3.8.2 Start Batch
3.8.2.1 Activation Method
The batch begins with the selected activation method. The method is determined by the parameters in the
setup mode. The deactivation of the setpoints is automatic. The desired target may be based on net or
quantity (if counting is enabled).
Activation types
• Tare key – Press the
# key to start the process. A tare weight will be set and the weight will switch
to net zero.
• Remote key – Press the remote key switch.
• Auto-start – The process is automatically activated. It waits for a no-motion condition and then adds
the target to the current displayed weight to achieve a relative cutoff value.

With a system set up a system to make a 50,000 lb batch with water (30,000 lbs.), corn syrup (15,000 lbs.)
and caramel color (5,000 lbs.), ingredient 1 should start with
1 and subsequent ingredients should auto-
start.

corn syrup is added to
current displayed weight
Start corn syrup when water is done and motion has
stopped.
Target 3 = 5,000 Desired caramel coloring weight.
