Rice Lake MSI-4260 Port-A-Weigh - Manual (Page 23)

User Defined Function Keys 19
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.
AUTO TOTAL
The
USER
key under the AUTO TOTAL mode functions as Auto Total On / Auto
Total Off.
The Auto Mode has three variations which are programmed in the SETUP menu:
• AutoLoad – Any settled weight above the ‘Rise above’ threshold will be
automatically totaled. Then the scale must fall below the ‘Drop below’ threshold
before another total is allowed.
• AutoNorm – This mode takes the last settled weight to auto total with. The total
occurs only once the scale goes below the threshold. This allows the load to be
adjusted without a total occurring. Once the load is removed, the scale uses the
last settled reading for total.
• AutoHigh – Similar to the AutoNorm mode except the scale uses the highest
settled reading. Useful for loads that can’t be removed all at once.
Note
Any Total Mode will not function while the scale is in motion. Make sure
the
is on. If the system fails to achieve stable readings, increase
the filter setting or increase the size of the scale division (d) in the Init Cal
procedure.
View Total
The Function key activates the Total weight display followed by the number of
samples. While the display is showing the Total, Total is cleared by pressing
ZERO
.
Net / Gross
Switches the display between Net and Gross modes. Net Weight is defined as Gross
Weight minus a Tare Weight.
Note
RF Remote Control, and the MSI-8000 have this function as a standard
feature. On the MSI-8000, you must configure a Function Key to Net/
Gross Mode to enable this feature.
To Switch Between Net Mode and Gross Mode:
1. Press the
USER
key (Setup to the Net/Gross function).
2. The
NET/GROSS
key will only function if a Tare value has been established.
3. Switching back to Gross mode from Net mode will not clear the Tare value. This
allows the operator to use the Gross Mode temporarily without having to
reestablish the Tare value. Only clearing the Tare or setting a new Tare will
change the tare value held before switching into Gross Mode.
OIML LFT units only: The NET/GROSS key is temporary action only. The Gross
weight is displayed for two seconds and then the display returns to the Net Mode. The
only way to return to permanent Gross readings is to clear the Tare (See Section 2.3).
PRINT
If print option is installed this menu choice will appear. The setup of the print function
is covered in the Option manual.
