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 .
