THEORETICAL FULL SCALE (default: ): the system full scale is given by one cell capacity multiplied by the number of cells used. Example: 4 cells of 1000 kg FULL SCALE = 1000 x 4 = 4000. The instrument is supplied with a theoretical full scale value ...
DIVISION : the division is the minimum weight increment value which can be displayed. It is automatically calculated by the system according to the performed calibration, so that it is equal to 1/10000 of full scale. It can be changed and be variable between 0.0001 and 100 with x1 x2 x5 x10 increments. DIVISIONS Index Division...
MAXIMUM CAPACITY (BASE program) : maximum displayable weight (from 0 to full scale; default: 0). When the gross weight exceeds this value by 9 divisions, the display shows . To disable this function, set 0. COMMUNICATION INTERFACE WRITING READING ...
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS) After having performed the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION and the TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING, this function allows correct calibration to be done using sample weights of known value and, if necessary, any deviations of the indicated value from the correct value to be corrected.

PRESET TARE (SUBTRACTIVE TARE DEVICE) It is possible to set, through the communication interface, a preset tare value to be subtracted from the display value, provided that the ≤ condition is verified. In case of BASE program, to delete a preset tare and return to gross weight display keep the NET/GROSS input (if any) closed for 3 seconds.
PEAK (BASE program) By keeping the PEAK input closed or by activating the function through the communication interface, the maximum weight value reached remains displayed. By opening the input or by deactivating the function through the communication interface, the current weight is displayed. If you wish to use this input to view a sudden variation peak, set the FILTER ON THE WEIGHT to 0.
Minimum and maximum values which can be set for zero and full scale corrections: ANALOG OUTPUT TYPE Minimum Maximum 0÷10 V 10.200 0÷5 V 5.500 0÷20 mA 22.000 4÷20 mA 22.000 NOTE: the analog output may also be used in the opposite manner, i.e. the weight setting that corresponds to the analog zero () may be greater than the weight set for the analog full scale ().

NO COMPARISON TIME (from 0.0 to 999.9 seconds; default: 0.0): this is the instrument waiting time during batching, after the opening of PRESET, before comparing the weight with the programmed SET value.
FALL By FALL it means the correction of the product amount in fall after the batching STOP. This amount is in addition to the product already batched causing inaccuracy. The instrument is able to anticipate the batching STOP, to reduce this uncertainty, with two possible ways: - AUTOMATIC fall: the instrument automatically calculates the fall;...

TAPPING FUNCTION In the event that the batching instrument is not equipped with the speed “slow” it is possible to use this function to slow down the product batching in the final phase (through opening and closing cycles of the SET contact) and to increase the accuracy. Set in parameter the product amount you want to batch with the tapping function enabled.

When the remote display is set to gross weight: - if the instrument displays the gross weight, the remote display shows the gross weight. - if the instrument shows the net weight, the remote display shows the net weight alternated with the message .
In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the value “-” (minus sign - ASCII 45). In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the weight are substituted by the messages found in the table of the SERIAL PROTOCOLS ALARMS section.

Example: zeroing the weight of the instrument with address 2 For the calibration you have to make sure that the system is unloaded or that the instrument measures a signal equal to the mV in the same condition: query: $02z78(Cr) response: &02000000t\76(Cr) If the zeroing works correctly the instrument sends the zeroed weight value (“000000”).
CHECK-SUM CALCULATION The two ASCII characters (ckck) are the representation of a hexadecimal digit in ASCII characters. The check digit is calculated by executing the operation of XOR (exclusive OR) of 8-bit ASCII codes of only the string underlined. The procedure to perform the calculation of check-sum is the following: - Consider only the string characters highlighted with underlining - Calculate the exclusive OR (XOR) of 8-bit ASCII codes of the characters...
