FUNCTIONING
When the indicator is turned on it waits for the data; if it does not receive a correct communication string, the
communication parameters are wrong, or it does not receive any character, it remains in the test condition, in other words,
with all the central segments of the display turned on.
When the serial string of the connected instrument is identified, the indicator repeats the data of the display or the weight
string of the instrument to which it is connected.
CAREFUL:
- The keys pressed in the REPEATER are not repeated on the TRANSMITTER and vice versa.
- The indicator acts as a simple weight repeater: only the C – ON/OFF key is enabled for turning on/off.
Example of Dini Argeo REPEATER/TRASMITTER configuration:
(*) all functions (except “MAStr”)
11.11 DISPLAY WITH SENSITIVITY X 10 (ViSS) (TO BE USED IN TESTING DURING
THE CALIBRATION)
By pressing the MODE key one switches from the weight display with normal sensitivity to a sensitivity ten times greater; in
fact, one will note that the last digit on the right of the display will have a sensitivity equal to the scale’s division divided by
10.
The printout can only be done when the indicator has the standard sensitivity.
TAKE NOTE: In case the instrument is LEGAL FOR TRADE, when “MODE” is pressed, the sensitivity times 10 is displayed
for five seconds after which the instrument returns to standard weight displaying. Furthermore, if the direct sales has been
configured in the SEtuP >> d.SALE parameter, TECH.MAN.REF., this displaying is possible only with if the capacity is
equal or less than 100 kg (220 lb).
11.12 HOLD: FREEZING THE WEIGHT ON THE DISPLAY (hLd)
By pressing MODE, the value of the weight is held on the display, and the display shows “hoLd” alternately with the held
weight value (every 5 sec). To release the weight value on the display, press MODE key again (the “norMAL” message is
displayed).
By pressing MODE at length it is possible to enter in a menu for the selection of the type of functioning:
“StAtiC” (static functioning, previously described), “hoLd 0”…“hoLd 5” (dynamic functioning, for weighing of moving objects,
for example animal weighing; the higher the numeric parameter, greater is the intervention of the HOLD function).
Press ZERO or TARE key to change the parameter and ENTER/PRINT to confirm. Then press MODE to enable the
selected functioning; by pressing again the MODE key the function is disabled.
11.13 WEIGHT PEAKS DETECTION (PEAk)
It is possible to use the instrument to store the maximum weight value measured during the weigh (PEAK), useful to
measure, for example, the breaking load of the materials.
By pressing the MODE key, the peak mode is enabled; on the LED display the maximum weight reached will be displayed,
alternated with the message PEAk every 5 sec.
The test terminates by pressing the MODE key again or when the weight peak surpasses the maximum capacity of the
instrument (for an instant PEAk.oF is displayed and the indicator returns to standard operation)
SETTING SAMPLING TIME
It is possible to set the minimum time period of the peak impulse beyond which the measuring is accepted. This time is set
by keeping “ENTER/PRINT” pressed for a few seconds when the indicator is not in the peak mode: the message -tP-
appears on the display followed by a number which corresponds to the minimum time length of the impulse expressed in
hundredths of seconds.
By pressing “ZERO” or “TARE” the following settable values are proposed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 127; press
“ENTER/PRINT” to confirm the desired value, (the indicator will return to weighing). The default value is 2.
