3.0 User Defined Function Keys
The following function descriptions are for optional user defined functions that are
programmed on the front panel USER key or the two function keys (F1 & F2) on the
RF remote control. The functions TOTAL, VIEW TOTAL, and NET/GROSS are
available full time on the RF remote control. To enable any of the USER key
functions, you must set up the USER keys following the procedures in Section 4.0.
TEST
The TEST function provides an LED test that lights all LEDs at once, next the SW
Model number followed by the software version number, the battery voltage, and then
performs a display test that counts from 00000 to 99999. Other internal tests are
performed and if any test fails, an error code will display. See Section 8.0 for a
description of all error codes. Press the
USER
key again within two seconds to enable
a single step through all the test functions. In the single step mode, use the
USER
key
to scroll through the available test functions and the
TARE
key to start or display the
individual tests. Use the
ZERO
key to exit individual tests. Use the
ZERO
key to exit
entirely from the TEST function.

TOTAL
Note
The total mode must be programmed from the setup menus before the
USER key will function.
For accumulation of multiple weighments. The accumulator always uses the
displayed weight, so GROSS and NET readings can be added into the same TOTAL.
There are four modes of totalizing: manual and three auto modes. The manual mode
requires the TOTAL button be pressed with the weight on the scale. The weight will
be added to the previously accumulated value. This assures that a weight on the scale
is only added to the total once. Both the manual and three auto total modes require
that the weight on the scale return below 0.5% (relative to full scale) of GROSS
ZERO or NET ZERO before the next weighment can be added. Applied weight must
be ≥1% of full scale above GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before it can be totaled.
MANUAL TOTAL
The
USER
key under the MANUAL TOTAL mode functions in this manner:
Weight is > 1% of Capacity and has not been totaled – Pressing the USER
key
will add the current weight to the TOTAL weight. The ACK LEDs blink to indicate
the weight was accepted. The TOTAL annunciator lights and the total weight is
displayed for five seconds and then the number of samples is displayed for two
seconds.
Current Weight has been totaled – Pressing the
USER
key will display the total
weight for five seconds (View Total) without changing the total value. The TOTAL
annunciator will light during the TOTAL weight display. After five seconds of total
weight display, the number of samples is displayed for two seconds.
Weight is <1% of Capacity – The
USER
key functions as “View Total” only and
functions as view total until the 1% threshold is exceeded to allow the next addition to
the total value.
