16.4 “SCREEN SAVER” FUNCTION (OPTIONAL) If the indicator is fitted with the date/time function, it is possible to enable the “Screen Saver”: after a programmable time (from 1 to 255 minutes) with the scale unloaded, the time is shown on the display, in the “HH-MM-SS”...

17 SELECTABLE OPERATING MODES In addition to the STANDARD weighing mode with TARE deduction and transmission of data, the indicator can carry out one of the following functions: kg/lb CONVERSION, NET/GROSS SWITCH, SET POINT ON THE GROSS WEIGHT, SET POINT ON THE NET WEIGHT, IN/OUT, ALIBI, DISPLAY WITH SENSITIVITY X 10, HOLD THE DISPLAY, PEAK, HORIZONTAL TOTALIZER, VERTICAL TOTALIZER, PIECE COUNTING.
Page 6
The instrument automatically goes to the following step. Press many times the C key until the display shows the message “SAVE?”. Press ENTER to confirm the changes made or another key to not save. 17.1 HOLD: FREEZING THE WEIGHT ON THE DISPLAY (HLd) By pressing MODE, the value of the weight is held on the display, and the display shows HoLd alternately with the weight held value (every 5 sec).

Rewriting number: number of 5 digits which may go from 00000 to 00255; it indicates the number of complete rewritings of the alibi memory. Weigh number: number of 6 digits which may go from 00000 to 131072; it indicates the weigh number in the current rewriting of the alibi memory With each storage the weigh number is increased of 000001;...
Page 8
If the alibi memory is empty, when the MODE key is pressed the message “EMPTY” appears for about a second, an error acoustic signal is enabled and one returns to weighing. If the entered ID is not valid, in other words, if there is no stored weigh relative to the entered ID, the message "...

setting of the “ rEACT ” parameter in the SET-UP environment, in other words, either after passing by the net zero of the scale, by instability or always (see section “REENABLING OF THE PRINTOUTS AND THE INDICATOR FUNCTIONS”). If the presence of a printer has been configured, the "MODE" key or automaticly causes also the printing of the weight values.

18 SERIAL RS232 AND 485 OUTPUT The instrument has two serial outputs (1 unidirectional and 1 bidirectional), which have the output in ASCII code compatible with the majority of printers, remote displays, PCs and other devices. It is bi-directional (halfduplex) and uses an RS232 or RS485 for transmitting data. It is mainly used to connect computers, PLCs, additional remote displays.

TRANSMISSION WHEN THE PRINT KEY IS PRESSED “Prin.Std”, “PrinEX” parameter The instrument communicates the weight data through the serial port when the ENTER key is pressed (except for in the TOTALIZER mode where one should press the MODE key). For non approved instruments: The transmission takes place if the weight is stable and the net weight is >...
Page 17
- Reenabling the transmission depends on how the “rEACt” step has been set in the SET- UP environment (passage by zero of the NET weight or instability of the NET weight of 20 divisions; by choosing “always” it works upon instability). The data is transmitted using the standard string (StAb.St) or the extended string (StAb.EX);...

19 PROGRAMMING THE PRINTOUTS If in the set-up environment the presence of the printer has been configured correctly, the indicator carries out the print functions; each functioning mode has specific printouts, shown in the “Print examples” . In any case, it is possible to define some printing fields, the size of the characters, a heading and other options depending on the printer and the predefined functioning mode.
