JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION1 INTRODUCTION The JC series offers a range of an accurate, fast and versatile counting scales that can use one additional external platform (Remote scale) for weighing or counting of heavier items. These counting scales have the ability to store detailed information on the products that are used often (PLU).

3.2 SETTING UP THE SCALES 3.2.1 SETTING UP THE LOCAL SCALE • The JC Series comes with a stainless steel platform packed separately. • Place the platform in the locating holes on the top cover. • Do not press with excessive force as this could damage the load cell inside.
3.2.2 SETTING UP THE REMOTE SCALE • The JC Series can be connected to any size of load cell type weighing base via the Remote scale port on the left side of the scale case. Ensure you have the correct base for the scale as each is matched for calibration.

JC series dual counting scale user’s guide capacity then the span output at full scale will be only 2.5mV. In this situation the resolution should be reduced to give a good number of ADC counts per displayed division, for example, set to 1:5000 or 1000kg x 0.2kg.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION4 KEY DESCRIPTIONS 0-9, • These keys are used to manually enter a value for tare weights, unit weight and sample size. A secondary function is to enter alpha-numeric characters for PLU descriptions etc.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION5 DISPLAYS The scales have three display windows- Weight, Unit Weight and Count. 5.1 WEIGHT WINDOW This consists of a 6 digit display to indicate the weight on the scale. An arrow above the symbols will indicate the following: Low battery, Net Weight Display, "Net"...
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION6 OPERATION • The basic weighing functions are same for both the scales- local and remote. However the number of weighing divisions may be less on the remote scale dependant on the total capacity of the load cell/s used.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide 6.1.2 TARING Select the local or remote scale as applicable by pressing the Local/Rem key. Preset tare values can be used with both the local and remote scale. If a new tare value is to be used, there are two methods for entering a tare value. The first method uses the weight on the platform and the second uses a value to be entered by the user.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide 6.2 MEMORY FUNCTIONS The M+ key will add the results of a weighing into memory, regardless of whether the local or remote scale is being used for the weighing. 6.2.1 Manual accumulation • The values (weight and count) shown on the display can be added to the values in the accumulator by pressing the M+ key.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide 6.3.1 Weighing a sample to determine the Unit Weight To determine the average weight of the items to be counted place a known quantity of the items on the scale and then enter the quantity being weighed.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide 6.3.4 Count pre-set or check-weighing Check-weighing (or Count Pre-setting) is a procedure to cause an alarm to sound when the net weight (or the number of items) on the scale meets or exceeds a number stored in memory.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide 6.4.1 STORING PLU’S MANUALLY ACTIONS DISPLAYS REMARKS Weight Unit weight Count “ 0“ “ 0“ Press Zero if required. “00000” The scale is zeroed. Note: Enter or determine the Tare Weight when a container is to be used (see section 6.2 of this User Manual).
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide Tare value will only be stored with PLU data if the scale is in the NET mode. If the container is less then the manual zero range which is set in "Technical parameters"...

JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION8 BATTERY OPERATION • The scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life is approximately 70 hours if only the basic unit is used. If a second platform is used the battery life will be reduced.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION9 RS-232 OUTPUT Specifications: RS-232 output of weighing, data default settings ASCII code 4800 Baud (600-9600 selectable) 8 data bits (8 data bits no parity, 7 data bits even and odd parity selectable)
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION10 CALIBRATION ACTION DISPLAYS “ Pi n” Press the Zero key during the self-test at power on. The scale will ask to enter the password. “ Pi n” “ ----” Default Password is 9999.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION11 ERROR CODES During the initial power-on testing or during the operation, the scale may show an error message. The meaning of the error messages are described below. If an error message is shown, repeat the procedure that caused the message, such as turning the balance on, calibration or any other functions.
JC series dual counting scale user’s guide SECTION12 TECHNICAL PARAMETERS The technical parameters accessed via the “tEch” prompt at the end of user parameters and are password controlled to prevent unauthorised access. These parameters set the metrology for the scales. Each scale is set independently.
