  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction The Counterpart offers practical solutions for a full range of precision counting applications. A bright LCD display enables operators to easily view quantities, alphanumeric text messaging displays, part numbers to verify descriptions, and correct part called from memory. One hundred and fifty item memory and two RS-232 ports and Ethernet enable the Counterpart to provide real-time data collection and position it for the future growth of your business.

  • Page 14: Scale Base Assembly (If Purchasing The Scale Base Separate From Indicator)

    Scale Base Assembly (if purchasing the scale base separate from indicator) Do not turn the scale upside down. Always work with the scale on its side. Damage to the load cell can Important occur if the scale is turned upside down. Set up the scale on a stable, level surface.

  • Page 15: Leveling

    2.2.3 Leveling Select a location for the Counterpart that is reasonably level and free of vibrations and air currents. Adjust the four corner feet on the scale base and refer to the bubble level on the inside frame. The base should not rock and the feet should have solid contact with the surface.

    5. Up to five linearization points can be calibrated between the zero and span calibration values. Use the following commands to set and calibrate a single linearization point: SC.WLIN.V1=nnnnn<CR> SC.WLIN.C1<CR> The SC.WLIN.V1#n command sets the test weight value (nnnnn) for linearization point 1. The SC.WLIN.C1#n command calibrates the point.

  • Page 64: More About Calibration

    More About Calibration The following provides additional information about compensating for environmental factors (Section 4.6.1) and also provides diagnostic information for determining expected zero and span coefficients. 4.6.1 Adjusting Final Calibration Calibration may be affected by environmental factors including wind, vibration, and angular loading. For example, if the scale is calibrated with 1000 lb, a strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the calibration is 3 lb high.

  • Page 65: Scale Operations

    Scale Operations The following contains detailed operator instructions for Counterpart, including instructions on how to enter tare weights, toggle between net and gross weight, enter unit weights, perform inventory accumulation and reduction, and toggle between scales. All operator instructions are conducted with the scale in the operation mode that is the weighing or normal mode.

  • Page 66: Toggling Between Gross And Net

    Toggling Between Gross and Net To toggle between net and gross weight, a tare value must be entered into the scale. See Section 5.2 to enter a tare value. After a tare value is entered into the scale, items placed on the scale will cause the annunciator to illuminate and allow toggling between net weight and gross weight.

  • Page 67: Unit Weight Operation By Sampling

    5.4.1 Unit Weight Operation by Sampling Unit weight operation by sampling is accomplished by placing a 10 piece sample on the scale and then pressing the key.

    Customizing Print Formats The following sections describe procedures for customizing the formats using the EDP GFMT NFMT CFMT ® port, the front panel ( menu), and the Revolution configuration utility. PFORMT 7.2.1 Using the EDP Port With a personal computer, terminal, you can use the EDP command set to customize the print format strings. To view the current setting of a format string, type the name of the string ( ) and press GFMT.FMT...

    Using the XE and XEH EDP Commands The XE and XEH EDP commands can be used to remotely query the Counterpart for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns a 5-digit number in the format: xxxxx where contains a decimal representation of any existing error conditions as described in Table 9-2.

  • Page 100: Digital Filtering

    Digital Filtering The Counterpart uses averaged digital filtering to reduce the effect of vibration on weight readings. Adjustable threshold and sensitivity functions allow quick settling by suspending filter averaging, allowing the weight reading to jump to the new value. Figure 9-2 shows the digital filter parameters on the CONFIG menu. DFLTR1 DFLTR2 DFLTR3...

  • Page 101: Setting The Digital Filter Parameters

    9.6.3 Setting the Digital Filter Parameters Fine-tuning the digital filter parameters greatly improves indicator performance in heavy-vibration environments. Use the following procedure to determine vibration effects on the scale and optimize the digital filtering configuration. 1. In menu mode, set all three digital filters (DFLTR1, DFLTRL2, DFLTR3) to 1. Set DFTHRH to NONE. Return indicator to normal mode.
