Introduction

2 Introduction
This manual covers operation of the ZQ375 Checkweigher from Avery Weigh-Tronix.
The checkweigher consists of a bench scale, an attached column and the ZQ375
Checkweigher head or indicator.

The ZQ375 Checkweigher is a reliable, easy to operate, high speed weighing scale,
designed to allow entry of a target weight, along with selected over and under weight
limits for the rapid processing of items that must be checked for conformity to a precise
weight range. It offers a range of standard statistical packages to allow precise
monitoring of any pack run. The data received enables the operation to be fine-tuned
to maximise performance and profitability.

It may be used in stand-alone or interfaced applications. The ZQ375 incorporates serial

multi-scale communications capabilities. The scale is housed in a watertight enclosure
to permit use in wet environments and can be washed down as necessary to meet
sanitary requirements.

This scale has been calibrated and inspected for mechanical and electronic integrity
prior to shipment. It should be free of defects and in perfect operating condition upon
receipt. To confirm this, the scale should be inspected immediately for any physical
damage incurred in transit. If the scale is damaged, contact your local Avery Weigh-
Tronix supplier.

2.1 Initial setup

Unpack the unit and place the it on a stable, non-vibrating, level surface. Feet can be
adjusted to level the scale by loosening the locking sleeve and rotating the foot in or
out until the base becomes level. Use the bubble level located between the scale and
the column.

Once level, tighten the locking sleeve up against the base to completely cover the feet’s
threads and to keep the feet from turning. See Figure 2.1.

Figure 2.1 Locking sleeve shown in unlocked and locked position

Plug the unit into an easily accessible, grounded power receptacle. See General
information and warnings on page 7 for a complete list of precautions concerning the
electrical safety of this product and for cleaning procedures.

Sim375 Simple, quick checkweighing application. Fast and simple to set up.
Displays a ± deviation reading from the target weight set within the scale.

Mid375 Mid-level checkweighing. This application uses weigh mode versus

deviation mode. It is fast and simple to set up and displays target weight in
gross or net weight. Target weight setup by either the TARGET key or
entered through the indicator keypad.

Adv375 Advanced checkweighing. This is like Mid375 but adds a Product Look Up
(PLU) database. This allows you to quickly activate target weights and high
and low tolerances for up to 500 products from the PLU database.
Statistical packages like X-bar/R and Standard Deviation are also included
in this application.

Per375 Percent checkweighing allows the operator to accurately increase the

weight of a product by a set percentage of the starting weight.

Grad375 This application categorizes weight within up to 10 bands or weight

windows.

Applications are enabled in a password protected menu. See the Service manual (PN
AWT35-500813 for the English version).

Each application is fully explained below.

3.1 Checkweighing terminology

There are some terms you should understand when checkweighing.

Target The exact weight desired

Target-Hi Target weight plus the Tolerance-Hi

Target-Low Target weight minus the Tolerance-Low

Tolerance-Low Weight allowed under the target weight but still considered
acceptable

Tolerance-Hi Weight allowed over the target weight but still considered
acceptable
