Target setting methods

There are two ways to set the target weight:
SAMPLE The TARGET range will be the actual weight of the sample ± a predefined
range (default is ±1 division) that can be set in the SUPER menu described
below
LIMIT The ACCEPT range will be the weight between the LO and HI limit entries

SAMPLE method (sample item on scale)

1. With the scale at Zero, place a sample item on the scale and press F1
The TARGET range will be the weight of the sample minus the UNDRDIV and plus the
OVERDIV values established in the SUPER > CHECK menu

LIMIT method (no weight on scale)

1. When the scale is at 0 (below Gross Zero Band), press F1 > BUSY > LO is displayed
2. Use numeric entry method to enter the LO ACCEPT weight
3. Press ZERO > BUSY > HI is displayed
4. Use numeric entry method to enter in HI ACCEPT weight
5. Press ZERO > display returns to weighing mode
The ACCEPT range will be any weight between the LO and HI values

Checkweigh Setpoint operation

1. After the Target or Accept range has been defined place a sample on the scale
2. Bar Graph operation
a. Sample is below Accept or Target range > Under bar graph segments will light
b. Sample is inside Accept or Target range > Accept bar graph segment will light
c. Sample is above Accept or Target range > Over bar graph segments will light

d. The Under and Over segments are fixed at 1 division per segment
3. Setpoint Annunciators and Outputs
a. Inside the Gross Zero Band > All annunciators and outputs are off
b. Sample is below Accept or Target range > SP1 annunciator and Output 1 are on
c. Sample is inside Accept or Target range > SP2 annunciator and Output 2 are on
d. Sample is above Accept or Target range > SP3 annunciator and Output 3 are on
The Setpoint annunciators and outputs are LATCHED. This means that the sample
weight has to stabilize before the annunciator and output for the appropriate condition
(Under,
Accept or Over) are activated.

Once activated the annunciator and output will remain unchanged until the item is
removed and the gross weight returns to inside the gross zero band.

Additional Notes:
• Checkweighing is based on Net weight values. Tare can be used
• Out1, Out2, Out3 Setpoint entry values are NOT used in Checkweigh application
