PULSED OUTPUT
! The Clock Option is required as part of the Pulsed Output option.
The Pulsed Output option provides one output line to indicate decreasing weight.
Pulsed Output pulls the connected signal line to ground through a 330 Ohm resistor for 150 milli-
seconds every time the scale decreases one display count.
!" 1 Display Count = 1 Output Pulse
The scale will not pull the line to ground more than twice (2 times) a second – 2 Hz.
For example, if the weight decreased from 8000 lbs to 7500 lbs, using a display count of 10 lb
counts:
8000-7500=500 (lbs weight change)
500/10 (Display Count) = 50 Pulses
There would be 50 output pulses taking about 25 seconds to output all 50 pulses. In this
example, 7500 lbs represents the Gross Weight Reference Point. The scale resets the Gross
Weight Reference Point if the weight increases 100 or more pounds for at least one(1) minute. The
scale starts pulsing outputs as weight decreases from the new Gross Weight Reference Point.
There are two (2) ways to “reset” or “abort” the internal pulse counter of the scale. Either Zero
Balance the scale or turn the scale OFF and back On again then press the [ZERO] key when the
scale shows the power outage message.
The Clock records the time, date, and Gross Weight Reference Point before the power outage.
When power is restored, the scale will display the message POWER OUTAGE – PRESS NET/GROSS TO CONTINUE
PULSED OUTPUT – ZERO TO RESET MO/DA/YR 12:00A. This provides the opportunity to start other equipment
in the proper sequence.
