Page 5: Your New Scale
1 YOUR NEW SCALE Congratulations on your purchase of an Arlyn Digital Scale. This Scale offers a combination of versatility, accuracy and simplicity in an easy to use and easy to maintain package. Advanced menu driven operating software, large memory capacity and an easy to use menu structure allows the scale to be configured for almost any application. -
Page 6: Initial Set-Up And Operation
2. Best operating temperature is about 68 degrees F. 3. The weighing area should be kept clean and dry. 4. The surface that the scale is resting on should be of solid construction and not prone to vibrations. 5. Don’t install the scale near heater or air conditioner vents. 6. -

Page 9: Tare Definitions
The TARE key can also allow you to quickly specify a weight that you want to tare out without going through the Tare Definitions process. To set this function, please look at the Tare Button Function below. Tares can also be taken, named, activated and stored permanently through the setup menu. Go to menu SETUP MENU/TARES. A list of options is displayed on the screen: Tare Definitions Create a record of predefined tares that can for pre-existing weights of containers. -

3.2.2.2 Analog Enabled (For Analog Output “4-20ma” equipped scales only) By default, if the user tares a weight from the platform (and the screen shows zero weight), the analog output will continue to detect the gross weight even if the screen shows zero, and therefore continues to produce the analog equivalent of the gross weight. Selecting this option to “Yes”... -

Page 13: Span Calibration
4.1.3 Span Calibration Span calibration adjusts the platform’s sensitivity so that the display reads correctly. A calibrated weight is required to perform this and the procedure is outlined below in the “Span Calibration” section. 4.1.4 Resolution-Overload This setting should not be touched unless instructed by a Service Technician. Each platform has the capability of displaying its reading in any of eight standard conversion units. -

Tracking. After studying the scale’s behavior on this aspect, we can plug this 0.2lb range in this Window field. Now you will notice that your scale will zero out any deviations that falls within ±0.2lbs. Noise Count – NCNT: This is the noise count of filtering mechanism. This sets the number of weight values that need to be discarded before considering that the new weight value is a new value and not part of the current weight value tracking process. -

Active – ACTV: Activates or deactivates Stability Control. Source – SRC: This sets the primary source of readings that the Stability Control mechanism will use to estimate the best lock-in weight. There are two selections here: A/D Reading - This selection makes the Stability Control mechanism take readings unfiltered and straight from the load cell. ❑... -
Page 16: Multi-Platform Settings (For Multiple Platform Configurations Only)
4.1.10 Multi-Platform Settings (for Multiple Platform Configurations Only) This screen allows you to configure the scale to calculate the “Sum” or the “Difference” between the weights of two connected platforms. You can also configure the scale to automatically scroll through all platforms at specific intervals. This means that after a certain periodic interval, the scale will show the individual weight on each platform alternatively. -

5.1 Scale reads zero and will not move. Make sure that any and all shipping screws are removed from the platform. ❑ ❑ On platform scales, check that all four level legs are contacting solidly against the floor. If level legs are screwed in all the way then the stud from the level leg may be contacting the underside of the platform not ❑... -

8.5 Print Stream Mode Print stream mode will continuously print the currently active print frame at fixed time intervals. Stream mode can be configured using menu SETUP MENU/OPTION SETUPS/RS232/PRINT STREAM. The lower menu selection ENB will enable or disable print stream mode, and TIME will be the number of seconds between the beginning of each print frame. -

this can be shut off to work with a 3-wire system. If not, you can wire the connector to “trick” the computer etc. to work properly. This involves shorting the RS232 RTS and CTS line together and shorting the DTR and DSR lines together. For 25-pin connectors short pins 4 and 5 for RTS/CTS and pins 6 and 20 for DTR/DSR. -
Page 30: Time And Date
9 TIME AND DATE When your scale is equipped with the time and date option you can get time and date and day of week readouts on the screen or use them in RS232/USB/Ethernet output frames. The time can be printed in either 12 or 24-hour format. Consult the section on Print Frame Functions for details. -

Page 36: Multiple Platform Operation
13 MULTIPLE PLATFORM OPERATION Your scale has the capability of displaying weights from up to three (3) platforms. There are only a few basic operational differences between a single platform configuration and a multiplatform configuration. Please see the figure below: 1. -
Page 37: Battery Pack Operation
8. If the multiple platform scale has options attached to it, such as RS232, USB, Analog Output, Setpoints, etc. make sure to read the special notes for that section, if any, that might apply specifically for multiple platform operation. 14 BATTERY PACK OPERATION The Battery Pack Option will allow the scale to be operated in areas where no power is available. -
Page 38: Note
8. Press the “On/Off” key again & your scale will be operational. 9. Only shut off toggle switch if you are not going to use the scale for a long period of time. 10. If the toggle switch is not on the “On” position the scale will not charge. 14.5.1 Note The scale will automatically shut off if the scale is not being used in 15 min (by default). -
Page 39: Adding A Reading To The Collection
To configure the memory, enter the new size through the setup screen. Size is the number of readings (maximum) that you would like to be able to store. This number will automatically be rounded up to the next multiplier of 8 (8 readings per slot). The memory is then set aside for data collection, and becomes invisible to the rest of the system. -

3. If you require an out-of-the-box datalogging software, you can take a look at commercial products such as WinWedge: http://www.taltech.com/products/winwedge.html. This software can pull data from many types of ports including Ethernet and you can do a lot more with your export data. For further help on integrating the Ethernet equipped scale to your framework, please refer to the documentation that came with the scale shipping package and the included CD. -
