Annunciators - Cardinal 204 Operation Manual

UNITS / (UP ARROW) KEY
This key is used to change the weighing units to the alternate units of measurement if selected
during setup of the indicator (WEIGHTING UNITS = 3 or 4). For example, with pounds
displayed (lb annunciator turned on) pressing this key will change the weighting units to
kilograms (kg annunciator will turn on). Note! This feature must be enabled during setup and
calibration for this key to be operational. This key is also used during setup and calibration to
increment the value.
✱ /
(ASTERISK / LEFT ARROW)
This key is used to lock and unlock the display. If enabled during setup and calibration, (Hold
Key Enable), pressing this key (after obtaining a stable weight value) will cause the indicator to
lock onto the weight and turn on the asterisk annunciator on the display. Pressing this key a
second time will unlock the display and turn off the asterisk annunciator. This key is also used
during setup and calibration to select the digit to change.
NOTE! The lock feature is for non-commercial (NOT "Legal for Trade") applications.
PRINT
Pressing this key will initiate the transmission of weight data via the serial I/O port unless the
continous data output feature was enabled during setup and calibration or setup review. Note!
If the continuous data output feature was selected, this key will be disabled. This key is also
used to save the current setting during setup and calibration.
NOTE! The indicator will not respond to the Print command unless the weight display is
stable. If displaying gross weight, the only weight printed is gross weight. If displaying net
weight, the gross, tare, and net weights are printed.
The 204 includes support for nControl .
is a PC based program that can design a ticket
then download the ticket information to the
indicator. The 204 allows 2 programmable
formats in addition to the standard print tab
settings format. NOTE! When the PRINT key is
pressed the indicator looks for the selected
format. If no "nControl" ticket is found, the default
ticket is used.
For more information on nControl, refer to the nControl Fast Start Guide.
The annunciators are turned on to indicate that the display is in the mode corresponding to the
annunciator label or that the status indicated by the label is active.
0 (Center-of-Zero)
The Center-of-Zero annunciator is located to the right of the weight display and is turned on to
indicate that the weight is within +/- 1/4 division of the center of zero.
(Stable)
The (Stable) annunciator is located to the right of the weight display and is turned on when the
weight display is stable. When off, it means that the change in successive weight samples is
greater than the motion limits selected during setup and calibration of the indicator.
