PPC-300 & PPC-300D  Operation Manual

Checkweighing Function

This is an example of how the checkweighing function operates once it has been enabled and setup.  

The setup for this example has a lower limit of 10.00 lb and an upper limit of 10.25 lb.  The scale is set 

to flash when a weight within the acceptable weight range is loaded.

Operation

1.  The scale should display zero.  The 

, stable and center-of-zero 

indicators should be displayed.

2.  If you wish to enter a tare, place the item on the scale platform and 

press the 

 key.  The net weight indicator should be displayed, and 

the center-of-zero indicator should not.

3.  Begin loading the scale with the product to be weighed.  As the 

amount of product increases, so will the weight display and the length 

of the bar chart.

4.  The weight reading will begin to flash, and the bar chart will enter the 

ACCEPT range when the lower limit weight is reached.

5.  The weight reading will continue to flash, and the bar chart will remain 

in the ACCEPT range up to, and including, the upper limit weight.

6.  If the upper limit weight is exceeded, the weight reading will stop 

flashing, and the bar chart will enter the OVER range.  Remove 

enough product to return to an acceptable weight.

7.  When the product weight acceptable, remove the product.  To clear 

an entered tare, remove everything from the scale platform and press 
the 

 key.  Press the 

 and 

 keys to toggle between the check-

weighing function and the normal weighing mode.
