OUNTING GUIDE 1. Introduction This manual describes AXIS meters: ME-01/A/LED ME-01/A/LCD ME-01/N/LED ME-01/N/LCD ME-01/N/25 (LED) ME-01/P/LCD ME-01/P/25 with bE0100 (LED version) and bC0199 (LCD version) firmware or later. Detailed description of meters and scales based on the meters way of working can be found in user manual of specific type of meter.

OUNTING GUIDE Sensors check To check if tensometric sensors (load cells) are ok use Calib/Zero option. In zero option scale displays result in internal resolution (results directly from A/D converter). Input voltage range: 0Umax 0 ~160 000 internal division (on chart 160 000 is 100% of A/D range) A/D result range: Default Umax value is 10mV and can be changed to 20, 40 or 80mV.

To make GND connection use sensor’s factory GND connection or one of the wires that extend factory connection or additional wire. Stainless steel housing meters have special external GND clip. The connection should be made with thick wire. As a model look at AXIS constructions. 2.5 Connecting external devices...
OUNTING GUIDE 3. General description of scale’s firmware The firmware consists part for USER (normal weighing, special functions) and for SERVICE (service menu functions). Service menu diagram: (Scale type) bA-... ( -2,-3,-3500,-400,-50,-6,-10,-15, out) BA series scales ModE SCALE BA/Y series scales bAY-...

OUNTING GUIDE In further chapters of the manual, mainly service options are described. User options are described in user manual. Working mode settings and storing parameters can be performed by selection (activation) of proper functions in service menu. The settings are stored in internal memory (EEPROM). The process will be called scale programming (setting).

OUNTING GUIDE 3.2 Scale programming sequence After mechanical and electronic assembly to program the scale follow the sequence below. Information necessary for mechanical and electronic installation is described in chapter 2 and 3 and in DTR manual (delivered with the scale). 1.
OUNTING GUIDE 4. Service menu description Service menu (not available for user) consists options and functions set that decide about scale working mode. Service menu consists of following option catalogs: ModE – options connected with scale working mode On-F – user special functions CALIb –...
OUNTING GUIDE rF – options for radio communication 4.2 Special functions (On_F) ZErO option is used to inscribe starting zero value (primary zero). Using this function is essential when additional construction elements are put on the pan e.g. container. Without inscribing correct value of start load „unLOAd” communicate appears.

OUNTING GUIDE Set-E - entering verification unit (e) in format as above, “current E value” – entering new value using keys as above, Out-E – leave without changes, E.g. for scale with verification unit of 0,2kg enter: 0.2 Set-d - select scale result rounding: 0(1), 2, 5,10 or 20, E.g.
OUNTING GUIDE - enter CAL-Pt and perform calibration with available quantity of calibratin standards of mass, - observe scale indication and replace standard of mass with product (ballast) with the same weight, again put on standards of mass. Having now bigger weight on scale use CAL-Pt function, etc. until You obtain weight equal to scale’s Max.
OUNTING GUIDE Turn on and off the scale using I/ key, press and hold MENU, During C-2 display, after the sound signal release MENU key, choose options catalog CALIb and COMPt option, wait until the scale is stable and program version disappears.

OUNTING GUIDE 6. Special functions All scales, beside basic metrological functions like weighing and taring, are equipped with set of special functions. Basic set includes the following special functions: - activation of functions in menu (ACtIV), - autozeroing (AutotAr), - pieces counting (PCS), - change of mass unit (UnIt), - percent calculations (PErCEnt), - preparing recipes (rECIPE),...
The load cell is mounted to the scale base with two or four screws. The screw placed in the scale base in the pan clamp axis under the load cell is a main limiter protecting against overloading.
OUNTING GUIDE 7.2 Limiters adjusting View from down: View from side: Corner limiter 2 Central limiter 1 When the load cell is correctly mounted, adjust the overload limiter to the proper height. In scales with one central limiter only, the limiter is placed below the load cell. Place the max load on the pan and adjust the limiter so that there is 0.5mm space between the limiter and the load cell.
OUNTING GUIDE 7.3 Disassembly and assembly of scale housing In order to dissasembly meter housing unscrew 4 hex tap bolts 1 visible from meter bottom. After opening the housing set up it like on the picture below in order to ease further manipulations during electronics repairment. During mounting pay attention on proper setting the seal 3, in case of damaging –...
