Operating modes
NOTE:
When the display is showing
gross weight, you can press
ZERO to remove small weight
variations from the display at
zero. However, pressing ZERO
does not tare the weight.
SETUP MODE
The Setup Mode lets you access the configuration and calibration param-
eters (as described in Section 3, Configuration). To enable this mode, open
the case and move switch SW1 on the CPU board. See Figure 2-3 in Section
2, Installation, for location of the setup switch.
This 2-position switch is near the middle of the board, at the edge. When
you move it to the setup position, CONFIG appears on the display and
normal weighing functions are disabled.
When a legal-for-trade scale is configured, calibrated, and inspected, the
case is closed with a legal seal. Therefore, only normal and truck in/out
mode functions are available without breaking the seal. However, an
optional remote supervisor switch lets you change the SETPNT configura-
tion menu without breaking the seal. Usually, this is a keyed switch and the
supervisor carries the key to prevent unauthorized access. See Section 2,
Installation, for details on installing a remote supervisor switch.
NORMAL MODE
In the normal mode, the indicator displays gross weight. You can toggle
between gross and net weight displays by pressing G/N. "G" appears on the
display for gross weight. "N" appears for net weight. You can enter tare
weights by two methods:
Push-button tares
When you press TARE, the indicator tares the current weight on the
scale and automatically displays the net weight (initially zero). As you
load the scale, the indicator continues to show net weight. You can
toggle back to the gross weight display at any time by pressing G/N.
"T" appears on the display when a push-button tare weight is in
memory.
Keyed tares
You can use the numeric keys to enter a tare weight. While the indicator
is displaying gross weight, key in a numeric value for the tare weight
and press TARE. The indicator automatically changes to display the net
weight. "TE" appears on the display when a keyed tare weight is in
memory.
When you press PRINT, the indicator sends a "gross-tare-net" ticket to
the printer. If you press PRINT when a tare is not in memory, the gross
weight prints on a single line.
