3.8. Set-Point Alarm Function
This function has two methods: Filling and Weight Check Method.
3.8.1. Filling Method
Operator fills the item on the platter up to the target weight range. The target range
is determined by 2-set-point (set-point 2 and set-point 3) and continuously fast
alarm will be alert. So operator can know the weight is within the target-weight
range. Set point 1 and set point 2 may be programmed as a fine adjustment range.
The intermediate alarm notes to operator the weight is closed to target weight.
(Near mini. Target) (Mini. Target) (Max. Target)
Zero Set point 1 Set point 2 Set point 3 Set point 4 Full Span
Note: continuous slow alarm continuous fast alarm
3.8.2. Weight Check Method
Operator places item on the platter and check (confirm) whether the weight of the
item is within allowable error range. Basically the allowable error range can be
defined via the setting of 2-set-points (For example: set point 2 and set point 3). And
also you can set the range within point 1 till point 2 and point 3 till point 4 is out of
allowable range. Then the operation can judge the weight error is allowable for not
via the sound of alarm.
(Out of Range) Min.) (Allowable) (Max.) (Out of Range)
Zero Set point 1 Set point 2 Set point 3 Set point 4 Full Span
Note: Continuous slow alarm, Continuous fast alarm

Data will be output when DS-425 receives the command (ACK 06H) form PC. PC
send a data request signal ACK to DS-425 side, then DS-425 transmits the weight
data to PC after received the request signal, the weight data will be transferred
immediately or hold the command till weight stable. If weight cannot be stable within
the certain interval (set by specification), DS-425 will transmit NAK (15H) to PC.
Note: If ACK signal is sent to DS-425 during digital tare or re-zero operation, NAK
signal will be sent to PC.
