  • Page 6: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION • IPSW scales provide accurate, fast and versatile general purpose type weighing scales with parts counting, percentage weighing and check-weighing functions. • IPSW scales have LED’s next to the display to indicate when a weight is below the low limit, in between the limits or above the high limit. These can work in conjunction with an audible alarm for check weighing as well as the display showing LOW, OK and HI.

  • Page 8: Installation

    INSTALLATION UNPACKING The scale has already been adjusted to work with the platform and has been configured for this application. The platform and indicator have been calibrated as a pair and must be used together. LOCATING • The scale should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy.
  • Page 9: Setting Up The Scale

    SETTING UP THE SCALE • Remove the Indicator from its box and fix it to the U shaped bracket using the two fixing handles. Take the Indicator and place it onto the pillar ensuring the slack cable is pushed inside. Fix the Indicator to the pillar using the screw provided.
  • Page 10: Key Descriptions

    KEY DESCRIPTIONS Used to reset the display to zero. Tares the scale. Used to deduct and store the weight currently on the scale if it is not required as part of the final weighing result. is of an “Enter” key used when A secondary function, setting up a value for the Parameters.
  • Page 11: Display

    DISPLAY The LCD display will show a value as well as the unit currently being used. In addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below, inside or above the check- weighing limits. Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET), the scale is at zero and stable, if a value has been stored in memory, or when the animal weighing function has been enabled.
  • Page 12: Taring

    TARING • Zero the scale by pressing the [➔0/T] key if necessary. The “ZERO” indicator will be ON. • Place a container on the platform and a value for its weight will be displayed. • Press the [➔0/T] key to tare the scale. The weight is deducted and stored as the tare value leaving zero on the display.
  • Page 13: Weighing A Sample

    WEIGHING A SAMPLE To determine the weight of a sample, first tare the empty container if it is to be used and then place the sample in the container. The display will show the net weight of the sample and the unit of weight currently in use.
  • Page 14: Check-Weighing

    • Pressing the [Unit/] key will display the net weight (pcs and kg), pressing it second time will display the unit weight (g/pcs) and the third time, it will be the count again (pcs). • Press the [Pcs/] key to return to normal weighing. Press the [Pcs/] key again to start counting a different sample.
  • Page 15: Percent Weighing

    PERCENT WEIGHING The scale can be set to perform percent weighing. See Section 7.2. The scale will use a mass on the platform as the 100% reference weight. If the platform is empty (or the scale is tared) then the user can input a reference weight using the keypad. NOTE: The weight value entered as 100% must be greater than 50 scale divisions.
  • Page 16: Animal (Dynamic) Weighing

    • Press the [➔0/T] key. “P1 PCt” will be displayed. • Press [➔0/T] again to enter percent weighing. The scale will now accept a value the user enters as the reference weight. • Enter the value using the [Unit/] key and [Pcs/] key to select and set the value of the 100% mass.
  • Page 17 ANIMAL WEIGHING PROCEDURE • With the platform empty the display will show zero weight. Place containers or blankets onto the platform and press the [➔0/T] key to zero the display. The scale may go into the animal (dynamic) weighing procedure when the items are placed on the scale but will return to showing zero when the [➔0/T] key is pressed.
  • Page 18: User Parameters

    USER PARAMETERS Pressing the [Func/C] key during normal operation allows the user to access the parameters for customizing the scale. The parameters are split into 4 groups:- 1. Check weighing parameters, 2. Percent and Animal Weighing Functions 3. RS-232 parameters 4.
  • Page 19: Percent Weighing And Animal Weighing

    F3 bEP bP inL This parameter sets the bP oFF - Off Beeper to off or on. If set to on, bP inL - Within limits the beeper can further be set bP otL - Outside limits to sound when the weighing (>20d) result is within or outside the check-weighing limits.

    Connections to the relay drivers: Connections are made to the PCB, Connector P1. The connector is a spring activated type, simply press on the top of the connector and insert the wire. Do not exceed the safe limits of voltage or current of 24VDC or 15ma per output. Depending upon the application it may be necessary to use a small relay to drive larger relays, or to provide additional protection to prevent electromagnetic interference (diodes as shown above) to this or other machinery.
