1. GETTING STARTED

The scale consist of weighing platform and TMC terminal. Another

solution is the possibility of connecting two platforms.

General information
− The intended use is to weigh goods with the possibility of tarring within
the full measuring range.

− Cooperation with a piece of software KTP NET 2003 allows to build a

net of scales. Program collects weighings from all scales in real time,

− You can start the procedure of control from the level of computer and
from the level of terminal.

PC software allows:

− Colecting weighings in the database,

− Colecting codes that characterise different data:
• Assortment code
• Operator code – (controling person)
• Batch quantity
• Batch number
• Start/Stop of control
− Defining codes of goods together with their individual description is
realized in the PC program KTP NET 2003.

Remarks concerning the save usage of scales

1. In case of weighing goods gathering electrostatic charge, connect the

weighing platform with the terminal housing via a conducting wire,

2. Power cords should be connected to a socket with zeroing / earthing.

3. Devices can fail while supplying from mains caring interference from
other devices.

4. Scales should be kept far away from devices emitting strong

electromagnetic waves because it can cause malfunction.

3. CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES

All external devices should be connected to the terminal before powering
up. Connectors for additional devices are situated in the back side of the
terminal.

In case of connecting a barcode scanner it should have defined a prefix

and a suffix for the frame:
− prefix 01 (Hex)
− sufix 0D (Hex)
Other frames are not accepted by terminal software.

4. POWERING UP
Connect all weighing platforms and all other devices to the terminal and
push the start button.

Wait for complation of the test. The display will indicate zero.

If there is no communication the following screen appears.

-8-
After establishing communication following information appears on the
display:
- Operator
- Product to control
- Describing data
- Menu

Using F1, F2, F3, F4 set the following items:

- product name to be controlled

Enter a product code that consists of maximum 6 digits and confirm it
by pressing ENTER or press ESC to skip the new code.
Notice:
If you put an inappropriate code you will see appropriate information

5. WEIGHING
Put a load on the scale pan. The result is ready to read after reaching
equilibrium (signalling diode marked by ).
After reading the result unload the pan. The indication returns to zero. For
two range scales switching between ranges appears automatically while
loading. The scale returns automatically to the first range accuracy after
returning to zero (autozero zone).
Weighing in the second range is signalled by a diode marked – >|2|<. If
after unloading the pan the indication is not zero press →0← key.

5.1. Tarring

For measuring the net mass of a load put a package/container on the pan
and press TARE (the display shows zero the signalling diode T is lit).

The maximal tare value can be equal to the maximal range.

A tare value is saved in non-volatile memory so it can be

remembered after powering down.

5.2. Zeroing

The zeroing range is within 4% of the maximal range around zero. If any
trial of zeroing is performed beyond the zeroing range –Err 2- appears on
the display.

Zeroing is meant as setting a new zero value for measurements,

but it is cancelled after powering down. It can be performed only in
equilibrium state.

6. GETTING STARTED
In order to adjust the scale for a specific conditions set filters to eliminate
vibrations, possible shocks.

There are to parameters for adjusting filtering:

− FILTER
It can be set as:
ƒ Very fast
ƒ Fast
ƒ Average
ƒ Slow

MEDIAN FILTER
This filter is intended to suppress single mechanical shocks. The higher
value of the filter the longer period of stabilisation.

You can enter parameters only when there is no communication:

− The PC software KTP NET is not running,
− Communication computer – terminal has been disabled another
way

Procedure:
− Press Info key
− You will see the menu of parameters:
Device Parameters

Esc to leave a function or to reach the higher level of the menu.

6.1. Device parameters – filter

Setting parameters:
− Set the cursor using arrows next to Filtr.
− Press Enter.

that the value can be changed. Use arrow keys to change the
value.
− Chose one of the following settings:
1 – very fast
2 – fast
3 – average
4 – slow
− Press Enter to confirm changes.
− Press Esc to leave parameters.

9. PERFORMING CONTROL

9.1. Basic conditions

Before starting control you must inscribe 4 codes. This way you can
identify:
− Product name
− Operator name
− Batch quantity
− Batch number or density

LED display should indicate zero, otherwise press →0←. Press F1 and
enter an assortment code. Then enter the rest of codes.

F1 – article name
F2 – operator name
F3 – batch quantity
F4 – batch number

− Then press F5 to start control

− Press ENTER– you will see descriptions:

According to some settings on the PC level following types of control can

be performed:
− With average tare
− full / empty (destructive)
− empty / full
− full / empty

- 20 -
9.2. Control with average tare

− put a load on the pan,

− after stabilising , press Enter
− put subsequent goods from the batch and do the measurements as
above,
− information next to the field PUT counts measurements e.g.: 1/80;
2/80, 3/80 . . . 79/80; 80/80
− after all measurements you can see the summarised results:

9.3. Control with different tare values (empty/ full)

For this option the sequence of weighing is empty packages then the
products with the packages. The number of sequence of empty packages
(charge) can be set on the level of computer connected with a product.

- 21 -
9.4. Control with different tare values (full/empty)

For this option you can weight gross value of goods and then empty
packages.

9.5. Tare checking module

This module can check the tare value and save it to the database on the
computer level. This can be possible only when the appropriate option is
set on the computer level.

Procedure:
− complete or terminate the control
− press Spec.
− communication window will be displayed
− Press Enter (start of procedure)
or Esc (leaving module)

- 22 -
 − Put subsequent packages on the scale,
− After stabilising press Enter,
− If the average tare is acceptable (standard deviation criterion) you
will see an appropriate message

− If the average tare is not acceptable (standard deviation criterion)

you will see an appropriate message

9.6. Searching operators or goods

Before starting control operator must enter his/her own code and a
code describing a product. It can be done by:
− Inscribing,
− Finding in the database KTP NET.
