Note: This operating mode mimics the standard modes of other manufacturer’s scales. The
ability to display the true “Gross” weight value allows the operator to verify the remaining
value displayed; overfilled cylinders can be detected.
!! CAUTION !!
IN MODES 2 & 5, THE DISPLAYED “REMAINING” VALUE CAN BE EASILY CHANGED TO GIVE AN ERRONEOUS
READING. BEFORE REMOVING THE VALVE FROM AN ”EMPTY” CYLINDER OR OPENING THE VALVE ON A FULL
CYLINDER, ALWAYS VERIFY REMAINING VALUE WITH THE GROSS WEIGHT.
REMAINING_WEIGHT = GROSS_WEIGHT - CYLINDER_WEIGHT - VALVE_WEIGHT.
GROSS WEIGHT HIDDEN PUSHBUTTON FUNCTION
Scale gross weight recalibration/restart:
All modes have a hidden gross calibration screen.
When a cylinder or tank is on the scale (above the weight threshold in modes 2-5, see
parameters P116, P216, etc.), press and hold PB3 until the “GR” starts to flash. At this time,
the user may now use the UP and DOWN pushbuttons to adjust the gross scale calibration.
When satisfied that the weight is correct, press the ENT pushbutton to save the new gross
weight value.
EXTENDED MAIN SCREEN DISPLAYS (rate, daily use, totalizer and time until empty)
RATE
The rate is the change in weight per unit time, which is selectable
by parameter P900.
DAILY
The daily usage displayed is the last 24-hours of product use.
This screen as well as the daily log screens are enabled by
parameter P920.
TTL
The totalizer display is the amount of product that is removed
from the scale. The totalizer can be reset by pressing the RST pushbutton. The totalizer
value is retained when the EI-4000 is not powered for, at least, seven days.
EMPTY
The time until empty display displays the time until the scale is
empty.
HR: “dd hh:mm” format (days, hours and minutes)
DAYS: Displays a days until empty value in days to the
hundredths resolution (e.g., 1.50 is 1-day & 12-hours).
