Introduction M2200 in General The M2200 consists of an M2200 indicator with an LCD display and, if used as a scale, of a separate load cell weighing platform. Depending on the platform type, the M2200 scale is available with a dual range weighing capability.
Ethernet network. Initial Inspection Prior to use, inspect the M2200 for damages incurred during shipment. If the scale/terminal has been damaged, contact your local Marel service center immediately. About This Manual This manual is a collection of information on the M2200. Some of this information is aimed directly at the M2200 operator, while other sections are intended for technicians and software programmers.
Warranty Information Warranties given by Marel hf. are revoked if the equipment in question has not been used according to specifications. The same applies if the equipment has been modified in any way without Marel’s consent. User’s Guide Introduction • 5...

Capacity and Resolution: The tables below shows typical values of Max and e when configuring a M2200 indicator. Other values can be used, but a 3000 division weighing range is often the maximum allowed with regard to load cell specifications. The indicator can be configured to operate as a single or dual range scale that changes from a low to a high range with the load on the platform.

Operation Before You Start Before you apply power to the M2200 scale, check the following: • Make sure there are no foreign objects that can interfere with the platform’s movements. • The platform must be empty when you power-on the scale. •...
Function Keys The keypad has numeric keys and two special keys, Check Page Check key Use the Check key to confirm your actions, e.g. your selection of a menu option. Page key Use the Page key to browse through the pages and to exit pages. The Scale page The main weighing page, the Scale page, shows weighing results in the unit of weight selected for the scale (1).
To take a new operational zero point Remove any weight from the platform. Press The Zero indicator ( ) appears on the display. If zero can no longer be set using the key, you can use the option on the Scale Ops page Initial Zero Operation to take a new initial zero.
Creating Products You can create a number of products, also called programs, that contain your own packing parameters. The following example shows how to create a product and specify the necessary parameters for a stand-alone packing scale. Note: M2200 applications use the packing parameters in different ways and some applications do not use them at all.

Overweight Use this mode to pack to a fixed weight. The nominal weight is fixed. The target weight is calculated as: TW = FW + GF Here you must specify upper and lower lock limits. The pack weight will be somewhere in the range between the lower and upper limits.
Any weight Use this mode to pack catch weight (packs of variable weight). There are no restrictions on the nominal weight and there is no target weight. W / (1+P) The nominal weight is calculated as: NW = W / (1+GP/100) Nominal weight Pack weight Parameters that need to be specified:...
Note: In some market areas the scale’s tare function may be protected with a software switch. This changes the way you work with tare: Direct sale to the public • You must remove tare (see above) before you can set a new tare value that is lower than the current tare value.
Preset Tare To use Preset tare Assuming the Scale Ops page has been defined as part of the Top Menu Cycle, press twice from the Scale page until the Scale Ops page is displayed (if not, select Top Level Menu ).
Marine Adjustments The motion compensation of the M2200 M02 marine scale must be adjusted every once in a while to ensure the weighing results are accurate and stable. IMPORTANT! For optimum marine adjustment results, always adjust the scale in the physical environment where it will be used for weighing, i.e.
300 ppm active ingredient. Marel has developed the detergent Frima fip 6 in cooperation with Icelandic cleaning agents manufacturer Frigg hf. Frima fip 6 is an alkaline foaming detergent suitable for use in all branches of the food industry and specially designed to minimize the damaging effect of a harsh wash-down environment on Marel’s equipment.

Chlorine is, however, an effective disinfectant, so occasional use of chlorine may be necessary to control the growth of microorganisms. Marel recommends the following procedure: • Use chlorine to disinfect once a week after performing the regular cleaning with a high alkaline foaming detergent.

Installation In General The M2200 P02-M02 scale is delivered from the factory with certain default settings. Some of these settings can be changed to suit the user’s needs and it may be necessary to specify others before the scale is taken into use, depending on the intended usage.

Adjustments In General Adjusting the M2200 scale requires the use of a so-called Service password. On delivery from the factory the default Service password is: • Service password 62735 Another password, the Weighing configuration password, is needed to access the scale’s weighing configuration options. The Weighing configuration password is fixed: •...
Note: When changing the Service password, make sure you enter the new password correctly. If you make a mistake and enter a different password, you will have to remove the Lock Enable jumper (T8) to activate the default password to enter the Configuration page and choose a new password.
Select an option to work with (e.g. e1 or max1), press use the numeric keypad to enter a new value. Press to return to the previous page. Repeat to set the remaining values.

Adjusting the Scale The M2200 scale is adjusted using a known weight which is normally close to the maximum capacity of the weighing platform. Follow the instructions below to adjust the M2200 scale. For instructions on how to perform regular adjustments on marine scales please refer to the Marine adjustments? Operation section, “Marine Adjustments”...
Place your adjustment load on the platform. For best results, keep the weight on the platform for 20 seconds. With the load on the platform select Adjust span (load on) and press . Press again to confirm. After you see the confirmation message on the display, press to return to the Adjustment page.
Programming In General The M2200-P02 firmware accepts application software written in the Lua programming language. Lua is a powerful light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics.

Appendix Laws and Regulations Most countries have laws and regulations regarding the use of balances and scales in trade. The general rule is that scales used for trade have to be inspected or verified before being put into use. Some sort of periodic re-verification is generally also required.
Some scales may have the marking “Not for direct sale to the public”. This does not imply that the scale is inferior in any way. Instead, the marking indicates that the scale has a more flexible tare device and that it does not have a separate weight display for the customer, which is otherwise a requirement when the customer cannot to see the weight display directly.
Sealing the M2200 after Adjustments When you have completed adjusting the scale or after the configuration parameters in the Protected parameters table on page 42 have been changed, the scale must be sealed again to maintain the official authorization of the scale.
To seal the scale with a wire and plumb seal Open the scale’s top cover. Unlock the adjustment seal. Adjust the scale according to instructions in “Adjusting the Scale” on page 28. Put the adjustment seal back on in a locked position. Modification of the adjustment or configuration settings is no longer possible.
