INDIVIDUAL SCALE SET-UP
The IQ plus 810 offers up to four scale inputs with the flexibility to define
different graduation sizes for all the individual scales. Many of the param-
eters defining the functionality of the channel can be defined individually for
each channel.
Under the CONFIG submenu (in setup), the following parameters are
available to allow independent settings for each scale: GRADS, ZERO
BAND, ZERO RANGE, MOTION BAND, OVERLOAD and DIGITAL
FILTER. In the FORMAT submenu DISPLAY DIVISIONS, DECIMAL
POINT, and UNITS can be defined for each separate channel for both
PRIMARY and SECONDARY units. Under the FORMAT submenu, the
total channel has its own DISPLAY DIVISION, DECIMAL POINT, and
UNITS settings for both primary and secondary units. By setting these
parameters independently, you can configure different graduation sizes for
each channel and the total.
Note: If you intend to use different grad sizes for the individual
channels, the total channel could be meaningless. For example, if scale
#1 counts by 50 lb and scale #2 counts by 1/10 lb, you probably will not
want to view the total. A parameter called TOTALS (under the
submenu SET ANALOG in setup) allows you to disable the total
channel. The selections for TOTAL are shown in the following table.
TOTAL selections
Selection... Description...
OFF
The total channel is disabled and cannot be viewed on the
indicator. This is the only setting available if CHANS=1 or 1
FAST.
ENABLE The total channel is enabled and can be viewed on the indicator.
This is the default if CHANS=1 or 1 FAST.
TONLY
The total channel is the only channel that can be viewed on the
indicator.
The TONLY setting are useful for customers who are only interested in the
sum of several scales, a truck scale for example. The OFF setting is for the
user who does not want to view the TOTAL.
Suppose you want to set up the individual channels with different grad sizes
and the total channel has been enabled. The total channel is calculated by
rounding the individual channels using the total channel grad size and
summing the results. In this instance the total channel will not equal the sum
of the individual channels as they are displayed. The number of grads on the
total channel is equal to the sum of the full capacities of the individual scales
divided by the graduation size on the total channel. See the example on page
5-6.
