weighing of several ingredients in
one container with a possibility to
control aggregated sum of all
weighed components.
Function options:
- F..-0 – leave the function to read
aggregated weight,
- F..-1 – start recipe formulation
- F..-2 – return to formulation.
Before weighing each of successive

stabilisation.
Press MENU ey and choose F..-SrE
function with → T ← ey.
The following options appear:
- F..-0 - exit,

6. Percentage weighing (F..-Pro)
This function enables to display
weighing result as a percentage of
a reference sample.
A measurement is performed in two
phases:
- first phase – weighing a reference
sample,
- second phase – measuring specific
sample as a percentage of
the reference sample.
Weighing result is displayed in
different format, depending on the
reference sample weight value. For
values of 0÷3,5% of weighing range
the format is “100.0”, for values
3,5÷35% it is “100.00” and 35÷100%
- “100.00”
The function has the following
options:
- F-0 – disables the function,
- F-1– stores current indication as
100% and activates percentage
weighing,
- F-2 – activates percentage weighing
with the previous reference sample
value.
„%” sign is replaced with „
_
_
”
indicator.
Note:
1. Err-3 communicate signalises that
100% alue is smaller then 0.5*Min
or not entered (see F-1).
2. When the function is acti ated
→ T ← key function does not change.

7. Anima weighing (LOC)
This function allows precise animals weighing.
Press MENU ey. When LOC function
is displayed press
→ T ← ey.
Function options:
- F..-0 – leave the function,
- F..-1 – automatic weighing after
loading the balance,
- F..-2 – the measurement initiated
manually with ey.
For automatic weighing press
→ T ←
ey when F..-1 is displayed.
Tare the balance when necessary and
place the animal on the pan.
Wait until the weighing result is
averaged (the indication blin s). Final
result is displayed on the display and
send via serial port to computer or
printer.
Remove the animal from the pan – the
result is displayed for 30s and then the
balance starts the new measurement.
Important notes:
1.The load less than Min is not a eraged.
2.In case placing the animal takes more than 5s, it is ad ised to use F..-2 option
(manual weighing with key).

8. Maximum va ue (UP)
This function enables to display the maximum value from the series of weighing.
Ma e sure the balance displays zero
indication before starting
measurements.
Enter the function menu with MENU
ey and choose F..-UP function. The
displayed indication is the highest
value from the series of
measurements.
Press
→ T ← ey to zero the
indication.
Note:
Autozero function and the
stabilisation indicator are
deacti ated when UP function is
acti e. The indication is the result of
continuous a eraging of 5

9. Anti-disturbance fi ter (FIL)
This function activates digital filter of
chosen intensity, which reduces the
influence of mechanical vibrations (air
blasts, base vibrations) on measurement
result. Using the filter is necessary for
accurate people or animal weighing.
Press MENU ey and choose F..-FIL
with
→ T ← ey.
The following options appears:
- F..-0 – filter deactivated
- F..-1 - filter I (wea )
- F..-2 - filter II (average)
- F..-3 - filter III (intense)
- F..-4 - filter IV (very intense)
Choose the filter of desired intensity –
the balance is now operating with
selected filter.
To return to normal wor (deactivate
the filter) enter F..-FIL menu and

10. Checkweighing (thr)
This function compares weighing
result with two reference values: lower
and upper threshold. The balance
signalises comparison result with MIN,
OK and MAX indicators and sound
signal generated when threshold values
are exceeded.
Press MENU ey and choose F..- thr
with
→ T ← ey.
The following options are displayed:
- F..-0 – deactivate the function,
- F..-1
– activate the function,
- F..-P – chec current threshold values
(use to display successive values).
Choose F..-0 option with
→ T ← ey.
Following options are displayed:
- SEt-0 - start the function with the
excess signalisation,
- SEt-1
- set lower threshold value,
- SEt-2
- set lower threshold value,
- SEt-3
- set zero excess signalisation,
Set the lower and the upper threshold
values with the following eys:
→0← - digit increase,
- decimal point,
→T← - next digit,
MENU - end.
To start chec weighing function use
Set-0 option.
To leave the function, press MENU ey

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Notes:
When necessary, use SEt-3 option to set the zero threshold value (indications
below this value are regarded as unloaded balance – see PROGI interface
description).
If comparison result is:
- smaller than lower threshold – the balance displays MIN,
- between threshold values - the balance displays OK with the sound signal when
exceeding the threshold,
- greater than upper threshold - the balance displays MAX with the sound signal
when exceeding the threshold,
The chec weighing results can be use to control external optical indicator or
batching devices. Standard balance is set for cooperation with the external
indicator. Dosing option is installed on customer’s request – to change external
device mode service intervention is necessary.
Threshold comparison results appear on P1-P3 output pins as a short-circuit state
(presented on the state chart on the next page).
During dosing (optional), short-circuit pulses lasting for 0.5s appear on P1 (I
threshold) and P2 (II threshold) outputs and for P3 output (zero threshold) – short-
circuit state for the indication below zero threshold.
Transmitter connection diagram
PROGI output is the open collector transoptor output with load capacity 100mA /
24V. Transmitter inputs must be protected with diodes, e.g. 1N4148.
It is advised to use MS3K/P electronic board (sold separately), consisting of
RM96P transmitters, with DC24V input voltage and AC250V, 8A output.
Important notes:
After switching the balance on, both thresholds are set as maximum alues.
When selecting upper threshold alue, pay attention that its alue is not greater
than the lower threshold alue.
