Rice Lake BCi Belt Scale - Calibration Guide - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction 1
1.0 Introduction
This quick setup guide is intended for use by technicians responsible for calibrating the integrator
.
WARNING
Some procedures described in this manual require work in and around working parts of the belt scale.
These procedures are to be performed by qualified service personnel only.
2.0 Overview
The integrator front panel, Figure 2-1, consists of a 27-button keypad with a large back-lit LCD display. The keys
are grouped as five configurable softkeys, five primary scale functions keys, four navigational keys, and numeric
entry keys. It should be noted that the scale parameters and calibration values cannot be changed without first
pressing the
TARE key and unlocking the parameters. After pressing the TARE key, press enter to unlock the settings.
Pressing ZERO when the display is on the main menu will clear the Reset Total .

Figure 2-1. Front Panel
The following sections describe the front panel key operation of the belt scale integrator.
Zero
This parameter initiates the front panel zero mechanism. Periodic use of the zero parameter is required due to
conveyor use and weather conditions.
Print
This will print the custom ticket if the print port is configured.
Reset Totalizer
Often during this operation of a belt scale, the totalizer will need to be reset. This is known as the reset totalizer.
Press the
Reset Totalizer softkey to access this parameter. The integrator will prompt the user, “ Clear Totalizer ?” The
operator will press Yes to clear the totalizer, or No to leave the accumulated weight in the totalizer.
Diagnostics
This softkey displays the current mV input, PPS (pulses per second from the speed sensor), current analog output
(if installed), current A/D counts, and the master total. This is just informational data that the operator or a
technician can use from troubleshooting purposes.
Supervisor Mode
Use this softkey to enter the Supervisor Mode. If there is no passcode configured the integrator will enter into the
Setup Mode. If a passcode is configured, the operator will need to enter the passcode before the integrator will
switch to the Supervisor Mode. To configure a passcode, see the Supervisor’s Parameters.
