Program a General Setpoint
You can program the DC-782 with a setpoint that will be enabled either when no Item Code is called up or when
an Item Code is called up from memory that has no setpoint already associated with it in programming.
1. Press the
MODE
key twice to enter the Programming Mode. The scale display will show
ProG
.
2. SPEC 04, Bits 1 and 0 - Setpoint Type determines what type of setpoint you are programming: 00: %
Quantity, 01: % Weight, 10: Quantity, or 11: Weight. (For instructions on how to program Customer
specifications, see Section 3.2.1.) The setpoints are programmed by entering and storing a value
(Setpoint 1) and then entering and storing a percentage or amount (Setpoint 2). Enter the value for
Setpoint 1 (Ex. 100 pcs) and press the
+ (Plus)
key to save the change and advance to Setpoint 2.
3. Enter a value for Setpoint 2 and press the
+ (Plus)
key to store the value and return to the Programming
Mode Screen
NOTE:
•There are four types of setpoints which can be selected by setting SPEC 04, Bits 1 and 0: % of Quantity (%QTY), % of Weight
(%WT), Over/Under Quantity (QTY), or Over/Under Weight (WT).
• When entering weight setpoints, be sure that you enter in the weight values with decimal point and all leading and trailing zeros.
• All percentage values must be rounded to the nearest whole number, fractional percentages are not allowed.
• Setpoints involving % of quantity or weight are limited by the decimal places available on the display. For example: if Set Point
value 1 specifies a Quantity of 9999999, then a Set Point value 2 of % of Quantity cannot be set for more than 100% because all
7 digits of the display are already in use.
Table 6-4 below shows what to enter in each of the two set point values to program each type of set point. The alarm sounds
with a rhythmic beeping at setpoint one and with a rapid beeping at setpoint two. For the Setpoint Alarm to be activated, SPEC
02: SET POINT ALARM must be set to “0: ON”. See Section 3.2.1 for instructions on how to set Customer specifications.
Here are some examples of how the setpoints can be programmed. These examples can be adjusted to fit your
application.
4. Press the
MODE
key to quit the Programming Mode and return to the Weighing Mode.

Programming a Preset Key
The DC-782 has 10 preset keys that can have items assigned to them so that their tare weight, unit weight and
setpoints can be recalled by simply pressing the preset key.
To program an item code to one of the preset keys:
1. Press the
MODE
key twice to enter the Programming Mode.
2. Enter the Item Code you wish to program to a preset key and press the
#
key to recall the item.
3. Press the preset key you wish to program this item code to (P1 to P10).
4. Press the
MODE
key once to exit the Programming Mode and return to the Weighing Mode.
