To alter the zero trim press Enter when the ZERO TRIM function block is displayed. Do
not press enter until you are ready to zero trim. Zero Trim can also be selected for direct
access in Function keys (F1-4) or Digital inputs (D1-6)
Zero Trim (or Backbalance) is the way the 6004MF automatically deducts the empty bin
weight (or weighbridge deck weight or beltweigher dead-weight) from the total loadcell
measurement to leave a pure gross weight. In most systems Zero Trim is carried out during
initial commissioning and at annual or bi-annual routine service intervals, but, in some cases
where the bin weight can change due to regular, permanent material buildup, such as paint
weighbins, Zero Trim may have to be carried out more often. The standard averaging time
for the Zero Trim to take place is 20 seconds.
In the BELTWEIGHER application, you can go into the service menu -Beltweigher Settings-
and set a belt length and number of revolutions for the Zero Trim to take place. ...or....
If the belt length is set to 000.0 you can key in a Zero Trim Time 0000 to 9999 seconds.
....or....
Set the Zero Trim Time to 0000 press Enter and go back to the -Zero Trim- menu, press
Enter to start the zero trim and press Enter when you want the zero trim to end. During this
procedure the main display will show a minus sign and the number of seconds that the zero
trim is taking place. This value in seconds will now be stored and displayed on the Zero Trim
Time in the Beltweigher Settings menu.
Belt Zero can also be selected in the Function Keys or Digital Inputs menus for direct access
to the operator without going via the service menu. The Zero Trim Time will be as above. In
this mode you can still press Enter to stop the zero trim early and give an average at that
point (Pressing ENTER early during trimming may not give a good zero value.) Pressing
CLEAR during Zero Trim stops the zero trimming and does not calculate the zero trim
average.
When enter is pressed for zero trim the auxiliary LCD display shows a time bar. Do not
move the system or add on extra weight whilst this zero trimming is taking place. At
completion of the time bar the main display should show 000000, the Zero Trim menu will
close and move on to the next block, in this case SPAN TRIM.
