8.2 Counting application supervisor menu
8.2.1 Count menu item
With the Count application active, access the Supervisor menu using password 1793.
Refer to
Accessing the menus on page 29
for instructions. Use the navigation keys to
display the item you want to set. Each are described on the following pages.
S ModE
Choose the type of sampling you want to use; bulk or dribble.
Bulk sampling is an automated sampling method. You place all the items
to be sampled on the scale at the same time and the scale will
automatically calculate and display the count.
Dribble sampling requires one more step than bulk sampling You can
count the items to be sampled onto the scale and then press the
SAMPLE
key to begin the piece weight calculation. This can be handy if the items
are more easily counted onto the scale one at a time versus all at once.
AccY
This stands for Accuracy. Choose the minimum desired sample accuracy.
Reducing sample accuracy allows the scale to function in more disruptive
environments. Choices: Off, 95%, 98%, 99% or 99.5%.
For the end user, choosing a higher accuracy may cause the scale to time-
out in a disruptive environment or possibly slower display of the count.
Increase the sample weight to more then the minimum to maintain
accuracy at lower accuracy settings in less stable environments.
Min.SAmP
If you want to count very small parts and the environment is such that the
scale is unable to get a sample weight that meets your accuracy
requirement, you can turn this requirement off. This will allow the ZK830 to
successfully get a sample weight. This may be done at the expense of your
requested accuracy.
If enabled you must have a sample size of 0.01% of capacity in dribble
mode or 0.02% of capacity for bulk mode. Choices:
on
,
oFF
.
SPL LoW
Stands for Sample Low. Use this to choose the minimum allowable sample
size when you press the
SAMPLE
key. Choices:
1
,
2
,
5
,
10
,
25
,
50
,
100
.
Example: If you pick 5, Add 5 is displayed as the minimum sample size
when you begin the sampling process.
P round
This stands for Piece Weight Rounding. This forces a rounding of the piece
weight obtained using the percentage factors listed below in the choices.
This can make counts more repeatable and predictable.
Choices:
oFF
,
0.1
,
0.2
,
0.5
,
1
,
2
, or
5
. The higher the percentage picked,
the more the piece weight is rounded and the more repeatable and
predictable the counts. This may also mean less accurate counts.
LAtcH
If enabled the count must change by a selected amount before the display
changes. Choices:
oFF
,
1
,
2
,
5
,
10
,
25
,
50
,
100
.
If there is motion the latch will disengage.
