Page 7: Installation
INSTALLATION UNPACKING This indicator must be connected to a load cell platform and calibrated as necessary to match the platform and user requirements. See Section 15 for set-up information. The user’s application and the technical specifications of the platform or load cell will determine the necessary configuration. -
Page 8: Connection
The cable length should be as short as possible, using a large size wire to minimise errors due to resistance in the leads. GK-Mplus model must use the 6 wire connection and has certain limitations for wire size and length. Refer to the Approval Test Certificate for details. © Adam Equipment Company 2019 ... -
Page 9: Keypad And Display
Figure 1A shows the connections to a 6 wire load cell. Figure 1B shows a preferred method to attach a 4 wire load cell, using a 6 conductor cable to go from the indicator to the platform or load cell where it connects to the 4 wires from the load cells. Excitation and sense wires are connected together near the load cell. - Page 10 [Low Limit] It sets the limits for check weighing None and allows setting of either the low & limit or the high limit or both.

Page 12: Calibration Counter For Approved Indicators
CALIBRATION COUNTER FOR APPROVED INDICATORS With approved GK-Mplus indicators we have the ability to control access to the calibration or metrology parameters using a passcode to limit access. The requirements for doing this stipulate the code should be apparent and recorded in a suitable location on the indicator. -
Page 13: Battery
BATTERY The indicators can be operated from the rechargeable battery, if desired. The battery life is determined by the number and impendence of the load cells connected. With a single load cell and backlight disabled the life is approximately 70 hours before needing to be recharged. -
Page 14: Operation
10.0 OPERATION 10.1 ZEROING You can press the [Zero] key at any time to set the zero point, from which, all other weighing and counting is measured. This will usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show the zero indicator. ... -
Page 15: Weighing
NOTE: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the indicator was tared just before removing the container, this value is the gross weight of the container plus all products which were removed. The zero indicator will also be on as the platform is back to the same condition it was when [Zero] was pressed last. - Page 16 Either place 10 parts on the platform for determining the average piece weight or use a different number of parts. For example, place 20 parts on the platform, press [CE] to clear the last values and then enter the value 20 using the numeric keypad. ...

Page 17: Check-Weighing
To count a different sample quantity, press the [Cnt] key. The display will show the last used sample size. Either use this sample size with a different part or enter a new sample size as above . ... -
Page 18: Setting Up While Weighing
Mass on the platform is above the high limit Green Mass is between the limits Amber Mass is below the low limit The limits can be locked by the manager. A Limit Password must be used to change the limits or recall other limits from memory. If Limit Password is enabled then enter the password which will allow you to change the limits or the operation of the beeper. -
Page 19: Limits Storing And Recalling
NOTE: 1. The weight must be greater than 20 scale divisions for the check-weighing to operate. 2. To disable the check weighing function, enter zero into both the limits as described above. When the current limits are shown, press [CE] to clear the settings, then press [Tare] to store the zero values. -
Page 20: Percent Weighing
If you wish to recall any of the pre-stored limits, press [Tare] when “rECALL” is displayed. The display shows “rEC ”. Enter the number corresponding to the desired memory location (0 ” to 9) to be recalled. “rEC X will be displayed for 2 seconds indicating the values stored in the location “X”... - Page 21 Press [Tare] again to enter percent weighing. The indicator will set the sample mass on the platform as 100% reference weight. NOTE: If there is no reference weight on the pan and percent weighing function is entered, pressing [Tare] again will return the indicator to normal weighing.
