Tares the scale. Used to deduct and store the weight currently on the scale if it is not required as part of the final weighing result.

A secondary function, is of an “Enter” key used when setting up a value for the Parameters.

Selects parts counting. Used to set the sample quantities while parts counting.

A secondary function is of incrementing the active digit when setting a value for Parameters.

Selects the weighing unit to be displayed from those which are enabled. See parameter S1 in section 7.4 in the full manual.

A secondary function  is to move the active/flashing digit to the left when setting values for Parameters.

6


Selects the Function parameters of the scale.

A secondary function (C) is to act as a clear key when clearing an accumulated total.

Sends the results to a PC or a Printer using the RS-

232 interface. It also adds the value to the accumulation memory if the accumulation function is not automatic.

A secondary function (ESC) is to return to normal operation when the scale is in a Parameter setting mode.

To switch the Indicator on or off.

The WARRIOR will store the weighing unit and the check weighing values currently in use if power is powered off. These will be re called when the Indicator is next powered on

5.0 DISPLAYS

The LCD display will show a value as well as the unit currently being used. In addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below, inside or above the check-weighing limits.

Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET), the scale is at zero and stable, if a value has been stored in memory, or when the animal weighing function has been enabled. A battery symbol will show the state of charge of the internal battery.

7


6.0 OPERATION

6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY

•

You can press the [0/T] key at any time to set the display to zero.

This will usually be when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show an indicator for zero.

•

The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform.

However you may need to press the [0/T] key to re zero the scale if small amounts of weight are shown when the platform is empty.

6.2

TARING

•

Zero the scale by pressing the [0/T] key if necessary. The

“ZERO” indicator will be ON.

•

Place a container on the platform and a value for its weight will be displayed.

8


•

Press the [0/T] key to tare the scale. The weight is deducted and stored as the tare value leaving zero on the display. The “NET” indicator will be ON and as a product is added only the net weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one.

Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.

•

When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared just before removing the container this value is the gross weight which includes the container and the entire product it contains. The “ZERO” indicator will be on to indicate that the platform is back to the same condition as it was when zero was last set.

•

To delete a Tare value, press [0/T] when the pan is empty.

6.3 WEIGHING A SAMPLE

To determine the weight of a sample, first tare the empty container if it is to be used and then place the sample in the container. The display will show the net weight of the sample and the unit of weight currently in use.

9


6.4

PARTS COUNTING

If parts counting is enabled, See section 7.4 in the full manual, it is possible to count parts using a sample of the parts to determine an average piece weight.

•

If using an empty container, place the container on the top pan and press [0/T] to zero the display. Press the [PCS] key to enter parts counting mode.

•

The scale will show “

P 10

”. Change the sample size to the desired quantity by pressing the [PCS/ ] key. It will cycle through the options: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and back to 10.

•

Place the nominated sample size into the container and press

[0/T]. The sample number should match the sample amount options available for parts counting, i.e., 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces.

•

The display will now show the amount of parts in the container, and as more parts are added the display will increase to show the number of parts in the container at that time. (PCS).

Pressing the [Unit/



] key will display the net weight (PCS and kg), pressing it a second time will display the unit weight (g/pcs), and the third time will display the count again (PCS).

•

Press the [PCS/ ] key to return to normal weighing. Press the

[PCS/ ] key again to start counting a different sample.

6.5 CHECK-WEIGHING

Check-weighing is a procedure where the LED’s come on (and if enabled, an alarm to sound) when the weight on the scale meets values stored in memory. The memory holds the last values for a high and a low limit when the power is turned off. The user can set either one limit or both, see the full version of the user manual for details of the check weighing function.

10


6.6

ACCUMULATED TOTAL

•

The scale can be set to accumulate manually by pressing the

[Print/M+/Esc] key, or automatically when a weight is removed from the scale. See the Section 7.3 of the full manual for details.

6.7

PERCENTAGE WEIGHING

The scale can be set to perform percentage weighing. See Section 7.2 of the full version of the user manual for complete details.

6.8

ANIMAL (D

YNAMIC

) WEIGHING

The scale can be set to animal (dynamic) weighing for weighing any items that are unstable or may move. See Section 7.4 of the full version of the user manual for complete details.

7.0 USER PARAMETERS

Pressing the [Func/C] key during normal operation allows the user to access the parameters for customizing the scale. The parameters are split into 4 groups-

1. Check weighing parameters,

2. Percentage and Animal Weighing Functions

3. RS-232 parameters

4. Scale parameters

•

When [Func/C] is pressed the display will first show “

8.0 BATTERY OPERATION

•

The scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life can be up to 70 hours depending on the load cells and how the backlight is used.

•

A battery symbol is shown on the display which indicates the current charge of the battery, 3 bars means fully charged. When just the outline of the battery and no bars are visible the battery needs to be re charged.

•

To charge the battery, simply plug the adaptor into the mains power, and also into the input connector on the rear of the

Indicator marked DC 12V. The scale does not need to be turned on.

•

The battery should be charged for 12 hours to reach full capacity.

•

Near the display is an LED to indicate the status of battery charging. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery has a full charge. If it is red the battery is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is being charged.

9.0 RS-232 INTERFACE

The WARRIOR indicator is supplied with bi-directional RS-232 interface as standard. The scale when connected to a printer or computer outputs the weight with the selected weighing unit through the RS-232 interface.

11.0 CALIBRATION

The scale can be calibrated using the following procedure. To enter this procedure it is necessary to use Func 4 which is accessible using the

[Func/C] key as described in section 7.4 in the full manual, or by using the passcode access as described in section 12.0.

The scales calibrate using either metric or pound weights depending on the weighing unit being used before calibration. The display will show either "kg" or "lb" to identify the weights expected.

PROCEDURE

•

Enter the calibration section using Func 4, C8 CAL or using the passcode as described in section 12.0.

•

The display will show " unLoAd

".

•

Remove any weight from platform and when the stable symbol is on press [0/T].

•

The display will show "

Ld

" then “

0000XX

” which shows the last calibration weight used. Place this calibration weight on the scale and press the [0/T] key. If the weight you put on the scale does not match the value displayed, press the [Func/C] key to clear the vale then use the [Unit/  ] key and [PCS/ ] key to set the correct value. When it is correct press [0/T].

•

If the calibration is acceptable the scale will run a self-test during which the calibration weight should be removed. If an error message “

FAiL L

” is shown try calibration again as a disturbance may have prevented a successful calibration.

After calibration the scale should be checked to verify the calibration is correct. If necessary repeat the calibration making sure that the scale is stable before accepting any weight.

14


12.0 SERVICE PARAMETERS

The scales will allow entry to the parameters if the [Tare] key is pressed during the power on cycle. The passcodes work as explained earlier.

In this case the display will show the passcode request screen, “

P - - - -

“ . To continue enter a passcode as described below.

Entering passcode 0000 will allow calibration as shown in section 11.

Entering 1000 will allow access to a limited set of parameters described in section 12.1.
