I. OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
For specific operator instructions refer to the firmware guide included with this manual, or refer to
the “ON CD Manual.”
A. POWER ON SEQUENCE
When the “ON” button is pressed, the indicator will power up into either the warm up cycle or go
to gross cycle depending upon how the indicator is configured. These two cycles refer to “warm-
up” or “GotoGr” in the configuration menu. These options are set up by the installer to comply
with your local weights and measures regulations. In most applications, the indicator will be
configured on the GotoGr mode. This will allow simple power on and go operation. During
either power on mode, the indicator will enter the segment test.
SYSTEM WARM UP
During a warm up cycle, the upper weight display will show all eight’s and the annunciators will
flash on and then off, with appropriate LED’s displaying the current configuration of the indicator
(Gross or Net, Lbs. Or Kg’s etc). If the warm up cycle lasts for more than 30 minutes call your
scale service dealer. Upon completion of the warm up cycle the unit will enter the segment test.
The warm up cycle is designed to allow the circuits to stabilize at a working temperature. The
warm up option in not necessary for normal indicator operation.
SEGMENTS TEST
During the segments test, the weight display will show all eight’s and all eight annunciators will
be on. If no interaction is taken with the indicator, the gross mode will be displayed.
NOTE: If system warm up is disabled (i.e. go to gross gotogr enabled) the unit will enter
the segment test at power on bypassing warm up cycle.
B. PRESSING THE ESC KEY DURING SEGMENTS TEST
By pressing esc during segments test the user will have options to change time/date, load/delivery,
tolerance, print settings, remote settings and others. For more detail refer to the “TCX-1300
ON+ESC Flow chart, included with this manual, or specific sections within this manual.
C. ID/RECALL
Pressing the ID/RECALL button will usually access the Mem Card functions of the TCX 1300,
some versions of Firmware do not operate this way, refer to your Firmware guide for more
information. The Mem Card functions allow you to pass information to the Mem Card “Log in”
and place completed feeding records into the Mem Card “LogoUt”.
