1.7.  CHECK-WEIGHING 
 
Check-weighing is a procedure to display an indicat or or sound an alarm when 
the  weight  on  the  platform  meets  or  exceeds  the  val ues  stored  in  the 
memory.  The memory holds values for a high limit a nd a low limit.  Either or 
both the limits can be set by the user.    
NOTE:   
1. The alarm and the LED bargraph can each be set t o OFF (See section 13.1). 
The LCD display will indicate whenever the weight i s within or exceeds the 
limits by showing  ‘OK’, ‘HI’ or ‘LO’ . 
   
       
2. The limits can be locked by the manager. A Limit  Password must be used to 
change the limits or recall other limits from memor y.   
3.  If  Limit  Password  is  enabled  then  enter  the  pass word  which  will  allow  you 
to change the limits or the operation of the beeper  or bargraph. 
 Mass on the platform is above the high limit
 
 Mass is between the limits
 
 Mass is below the low limit

1.7.2  SETTING UP WHILE PARTS COUNTING OR % WEIGHING 
    
During  parts  counting  and  percent  weighing  the  limi ts  are  set  in  the  same  way  as 
above. The limits are displayed in pcs or %.    
See  Section  10.4  for  the  description  of  parts  count ing  and  Section  10.7  for  percent 
weighing.    
NOTE:  
 
1.  T he  weight  must  be  greater  than  20  scale  divisions  f or  the  check-
weighing to operate.   
  
2.   To disable the check weighing function, enter zero  into both the limits as 
described above.  When the current limits are shown , press  [CE] to clear 
the settings, then press  [Tare] to store the zero values. 
  
1.8.   LIMITS STORING AND RECALLING  
 
The indicator can store up to 10 sets of high and l ow limits in memory along with the 
weighing  units  in  use  (including  pcs  for  parts  coun ting  and  %  for  percent  weighing) 
as well as settings for the beeper and bar graph.    
During  Check  weighing  the  current  limits  can  be  sto red  or  previously  stored  units 
can be recalled.

  Press  the
  [






Lim]   key.      If  you  are  already  in 
the check weighing mode the display will ask  
if  you  wish  to  store  the  current  limits  by  
showing  “StOrE” or recall another set of limits 
by  showing  “rECALL”.  The [






Lim]   key  can  be 
used to toggle between  “StOrE” and “rECALL”.  
 
 
 
 
   
  I
f  you  want  to  store  the  limits,  when  “StOrE” 
is  displayed  press  the  [Tare]  key.  The  display 
shows  “St  ”.    Enter  a  number  corresponding 
to  the  desired  memory  location  (0  to  9).  “St 
X”   will  be  displayed  for  2  seconds  indicating 
the  location  X  where  the  current  limits,  
weighing  units  and  settings  for  the  beeper  
and  bar  graph  are  stored.  The  indicator  will  
continue to work with the current settings as  
active.  
 
   
 
   
  If  you  wish  to  recall  any  of  the  pre-stored  
limits,  press
  [Tare]  when  “rECALL”  is 
displayed. The display shows  “rEC ”. Enter the 
number  corresponding  to  the  desired  
memory location (0 to 9)  to be recalled.  “rEC  
X”   will  be  displayed  for  2  seconds  indicating 
the  values  stored  in  the  location  “X”  is  being  
recalled.    The  indicator  will  change  to  the  
recalled  limits,  weighing  units  and  settings  
for the beeper and bar graph.

NOTE:    
1. If the recalled limit is for parts counting, the di splay will show the last sample 
value used, ready for a new sample to be counted.    
 
2. If  the  recalled  unit  is  a  percent  weighing  limit,  t he  display  will  show  the  last 
sample value used, ready for a new sample to be wei ghed.   
 
3. If the memory location was empty the indicator will  return to weighing.  
 
 
1.9.   PERCENT WEIGHING  
 
The indicator can be set to perform percent weighin g.  See Section 13.1. 
  
The  indicator  will  use  a  mass  on  the  platform  as  th e  100%  reference  weight.  If  the 
platform  is  empty  (or  the  indicator  is  tared)  then  the  user  can  input  a  reference 
weight using the keypad.    
·   If using a reference weight (or object) as your 100 % reference, add the weight 
to the to the platform. 
  ·   Press  [Func] . The first option is  “FUnC 1”, press the  [Func] key 3 more times to 
display  “FUnC 4” .  
 
·   Press the  [Tare] key. “F4 PCt”  will be displayed.  
 
 
    
						

							 
25                              © Adam Equipment Company 2013 
·  Press  [Tare]  again to enter percent weighing. The indicator wil l set the sample 
mass on the platform as 100% reference weight.   
 
NOTE:  If  there  is  no  reference  weight  on  the  pan  and  perc ent  weighing 
function  is  entered,  pressing  [Tare]  again  will  return  the  indicator  to  normal 
weighing. 
     
 
 
 
·  Remove  the  sample  weight.    Then  any  other  weight  pl aced  on  the  platform 
will  be  displayed  as  a  percentage  of  the  original  s ample.    For  example,  if 
3500g is placed on the platform and percent weighin g is selected, the display 
will show  100.00%. Remove  the  3500g  weight  and  plac e  a  3000g  weight.  The 
display will show 85.7% as 3000g is 85.7% of 3500g.  
 
 
·   The  number  of  decimal  points  will  depend  on  the  wei ght  used.  A  smaller 
weight will show only “100%” while a larger weight  might show “100.00%”.    
 
·  If  the  indicator  was  showing  zero  weight  before  ent ering  this  function,  then 
the user must manually enter the weight to be set a s 100%. When “F4 PCT” is 
displayed,  enter  the  weight  to  be  used  for  the  100%   reference,  then  press 
[Tare]  to accept the reference weight. The display will s how “0.00   %”.

·  If the indicator shows  “x x . x x %”, which is the last weight used as a reference, 
press   [CE]  to  clear  and  use  the  numeric  keypad  to  enter  a  new   value.    Press 
[Tare]  to accept the new reference weight.    
 
·  The weight entered must be greater than 50 scale di visions.   
   
·  Press  [Unit]  to return to normal weighing. 
  
NOTE:   
The  display  may  jump  by  large  numbers  unexpectedly  if  small  weights  are  used  to 
set as 100% reference.   The indicator checks if th e weight is too small and will show 
Error 7.

1.10.  ANIMAL (DYNAMIC) WEIGHING  
The  indicator  can  be  set  to  animal  (dynamic)  weighi ng  for  weighing  any  items  that 
are unstable or may move.    See Section 13.4.  
The indicator  uses a  special filter to minimise the   effects of any   movement   on  the 
platform.   
  
·  Press  [Func] . The first option is  “FUnC 1”, press the  [Func] key 3 more times to 
display  “Func 4” .  
 
 
·   Press  the   [Tare] key. “F4  PCt”  will  be  displayed.  Press  the  [Func] key  to 
advance to the second function,   “F4 AnL”,   Animal weighing. 
   
 
·   Press  [Tare]  to enter the animal weighing function.  
 
·  To  use  the  Animal  Weighing  function  it  is  necessary   to  set  the  amount  of 
filtering  required  for  the  animals  to  be  weighed.      More  active  animals  will 
require a higher level of filtering to give a stabl e result.    The display will show 
“Filt x”   where  x  is  a  value  from  1  to  5.    The  higher  the  va lue  the  greater  the 
amount  of  filter will be.    To  increment  the  value  s hown  press the   [Func] key 
then press the  [Tare] key to accept it. 
 
·  The  display  will  flash  “Ani   “  2  times  then  show  the  current  weight,  0.00.    The 
indicator is now ready to weigh.

1.10.1  A NIMAL WEIGHING PROCEDURE 
 
·  With the platform empty the display will show zero  weight..  Place containers 
or  blankets  onto  the  platform  and  press  the   [Tare] key  to  zero  the  display.   
The indicator may go into the animal weighing proce dure when the items are 
placed on the platform but will return to showing z ero when the [Tare] key is  
 
·  Place the animal to be weighed on the platform.    
 
·  When  a  stable  reading  is  found,  the  display  will  sh ow  this  value,  and  the 
display will be locked until the [Unit] key is pres sed.  The display will show the 
“Hold” symbol while the display is locked. Remove t he animal, the display will 
hold the weight value.  
 
·  Press  the  [Unit] key  to  unlock  the  display.    The  display  will  flash  “Ani ”  twice, 
and be ready for the next animal.  
  ·   To weigh a second animal press the  [Tare] key if necessary to zero the display, 
and  place  the  next  animal  on  the  platform.    It  is  a lso  possible  to  simply  place 
the next animal on the scale without clearing the l ast value first.  The indicator 
will detect the new weight and hold it as before. 
 
·  The  indicator  will  remain  in  the  animal  weighing  mo de  until  the [Zero] key  is 
pressed. Then it will return to normal weighing.
