7. As you apply weight to the scale, output one will activate below its setpoint and
deactivate above its setpoint. The same is true for the other two setpoints.
Each output’s annunciator will light on the display when the output value is
reached.
4.4 Batch Weighing
This section applies if your indicator has the batching application active.
The batching application has a recipe with up to eight ingredients. In the recipe, the
following items are set.
Batch type can be by weight, percentage or gross. Each explained below.
Constant Weight Batches are all the same size and the weight of each ingredient is
predetermined by the recipe.
Percentage Batch size is chosen by the operator and each ingredient is
determined by the percentage set in the recipe.
Gross Each ingredient runs until the gross weight on the scale reaches
the value that was set, regardless of the weight on the scale when
the batch was started.
After a batch has been started, it can be aborted by pressing the F1 key.
Batching mode can be Manual, Automatic, Filling, Reverse Filling or Continuous.
Manual If the recipe is set up for manual mode, you press the F1 key to
start the batch and you need to press the F1 key each time a
setpoint is reached to activate the next ingredient output. See
important note below.
Automatic If the recipe is set up for automatic mode, you press the F1 key to
start the batch and each output is activated and deactivated
automatically by the indicator.
When in Manual Mode, you must press the F1 key during ingredient filling to abort the
operation. If you press F1 during a configured delay time, the key press is ignored. An
F1 press after the delay time will start the next ingredient.

4.4 Batch Weighing
Filling In Fill mode, any recipe that has been setup is ignored. The filling
process is run based on the values set for the outputs. In order to
complete the filling process, at least one output must be enabled.
See the following note.
Reverse Fill In reverse filling mode, any recipe that has been setup is ignored.
The reverse filling process is run based on the values set for the
outputs. In order to complete the filling process, at least one output
must be enabled. See the previous note and the following
instructions:
1. Press the F1 key to begin the reverse filling process.
2a. If output one is enabled, and the net weight on the scale is
above the value of the output, output 1 will come on.
2b. If output two is enabled, and the net weight on the scale is
above the value of the output, output 2 will come on.
2c. If output three is enabled, and the net weight on the scale
is above the value of the output, output 3 will come on.
3. Each output will remain on until its output value is met.
4. The reverse filling process can be restarted by pressing
the F1 key.
Continuous Continuous batching mode. This mode is very close to the Auto
mode but, in continuous mode another batch is started
immediately after the previous batch has finished. In auto mode
the user must press the F1 key to start each batch.
The Basis of each ingredient can be weight or time.
Weight If an ingredient basis is weight, the output activates at the
appropriate time and deactivates when the weight set in the recipe
is reached.
Time If an ingredient basis is time, the output activates for the time set
in the recipe and then deactivates.
The batching modes, Filling and Reverse Filling, can be configured to operate in two
ways.
Absolute mode Setpoints activate when the F1 key is pressed. When the net
weight on the scale reaches the configured output value, the setpoint will deactivate.
Relative mode When the F1 key is pressed, the starting weight is captured and
the outputs activate. The output will not deactivate until the net weight on the scale
reaches the starting weight plus the configured output value.
See Batch Weighing on page 18 for information about setting these modes.
