Scale Operations 61
5.4.1 Unit Weight Operation by Sampling
Unit weight operation by sampling is accomplished by placing a 10 piece sample on the scale and then pressing the
SAMPLE key. The scale calculates a unit weight based on the weight of the sample. The following details the
procedure with UNIT WEIGHT set at either on or off.
Default settings are placed at 10 pieces. To key in a larger sample, key in the quantity and press SAMPLE .
Unit Weight Update Set to “Off” (Default)
Parts can be sampled (generating a new unit weight) or a unit weight can be scanned, but the new unit weight is not
saved into the stored copy of the loaded ID record.
Unit Weight Update Set to “On”
Parts can be sampled (generating a new unit weight) or a unit weight can be keyed or scanned and the new unit
weight is saved into the stored copy of the currently loaded ID record. If WeighVault is also enabled, a WeighVault
ID update will also occur.
5.4.2 Unit Weight Operation by Key Entry
Unit weight operation by key entry is accomplished by using the numeric keypad to enter the known value of the
unit weight and then pressing the
UNIT WEIGHT key. For example:
1. With the display in the weighing mode, enter the known unit weight of 200.00 using the keyboard.
2. Press the UNIT WEIGHT key to enter the unit weight.
3. Place a 2 lb weight on the scale. The weight display reads 2.000, the unit weight display reads 200.00, and
the quantity display reads 10.
You can also enter a weight as APW (average piece weight) or unit weight per thousand.
Note
To clear the unit value, enter 0 and push the Unit Weight key.
Piece Weight Enhancement
After performing a sample process, the unit determines the maximum number of pieces that could be accurately
used for a recompute. If the number of pieces on the scale is less than the recompute value, the RECOMP
annunciator will be shown.
1. Place items to be counted on the scale platter; make sure the RECOMP annunciator is still on.
2. Press the SAMPLE key while the RECOMP annunciator is shown. This will start a sample process using the
current piece count (instead of the SAMPLEQTY value) as the sample quantity.
Negative Counting (Full Box Counting)
Just as you can count by adding parts to the scale, you can also count by removing parts from the scale. This is
called “negative counting” because a negative weight is displayed while counting. However, you do not use the (
- )
key to do negative counting. The ( - ) key is only used to delete an entry in accumulation mode that you want to
erase. This procedure does not affect the inventory quantity for this item stored in the scale.
Note
To utilize the negative counting feature, set NEGCOUNT to “On” under the Count Menu and the regulatory
mode must be set to Industrial.
There are two ways to do this depending on whether you want to see the total amount remaining in the container or
the total amount removed from the container.
