> Scale 1/Scale 2); Querying The Value Of The Analog/Digital Converter (Scale -> Ramp); Serial Number Of The Scale Or Terminal (Scale -> Serial Number) - KERN FTB Service Manual

Only the settings and procedures for the "SCALE" and "TERMINAL" menus that are available exclusively to service technicians
are described here. The other menu options are described in the User Manual.
7.3 Admissibility for certification ( SCALE –> Metrology )
The following settings are available:
"no Appr"
"OIML"
"NTEP"
Caution: If a scale is certified, a number of scale settings are no longer available.
7.4 Selecting the scale to be configured ( SCALE –> Scale 1/Scale 2 )
Here you specify which scale you want to configure. This option is only available for two-scale systems, i.e. when the scale
or terminal has an analog option for connecting a second weighing platform.
The same menu blocks that are described in the sections below are available for both scales in the technician menu.
7.5 Querying the value of the analog/digital converter ( SCALE –> Ramp )
The percentage deflection of the analog/digital converter ("Ramp") can be displayed in this menu. This value can be used to
determine whether the load cell is operating correctly. Scales with identical and correctly operating load cells have roughly the
same ramp values. The value is dynamic and changes with the load.
Serial number of the scale or terminal ( SCALE –> Serial Number )
7.6
In this menu, you can display and change the serial number of the scale or terminal, which consists of seven digits. Note: The
number should only be changed or reentered if necessary (e.g. after a new scale PCB is installed). The serial number is found
on the rating plate of the scale or terminal.
The serial number can be entered with the numerical keypad for KMT-TM and terminals (ITT). Press
FTx and KMB/KMS-TM terminals (ITB/ITS). The first digit starts flashing and can now be changed with the
keys.
Confirm new digit with
following digits (seven total). To exit the block, press
7.7 Entering configuration data ( SCALE –> Scale Build )
This menu includes a number of different submenus for entering configuration data for the weighing system. These submenus
are described in the following sections:
Defining the scale type ("Scale Type")
Specifying the base unit ("Base Unit")
Choosing the verification interval ("Verification Interval")
Specifying the capacity of the weighing system ("Scale Capacity")
Choosing the resolution ("Resolution")
56
do not certify scale / no certifiable state
do certify to OIML / certified
do certify to NTEP / certified
. The second digit starts flashing and can be changed in the same way. This also applies for all
again after entering the last digit.
