3 RESOLUTION OF THE WEIGHT

VISUALIZATION
(Default: 1)
Resolution of the weight visualization
setting that is seen on the display.

The division can be set at 1, 2, 5, 10,

20 or 50 Kg.

4 PERCENTAGE ON THE ALARM

INTERVANTION
(Range: 0-50; Default: 15)
Setting of the percentage value of the
acoustic alarm the controls the
weighing. The activation of the pre-
alarm (intermittent acoustic alarm)
corresponds to this value.

This phase is called PREALARM and Suggested value: 15.

the acoustic signal is intermittent. By
setting 15, the intermittent alarm is
activated when the value to be
loaded/unloaded is minus 15%. For
example when programming the
loading/unloading at 100 and the
percentage at 15 the value that is read
is 85 and therefore the intermittent
alarm will start.

5 ALARM DELAY TIME

(Range: 0-60; Default: 7)
Programming of time of the acoustic
alarm at the end of a

The number that is set corresponds to
the alarm time, expressed in seconds,
when the set value is reached.

The maximum programmable alarm

time is 60 seconds.

6 SETTING OF THE FILTER FOR THE

WEIGHT STABILIZATION
(Range: 0-8; Default: 4)
If the weight on the display is
unstable, the parameter has to be

those devices that have the same
address without creating problems of
interference with other devices that
use different addresses.

10 SET MOTION
(Range: 0-999; Default: 250)

11 STABILIZATION TIME
(Default: 0)
With the PLUS and MINUS keys, you
can set the seconds that you have at
your disposition when you load a
component during the execution of the

ENGLISH
recipe.

This function is normally used for

those components that are loaded
with the loader. When the mixer is
loaded with a loader it is difficult to
put in the right amount that is
programmed on the indicator, usually
the quantity is a little less.

A count down on the upper display

advises the operator that he has N
seconds for load the component on
the mixer before the indicator is
passing on to the next component.
The weight will be saved after the
STABILIZATION TIME in order to have
the real weight.

12 READING OF THE RECIPES FROM THE MEMORY CARD

(Default: No)
With the PLUS and MINUS keys set
“Data Trans: Yes” if you want the
recipe to be read directly by the
memory card and subsequently
memorize the executions.

By setting the function NET/GROSS,

the PARTIAL key is used to memorize
a tare, it zeroes the display and
memorizes the weight loaded until that
moment, considering it as a tare.
The TOTAL key is used to visualize
alternately on the display the net and
gross weight that is the result of the
net weight minus the tare previously
memorized.

In this function a tare value is obtained and is memorized therefore can be

visualized until the system is newly zeroed.
Such a function is indicated for fixed application with platforms in order to weigh
fruit and vegetable crates/crates by verifying the net weight and gross weight and
registering a tare without modifying the reference to the zero of the system.

ERROR CODES

List of errors that could be visualized. In order to unblock the indi cator, the operator can
push any button.

Error Code Description

Error 1 Broken button: a button on the keyboard is broken and therefore results in being unusable
Error 2 The data regarding the loading executions has NOT been saved on the Data Transfer
(memory card) but has been saved on the internal memory. Next time the scale is turned
on it will try to memorize them on the card.
Error 3 The data regarding the loading executions has NOT been saved neither on the Data
Transfer nor on the internal memory. There is no way to recuperate the loading executions
therefore the data will be lost.
Error 4 The data regarding the execution of a loading recipe results in being corrupt before being
saved on the Data Transfer. Nothing will be saved on the Data Transfer and therefore the
data will be lost definitively.
Error 5 The data regarding the execution of a loading recipe has NOT been saved on the Data
Transfer because the memory is not sufficient. The data has been in any case saved on
the internal memory. The operator can, when turning on the indicator the next time,
recuperate the data by using a card with sufficient memory.
Error 6 The data re garding the executio n of a loadin g re cipe has NO T be en saved o n the Data
Transfer BUT have been saved on the i nternal memory. Next time the indicato r is turn ed
on it will try to memorize them on the card.

the Data Tra nsfer nor o n the internal memory. The re is no way to recu perate the data
regarding this execution.
Error 8 The data re garding the executio n of an unloadi ng re cipe results i n being corru pt before
being saved on the Dat a Transfer. Nothing will be saved on the Data Transfer and
therefore the data will be lost definitively.
Error 9 The data re garding the executio n of an unloading program has NOT been saved on the
Data T ransfer BUT have been saved on the inte rnal memo ry. Next time the indicator i s

turned on it will try to memorize them on the card.
Error 10 The data reg arding the ex ecution of an unloading program has NOT bee n saved neither
on the Data Tran sfer nor on the intern al memory. There i s no way to recup erate the data
regarding this execution.
Error 11 The data regarding the execution of an unloading program results in being corrupt before
being saved on the Data Transfer. Nothing will be saved on the Data Transfer and
therefore the data will be lost definitively.
Error 12 The data regarding the execution of an unloading program has NOT been saved on the
Data Transfer because the memory is not sufficient. The data has been in any case saved
on the internal memory. The operator can, when turning on the indicator the next time,
recuperate the data by using a card with sufficient memory.
Error 13 The data regarding the execution of a manual weighing has NOT been saved on the Data
Transfer BUT have been saved on the internal memory. Next time the indicator is turned
on it will try to memorize them on the card.
Error 14 The data regarding the execution of a manual weighing has NOT been saved neither on
the Data Transfer nor on the internal memory. There is no way to recuperate the data
regarding this execution.
Error 15 The data regarding the execution of a manual weighing results in being corrupt before
being saved on the Data Transfer. Nothing will be saved on the Data Transfer and
therefore the data will be lost definitively.
Error 16 The data regarding the execution of a manual weighing has NOT been saved on the Data
Transfer because the memory is not sufficient. The data has been in any case saved on
the internal memory. The operator can, when turning on the indicator the next time,
recuperate the data by using a card with sufficient memory.
Error 17 At the turning on of the indicator the recovery of the data regarding an execution saved on
the internal memory has failed
Error 18 The operator tried to carry out “Restore Load” after the turning on and off of the indicator
during a loading execution, but the block presents non valid data. The operator can in any
case go ahead with the interrupted execution but it will not be saved on the card.
Error 19 The operator tried to carry out “Restore Load” after the turning on and off of the indicator
during an unloading execution but the block present non valid data. The operator can in
any case go ahead with the interrupted execution but it will not be saved on the card.
CLOCK During the initialization phase the reading of the clock failed. The clock battery could be
ERROR ! drained. The indicator, a part from the message on the LCD display, will activate the siren.
After substituting the battery the right time has to be set and afterwards turn off and back
on the indicator. Once the indicator has been turned back on the error message will not be
seen.
