3.2 POWER SUPPLY & START-UP
The indicator is powered with 8÷40 Vdc voltage or a 6 Vdc optional battery. For the connection to the power supply mains the
safety norms must be respected including the use of a “clean” line without noise and interference caused by other electronic
devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to completely recharge it (12 hours) in the first installation of the instrument; we
RECOMMEND disconnecting the battery if the instrument is not going to be used for more than 30 days.
Rechargeable battery version: the external optional battery lasts about 15 hours (without expansion board, with a 1-cell
platform) and a recharge time of about 12 hours.
BATTERY FEATURES
Material LEAD
Power 4,5 Ah
Voltage 6 V
THE BATTERY MUST BE SUPPLIED DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
Do not connect other equipment to the same socket as the one that the adapter is in.
Do not step on or crush the power supply cable
TO TURN ON:
The instrument is automatically turned on as soon as it is powered.
The LCD display shows:
-initially a welcome message (settable in the TECHNICAL SET-UP, << LOGO >> step, TECH.MAN.REF.)while the
instrument carries out a series of checking and preheating self tests.
-CHECK - XX name of the installed software, in which XX identifies the software language.
XX.YY is the software version installed.
-“EXECUTION AUTOZERO”; the instrument carries out the "autozero at start-up” function: if a weight is detected within
the percentile set in the << Auto 0 >> step (TECH.MAN.REF.), it is cleared; if the weight is not within this tolerance:
-with a non approved instrument, the display shows the weight after a few instants,
-with an approved instrument, the message “EXECUTION AUTOZERO” appears continuously on the
display, until the weight is within tolerance.
NOTES:
- The autozero function at start-up can be disabled in the set-up environment (only with a non approved instrument), see
the <<Auto 0>> parameter.
- If the start-up follows an eventual missing voltage of the indicator with an object to be weighed on the weighing belt, the
instrument carries out the auto zero only after the system is restored, as described in section “CYCLE RESTORAL AFTER
POWER OUTAGE” .
By pressing the 2ndF key while the version is shown in the display, the indicator shows in sequence:
XX.YY in which XX indicates the instrument type, YY indicates the metrological software version.
CHECKSUM = XXXX in which XXXX is the checksum of the libraries of the weight management.

3.3 CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY POWERED PRINTER
In a system where the indicator is connected to a printer, both are battery powered, the printer is normally maintained in
STAND-BY and powered only when a printout is needed. This function reduces the energy absorbed by the battery when
the printer is not being used.
If, in this configuration, one should power the printer to change the paper and other maintenance jobs, one needs to keep
pressed the ENTER and 0 keys (with the weighing cycle disabled, see section “ENABLING / DISABLING THE WEIGHING
CYCLE”): the display shows Prn - on, and the printer is kept on. Press any key to exit from this condition.

When the remote control is associated, the keys work according to the settings of the steps KEY 1…KEY 6.
It’s possible to delete the associating of the remote control with the follow procedure:
- press the first two keys of the remote control for three seconds;
- press Ckey by keyboard when the message is displayed;
- now the remote control is not associated to the instrument.
NOTE:
The maximum number of remote controls that can be associated to the instrument is 3. If 3 remote controls have already
associated to the instrument and if you want to associate another, the instrument delete the first associating and save the
new associating.
4.6.2 RADIO REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control works when the instrument is started. In this mode it’s not necessary to associate the remote control to
the instrument.
To enable this functioning it’s necessary to set “RD.BR 6” in the SETUP >> inF.rEd step; then in the steps KEY 1…KEY 6
it’s possible to associate the functions to the keys of the remote control (TECH.MAN.REF.).

5.2.1 BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION
The indicator is able to recognise whether it is powered by mains or by battery, and indicate its charge level; to enable the
battery level indication, one should configure the << Bt.Stat. >> step.
The charge level is shown during weighing by the battery symbol.
- : charged battery.
- : partially charged battery.
- : discharged battery: connect the indicator to the mains for recharging the battery (if provided for by that model) or
replacing the battery. Furthermore, the "Low.bat " message will appear for a few seconds on the display (voltage at
minimum level).
The indicator shows also when the battery is being recharged (if provided for the model):
RECHARGE PHASE: …
COMPLETED RECHARGE:
NOTES:
- During the recharge the instrument can be normally used.
- The instrument automatically turns off when the voltage goes below the minimum level.
5.3 MODIFICATION OF THE DISPLAYED DATA
The data shown on the display can be modified by selecting one of the various visualisations provided for by the indicator.

5.3.1 SYSTEM STATUS VISUALISATION
Below there are the statuses shown on the display, in the visualisation of the SYSTEM STATUS.
In order to select this visualisation, refer to the previous section.
STATUS
DESCRIPTION
MOTOR ALARM
Locked weighing cycle: the EMERGENCY / MOTOR LOCK input (IN.6) is active for a minimum
time set in step << BLK.MOT >>; the cycle restarts as soon as the input has been disabled.
WEIGHT ALARM
Locked weighing cycle: the instrument has detected a weight greater than the Maximum capacity
+ 9d or less than -100d, for a minimum time period configured in step << W.UN.OV >> (only with a
time period greater than 0), One should restore the weight and supply an impulse on the
RESTART input (IN.4) in order to reenable the cycle.
WAITING
The instrument is ready for weighing, and waits for the obscuring of the pack presence photo cell
(IN 2) (functioning with photo cell), or for a weight greater than the minimum weigh threshold
(functioning without photo cell).
RESTART WAIT
One should supply an impulse on the RESTART input (IN.4) in order to reenable the cycle after an
error condition.
START WAIT
One should supply an impulse on the RESTART input (IN.4) in order to enable the cycle with the
belts stopped at start-up.
IN WEIGHING
The instrument is acquiring the weight of the object.
PACK EVACUATION
The instrument has carried out the various cycle phases and proceeds with the evacuation of the
weighed object.
OUT OF TOLERANCE
During the compulsory weight correction, a restart impulse has been given with the weight out of
tolerance (see section “CORRECTION OF THE OUT OF TOLERANCE WEIGHT”).
NON WEIGHED PACK
The object to be weighed on the weighing belt has not been weighed because the consensus from
downstreasm has been disabled (IN.1) or the input voltage of the indicator has gone missing
during the weigh acquisition. One should supply an impulse on the RESTART input (IN.2) in order
to reenable the cycle.
WEIGHED PACK
The object to be weighed on the weighing belt has been weighed before disabling the consense
from downstream (IN.1) or from a missing input voltage of the indicator. One should supply an
impulse on the RESTART input (IN.4) in order to reenable the cycle.
POSITIONING
After the pack presence photo cell is obscured (IN 2), the instrument waits of the pack positioning
time before acquiring the weigh.
STOP BELT
Disabled weighing cycle (see section “ENABLING / DISABLING THE WEIGHING CYCLE”), in the
simple weighing condition, with the stopped belts.
WEIG.TIME LAPSED
During the weigh acquisition, the weigh has been unstable for a time period greater than the value
set in step << T.M.PES >> (only if the weighing at halt has been selected). One should supply an
impulse on the RESTART input (IN.4) in order to reenable the cycle.
