DETF
basic
scale
Introduction
The
DETF
basic
scale
is
a
mechanical
basic
module
for
various
seca
scales.
It
is
used
for
the
electronic
determination
of
the
weight
of
adults.
For
the
electronic
measurement
of
the
mechanical
quantitiy
“force”
a
double-ended
tuning
fork
sensor
(DETF)
is
used.
The
above
principle
of
operation
has
been
realized
on
the
one
hand
with
a
knife-edged
load
lever
system
to
meet
higher
accuracy
requirements
and
on
the
other
hand
with
a
more
cost
effective
bearing-determined
load
lever
system
to
meet
slightly
lower
requirements.
Weighing
When
a
load
is
placed
on
the
scale,
the
force
due
to
gravity
is
transferred
from
the
platform
(1)
to
the
load
lever
system.
The
long
load
lever
(2)
transmits
the
force
via
the
bending
element
(5)
on
to
the
hook
(6).
The
force
is
reduced
in
accordance
with
the
transmission
ratio
of
the
load
lever.
The
force
applied
to
the
short
load
lever
(3)
is
added
to
the
force
on
the
long
load
lever
via
the
centre
suspension
(4).
A
bending
load
acts
on
the
bending
element
that
increases
the
tensile
force
acting
on
the
pretensioned
tuning-fork
sensor
(7).
This
increases
its
resonant
frequency
in
a
non-linear
way,
which
is
measured
by
the
connected
electronics
(8)
and
converted
into
a
weight
using
the
stored
characteristic
curve.
The
weight
is
output
on
the
digital
display
(9).

In
the
bearing-determined
load

system
two
springs
exert
a
force
which
corresponds
to
a
preload
of
approx.
15
kg.
In

is
prevented
from
being
lifted
by
an
additional

device
onto
which
the

hits
if
the

on
the
vibration-sensitive
swich
(13)
which

Brief
description
of
the
DETF
module
Introduction
The
DETF
module
belongs
to
the
family
ofseca
electronic
modules
and
is
used
to
determine
weight
by
means
of
a
tuning-fork
sensor
system.
The
weight
obtained
is
displayed
on
a
separate
display
module.
To
allow
the
module
to
be
adapted
to
different
scales,
an
EEPROM
is
integrated
with
which
it
can
be
configured.
A
connection
to
the
SeSAM
bus
(Seca's
Serial
Autoconfiguring
Multicontroller
bus)
is
provided
via
which
the
scale
can
be
calibrated
and
additional
modules
can
be
connected.
The
following
block
diagram
shows
the
most
important
function
blocks
of
the
force
sensor
and
the
DETF
module:
Weight
measurement
A
tuning-fork
sensor
screwed
to
a
bending
element
is
used
as
the
weight
sensor.
If
the
scale
is
loaded,
the
bending
element
exerts
a
tensile
force
on
the
tuning-fork
sensor,
thus
increasing
its
resonant
frequency.
By
means
of
the
bandpass
filter
the
sensor
is
set
vibrating
at
this
frequency
which
is
then
measured
by
the
microcontroller.
Using
the
value
obtained
and
the
individual
calibration
data
stored
in
the
EEPROM
the
controller
calculates
the
weight.
The
first
value
obtained
after
switch-on
is
used
as
the
zeropoint.
If
the
values
obtained
later
on
do
not
deviate
strongly
from
this
value,
the
zeropoint
is
corrected
in
order
to
compensate
for
possible
drifts.
When
the
sensor
is
connected,
care
must
be
taken
that
the
wires
are
not
twisted
to
prevent
crosstalk
from
the
output
to
the
input.
Temperature
measurement
As
the
value
measured
by
the
tuning-fork
sensor
is
affected
by
temperature,
the
temperature
is
measured
regularly
and
compensated
for
accordingly.
Power
supply
Power
supply
is
provided
by
four
AA
size
batteries
and
/
or
a
seca
mains
transformer
/
desktop
mains
unit.
From
the
power
supply
the
voltage
is
passed
via
a
reverse
voltage
protection
diode
to
an
in-phase
regulator
which
provides
a
stabilized
3V
supply
voltage.

EE/Jensen

In
order
to
avoid
measuring
errors
due
to
almost
flat
batteries,
their
voltage
is
measured
at
regular
intervals.
If
the
voltage
drops
below
a
certain
limit,
the
user
is
alerted
by
the
battery
symbol
in
the
LCD.
If
the
next
threshold
is
undershot,
„bAtt"
is
displayed
and
weighing
is
no
longer
possible.
In
order
to
extend
the
on-time
when
the
scale
is
mains
operated,
the
microcontroller
receives
a
signal
when
a
mains
transformer
is
connected.
It
is
possible
to
use
rechargeable
batteries,
but
the
batteries
will
not
be
charged
in
the
scale.
EEPROM
The
DETF
module
accommodates
an
EEPROM
on
which
all
parameters
are
stored
that
can
be
used
to
influence
the
program
sequence,
for
example
various
limit
values
or
the
coefficients
for
determining
the
weight
and
for
temperature
compensation.
Furthermore,
the
scale
can
store
values
to
be
retrieved
when
the
scale
is
switched
on
the
next
time,
e.g.
the
modules
last
connected.
Serial
bus
To
allow
the
scale
to
be
calibrated
and
additional
modules,
such
as
displays,
to
be
connected,
the
DETF
module
is
equipped
with
an
interface
to
the
SeSAM
bus.
On
this
bus
the
stabilized
and
non-stablized
supply
voltages
are
available.
Via
a
data
and
a
clock
pulse
line
all
relevant
data
is
transmitted
to
other
modules.
A
special
start
line
is
provided
via
which
the
scale
can
be
switched
on
or
other
modules
can
signal
thatthey
wantto
send
data.
Fault
handling
If
faults
occur,
the
SeSAM
bus
initiates
a
fault
message
with
the
relevant
fault
code.
Furthermore,
each
fault
message
includes
the
number
of
the
module
type
on
which
the
fault
has
occurred
and
a
code
which
indicates
how
long
the
message
is
to
stay
on
display
and
which
displays
are
to
be
suppressed.
The
fault
messages
are
transferred
to
the
SeSAM
bus
and
can
be
output
by
the
display
module
(module
type
for
the

function.
To
initiate
the
function,
another
button
must
be
pressed
when
the
scale
is
started.
The
verification
counter
is
then
displayed
which
is
incremented
whenever
the
scale
is
recalibrated.
It
enables
the
user
to
check
whether
the
scale
was
manipulated.
If,
within
five
seconds,
the
button
is
pressed
longer
than
1.5
s,
the
scale
switches
to
recalibration
mode.
The

waits
to
be
loaded
with
at
least
Vi
of
the
maximum
load.
By
briefly
pressing
the
button
the
weight
displayed
can
be
decremented
or
incremented
in
steps
of
lOg
until
the
weight
of
the

placed
on
the
scale
is
reached.
The
direction
can
be
changed
by
pressing
the
button
longer.
To
stop
recalibration
the
button
must
be
pressed
longer
than
5s.
The
scale
can
be
switched
off
any
time
using
the
on/off
button
or
by
not
actuating
it
for
a
while,
thus
aborting
recalibration.
Optional
functions
The
functions
"Tare",
"Hold",
"Autohold"
and
"Replace
weight
in
repeat
measurements"
and
various
menu
functions
can
be
implemented
via
a
program
on
the
EEPROM
(on
the
weight
measuring
module).
The
functions
are
explained
below:
Tare:
The
tare
function
can
be
assigned
to
a
button
by
the
EEPROM
program.
If
the
button
is
pressed,
the
weight
is
tared
out
as
soon
as
the
display
has
settled,
if
it
is
within
the
permissible
range.
Pressing
the
button
again
alternatively
switches
the
tare
function
off
or
causes
the
weight
to
be
tared
out
again.
Hold
and
Autohold:
If
the
hold
function
is
assigned
to
a
button
by
means
of
the
EEPROM,
the
weight
reading
is
held
on
display
when
the
button
is
pressed
as
soon
as
the
value
has
stabilized.
Alternatively,
the
hold
function
can
be
automated
so
that
the
weight
will
always
be
frozen
when
it
has
exceeded
a
certain
threshold
and
is
stable.
The
hold
function
is
switched
off
after
expiry
of
a
predetermined
time
or
by
pressing
the
button
again.
In
addition
the
scale
can
be
configured
so
that
the
hold
function
will
be
deactivated
when
the
scale
is
relieved,
when
the
scale
is
relieved
and
then
loaded
again
and
/
or
when
the
load
on
the
scale
changes
significantly.
Replace

Description
of
the
calibration
mode
for
scales
with
modular
electronics
General:
Seca
scales
with
modular
electronics
are
fitted
with
a
software-controlled
calibration
device
that
is
operated
using
the
existing
controls.
This
device
can
be
used
to
recalibrate
the
scales
or
to
set
the
scales
to
different
GAL
values.
During
development
of
the
calibration
device,
special
attention
was
paid
to
the
following
requirements:
•
It
must
be
possible
to
recalibrate
the
scales
without
any
additional
external
equipment/tools.
•
It
must
be
possible
to
calibrate
the
calibration
device.
•
It
must
be
possible
to
recalibrate
the
scales
without
calibrated
test
weights.
•
The
calibration
device
shall
be
protected
against
inadvertent
use.
Calibration
counter
The
scales
fitted
with
the
new,
modular
electronics
are
equipped
with
a
calibration
counter
allowing
a
software
recalibration
to
be
carried
out
according
to
the
requirements
for
calibrated
scales.
To
carry
out
such
a
recalibration,
the
calibration
counter
setting
can
be
called
up
on
the
display
of
the
scales
and
compared
to
the
data
given
on
the
calibration
label
mark
(applies
only
for
calibrated
products).
If
the
values
are
identical,
the
scales
are
calibrated;
whereas
differing
values
match
the
situation
of
a
broken
calibration
seal.
Each
completed
recalibration
procedure
is
registered
by
the
calibration
counter,
i.e.
the
number
is
automatically
incremented
by
1.
Recalibrating
the
scales
Before
the
scales
can
be
recalibrated,
they
must
be
switched
to
the
calibration
mode:
To
do
so,
switch
on
the
scales
using
the
appropriate
control.
While
doing
so,
simultaneously
press
another
control
key
(for
example,
the
kg/lbs
key).
This
causes
the
contents
of
the
calibration
counter
(i.e.
the
number
of
calibration
procedures
carried
out
so
far)
to
be
displayed
for
five
seconds
(flashing).
During
the
5
seconds
the
contents
is
displayed,
press
the
kg/lbs
key
again
and
keep
it
depressed
(for
more
than
1.5
seconds)
to
switch
the
scales
to
the
calibration
mode.
If
the
kg/lbs
key
is
not
pressed
within
these
5
seconds,
the
scales
are
automatically
switched
back
to
normal
weighing
operation.
When
switched
to
the
calibration
mode,
the
scales
first
are
in
a
decrementing
state.
This
state
is
indicated
by
a
flashing
"dec"
that
alternates
with
the
currently
measured
weight.
Now
place
a
test
weight
onto
the
scales.
This
test
weight
should
have
a
weight
of
at
least
25%
of
the
maximum
permissible
load
for
the
weight
(we
recommend
a
weight
of
approx.
66-75%).
The
weight
shown
on
the
display
must
match
the
test
weight;
otherwise,
the
scales
are
maladjusted
and
the
recalibration
procedure
must
carried
out
in
full
length.
To
do
so,
change
the
weight
shown
on
the
display
using
the
kg/lbs
key
until
it
matches
the
test
weight.
If
the
value
shown
on
the
display
differs
from
the
test
weight
(if
not,
recalibration
is
not
required),
estimate
whether
the
required
nominal
weight
is
easier
to
reach
by
decrementing
or
by
incrementing.
To
toggle
from
the
decrementing
mode
to
the
incrementing
mode
or
vice
versa,
press
the
kg/lbs
key
for
more
than
1.5
seconds
(display
indicates
dec
or
inc).

Pressing
the
kg/lbs
key
for
less
than
1.5
seconds
causes
the
weight
shown
on
the
display
to
be
increased
or
decreased
by
10
g
(depending
on
the
mode
currently
selected).
As
the
resolution
of
the
display
is
lower,
the
displayed
value
will
not
necessarily
be
increased
or
decreased
each
time
the
kg/lbs
key
is
pressed.
Repeat
the
above
procedure
until
the
displayed
weight
and
the
test
weight
match.
Set
the
scales
to
the
middle
between
two
division
values
by
additionally
incrementing
or
decrementing
the
value
by
n=d/(2*10).
The
calibration
process
can
now
be
completed
by
pressing
the
kg/lbs
key
for
at
least
five
seconds.
The
scales
compute
and
store
a
new
linearity
coefficient
and
will
then
be
switched
off
automatically.
The
scales
are
now
calibrated.
Remove
the
test
weight.
Note:
To
prevent
improper
calibration
by
improper
use,
a
timeout
control
has
been
implemented
in
the
calibration
mode,
i.e.
the
time
that
passes
until
the
next
key
is
pressed
must
never
exceed
five
seconds.
However,
this
timeout
control
is
only
active
for
the
phase
when
switching
to
the
calibration
mode.
If,
during
this
phase,
5
seconds
have
passed
and
no
key
has
been
pressed,
the
scales
are
automatically
restored
to
the
weighing
mode
so
that
the
procedure
must
be
repeated.
To
reduce
calibration
errors
to
a
minimum,
recalibration
is
only
possible
using
a
test
weight
of
more
than
25%
and
less
than
100%
of
the
max.
load;
otherwise,
“Er:0:15”
will
appear
on
the
display.
If
the
scales
need
to
be
set
to
a
different
GAL
value,
the
displayed
value
must
be
matched
to
the
test
weight
value
adapted
to
the
GAL
value
correction.
_
Example
of
a
recalibration
procedure:
The
selected
test
weight
is
100
kg.
The
current
weight
shown
on
the
display
is
99.7
kg
(max.
difference
of
300
g).
In
this
example,
you
must
switch
the
scales
to
the
incrementing
mode
to
carry
out
the
recalibration
procedure.
After
the
kg/lbs
key
has
been
pressed
(for
more
than
1.5
seconds),
a
flashing
"inc"
is
shown.
Now
increase
the
value
by
the
first
10
g
(by
briefly
pressing
the
kg/lbs
key).
After
this
has
been
done
thirty
times,
the
value
100.0
(rounded!)
appears
on
the
display
although
the
internal
measured
value
still
is
99.95
kg
(not
rounded!).
To
correct
this
rounding
error,
increase
the
value
by
another
10
g
to
get
exactly
100.00
as
the
calculated
value.
Terminate
the
recalibration
procedure
as
described
above.
