ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Fast start (packing machine version) Batching programming Programming is used for setting values for product ingredients. READY 0.00 Start programming by pressing PROGRAM key. (If READY diode doesn’t light, press CLR key). Program If CODE_P communicate shows up then access code must be inscribed.
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Zero threshold programming During programming default zero threshold value is set automatically READY 0.00 (below the value scale thinks it’s empty and is ready for new batching cycle) The value is usually about 10 divisions. If more weight remains on the scale after cycle then other threshold value must be inserted Program (ProG Zer).
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Bags batching process Batching is executed according to previously programmed settings (recipe) (look Batching programming). In case when READY diode doesn’t light press ENTER. READY 0.00 Press START (if READY diode doesn’t light, press ENTER). Start Prod nr When Nr Prod is displayed, insert program number previously saved in...
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Batching repetition READY 0.00 Successive batching of the same product recipe doesn’t require inscribing again product number or bags number, only press START and then ENTER. Start Prod nr ENTER 0.00 Batching process starts with automatic tare. During batching actual weight on platform is displayed.
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ General information ME-02 meter is designed to cooperate with load cells and batching devices, which are connected to selected meter outputs. Meter has hermetic housing made of stainless steel. You can use parts of this manual to write manual of Your device. Following pages of this manual describe ME-02 meter as a complete scale.
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 5.2 Working mode Using meter user can batch portions that consist one or several ingredients according to recipe (stored in memory). Available automatic batching modes: 1. Batching portion with total weight setting 2. Batching portion with cycles quantity setting 3.
Preparation to work 1. To built a scale based on ME-02 meter contact authorized service or use Mounting guide. 2. Producer gives warranty only if AXIS Sp. z o.o. mounts the complete scale. In other cases warranty is provided by the mounter.

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 reference look at AXIS constructions.
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Meter’s connections description ME-02 meter in stainless steel housing: WE (Input) WY (Output) Tensometr (Weighing sensor) GND connect with additional wire. It is recommended to use additional GND for platform also. Internal bar to connect steering outputs witch batching devices (WY) and to external keys (WE):...
Transoptor outputs are open collector type with load 50mA / 24V. Directly relays or relays board offered by AXIS can be connected to the outputs. AXIS also offers steering box (supply, 3 or 8 relays). We suggest to use dedicated relays boards MS 8K/P (8 relays type RM96P – load 3A/250V) or complete steering box.
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ External keys connection The input of external keys (WE) allows to place (make double) selected scale keys into control box or operator’s workstation. As a standard the input is taken out with a wire for direct connect to a control panel. ME-01 indicators can be equipped with external key interfaces (option on demand).
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Communication interfaces Basic interface that is used for communication with external devices is RS1(RS232C-I), second interface RS2(RS232C-II) requires special scale firmware to work (on demand). 1. Comunication interfaces (standard): RS232C RS485 RxD (reception) TxD (transmission) +5V(option) DE-9 DE-9...
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Usage general rules 1. After switching-on the power, the scale proceeds with self-tests and zeroing the scale. During start-up the scale should not be loaded (does not apply to tank scales, where scales are not zeroed after start-up). 2.
ME-02 USER MANUAL MD004 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Menu navigation rules Program key is reserved for programming products recipe. Start key starts batching. To enter scale’s menu press F key. Menu position selection is made by pressing Enter key when it shows up on display.
