Front Panel Controls:
Note:
The annunciators ,
σ
and
are shown in Figure 7, but are not available through any front panel controls.
However, these functions along with all other front panel functions are available through RS-232 commands. These
commands are discussed later in the RS-232 section of the manual.
The ON/OFF (I/O) Button:
The ON/OFF button is located in the upper left corner of the balance’s front panel. When the balance is off, pressing the button
will start the turn on sequence shown in Figure 7. During this sequence the balance is doing an automatic systems checkout to
insure it is functioning properly.
When the balance is on, pressing the ON/OFF button will turn off the display.
Refer to figure 5
The RANGE/FUNCTION Button:
Pressing the RANGE/FUNCTION button begins the following menus cycle:
•
PCS – Front panel parts counting . ZSP400-NP only.
•
HI LO – Checkweighing.
•
CAL1— Span Calibration : Only available when calibration seal is deactivated.
● % - percent weighing . ZSP400-NP only.
To select the desired function, press the MODE/UNITS switch when it appears on the display.
The ZERO Buttons:
There are two (2) ZERO buttons. Pressing either button at any time returns the display to zeros. When a weighing that has been
zeroed out is removed from the weighing pan, a negative reading is displayed. To return the display to zeros, press one of the ZERO
buttons.
Note:
The balance will not zero during a disturbance.
The MODE / UNITS Button:
Pressing the MODE/UNITS button starts the unit of weight cycle as follows:
● For –NP models: grams(g) and milligrams(mg) only.
● For –NJ models:grams(g), carats(ct), pennyweights(dwt), troy ounces(ozt) and ounces(oz)
When the desired unit of weight appears, press the MODE/UNITS button a second time to select that unit of weight.
The SEND Button:
Pressing the SEND button sends the information on the balance’s display to an external device via the RS-232 interface.
Note:
Scientech balances are DTE (computer) devices. If communicating to another DTE device (ie computer),
a Scientech RS-232 cable, PN11897, null modem cable is required. If you are communicating to a DCE device (printer),
a 9 pin to 25 pin serial cable #10170 is required, this can be purchased through Scientech.
You may send the time and date along with the weight reading when you press the SEND button or you may send weight readings
automatically at user specified time periods (see the Bi-directional RS-232 Command Set section for details). Weight readings may
also be sent to a computer or printer continuously every 200 milliseconds (see the RS-232 Front Panel Configuration section for
details). Weight readings may be sent automatically when the balance reaches stability (see Selectable Filters section).
