DS440IS 6.3.1 Weighing data reprint Access the Reprint item of the user menu to obtain the last printout again without having to change the consecutive number and any totals calculated. The word Copy will appear on the reprint to distinguish it from the original. 6.3.2 Automatic print-out If enabled, allows automatic printing once the stable weight has been obtained.
DS440IS Operating modes The terminal operating mode is set during installation. On switching on the terminal, the selected operating mode is displayed. Standard operation In standard operating mode, the terminal can acquire the gross (or net) weight on the scale and display it along with the weighing symbols.
DS440IS Unloading extraction operation This operating mode is identical to the previous mode except that in this case you start with a loaded scale and gradually remove material. Enter the Set Point 01 and Set Point 02 values (par. 6.2.6 on page 1-62). On pressing the key in correspondence with the indication START, the extracted weight value is zero-set and scale unloading is enabled.
Page 76
DS440IS If zero (0%) is entered, the terminal will NOT make any fall correction. Even if they can be totalized, the cycles interrupted with "stop" are NEVER subjected to any fall correction. Fall correction example. Requested quantity = 23.5kg Fall = 3.5kg fall correction % = 10% Final quantity extracted = 26.7kg Difference between extracted and requested quantities = Error = 26.7 - 23.5 = 3.2kg Correction value = Error * correction % / 100 = 3.2*10/100 = +0.32kg New Fall value = old fall value + (correction value) = 3.5 + (+0.32) = 3.82kg...
DS440IS 6.8.2 Extraction totals Each extraction cycle that terminates correctly in all phases (i.e. extraction and possible printout), or with negligible problems (i.e. an extraction terminated with stop but with a cycle defined as being able to be totalized and/or a cycle printout terminated with a printer fault but with a cycle defined as being able to be totalized), leads to an increase in the progressive number and the forms of totalizing enabled (general total, partial total, total by product code, total by generic code), as well as the specific extraction total.
DS440IS 6.8.3 START key The "START" key is located at the bottom right-hand side of the display and pressure on it is interpreted by the terminal as a request to start an extraction cycle. The terminal checks to make sure that a different "requested quantity" value from zero has been entered, that the weight on the scale is valid (no error in the weight converter and scale not overloaded) and that it is within the "initial range"...
DS440IS 6.8.4 Data displayed with extraction activated The following information is displayed in this page: the gross weight measured by the scale (preceded by the word "Weight") and its metrological indications (stable weight, center zero, minimum weight indications, etc.); ...
DS440IS 6.8.5 Operating principle of extraction The terminal deactivates the output contact called "slow" when the extracted quantity reaches the value given by the (requested - slow - fall) difference. The terminal deactivates the output contact called "requested" when the extracted quantity reaches the value given by the (requested - fall) difference.
DS440IS 6.8.6 Numeric example of an extraction cycle Supposing that the following data have been entered: Requested quantity = 23.5kg Slow = 4.2kg Fall = 1.5kg Fall correction %= 10% If the conditions are correct, the "requested" and "slow" outputs will be activated on start. The terminal deactivates the "slow"...
DS440IS 6.8.7 Error messages Request not valid. This appears when the user requests an extraction cycle to be started and the value entered as requested quantity is not higher than zero. The cycle request is annulled. Initial range error. This appears when the user requests an extraction cycle to be started and the value entered as "maximum initial weight"...
DS440IS 6.10 Double weighing mode DOUBLE WEIGHING options are most commonly used for weighing means of transport, which are weighed prior to loading (entry weighing) and then again after loading (exit weighing) to determine the quantity of goods that are being transported. Double weighing options can be done with: ...
DS440IS 6.11 Entry/Exit Functions with Data Recall This type of procedure is enabled during the installation phase. The two weighing phases for entry and exit do not necessarily have to be consecutive. The difference between the entry and exit weights can be calculated at the time of the second weighing. 6.11.1 Entry weighing procedures For each entry print-out, the terminal allocates and prints out a code (the RCD code).
Page 85
DS440IS The data printed out are: date time progressive number a product code with details a client code with its details plate RCD code first weight The data relating to the first weighing operation are held in the memory until the second weight is printed out.
DS440IS 6.11.2 Exit weighing procedures The terminal is able to print out the second weight only after the operator has recalled the RCD code of the first weight. Proceed in the following way: Press key RCD . The last RCD code used is displayed along with the associated data. ...
DS440IS Printing will take place only if: the weight stabilises within 10 seconds; the weight is not negative or over the maximum weight capacity. The data printed out depend on the printer connected or the configuration chosen for the first weighing.
DS440IS 6.12 Entry/Exit operations using Licence Plate Data Recall The RCD Plate code is made up of as maximum of 10 alphanumerical characters which the operator enters manually and which must be set before each entry weighing operation. Refer to par. 6.11.1 on page 1-83 and par. 6.11.2 on page 1-85 for the entry/exit procedure. In this case, the reference key is not RCD but PLATE.
DS440IS 6.13 Preset weight options The preset weight options are used when the first weight (or tare) of a vehicle is known and therefore does not need to be weighed. The preset weights are associated with a code that can be used to recall them. Besides the preset weight, each code can also store auxiliary information such as the product code or the client code.
DS440IS 6.13.2 Weighing procedures with preset weights Once the vehicle is on the weighing scales, press the RPD (or PPLATE) key and enter the desired code to recall the first weight preset by the list. The weight on the scales, the preset weight code and the preset weight will appear on the display. Press for a print-out of the weight.
DS440IS 6.15 Total management Besides the totals already described in the user manual in par. 6.2.16 on page 1-69, the following generic totals can be made in the double weighing mode Totals for Client Code Totals for Plate Code The net weights and number of weighing operations associated with a given client code or a given plate code are memorised.
DS440IS OPTIONS MPP memory expansion boards Terminals provided with the MPP option (permanent weight memory) can memorise the weight data of each individual weighing operation in a permanent memory and transmit the value to an external peripheral along with an identifying code ascribed by the terminal itself. It is possible to check whether the data item is correct by entering the identification code in the weighing terminal.
DS440IS 7.1.3 Disabling MPP It may sometimes occur that you do not wish to transfer the weight data or save it in the MPP memory. In this case, to disable MPP, type: ...>MENU> MPP operation>De-activated To subsequently re-enable MPP operation: ...>MENU>MPP operation>with memory WARNING Disabling MPP may compromise the operation of equipment connected to the weighing system in...
