4INSTRUCTIONS AND GENERAL OPERATION MODE
When starting up the unit, the ON/OFF key can be pressed to carry out an initial test,
showing all the display's digits and pilots.
The equipment identifier is then displayed:
Then, if the equipment has dead weight (units with weight module or digital cell
communication), the counter value is shown the number of times the unit's metrological
(weight) parameters have been modified.

- 10 -
Finally, a message (banner type) describing the different functions of the unit is displayed.
Once complete, the unit returns again to weight mode and shows the measured weight (The
equipment performs a “0” when starting up”).
4.1 Ordi ary weighi g (Net/gross tare, tare lock)
By defect, the unit will start up showing the weight on the platform:

- 11 -
4.1.1 Qu ck zero:
Whenever, without any weight on the platform, the unit shows a weight value other than
zero.
The zero should be manually corrected by pressing the Bkey.
4.1.2 Stab l ty
The display shows the measured weight variations. The speed with which the changes
and the degree of weight stability shown are displayed depend on the values set in the
filter parameters. (Options STAB.T, FILTER and FIL.DEP in the Programming Menu).
As soon as the weight stabilises, the display activates the stability pilot ( ) to indicate the
condition of stable weight.

4.1.3 Qu ck tare
Pressing the Tkey when the unit shows stable weight other than zero causes the unit to
tare the weight on the platform, making the weight value displayed on screen pass to 0
and activating the pilot NET.
As of this moment, the display shows the net weight whenever the platform weight
changes.
Whenever the net weight displayed is not zero, pressing the Tkey again causes the unit to
carry out a new Tare.

4.1.4 Gross we ght/net we ght:
With the unit tared, pressing the Bkey allows switching between net weight and gross
weight on the display.
To indicate that the weight shown on the display corresponds to gross, enable both the B
pilot and the NET pilot:
Tare is automatically disabled when all the weight is removed from the platform, deleting
and re-displaying the gross weight:
4.1.5 Tare lock
To prevent tare from being disabled when all the weight is removed from the platform,
press the Tkey a second time when the net weight shown is zero (pressing once tares the
weight, and pressing twice locks tare).
Locking the tare activates the unit's >T< pilot in order to indicate locked tare. As of this
moment, and always when the net weight shown is zero, the Tkey can switch between
tare and tare locked modes.

4.1.6 Qu ck Manual Tare (*):
The system allows to define a value of quick manual tare. To do this without leaving the
weight mode, you must press the F3 key (This option does not work if the piece-
counting mode is enabled). When doing so, the equipment enters in editing mode of
manual tare showing a tare value with the rightmost digit flashing. To change the tare
value shown, use the alphanumeric keypad, with the key LEFT we leave without validating
and the key Fvalidate the tare value introduced, doing a Tare in the equipment while Tare
gets blocked.
For example, with a weight of 7.112 we enter a manual tare 1,538, after validating the F
key on the display will be shown:
When manual tare is activated, the printing of tare on a ticket is accompanied by the
symbol "PR" to indicate that the weighing is carried out with a manual tare.

4.2 Memorized Tares (*)
To edit and/or select a tare associated with a tare number, press F2. Doing so, in the
auxiliary display 2 is shown the preset tare corresponding to the number of tare shown on
auxiliary display 3 with the rightmost digit flashing. We can change this tare number using
the alphanumeric keypad NUM or increase / decrease its value with the UP/DOWN keys.
Within the menu of memorized tares, pressing the F2 key allows us to toggle between
editing modes of tare number and preset tare.
By last with the LEFT key exits the menu without selecting or record anything and with the F
key the memorized tare is selected or only it is recorded if it has been modified (in this last
case, with a second pressing of the Fkey we exit selecting the new tare).
(*) The F3 fu ctio key to

- If the mode Piece-Cou ter is activated (optio available via the

- 16 -
With an active preset tare, pressing the Tkey does not swing between tare and locked tare,
but allows to tare again the weight pressing it when desired, saving at the same time as the
value of memorized tare associated with the number of tare active in that moment. From
this point functionality will be restricted to the tare blocking section.
The value of manual tare will be printed on the ticket preceded by the symbol "PT",
indicating the nature of the tare.
4.3 Quick selectio code
The equipment allows to select an alphanumeric code directly simply by typing its number in
the NUM alphanumeric keypad or using the UP / DOWN keys to change to the previous /
following code shown in the auxiliary display 3.

4.4 Exte ded accumulatio a d totalisatio of weighi gs
The unit can account for weight (accumulate weighings), using the data to print a ticket per
printer and/or label and/or send the weighing data through the serial communication ports
(PORTS).
The unit allows individual weighings (printing a ticket for each weighing) or multiple
weighings (with several weighings in the same ticket and finalised with a total) to be done
automatically (when detecting stable weight on the platform) or manually (by pressing the
INTRO key when the unit displays stable weight).
Three conditions must be met in order for the unit to account for a weight (carry out
weighing): there must be stable weight, which exceeds the value defined as minimum
weighing (*), with the weight dropping below the minimum weight necessary to carry out
weighing at some point since last weighing (i.e. the last weighing has been discharged).
ressing the key
4.4.1 Manual accumulat on
In order to carry out manual accumulation, press the ENT key when the unit shows a
stable weight value above the value defined as minimum weighing.
The following example assumes a stable weight of 1,754 kg, which we have previously
tared manually at 1,538 kg. (1754-1538 = 0.216) and the active code is “HIERRO”.

- 18 -
Start manual weighing by pressing the ENT key until the message -ACC- is shown in the
display:
In the display auxiliary 2 is shown the number of weight performed, in the display auxiliary
3 the subtotal of weight accumulated so far.
If the unit is connected to a printer, and, for example, the code "100350" has been entered
(using the -CODE- option in the functions menu), the following ticket will have been
printed:
To perform a new weighing and continue to accumulate, we remove the weight on the
platform and place on it the new weight to accumulate, we wait until it is stable and again
press the ENTER key.
At the same time, if a PC connection has been configured in any of the serial
communication PORTS with MANUAL send, pressing the Tkey causes a frame to be sent
with the weight on the platform at this moment.

In order to carry out a new weighing and continue accumulating, remove the weight from
the platform and place the new weight to accumulate on it; wait for the weight to be stable
and then press the ENT key again.
4.4.2 Automat c accumulat on
Automatic accumulations do not require the INTRO key to be pressed for weighing; the
unit simply has to detect a stable weight value greater than the value defined as minimum
weighing (*) after the last weighing has been discharged.
4.4.3 Total se
To finish and totalise all the weights in process, it is necessary to press the F1(*) key or
the FUN and INTRO keys simultaneously.
In the case, for example, there have been made 4 weighings with a total weight of 0.632
Kg, the equipment shows the number of weighings and the total accumulated in the
auxiliary displays 2 and 3 respectively.

If the unit is connected to a printer, the ticket will finish, as in the following example:
In this example, the following operations have been carried out in the ticket:
- Code HIERRO has been entered.
- A container of 1.538 kg has been tared.
- A weight of 0.216 kg has been entered and accumulated.
- The weight and the container have been removed.
- A weight of 0.252 kg has been entered and accumulated.
- The weight of the platform has been removed.
- The code COBRE has been selected.
- A weight of 0.083 kg has been entered and accumulated.
- The weight of the platform has been removed.
- The code PLATA has been selected.
- A weight of 0.333 kg has been introduced.
- A memorized tare of 0.252 kg has been selected.
- An accumulation has been performed.
- Totalised by pressing FUN+ENT.
The unit can carry out and memorise up to
255
weighings
before totalising, and
can accumulate a weight total of over 18 trillion weight units (kg, lb) and a
Grand Total of over 60,000 weighings.
