SRC: This sets the primary source of readings that the Stability Control mechanism will use to estimate the best lock-in
weight. There are two selections here:
❑
A/D Reading -
This selection makes the Stability Control mechanism take readings unfiltered and straight from the load cell.
This is the fastest and the least complex selection and therefore the default.
❑
Filtered
- This selection is an advanced selection. With this selection, Stability control uses filtered weights based on
parameters set by the Software filter. Selecting this option automatically activates software filter. Make sure the parameters
in Software filter are properly set or the scale will behave erratically. Use this selection only if you know what you are doing.
Window
–
WIND: The Window field operates similarly as explained in the Software Filter section.
S.C. Count
–
CNT: This number indicates the number of stable readings within the window set above to qualify a lock in. Suppose this
number is set to 3, then the Stability Control mechanism will try to read 3 readings consecutively that are within the window above. If
they fall within that window, then the weight will lock in, else, it will reset and start over until it gets 3 stable readings.
Noise Count
–
NCNT: This is the noise count of filtering mechanism. This sets the number of weight values that need to be discarded
before considering that the new weight value is a new value and not part of the current weight value averaging process. The higher
this number, the less accurate the weight value, the faster your performance.
After Stability Control is activated, an
“S”
appears at the bottom left of the screen during normal weight readings. While the scale does
not have a stable reading, the S will appear crossed out. As soon as a weight has been found, it will lock this weight and the S will be
uncrossed. Once the lock has been obtained, the reading will not budge until a weight change greater than the window set has
occurred.
Zero / Motion Detect
This scale can detect if there is motion on the platform. There are four settable options on the setup screen. The first three are for the
Motion Detect setup. The fourth option controls the zero indicator on the main display. To modify them, use the left and right arrow
keys to line up on the appropriate entry in the horizontal menu located at the bottom of the screen, and then press ENTER.
Active
–
ACTV: Activates or deactivates motion detection.
Motion Window
–
MOTN: The Motion field determines the range o
f weight at which you want to define “motion”.
So, if the scale has
been set on a moving truck, and you have determined that the scale always is within a certain weight range when the truck is moving
normally at normal speeds, you would want to set the Motion window at that range. For example,
say you have put a weight on the
scale that would read 20lbs on a stable surface. But on the truck, it reads 18-23lbs. This means that your motion window is 5lbs. So
now you know that you want to detect motion if and only if it is greater than 5lbs, so you can set the Motion window to 5lbs.
Time Interval
–
TIME: This works along with Motion Window to detect a stable reading. The reading must be stable within the motion
window for this length of time (in seconds) in order to be considered a stable reading. As long as the weight remains within specified
motion window within this time, the scale would confirm that there is no motion detected. If the weight jumps out of the motion
window, then the scale would
register as “Motion Detected” and
reset the time interval.
Zero Window
–
ZERO: This controls how close the scale needs to be to the true zero point before lighting the zero indicator (ZR) on the
bottom of the main display. For example, if you set the window to 1lb, then any weight from 0lb to 1lb will register as ZR (meaning
ZERO condition).
After ZERO/MOTION DETECT is activated, the scale needs to be rebooted for this option to take e
ffect. After reboot, a tiny ‘
’
indicator appears at the bottom of the screen.
If the platform is moving, the ‘
’ indicator will show as it is seen here. If the platform is
within the bounds of ‘No Motion’ as set here, then the ‘
⚫
’
indicator will be crossed out.
