To turn on the instrument press ON. To turn it off press OFF for about 3 seconds: when
appears release the key.
After a blackout the instrument DOES NOT come on again automatically, you have to press ON.
To guarantee an automatic restart after a blackout, disable the ON key (see section

BLACKOUT).
Upon switch-on, the display shows in sequence:
-
→
(ONLY in case of approved program);
-
instrument model (e.g.:
);
-
followed by the software code (e.g.:
);
-
program type:
(base);
-
followed by the software version (e.g.:
);
-
followed by the hardware code (e.g.:
);
-
serial number (e.g.:
);
Check that the display shows the weight and that when loading the load cells there is an increase in
weight. If there is not check and verify the connections and correct positioning of the load cells.
-
If the instrument has already been theoretical CALIBRATED
(plant system identification tag
present on the instrument and on the cover: load cell’s rated data already entered):
▫
Reset to zero (see section
TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING
)
▫
Check the calibration with sample weights and correct the indicated weight if necessary (see
section
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)
).
-
If the instrument HAS NOT BEEN CALIBRATED
(missing plant system identification tag)
proceed with calibration:
▫
If load cells data are unknown, follow the procedure in section
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH
SAMPLE WEIGHTS)
▫
Enter the rated data of load cells following the procedure given in section
THEORETICAL
CALIBRATION
▫
Reset to zero (see section
TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING
)
▫
Check the calibration with sample weights and correct the indicated weight if necessary (see
section
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)
).
-
If you use serial communication, set the related parameters (see section
SERIAL
COMMUNICATION SETTING
).
-
If setpoint are used, set the required weight values and the relevant parameters (see sections
SETPOINT PROGRAMMING
and
OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION
).
-
Set instrument’s clock with current date and time (see section
DATE AND TIME SETTING
)
