INTRODUCTION The AGB bench platform scale includes a durable stainless steel base, approvals, and AE403 indicator ideal for general warehouse applications. These scales provide the user with the electronics necessary to build an accurate, fast, versatile weighing system. ...
INSTALLATION LOCATING THE SCALE The scale should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy. Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. Avoid unsuitable tables or surfaces. ...
KEY DESCRIPTIONS Sets the zero point for all subsequent weighing. The display shows zero. [Tare/↵] Tares the scale. Stores the weight currently on the scale as tare value, subtracts the tare value from the gross weight and shows the results. A secondary function, is of “Enter”...
DISPLAYS The LCD display will show a value and a unit to the right of the digits. In addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below or above check- weighing limits. Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET) the scale is at zero and stable, if a value has been stored in memory or when the animal weighing function has been enabled.
TARING Zero the scale by pressing the [0/Esc] key if necessary. The “ZERO” indicator will be ON. 0 Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed. Press the [Tare/↵] key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display.
WEIGHING A SAMPLE To determine the weight of a sample, first tare the empty container if it is to be used and then place the sample in the container. The display will show the net weight of the sample and the units of weight currently in use.
The display will now show a flashing unit which can be increased or decreased using the ⭡ or ⭣ directional keys. Once you have set the desired sample size, press the [Tare/↵] key. From here you will return to the main piece counting display which will show the number of pieces assigned to the weight on the scale.
For checkweighing in parts counting mode, use the directional buttons ⭡ or ⭣, scroll through to the parts counting mode, “Count” will be shown on the display. Press [Tare/↵] to confirm and follow the same process as outlined above. 6.7.1 Relay outputs and checkweighing The relay outputs are open collector drivers to control an external relay.
NOTE: Weight must be more than 20 scale divisions for check weighing to operate. Below 20 scale divisions the LED’s will not light and the beeper will not be on. The Check-weighing function can be set up during Weighing or Parts Counting by entering values as Low or/and High Limits keyed in by the user.
To clear the memory (set the value to zero) press the [Power/ST] key during the time the totals are being displayed, “Clear” will flash on the display for 2-3 seconds and then return to the usual weighing display. PERCENT WEIGHING The scale can be set to perform percent weighing.
6.10 ANIMAL (D ) WEIGHING YNAMIC The scale can be set to animal (dynamic) weighing for weighing any items that are unstable or may move. The scale will use a special filter to minimise the effects of any movement while the moving animal or unstable samples are on the scale.
To weigh a second subject press the [0/Esc] key and the display will show “LOAD” and the function will be ready for a new measurement, if necessary to zero the display, press the [0/Esc] key again, and then place the next animal on the scale The scale will detect the new weight and hold it as before.
be locked for 2 seconds. The display will show the “Hold” symbol while the display is locked. After the 2 seconds delay, the display will now show “UNLOAD”. Remove one of the animal or items, and press [Tare/↵] key to calculate the weight of the removed animal or item.
USER PARAMETERS Pressing the [Func/Set] key and holding for 2 seconds during normal operation allows the user to access the parameters for customising the scale. The parameters are split into 2 groups: Scale parameters (pressing [Func/Set] will access this automatically).
