Rice Lake 720i Programmable Indicator/Controller - Installation Manual - Manual (Page 9)

Introduction 3
Support Applications
In addition to Revolution III , the 720i is supported by
two Windows-based applications that extend its
c a p a b i l i t i e s f o r b a t c h c o n t r o l a n d d a t a b a s e
management. ProAction
PCEE , or Process Control
Engine Editor, provides functions similar to setpoint
configuration for
720i -based batch control. ProAction
DBE , the database editor, is a tool for creating, editing,
and managing databases in the 720i . Both applications
are included on the 720i Toolkit CD.
1.1 Operating Modes
The 720i has two modes of operation:
Setup mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual
require the indicator to be in setup mode, including
configuration and calibration.
To enter setup mode, press the MENU key on the
front panel, select Configuration , then press Enter .
The indicator display changes to show scale
configuration menus.
Note
Jumper J9 (see Figure 2-3 on page 9) must be
installed to enable access to setup mode.
When configuration is complete, remove the
jumper (place the jumper on a single pin of J9)
to disable access to the configuration menus.
Normal mode
Normal mode is the weighing mode of the
indicator. The indicator displays gross, net, or tare
weights as required, using the secondary display to
indicate scale status and the type of weight value
displayed. Once configuration is complete, remove
jumper J9 and affix a legal seal to the fillister-head
screws on the indicator enclosure.
