1. GETTING STARTED
The scale consist of weighing platform and TMC terminal. Another
solution is the possibility of connecting two platforms.
General information
−The intended use is to weigh goods with the possibility of tarring within
the full measuring range.
−Cooperation with a piece of software KTP NET 2003 allows to build a
net of scales. Program collects weighings from all scales in real time,
−You can start the procedure of control from the level of computer and
from the level of terminal.
PC software allows:
−Colecting weighings in the database,
−Colecting codes that characterise different data:
•Assortment code
•Operator code – (controling person)
•Batch quantity
•Batch number
•Start/Stop of control
−Defining codes of goods together with their individual description is
realized in the PC program KTP NET 2003.

Remarks concerning the save usage of scales
1. In case of weighing goods gathering electrostatic charge, connect the
weighing platform with the terminal housing via a conducting wire,
2. Power cords should be connected to a socket with zeroing / earthing.
3. Devices can fail while supplying from mains caring interference from
other devices.
4. Scales should be kept far away from devices emitting strong
electromagnetic waves because it can cause malfunction.
2. KEYBOARD

2 - equilibrium
3 – tare in memory
4 – second range
2.3. Alphanumeric keyboard
TMC terminal keyboard is compatible with PC keybords.

3. CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES
All external devices should be connected to the terminal before powering
up. Connectors for additional devices are situated in the back side of the
terminal.
In case of connecting a barcode scanner it should have defined a prefix
and a suffix for the frame:
−prefix 01 (Hex)
−sufix 0D (Hex)
Other frames are not accepted by terminal software.

4. POWERING UP
Connect all weighing platforms and all other devices to the terminal and
push the start button.
Wait for complation of the test. The display will indicate zero.
If there is no communication the following screen appears.
- 8 -

After establishing communication following information appears on the
display:
-Operator
-Product to control
-Describing data
-Menu
Using F1, F2, F3, F4 set the following items:
-product name to be controlled
Enter a product code that consists of maximum 6 digits and confirm it
by pressing ENTER or press ESC to skip the new code.
Notice:
If you put an inappropriate code you will see appropriate information
BAD CODES IN THE TERMINAL
BAD ASSORTMENT CODE
SET CODES
-operator performing the control
Enter a operator code that consists of maximum 6 digits and confirm it
by pressing ENTER or press ESC to skip the new code.
Notice:
If you put an inappropriate code you will see appropriate information
BAD CODES IN THE TERMINAL
BAD OPERATOR CODE
SET CODES
-batch quantity
Enter the batch quantity and confirm it by pressing ENTER
-batch number
Enter the batch number and confirm it by pressing ENTER

5. WEIGHING
Put a load on the scale pan. The result is ready to read after reaching
equilibrium (signalling diode marked by ).
After reading the result unload the pan. The indication returns to zero. For
two range scales switching between ranges appears automatically while
loading. The scale returns automatically to the first range accuracy after
returning to zero (autozero zone).
Weighing in the second range is signalled by a diode marked – >|2|<. If
after unloading the pan the indication is not zero press →0←key.
5.1. Tarring
For measuring the net mass of a load put a package/container on the pan
and press TARE (the display shows zero the signalling diode T is lit).
The maximal tare value can be equal to the maximal range.
A tare value is saved in non-volatile memory so it can be
remembered after powering down.
5.2. Zeroing
The zeroing range is within 4% of the maximal range around zero. If any
trial of zeroing is performed beyond the zeroing range –Err 2- appears on
the display.
Zeroing is meant as setting a new zero value for measurements,
but it is cancelled after powering down. It can be performed only in
equilibrium state.

6. GETTING STARTED
In order to adjust the scale for a specific conditions set filters to eliminate
vibrations, possible shocks.
There are to parameters for adjusting filtering:
−FILTER
It can be set as:
Very fast
Fast
Average
Slow
MEDIAN FILTER
This filter is intended to suppress single mechanical shocks. The higher
value of the filter the longer period of stabilisation.
You can enter parameters only when there is no communication:
−The PC software KTP NET is not running,
−Communication computer – terminal has been disabled another
way
Procedure:
−Press Info key
−You will see the menu of parameters:
Device Parameters
Basic Parameters
Transmission Parameters
Printer
Additional Devices
Program Parameter

−Select the parameters’ group using arrows and press Enter. Press
Esc to leave a function or to reach the higher level of the menu.
6.1. Device parameters – filter
Setting parameters:
−Set the cursor using arrows next to Filtr.
−Press Enter.
−You will have a blinking cursor over the parameter value. It means
that the value can be changed. Use arrow keys to change the
value.
−Chose one of the following settings:
1 – very fast
2 – fast
3 – average
4 – slow
−Press Enter to confirm changes.
−Press Esc to leave parameters.

6.1.1 Device parameters – median filter
−Set the cursor using arrows next to Median Filter
−Press .
−You will have a blinking cursor over the parameter value. It means
that the value can be changed. Use arrow keys to change the
value.
−Choose one of the following settings according to the drawing
below:
7. COOPERATION WITH KTP NET SOFTWARE
