Averages Parameter
About the Averages Parameter
This setting is to aid in ignoring the effects of material
impact. If material is not entering or exiting the scale evenly,
weight fluctuations can be seen. Applications requiring very
quick weight readings should reduce this setting to it’s mini-
mum. If the weight is unstable due to material impacting,
increase the averages. This sets the number of weight read-
ings that will be used to compute the displayed weight. The
average is a sliding average so that a new average is avail-
able for display at every reading.
The Filler/Dispenser does 55 updates per second which
translates to an update approximately every 20 milliseconds.
If you average enough weight readings the weight loss or
gain remains smooth. If you average the weight too much
you can cause over filling. Here is an example of 5 averages
reading 5 Engineering Units (EU):
PARAMETER:AVERAGES
RANGE: 1-250
DEFAULT: 1
Step 1. Press the Down arrow until the cursor is in front of
Averages. (See Fig. 4-84)

Step 2. Press the right or left arrow buttons to increase or
decrease the number of averages.
Step 3. Press the Enter button to set the entry.
Scale Capacity Parameter
About the Scale Capacity Parameter
If this value is exceeded by 5% a HI indication appears on
the front display. Communications to and from optional
devices are not effected. This value is the nominal operating
capacity of the scale. (It is recommended that you use the
default parameter)
PARAMETER:SCALE CAP
RANGE: .000001-999999
DEFAULT: 999999
Step 1. Press the Down arrow button until the cursor is in
front of Scale Cap. (See Fig. 4-85)

Step 3. Use the alphanumeric key pad to enter the new
Scale Capacity value.
Step 4. Press the Enter button to set the entry.
The WAVERSAVER

Parameter
About the WAVERSAVER Parameter
Typically, mechanical noise (from other machinery in a plant
environment) is present in forces larger than the weight
forces trying to be detected. The Filler/Dispenser is fitted
with WAVERSAVER
