INTRODUCTION
This publication, or any part of it, cannot be reproduced without the MANUFACTURER’s written authorisation.
The purpose of this manual is to inform the use about the various operating modes, the features of the keys and the indications on
the display of the “DFWPM” series portable wireless repeater.
Utmost attention was paid when drafting this manual; however, we appreciate anyone pointing out to us any unintentional errors
or inaccuracies.
• Remotely control one or more
weighing scales, repeating the re-
set, tare, operating mode, print and
switch-off functions;
• display the total weight of all con-
nected weighing scales, for exam-
ple when the object to be weighed is
very bulky and needs more weigh-
ing points to be weighed as a whole.
DFWPM is designed to:
• Repeat the weight and all the
status icons of a single weigh-
ing scale at a time (up to 4
weighing scales can be con-
nected).
• save each weighing operation
carried out, both for internal use
and for type-approved applica-
tions in relation to third parties;
• download the list of weighing op-
erations on the PC.
(“USB” version only)

Access to the "download" mode
of the weighing operations
The “USB” version allows you to save weighing operations in real time and download them on a PC via USB port for subsequent
processing.
The memory can contain up to 500 weighing operations for internal-use applications or 250 weighing operations in the version
type-approved for relationships with third parties (with Alibi memory).
The data saved at each weighing operation is:
• progressive weighing number
• number of the weighing scale used
• date and time
• gross weight
• tare weight (which is always zero).
• net weight (which is equal to the gross weight, even if the tare has been calculated)
• weighing operation code in the Alibi memory (if there is one)
• unit of measurement
(*) This function requires advanced configuration.
