Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION This manual was created to help you install and learn all about the functional possibilities of the purchased indicator. The instrument is suitable for use in various weighing environments. Not only does it have all the normal features of high-precision scales, but it also gives you the possibility to work in specific environments due to the functioning modes contained in the software implemented in the FLASH MEMORY on the internal board. - Page 8 INTRODUCTION Do not install in any area where there is a risk of explosion. The crossed-out wheeled bin on the product means that at the product end of life, it must be taken to separate collection or to the reseller when a new equivalent type of equipment is purchased.

Page 32: Dosage
DOSAGE DOSAGE The programme has been made to manage automatic/manual multi component dosages, in loading and in unloading, with tolerance control, accumulation, and printing of the executed formulas. The input/output allows for the automatic dosage management, for the selection of the formulas and for other functions (see technical manual). -
Page 33: Automatic Dosage" Type Of An Activities
DOSAGE EXAMPLE: FORMULA: dosagE 01 AUTOMATIC MANUAL TIMER TOTAL UNLOADING DOSAGE DOSAGE Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3 Activity 4 In the suggested example, the instrument will execute an automatic dosage as first activity, and then a manual dosage, then a timer activity, and then, the total unloading of the silo. The execution order of the activities depends on the order in which these are entered when programming the formula: the first entered activity will be the first executed one, etc. -
Page 34: Manual Dosage" Type Of An Activities
DOSAGE remains until a weight value is reached in which the SLOW WEIGHT + FLIGHT WEIGHT is missing from the FINAL WEIGHT. 2. At this point the AUTOMATIC SLOW DOSAGE is displayed indicating the end of the fast dosage and the beginning of the slow dosage. -
Page 35: Unloading" Type Of An Activities
DOSAGE instrument passes directly to the following activity. By setting a value > than 0 but less than “99999.9”: The activity is automatically ended after the weight has reached and exceeded the set target value and the time is elapsed. The system goes into “EERROR: TIME OUT”... -
Page 36: Split Total Unloading
DOSAGE maximum speed and does not foresee the tolerance check. The display, during the unload activity, shows the “UNLOAD ALL” message. As soon as the weight reaches the TOTAL UNLOADING END a wait time starts equal to the WAIT FOR DISCHARGE END ( Once the wait time is finished the activity ends, with subsequent disabling of the fast dosage and product outputs. -
Page 37: Partial Unloading
DOSAGE activity has ended: automatically or manually (by pressing the external INPUT 1 or the START button). Each following unloading will be manually enabled by pressing the external INPUT 1 or the START button: in this way the operator, for example, can change the container with each partial unloading. - Page 38 DOSAGE therefore the instrument gives the possibility to load the silo and then to unload the desired quantity from it: To obtain a dosage of this type, one should enter an unloading activity as first activity of the formula, or a single component formula made up of a single unloading activity, with a target greater than 0 By entering an unloading activity with target equal to 0, one obtains a total unloading (see first unloading method).
-
Page 39: Net/Gross Weight Display At The End Of Unloading Activity
DOSAGE 6.4.4 NET/GROSS weight display at the end of unloading activity It is possible to decide to have at the end of the unloading activity, the visualization of the remaining weight (gross weight on the scale) or the unloaded weight (negative net weight). Normally the remaining gross weight is shown on the display, by setting the WEIGHT DISPLAY ON UNLOADING step on NET ( ) only the unloaded weight will be shown. - Page 40 DOSAGE STOPPING MODE 2) Not stoppable: It’s not possible to stop the timer before the end that has been set. It does not foresee a target weight to be reached: normally the eventual weight added is not stored; it is possible to decide to store the weight added during the timer activity by enabling the ADD TO CONSUMPTION DURING TIMER ( ), and, in this case, the dosage of the eventual material necessary for this activity must be manually stopped.
-
Page 41: Manual Weight" Type Of An Activities
DOSAGE “Manual weight” type of an activities a) Description This activity is useful when one wants to add to the dosage an amount of material having a known fixed weight, which is set when entering the activity in the database, counting it in the consumptions without having to dose it (for example, a bag of dust of 20kg, a tank of additives of 3kg...). -
Page 42: Synchronization" Type Of An Activities
DOSAGE display shows the REMOTE DOSAGE message and the weight window shows the progress bar in percentage for the remote dosage. The operator can remotely control the instrument for executing the dosage; all the dosage requirements should be in accordance with the selected formula in the REMOTE FORMULA INDEX. After the remote dosage is terminated, a wait time starts equal to the DATA READING TIME ( in order to allow the reading of the activity data;... -
Page 43: Formula Execution Modes
DOSAGE ends and it is not possible to end the cycle, once the set time has passed, the error is signalled; the operator must manually fill the stockpile silo. By pressing for an instant the external INPUT 1 or the START button, the cycle starts again in the condition in which it was in before the error took place. -
Page 44: First Free Component
DOSAGE If the total weight of the various loading activities exceeds the maximum dosable weight (MAXIMUM DOSABLE WEIGHT step ), the instrument calculates the number of consecutive repetitions which it must execute in order to reach the set total weight. By examining the previous example, if the maximum dosable weight would have been equal to 800kg, the instrument would execute 2 consecutive repetitions of the following formula: BASIC FORMULA... -
Page 45: Dosage Procedure
DOSAGE The quantity of dosed material for the first component must be within the range proposed by the instrument. If first activity of the formula selects a manual dosage: The "OK" message with the weight range indicates that the weight is within the tolerance range; otherwise "KO"... -
Page 46: Dosage Cycle Starts
DOSAGE Once the first formula is finished, the instrument: - executes the automatic tare - executes the following formula (in Production Program) These operations are repeated for all the formula. At the end, the instrument waits to receive the start of the new dosage, or, in case of various repetitions of the dosage cycle, restarts automatically with the following cycle. -
Page 47: Dosage Cycle Reset
DOSAGE If during the dosage the mains voltage is cut off, when it is restored, the instrument will turn on automatically into PAUSE; press the button to continue with the interrupted dosage. The dosage now restarts from the condition in which it was in, when it turned off. In the PAUSE condition it is possible to access the USER MENU function "Repeat dosage cycles", in which it is possible to change the number of the cycles. -
Page 48: Tolerance Check Mode
DOSAGE 6.14 Tolerance check mode When the weigh is acquired, the instrument can follow three different ways, depending on the parameter set in the tolerance range enabling step << Enabling tolerance test>> TOLERANCE TEST NO TEST PERC WEIGHT 6.14.1 Tolerance expressed as weight During entering the formula, a tolerance can be entered expressed as a weight value, which defines a fixed tolerance range independently from the Target weight: TARGET-TOL.WEIGHT... -

The same setting is possible also in the setup environment. 6.16.2 Setting the production program Through BATCH1 function Manage production which can be combinable with the desired key ( ), one is asked firstly to input the number of formulas, from 1 to 4: press the enter key, input the number and... - Page 51 DOSAGE manual) in a 485 line through REMOTE DOSAGE and SYNCHRONIZATION activities (see the section 13.1.7 and 13.1.8).
