1.2 Overview The newest electronics technology has been incorporated into the US-4000 to cut your setup time. Setup changes are downloaded "on the fly" with no lost production time. And now with pop-up windows for number pad and alphanumeric keypads, plus finger or object touch screens, operators are trained within minutes.
The US-4000 is equipped with an external regulator and the air supply should be fed to the US-4000 with ¼ inch O.D. poly tubing. Make the connection at the rear of the unit. Set the air pressure on the US-4000 between 35 and 45 PSI or a lower pressure, sufficient to actuate the opening and closing of the doors.
2.4 Hookups and Connections The side of the US-4000 electrical panel, located beneath the rotary drum, there is a port that connects to infeed systems to halt the operation of the system if a scale fault condition exists. Connection to this port is optional.

F5 - Function key 5: Backlight ON/OFF (locked in ON position). The contrast control for the Us-4000 is accessed through the function keys to the right of the touch screen. To enable the function keys, press the lavender SYSTEM key. Hold down the F2 key or depress it repeatedly to decrease the contrast and darken the touch screen display.
3.9 Calibrating Screen When the US-4000 is turned on, a Calibration Screen is displayed on the touch screen for approximately 30 seconds momentarily while the scale program initiates and automatically calibrates the load cell. See Fig. 3-1.
STOP. The US-4000 has been designed to operate as a stand-alone unit or operate within a system. A system is comprised of several units which may include baggers, counters, and/or conveyors. The auxiliary function of the parts counter is flexible dependent upon the equipment operating in the system.
When the product passes through the eye and the scale is empty, the accumulator door will open dropping the product onto the scale and initiate the cycle operation. In the WEIGHT mode, the accumulator door will be open unless the scale is cycling, awaiting a product. A product is detected when the product weighs greater than the UNDER setpoint (described in the Setting section of the this manual).
FUNNEL DELAY is the amount of time that the accumulator doors will remain open, allowing product to completely pass through the doors before the doors close. REJECT COUNT is value, if exceeded, will stop the operation of a system and alert the operator to make changes to the infeed system.
3.18 Job Save Screen The programming allows the operator to save up to 96 different settings for later recall, saving the job to a part number. See Fig. 3-7 through 3-10. To recall a job that has been saved, press the corresponding part number. The operator can view the settings by pressing the VIEW button and then press LOAD to use that job.
3.22 Quick Start Up Procedures The following checklist is provided to setup a new “job” on the scale. This checklist could be incorporated into your work instructions.
Page 29
QUICK STARTUP CHECKLIST US-4000 Check Weigh Scale For ITEM NO: __________________ Perform the following tasks when you have completed a job. These procedures will decrease setup time for product not run or saved in the job save function or for setting up jobs that change in weight due to lot variations.
4.1 Rotary Drum Positioning/Sensor Settings A photo sensor maintains the registration of the drum. The drum can be repositioned by either moving the photo eye or the sensor gap plate. Refer to drawings 4.2 to reposition the drum via the sensor gap plate.
