CHAPTER 3: OPERATION 3 .1 DISPLAY The Model TC-200 scale utilizes a 16 digit VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) to display the weight and system information. 3.1.1 VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY (VFD) Figure 3-1 shows the display detail of the VFD. Table 3-1 lists the various annunciators you may see and their meanings. -

CHAPTER 4: ADVANCED FEATURES AND OPERATION AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT ENTRY If you already know the Average Piece Weight or APW of the items you wish to count, then use the following procedure. 4.1.1 APW ENTRY FROM SCALE 1. Using the numeric and decimal point keys, key-in the actual Average Piece Weigh value. -
Page 13: Using The Target Value
USING THE TARGET VALUE This function works in conjunction with the piece counting feature and allows your scale to act as a checkweigher. This is useful if you are filling a container with a pre-determined amount of items. To use, you must enter a target value. For example, if you wish to fill a bottle with 100 items you would set your target value to 100. -
Page 14: Chapter 5: Configuration
CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW The scale contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu configures the factory settings for your scale. The User (“A”) menu configures the COM1 serial communication port and enables some user options. The Setup and User menus consist of several menu selections, each with its own sub-menu of choices. -

Page 19: Chapter 6: Calibration
CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW Your TC-200 scale ships from the factory fully calibrated. There is no need to calibrate the scale unless you feel that it has become inaccurate. It is a good idea to check the calibration of your scale from time to time with a precision test weight. Transcell recommends that you perform a new calibration on your digital scale at least once a year. -

Page 25: Appendix C: Error Messages
APPENDIX C: ERROR MESSAGES ERROR MESSAGES If the scale encounters an error condition, it will display a message alerting the operator. A description of each display follows: C.1.1 OPERATOR ERRORS Explanation Message Indicates that the weighing capacity of the selected scale has been exceeded. Err 9 Span calibration value has been lost. -
Page 26: Calibration Errors
C.1.2 CALIBRATION ERRORS Message Explanation Err 0 Indicates that the test weight value you have chosen exceeds the scale’s capacity. Err 1 Indicates that the test weight value you have chosen is less than 1% of the scale’s capacity. Err 2 Occurs when you do not place the test weight on the scale during calibration. - Page 27 Seller or its duly authorized repair agents.
