    One consequence of the design of the touch sensitive keypad is that it is sensitive to water streams. For this reason, WeighTech includes a unique “washdown mode” to prevent unwanted keypad activity during washdown/sanitation/cleanup intervals. When the indicator is in washdown mode, the indicator will weigh normally but the keypad is locked out.
  • Page 5: How To Step Through Menus

    To unlock the keypad, you must play follow the leader. One key will be lit. Press it. Another key will then light up. Press it. Continue until the indicator displays “Exit washdown”. The indicator will require that you press five keys in a row correctly before it will unlock the keypad.

    5.4 Establishing a zero The indicator will display “Cal–zero weight”. Clear the weighing platform of any foreign objects and once all vibration has died out, press the “Enter” key. Make sure that the platform is not disturbed during this process. Indicator will display “Zeroing...” as it takes an average reading of the zero offset weight (about three seconds).

    “Check Zero Opto” This warning message indicates that at least 20 items have been seen by the second optical sensor (weigh opto) and not seen by the first optical sensor (zero opto). It will clear automatically as soon as the zero opto detects an item.

    8.4 Setup Menu Parameters Enter the parameter menu, where all the important (nonvolatile) settings are located. A word of warning—the “Default” option exists to return the settings to the factory defaults. It will prompt for confirmation, but once you’ve defaulted the settings any changes you’ve made are gone forever.

Delay to KO Number of ticks from an item blocking the weigh beam to the knockoff. Adjust this value so that the rejects are properly knocked off the outfeed belt. KO duration Number of ticks that the knockoff will be extended.

    9.4 Before calling WeighTech... Write down a few key pieces of information. Gather the indicator serial number from the front panel, the software application name and build number from the “Info menu”, and grab the current settings if you have access to a Palm. If anything on the indicator has changed, been replaced, or been modified, mention that to the service technician too.
