PPC-300WP Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Selectable Functions The PPC-300 family of scales offer three selectable functions to assist you with your weighing needs. These functions are packing, checkweighing and grading. Each of these functions are programmable by the operator to give you the flexibility to adapt the PPC-300 to your processes. User setup param- eter 01 controls which, if any, of these functions is enabled.

Automatic tare is enabled, and the scale is set to flash when a weight within the acceptable weight range is loaded.
PPC-300WP Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Checkweighing Function The checkweighing function uses a lower limit and upper limit to establish an acceptable weight range for portioning, quality control and filling while displaying the weight loaded on the platform. The bar chart gives a graphical representation of the status of the loaded weight in relationship to the upper and lower limits for quick reference.
