DFC Weighing Procedure (Unload Mode Only):
1. Verify the scale is in Load mode (the Unload annunciator will be
turned off). You can toggle back and forth between Load and
Unload mode by pressing the LOAD/UNLOAD key.
2. With the scale empty, verify the scale is showing 0 units Gross.
If not in Gross mode, press the 0 key then the TARE key to clear
the stored tare weight and the indicator will display Gross weight.
3. Now Load the scale with the material you wish to distribute.
4. Load the memory ID associated with the material you just loaded
onto the scale by repeatedly pressing the RECALL key until the
correct material ID is displayed, then press the ENTER key. The
indicator will set and display the Net weight stored for the
selected memory ID.
5. Press the LOAD/UNLOAD key. The scale will store the Net
weight as the tare weight, switch to Unload mode, and display 0
units Net weight.
6. The scale is now ready to be Unloaded using the DFC. Position
the feeder over the container to be filled and start the fill by press
the F key followed by the ID/START key.
7. If at any time, you wish to pause the fill cycle, press the HOLD
key. The indicator will display PAUSED. To restart/continue the
filling operation, press the HOLD key again to “unpause.” Or to
abort the fill, press the key.
8. Chattering will begin once the chatter weight is reached (fill
weight – trim weight). When chattering, the DFC output will
pulse on and off. The settings for these pulse durations are
described in the Recommended Settings section above.
9. The fill cycle will end once the preset fill weight is removed from
the scale. If DFCEND=YES was selected, the indicator will display
DONE until a key is pressed.
10. If there is enough material remaining on the scale, position the
feeder above your next container to fill and press the F key and
then the ID/START key to start the next fill cycle (if the DONE
message is still displayed, simply press the ID/START key to
start the next fill). If there is not enough material on the scale
when these keys are pressed, the indicator will display
ERROR. Repeat this step for subsequent fill cycles.
