13.1. Conditions of operational use
In order to assure a long term operating period with appropriate
measurements following principles should be adhered to:
• Avoid applying mechanical shocks to the weight pan:
35
).
• Loads should be placed in the centre of the pan (eccentric errors
are outlined in PN-EN 45501 chapter 3.5 and 3.6.2):
• Do not apply concentrated forces (all load in one point):
• Avoid side loads, particularly side strokes:

After placing a load on the weight pan net mass will be shown. Tarring is
possible within the whole range of the scale. After unloading the pan the
display shows the tarred value with minus sign.
You can also inscribe tare values to the product database. Every product has
a field “Tare”. In that case tare is automatically set to this value after selecting
the product.
Notice:
Tarring cannot be performer when a negative or zero value is being
displayed. In such case Err3 appears on the display.
13.4. Inscribing tare
It is possible to inscribe a tare value.

of the II range to the moment of returning to zero (autozero range
where the scale switches back to the I range.
Switching between the II range and I range is automatic both in the
switching point the autozero zone. While in AUTOZERO – pictogram
appears. Then pictogram
is off and a scale returns to weighing in the
I range.
13.6. Toggling between weighing units

14.3. Autozero
The autozero function has been implemented in order to assure precise
indications. This function controls and corrects „0” indication.
While the function is active it compares the results continuously with
constant frequency. If two sequentional results differ less than the declared
value of autozero range, so the scale will be automatically zeroed and the
and
will be displayed.

If AUTOZERO is disabled zero is not corrected automatically. However,
in particular cases, this function can disrupt the measurement process e.g.
slow pouring of liquid or powder on the weighing pan. In this case, it is
advisable to disable the autozero function.

MIN = the minimum threshold of acceptable weighing - LO
MAX = the maximum threshold of acceptable weighing - HI
• If a measurement is over the MIN (to the value of 1/3 of MIN-MAX) the
green field with a triangle on the left is visible. If the measurement is
between 1/3 and 2/3 of MIN-MAX the rectangular green field is visible.
If the measurement is between 2/3 of MIN-MAX and MAX a green field
with a triangle on the right is visible.
• If the mass value is below the MIN threshold red fields with red arrows
on the left are visible. The lower mass value the more red arrows are
visible.
• If the mass value is over the MAX threshold red fields with red arrows
on the right are visible. The higher mass value the more red arrows
are visible.

Working mode <
CPG> enables carrying out a control of prepacked goods
(single stand of network) that is supported by database containing list of
products and operators. A control started from a scale is completed
automatically after checking an appropriate quantity of packages (samples).
The scale allows for connecting it with a PC computer featuring computer
software E2R SYSTEM and thus forming a multiposition (network) system.
Each scale in the network system is an independent weighing stand, and data
on the control process is sent to the computer software on the real time basis.

The computer software enables real time acquiring data from each connected
scale. The system allows for starting a control process from the scale or from
the level of computer software.
The acquired data allow for carrying out a quality control of manufactured
packaged goods for:

31.3. Carrying out density determination procedure
Working mode < Density> enables determining density in 4 different
methods, depending on material which density should be measured.
Methods of density determination: Liquid, Solids, Pycnometer, Porous
material.
31.3.1. Determining density of liquids
Density of liquid is determined by measuring mass of a sinker with
determined volume. First, the sinker has to be weighed in the air, and
then in liquid of which the density should be measured.
The difference between the two measurements is displacement weight,
which is used by scale software to calculate the density of tested liquid.
Before starting the measurement, the sinker’s volume should be inserted
to scale’s memory. The sinker’s volume is given on its hook.

31.3.2. Determining density of solids
Density of solids is determined by weighing a solid object in two different
medium: in the air and in auxiliary liquid with determined density. The
difference between the two measurements is displacement weight, which
is used by scale software to calculate the density of tested solid.
Before starting the measurement select <
Local parameters> menu
and choose < Standard liquid> to be utilized in the density determination
process. Also determine the temperature of the auxiliary liquid. Declaring the
temperature of the auxuliary liquid enables matching its density to a table of
liquid densities. In case of selecting liquid type “Other”, its density value
should be specified in parameter <
Standard liquid density>. Here, the
< Temperature> parameter is specified only for information purpose o
f the report.
Process course:

Density> database. The report is named by process date.
31.3.3. Determining density of pycnometer
Pycnometer- it is a glass vessel which enables precise measurement of liquid
mass at a precisely determined volume. A measurement method applying a
pycnometer is one of the simplest means of determining density of liquids
(densimetric method).
The key component of a pycnometer is a ground-in stopper with dumped
capillary tube, which allows easy observation of the level of liquid contained
in the vessel. Before the measurement process, the pycnometer is
intentionally overfilled with tested liquid, then it is closed tightly with
a stopper and thermally stabilized.
154
The excess of liquid pouring through the capillary tube is removed with an
absorbent paper. Then, the vessel is immediately placed on a scale, and its
mass is determined as quickly as possible. During the mass measurement,
due to contraction of the volume of liquid its level usually noticeably
decreases in the capillary tube, but this does not matter if at the time of
placing instrument on the scale, it was completely filled and had correct
temperature. Small diameter of the capillary tube prevents evapouration of
the liquid from the vessel, and therefore it does not affect the measurement
result.
Before starting the density determination using a pycnometer, data on its
volume and mass should be inserted to scale’s memory. If pycnometer’s
mass is not specified in the local parameters, than the process starts with
determining mass of an empty pycnometer.
Process course:
•
Press <
Local parameters> key to enter the setting of local
parameters in density mode.

the test of liquid density determination is carried out. The temperature
value is expressed in [°C]. Accept inserted value by pressing
key. The temperature serves here for information purpose, and it is
placed on reports from carried out processes.

40.3. Mathematical function
Extended functionality of the mathematical functions with use of a variable
<{5} Mathematical function> enables carrying out an optional operation on
numbers and variables available on the list. The basic available mathematical
functions are:
•
•
•
•
Adding (+)
Subtracting (-)
Multiplying (*)
Dividing (/)
The additional functionality provides using in the calculation the existing
variables, thus enabling acquiring mass from a specified weighing platform,
and its processing in a desired way.
An example:
{5: ([43:1] + [43:2]) / 2}
The above application of a variable <{43} Platform mass> causes acquiring
mass from a weighing platform determined in the formatter (:1 and :2), and
their dividing by 2 which enables taking the average mass from both weighing
platforms. Use of the brackets enables carrying out the operation in an
appropriate sequence and in accordance with basic matjematical principles.
Notice:
Variables in the structure of the mathematical operations are noted insquare
brackets [ ] and not as previously in { } brackets.
Additionally, a operator can use the advanced functions enabling extended
means of data modification. The advanced functions are used in a form of text
marker and arguments in brackets:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
round (numeric value, rounding precision (number)) - rounding
abs (numeric value) – absolute value
sin (numeric value) - sine
cos (numeric value) - cosine
tan (numeric value) - tangent
sqrt (numeric value) - radical
pow (numeric value, power base (number)) - power
log (numeric value) – logarithm
log10 (numeric value) – logarithm base 10
202
Notice:
A numeric value is comprehended as an optional number or an optional
mathematical operation that returns a numeric value.
There are additional functions that modify the text values, and they can also
operate on numbers that are coverted to text:
• remove (“text value”, initial place (number), quantity of characters to be
removed (number)) – a return is a residue after deleting a part of the text
value, from the initial point to a determined quantity of characters. In
case the third parameter is not specified the text value will be deleted till
its end.
• substring (“text value”, initial place (number), quantity of characers to be
copied (number)) – a return is copied text value from the initial point to a
quantity of characters to be copied. In case the third parameter is not
specified the text value will be copied till the end.
• tolower (“text value”) – a return is a complete text value in small letters.
• toupper (“text value”) – a return is a complete text value in capital letters.
• replace (“text value”, old text, new text) – a return is a text with replaced
letters of parts of the text, determined in the second and their parameter.
Notice:
The text values are put in quotation marks “ ”.
Examples:
remove (“Text sample”,11) – the operation causes returning a text value:
“Text sample”.
toupper (“Text sample”) – the operation causes returning a text value
“TEXT SAMPLE”.
replace (“Text sample”, “text ”, “text”) - the operation causes returning
a text value “Text sample”.
replace (”2.000”,”0”,”1”) - the operation causes returning a text value
“2.111”. The value can be used for standard mathematical calculations,
where it will be converted “on the fly” in case the operation requires it.

45. APPENDIX F - Communication with barcode scanners
1. For communication with barcode scanners RADWAG scales use RS232
interfaces and simplex transmission (one direction) without handshaking.
Only two wires are required for assuring such a transmission. Used
scanners should be equipped in such interface with disabled both
hardware and software handshaking.
2. Both scales and scanners have the possibility of setting of transmission
parameters. Both devices are required to have the same parameters set
: baud rate, number of data bits, parity control, stop bits. e.g. 9600,8,N,1
– baud rate 9600 bit/s, data 8-bits, no parity control, 1 stop bit.
215
3. Barcode scanners can send additional information apart from the
expected barcode e.g. symbology (type of barcode). It is advisable
to disable such information because RADWAG devices and
software do not use it.
4. Some RADWAG systems can omit unnecessary information by
using parameters that mark the beginning and the length of the
code required to analyse.
5. A special protocol is required in order the code be received by
RADWAG equipment. It is required to program an appropriate
prefix and suffix. Prefix – one byte 01 hexadecimally, suffix one
byte 0D hexadecimally.
6. Most barcode scanners allow to enable/disable different
symbologies (barcode types).
7. Programming of scanners is usually performed by reading
special barcodes or by using an external software tool.
8. Scanners marketed together with RADWAG systems are
always configured according to the rules above.
