Page 14: Calibration
CALIBRATION Recommendations After familiarizing with various features and options available with the SAW Scale, please place the scale in the environment where the scale will be mostly used to get the scale acclimatized with its current environment. Take into account that the scale needs to warm up time of 10-15 minutes after boot-up. -
Page 15: Cap Zero (Resetting The Capacity Sensor)
CAP ZERO (Resetting the Capacity Sensor) If the scale is turned on and the weight is not reading zero, or after placing the weight, the weight reading is not correct even after performing a Full calibration, then the Capacity Sensor in the scale needs to be reset. Press MENU button (#5) ---- setup menu screen will appear Scroll to PLATFORM SETUPS and press ENTER. -
Page 16: System Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION Basic Menu Operation The scale operating system uses a menu driven interface that is both intuitive and easy to use. To access the setup menu press the MENU/BACK key. There are two basic menu types. The first is a simple list of items. To select an item in the list, use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to line up on the desired item and then press ENTER. -
Page 17: Tare Settings
Activating Tares To activate a tare from the list, line up on it and the “ACTV” function in the lower menu, then press ENTER. The tare will be made active, the scale switched to NET mode and you will immediately be placed back in the weighing screen you were in when you accessed the setup menu. -

The startup screen and conversion units can be set here. Zero lock can be enabled/disabled. Zero lock disables the front panel ZERO key. When this function is enabled the user must press the ZERO and the PRINT key simultaneously to zero the scale. Show SAW ST Screen at Startup. -
Page 19: Important Selections
Important Selections The two most important selections are: Span Calibration ❑ SAW Correction ❑ Span Calibration Span calibration adjusts the platform’s sensitivity so that the display reads correctly. A calibrated weight is required to perform this and the procedure is outlined above in the SAW Scale Full Calibration section. -
Page 20: Filtering And Accuracy
Select the conversion you wish to modify and press ENTER. Use ACTV to activate/deactivate it, DPNT to change its decimal point location and CNT to change what the least significant displayed digit will count by. In the pounds configuration (the scale’s native conversion unit) you can use OVRL to set the overload limit in pounds. - Page 21 Noise Count – NCNT: This is the noise count of filtering mechanism. This sets the number of weight values that need to be discarded before considering that the new weight value is a new value and not part of the current weight value tracking process. The higher this number, the less accurate the weight value, the faster your performance.
- Page 22 Source – SRC: This sets the primary source of readings that the Stability Control mechanism will use to estimate the best lock-in weight. There are two selections here: A/D Reading - This selection makes the Stability Control mechanism take readings unfiltered and straight from the load cell. ❑...

Page 23: Advanced Setup And Diagnostics
Advanced Setup and Diagnostics SAW Status This screen checks all the sensors in the SAW platform to make sure they are operating within a certain range. If the parameter readings are all within expected range, the sensor status will show “OK”. Otherwise, it will show as “Fail”. SAW Diagnostics Shows the digital raw parameters of all the sensors equipped within the scale. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Your scale has been precisely calibrated at the factory before shipping. It has the capability to adjust its own calibration to a certain degree to compensate for aging electronics, and temperature changes. This being the case, it is possible that you will never have to calibrate the scale. -

Page 27: Introduction To Options
INTRODUCTION TO OPTIONS This section will cover the operation and setup of all of the options available for your scale. It is important to note that some described menu items will be missing if that option was not installed in your specific scale. All of the options listed may be installed in any scale and may run concurrently. -
Page 28: Print Stream Mode
Print Stream Mode Print stream mode will continuously print the currently active print frame at fixed time intervals. Stream mode can be configured using menu SETUP MENU/OPTION SETUPS/RS485/PRINT STREAM. The lower menu selection ENB will enable or disable print stream mode, and TIME will be the number of seconds between the beginnings of each print frame. -
Page 29: Print Stream Mode With Print-At-Stability
Zero Notify – ZERO NTFY: If this option is set to “YES”, then each time the scale is zeroed or a zero command is sent through one of the communication ports, the indicator will wait for the scale to stabilize and detect if there is no motion. Once these conditions are detected, the word “ZERO”... -
Page 30: Print Frame Functions
Print Frame Functions You can add up to 20 functions to Print Frame. The functions are executed in the order they are defined in the list. You can add a CR (carriage return), LF (line feed) or trailing spaces to most functions. This is useful when designing labels. Function List Function Action... -

Page 33: Rs485 Communication
RS485 COMMUNICATION The RS485 communication framework is similar to the RS422 Communication Framework. The RS485 Communication option is a fully capable, bi-directional communications port. The output data frames can be customized to certain data types other than weights from the scale. The printing of a frame can be initiated by pressing the print button, by an external command or continuously when the print stream mode is activated. -
Page 34: Setpoint Controller
SETPOINT CONTROLLER The setpoint controller gives your scale the capability to output a signal to external equipment when certain conditions are met. This is particularly useful in filling operations, either to sound alarms or to control filling machinery. A Setpoint Command Set is a recipe of commands that the scale executes based on the current weight reading. In operation, if the displayed weight satisfies the recipe, the command set directs any of the outputs to switch on or off. -
Page 35: Creating And Editing Formulas
Cycle Mode – CYCLE=On/Off: The cycle option is used to create an operation cycle as described earlier in this section. Negative Reading – NEG=On/Off: The Negative option is used to determine if the scale needs to evaluate negative weight values. If NEG = Off, then the setpoint controller will not evaluate negative weights, as in it will treat both negative and positive weights the same. -
Page 36: Notes On Cycle Mode
> 5.20 <= 5.20 // Now the “over” (yellow) light to be on anytime the weight is above 5.2lb > 5.20 When this formula is executed, the scale evaluates each line in order. This calculation is done in memory only, and the outputs are not affected until the formula is complete. -
