Appendix A - Front Panel Parts Counting
Access to the counting function via the front panel is not available if bi-directional
RS-232 communication is enabled, i.e. if the front panel local control is off, which
is the default. Turning local control on in order to use the parts counting feature
will disable communication with the Vapor Pro. Refer to
RS-232 Front Panel
Configuration
on page 12 for more information on setting local control on or off.
Procedure
Display Reading
Press the FUNCTION switch.
Display cycles repeatedly through PCS, HI-OK-LO,
CAL1, and CAL2.
Press the MODE switch while PCS
appears on the display.
PCS and 0 flash. This is a prompt to zero the
balance with the container you will be using to weigh
the initial sample.
Place the container on the pan, wait
10 seconds, then press the ZERO
switch.
PCS and 10 flash. This is a prompt to place 10
pieces in the container and press zero.
Place 10 pieces in the container,
wait 10 seconds, then press the
ZERO switch.
PCS continues to flash and OK appears on the
display while a stable weight is obtained. Then
10.000, or something very close to it appears on the
display. The number of decimal places depends on
the weight. PCS continues to flash. This prompts
you that you may now increase the size of the
sample if you wish. The decimal places are an aid.
When adding more samples, if the decimal part
approaches .5 you cannot be sure of the exact count.
If you need a larger sample, add
pieces (the balance will count them)
until the decimal part is near 0.7 or
0.3. Then press the ZERO switch.
The balance will round to the nearest whole number
but still show the decimal places. This step may be
repeated as many times as you wish.
When you are satisfied the sample is
large enough, press the ZERO
switch once again.
The balance rounds to the nearest whole number,
the decimal places disappear, and PCS lights
steadily.
When you wish to count something
else, press the MODE switch.
You are now back at step 2 with a flashing PCS and
0.
If you want to exit the counting
mode, press the MODE switch
again.
You are now in the weighing mode you used just
before selecting pieces.
