IPE50P 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this manual is to help the user get to know the weight indicator’s various functioning modes, the keys’ functions and the display indications We advise to carefully follow the instructions for programming the weight indicator; by taking actions not indicated this manual, one could cause the scale to not work properly.

IPE50P 6 BASIC FUNCTIONS Nota : if the IPE50P has never calibrated, the message “Err 39” will be displayed (see page 50) Sometime it will be necessary to go to differents menus to modify some prameters. To enter into these menus , turn on the unit, L. 1.06 and after 05.01 are displayed, press the ->0<- key when 05.01 is displayed, after 09.01, DGT9 and the version of the software are displayed, press ->T<- key during the countdown the display shows the first parameter “TyPE”.

IPE50P With the UNLOCKED tare: In case of SEMIAUTOMATIC TARE the net weight, before unloading the scale, may also be 0. In case of MANUAL TARE or FROM DATABASE the net weight before unloading the scale must be of at least 2 stable divisions. To set the type of tare: - Select menu F.Mode.
Page 10
IPE50P 6.5 DATE/TIME ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL) The indicator can be fitted with the date/time option; in this case, the “CLoCK” message is shown when instrument is turned on. To set the date/time follow the procedure below: Select menu F.Mode. Press ENTER to enter the menu. Press ->0<- many times (to scroll forwards through the parameters) or ->T<- (to scroll backwards) to find the “CLoCK”...

IPE50P 6.8 REENABLING THE PRINTOUTS AND THE INDICATOR FUNCTIONS While using the indicator, it is possible to incur into the “no.0.unS” error shown on the display along with an acoustic signal; this means that the printing or the function which one wants to carry out must be reenabled (in order to avoid unwanted executions).
Page 12
IPE50P 7 SELECTABLE OPERATING MODES In addition to the STANDARD weighing mode with TARE deduction and transmission of data, the indicator can carry out one of the following functions: kg/lb CONVERSION, NET/GROSS SWITCH, SET POINT ON THE GROSS WEIGHT, SET POINT ON THE NET WEIGHT, IN/OUT, ALIBI, DISPLAY WITH SENSITIVITY X 10, HOLD THE DISPLAY, PEAK, HORIZONTAL TOTALIZER, VERTICAL TOTALIZER, and PIECE COUNTING.
Page 13
IPE50P 7.1 kg/lb CONVERSION (Std) By pressing "MODE" key the value is converted from kg to lb and vice versa. NOTES: - with APPROVED instrument in single range the weight in pounds is displayed for 5 seconds, after which the display goes to kilograms.

IPE50P MAx.tot: NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE TOTALISATIONS AFTER WHICH THE TOTAL IS AUTOMATICALLY PRINTED AND RESET After having carried out the set weighs, the accumulated general total is printed and reset; set a value between 00 and 63. NOTE: the value 00 disables the function TOTALISATION OPERATIONS In order to carry out the totalisation it is necessary to press the MODE key (if the automatic totalisation has not been set): the weight is accumulated in two total levels (a partial total and a general total).
Page 16
IPE50P 7.8 VERTICAL TOTALIZER (Sum by recipe -> tot S) Like the horizontal totaliser but with each pressing of MODE (or automatcly depend of parameter rEACT) the indicated weight is totalised and automatically tared; in this way it is possible for example to fill a container with various products and to know the total weight of the container (on the display or/and on a printer) and the total weight of all the containers weighted (on the display or/and on a printer) .

IPE50P the quantity extracted. 5) Continue the counting in extraction. “Er.Mot” ERROR DUE TO WEIGHT INSTABILITY DURING THE SAMPLING It may happen that during the sampling phase the weight is unstable and therefore it is not possible to correctly calculate the APW. The “Er.Mot” is shown remaining for about three seconds. One should therefore repeat the sampling operation.

IPE50P MODE WITH HYSTERESIS One enters two SET POINTS for each relay: a DISABLING one, which, when the gross weight is lower than it, it disables the concerned relay; and an ENABLING one, which, when the gross weight is equal or greater than it, it enables the concerned relay.

IPE50P Quick adjustment of the zero If the tare of the system has changed, you could anly memorize a "new zero". Select the step "0.CAL" in the menu SETup -> ConFiG -> 0.CAL (see paragraph 13 adjustment ). When 0.CAL is displayed, press ENTER, "CAL.0" is displayed. The system is at zero (without load).

IPE50P 13.1 ANALOG OUTPUT This IPE50P has an analog output (0/10V or/and 4/20mA) which is automatically calibrated for the higher value (10V or 20mA) of the max capacity selected in rAnGE 1.These outputs correspond to the displayed value. You must adjust this output through the step AoMAX and AoZEr (see step after) It works only on a positive display if the step SiGn = PoSit (if the display is negative, the output will be the minimum value set at Ao ZEr step), It works only on a negative display if the step SiGn = nEGAt (if the display is positive, the output will be the minimum value set Ao ZEr step).
