1.
If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container off by
pressing the TARE key.
NOTE:
The TARE key is inoperative when in sampling mode.
2.
Press the UNITS key until “5 0” is indicated on the display. If the screen does not show “5 0”,
press the ZERO key once. The indicator is prompting you to place five identical items on the
platform.
NOTE:
If you wish to change the sample number, simply press the UNITS key repeatedly until
the desired sample number appears. Available choices are 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. If you continue
to push the UNITS key, the indicator will resort back to weighing mode and you must start again
from Step 2.
3.
Place the sample items on the platform all at once and allow the weight indication to stabilize.
Once this is done, the zero indicated after the sample number will change to a “–“. For example,
“5 –“.
4.
Press the NET/GROSS key to take the sample. If the sample size is large enough, the indicator
now displays the number of pieces on the platform and the “PCS” annunciator is lit. If not, the
indicator briefly displays “Lo” and automatically increments the sample size. Repeat Step #4 with
the new sample size.
NOTE:
If the indicator continues to display “Lo” even after sampling 100 pieces, the unit weight
of the items you wish to count is too light for your scale to process accurately.
5.
To exit the piece count mode, press the UNITS key.
NOTE:
The APW will NOT remain in scale memory when you exit piece counting mode.
PEAK HOLD MODE
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The peak hold function cannot be used in commercial (NTEP) applications.
To activate this mode, set F30 to 5. This mode is used to indicate and hold the peak weight recorded
during a specific process. The most common application is testing the breaking point of a part or
assembly.
1.
Push the UNITS key to active peak hold mode; the display briefly shows “HOLD”. If the display
does not show 0, then press the ZERO key.
2.
Apply force to the piece – the display indicates and holds the peak force applied.
3.
To reset the peak value to zero, press the ZERO key.
4.
To exit peak hold mode, press the UNITS key again; the display briefly shows “-HOLD”.
REMOTE DISPLAY MODE
To activate this mode, set F30 to 2. This mode is used to emulate a remote display for a separate
indicator. For it to work properly, a remote indicator must be transmitting information to the TI-500
Plus continuously and at the same transmission (baud) rate configured in A1.
LEGAL FOR TRADE SEALING
Indicators can be sealed for commercial (Legal for Trade) applications as follows.
1.
Power off the indicator.
2.
On the back of the indicator, locate the setup/calibration switch cover.
3.
Thread a wire security seal through both drilled head screws securing the calibration switch cover
as well as the single drilled head screw holding on the rear panel.
