INTRODUCTION TO THE USER MANUAL
This manual explains the operation of the LCB instrument through the use of the LCB Manager
software and/or the communication interface.
For example, DIVISION section: the first part explains what the division is and how to modify it by
using LCB Manager; the second part (COMMUNICATION INTERFACE) explains how to
perform the same operation by using the communication interface commands.
For a better understanding of the contents, it is assumed the knowledge of the following topics:
-management of weight values via the communication interface (see section DIVISION);
-alarm identification (see section ALARMS);
-registers and data of the communication interface (see section COMMUNICATION INTERFACE);
-LCB Manager software (see section LCB MANAGER).
LCB MANAGER
The LCB Manager software replicates on the PC monitor the Laumas instrument
interface with 7-segment display, signalling LEDs and keyboard. Any reference to
the display, the keys and the LEDs is related to the LCB Manager software.
For further information, refer to the LCB Manager manual.

Batching data status reading
Certain data, when specifically indicated, will be written directly in the EEPROM type memory. This
memory has a limited number of writing operations (100000), therefore it is necessary to pay
particular attention to not execute useless operations on said locations. The instrument in any case
makes sure that no writing occurs if the value to be memorised is equal to the value in memory.
INSTRUMENT COMMISSIONING
Check that the display shows the weight and that when loading the load cells there is an increase in
weight. If there is not check and verify the connections and correct positioning of the load cells.
-If the instrument has already been theoretical CALIBRATED (plant system identification tag
present on the instrument and on the cover: load cell’s rated data already entered):
▫reset to zero (see section TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING);
▫check the calibration with sample weights and correct the indicated weight if necessary (see
section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)).
-If the instrument HAS NOT BEEN CALIBRATED (missing plant system identification tag)
proceed with calibration:
▫if load cells data are unknown, follow the procedure in section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH
SAMPLE WEIGHTS);
▫enter the rated data of load cells following the procedure given in section THEORETICAL
CALIBRATION;
▫reset to zero (see section TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING);
▫check the calibration with sample weights and correct the indicated weight if necessary (see
section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)).
-If you use the analog output, set the desired analog output type and the full scale value (see
section ANALOG OUTPUT).
BASE PROGRAM ONLY
-If setpoint are used, set the required weight values and the relevant parameters (see sections
SETPOINT PROGRAMMING and OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION).
LOAD PROGRAM ONLY
Required settings for the first batching:
-set the minimum weight value (see section MINIMUM WEIGHT);
-set the  parameter (see section OPERATION SETTINGS);
-set the formula 01 (see section FORMULAS PROGRAMMING);
-start the batching by closing the START contact or remotely.

THEORETICAL CALIBRATION
This function allows the load cell rated values to be set.
To perform the theoretical calibration, set in sequence the values of theoretical full scale, sensitivity
and division.
By modifying the theoretical full scale, the sensitivity or the division:
-the real calibration is cancelled and the theoretical calibration only is considered valid;
-the system parameters containing a weight value will be set to default values.

- 11 -
THEORETICAL FULL SCALE
 (default: ): the system full scale is given by one cell capacity multiplied by the
number of cells used. Example: 4 cells of 1000 kg FULL SCALE = 1000 x 4 = 4000.
The instrument is supplied with a theoretical full scale value  corresponding to 10000.
To restore factory values, set 0 as full scale.

DIVISION
:the division is the minimum weight increment value which can be displayed. It is automatically
calculated by the system according to the performed calibration, so that it is equal to 1/10000 of full
scale. It can be changed and be variable between 0.0001 and 100 with x1 x2 x5 x10 increments.

TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING
Perform this procedure after having set the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION data.
Use this function to set to zero the weight of the empty system after commissioning and then later
on to compensate zero variations due to the presence of product residues.
Procedure:
-confirm the message  by pressing ;
-the weight value to be set to zero is displayed. In this phase all of the LEDs are flashing;
-confirming once again, the weight is set to zero (the value is stored to the permanent memory);
-press to display the value of the total weight reset by the instrument, given by the sum of all
of the previous zero settings.
COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
To reset the tare weight, send command 100 to CMDR.
ZERO VALUE MANUAL ENTRY
WARNING: perform this procedure only if it’s not possible to reset the weighed structure tare, for
example because it contains product that cannot be unloaded.
Set in this parameter the estimated zero value (from 0 to 999999; default: 0).

REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)
After having performed the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION and the TARE WEIGHT ZERO
SETTING, this function allows correct calibration to be done using sample weights of known
value and, if necessary, any deviations of the indicated value from the correct value to be
corrected.
Load onto the weighing system a sample weight, which must be at least 50% of the maximum
quantity to be weighed. By confirming the message  the flashing value of the weight
currently on the system is displayed. In this phase all of the indicator LEDs are off. Adjust the value
on display by using the arrow keys if necessary. After confirming, the new set weight will appear with
all the indicator LEDs flashing. After an additional confirmation, the message  will be
restored and it is possible to return to the weight displaying.
Example: for a system of maximum capacity 1000 kg and 1 kg division, two sample weights are
available, one of 500 kg and the other one of 300 kg. Load both weights onto the system and correct
the indicated weight to 800. Now remove the 300 kg weight, the system must show 500; remove the
500 kg weight too; the system must read zero. If this does not happen, it means that there is a
mechanical problem affecting the system linearity.
WARNING: identify and correct any mechanical problems before repeating the procedure.
-If theoretical full scale and recalculated full scale in real calibration are equal, it means
that the theoretical calibration is currently in use; otherwise, the real calibration based on
sample weights is in use.
-If the correction made changes the previous full scale for more than 20%, all the
parameters with settable weight values are reset to default values.
LINEARISATION OPTION ON MAX 5 POINTS:
It is possible to perform a linearisation of the weight repeating the above-described procedure
up to a maximum of five points, using five different sample weights. The procedure ends by
pressing the button or after entering the fifth value; at this point it will no longer be possible to
change the calibration value, but only to perform a new real calibration. To perform a new calibration,
should return to the weight display and then re-entering into the calibration menu.
By pressing after having confirmed the sample weight that has been set, the full scale appears,
recalculated according to the value of the maximum sample weight entered and making reference to
the cell sensitivity set in the theoretical calibration ().

-CALIBRATION A: correct, the calibration points and sample weights are in ascending order; the
procedure ends successfully.
-CALIBRATION B: incorrect, the calibration points are not consecutive; to continue, set the
calibration point 2 before 3.
-CALIBRATION C: incorrect, the sample weights are not in ascending order; to continue, use a
weight greater than 800 kg for calibration point 3.
Before performing a multi-point calibration again, reset the value of all calibration
points by sending command 6002 to CMDR.
