Practical Use
The CC.....-L / CCE…..-L controller regulates the load alternator function
sequences as well as the collection and evaluation of measured data.
The individual values measured are output automatically to the built-in
printer with the date and time of measurement and the calculated results.
A modern, touch-screen display shows all function sequences and also
serves as the user interface for operating the controller.
User guidance prompts in plain English will guide you through the simple
operation of the device.
You can choose the following languages:
- German
- English
- Spanish
- French
All of the function sequences are displayed and can be activated by pressing
the corresponding field on the right hand side of the touch screen e. g.
The number in this corresponding field is match marking to the number in
front of the function sequence.
The corresponding touch fields are not in the same line to the function
sequences on the touch screen.
Operators errors are virtually impossible!
The controller recognizes the position of the load alternator at all times; if
you select a function that cannot or should not be performed from a certain
position, an error message is displayed and the function is n
not
performed.
This prevents damage to the mass comparator that could otherwise have
been caused by operator error.
You can choose the following measurement sequences:
1 x A B B A - cycle
6 x A B B A - cycles
02 - 99 x A B B A - cycles
With the 4-position load alternator, you can compare:
- 2 weights: N - 2
- 4 weights: N - 1 / N - 2 / N - 3
- Combinations: N - 1 / 1 - 2 / N - 3 / 1 - 3 / N - 2 / 3 - 2
The reset key is to stop the measurement
also the emergency interrupt key.
As soon as you press the reset key, the load alternator is stopped and
remains in the position it was in when you pressed reset. Any measurement
sequence running at the time is stop.
The display indicates that the function was interrupted.
You can also press reset to stop a measurement sequence after you have
selected the continuous function.

Manual operation with the cursor buttons
There are four cursor buttons on the front side.
With this cursor buttons you can easy operate the load alternator, in it’s
basic movements.
That means turning right and left, lifting or lowering the platform.
This is helpful for loading the platform from the front side and other
applications.
The cursor buttons are only active if the main menu appears on the display.
See page no. 5
Movement vertically:
Movement horizontally:
Four control light identify the current position and the activity of the load
alternator.
All lights on means that the platform is in the upper position.
Movement in all directions is possible.
A blinking control light identifies the actually operation relating to the
direction of movement.
A non active control light means that a movement in this direction is not
possible.
To start the movement by your choice, press the cursor button.
Horizontal movement:
- short press turn 90 degrees,
- long press (3 sec.) turn 180 degrees,
Vertical movement:
-short press move - from the top toward to centre, or
- from the centre to the lower position, or
- raise from the lower to the centre, or
- raise from the centre to the upper position
- long press move - direct from the upper to the lower,
- from the lower to the upper position.
Note:
Two control lights on the printer indicate the capacity of the paper
A green light means: enough paper
A red light means: paper roll come to end
If the paper roll in the printer runs out in the middle of a measuring
sequence, the printer switches off.
The individual values measured and the results calculated after the printer
shuts off are stored in memory.
For example: with 6 x A B B A selected, the memory can store data from up
to 6 complete measurements.
When the memory is full, this is indicated by a crossed-out printer symbol in
the display.
The load alternator continues according to the selected function sequence.
Subsequent measurement data are not stored.
To retain the data stored in memory:
- Do not interrupt the measurement sequence
- Do not press reset
- Do not turn off the controller
Place a new roll of paper in the printer (see "Maintenance")
The stored data are output to the printer.

The time for averaging is a period of time
during which measured values are transferred
to the controller continuously; i.e.,
each time a weight is placed on the mass
comparator and stabilizes.
The average calculated from these values is
output for further processing.

To optimize measuring sequences to meet the needs of the ambient conditions, the following settings are
required.
Setting the Number of Pre - Cycles
The following setting windows is displayed.
This setting enables user-definable A B B A cycles
to be performed immediately before the actual
measurement. We recommend that you use this
setting if, for instance, you plan to start a
measurement right after placing weights on the
load alternator platform.
The factory setting is 00.

Setting the Delay Time Before Taken Values (XX)
The following setting windows is displayed
A third configuration windows is displayed.
This setting defines a period of time before measured
values are transmitted after the mass comparator has been
loaded.
This time begins as soon as the mass comparator is loaded
and the load alternator motor
shuts off.
Because of, once the mass comparator has been
loaded and the stability symbol „g“ is displayed, the weight
value may drift slightly until the weight value is recognized
as a stable value in order to be transmitted.
This time may differ from location to location and must be
determined before performing the actual
measurement.
The factory setting is 20.
To select a different number of Delay time,
Press the numeric key "3
