Software V1-15 to 1-20
CURRENT SET POINT (CURNT SP)
This menu defines which Set Point is currently being programmed. Enter from 1 to 32.
SET POINT ON/OFF
Enables and disables the current Set Point (stored in the CellScale).
LATCHING
Enables and disables the latching feature. If Latching is enabled, once the Set Point is on, it stays on. Latching is
cleared with Power Off (CellScale) or by programming a Fkey for “CLR LATCH”.
DELAY
Allows up to a 10 second delay before the Set Point triggers. Enter delay in milliseconds (1000ms = 1s). The
delay is used to avoid spurious Set Point outputs. Should the value fall out of the Set Point on condition before
the delay period, the Set Point will not trip.
OPERATOR RELATIONSHIP (OP RELAT)
When using two Set Point values, this menu defines the relationship between the two values. The “OR” choice
will cause the Set Point to turn on when the condition for either value has been met. The “AND” choice
requires that both conditions are met. The “NONE” choice prevents the second value from being used, only
the condition for value 1 must be true.
OPERATOR 1, and OPERATOR 2 (OPER 1, OPER 2)
The operator establishes the compare criteria for each value. Operator 1 sets compare for Value 1 and
Operator 2 sets compare for Value 2. Choices are: greater than (GRTRTHAN), greater than or equals (GT
OR EQ), less than (LESSTHAN), less than or equals (LT OR EQ), and none (NONE). Selecting “none” is
another way to disable the Set Point.
INPUT SOURCE (INP SRC)
The input source defines which conversion or math channel the Set Point is operating on. Enter 1 to 32
which corresponds to the Channel List programmed in the CellScale. Single scale CellScale systems
will usually use only input source 1. The only way to know which scale channel is programmed to what
channel list location is to have a printout of the CellScale Channel List. See the CellScale manual for more
information on the Channel List.
OUTPUT DESTINATION (OUT DEST)
The output destination defines the Set Point output at the CellScale end. It has no effect on the 3750CS. Enter
1 to 32 which corresponds to the Set Point Output List programmed in the CellScale. The only way to know
which each output list entry is programmed to is to have a printout of the CellScale Set Point Output List. See
the CellScale manual for more information on the Output List.
TRIGGER TYPE 1 and TRIGGER TYPE 2 (TRIGTYP1 & TRIGTYP2)
The trigger type designates what kind of data the Set Point uses for its compare. There are four choices: 1) GROSS
– the Set Point responds to Gross weight, regardless of being in Net weight. Use this mode for overload warnings.
2) NETGROSS – the Set Point compares to the Net weight if a Tare value is established, else it compares to the
Gross weight. 3) TOTAL – the Set Point responds to Total weight of the current ID. 4) n TOTALS – the Set Point
responds to the number of total weights taken. Use as a box counter, or weighments counter.
DEADZONE, PRE ACT and POST ACT
Program value modifiers. These parameters are optional. See discussion of Dead Zone, Pre act and Post
act on page 70.
VALUE 1
Program Value 1 in current units. This is the main Set Point Threshold. This value shouldn’t exceed capacity
unless you are programming a Math channel, Total, or n Total Set Point.
VALUE 2
Program Value 2 in current units. This is the secondary Set Point Threshold. Programming a value in Value
2 is not necessary for single threshold Set Points. This value shouldn’t exceed capacity unless you are
programming a Total or n Total Set Point.
