Parameter Setup (Advanced)
The Model 500 Series of Weighing and Counting
Instruments contain many advanced features which can
add a great deal of flexibility and capability over and
above the functionality of a basic setup. This section
will describe these advanced features, how they are set
up, and how they operate. Understanding the
functionalty of these advanced features will permit you
to customize the 574 for most weighing and counting
applications.
4.1 Getting Into the Parameter Setup
Mode
Before starting to program the advanced features of the
574 to suit your application, let's review the procedures
for getting into the setup mode, and how to program
parameters. Some of these steps were previously
covered in Chapter 3 Basic Weighing Parameter Setup.
1. To access the Setup Mode, press the parameter
number you wish to view or change then press
<SELECT>. For example:
<1> <1> <8> <SELECT>
2. The system uses the large display to tell you that
you're entering the Setup Mode and the smaller
display to prompt you to enter the programming
code.
If you are simply going to review
the setup, press
<ENTER> and the system will briefly display that no
modification ( -No- Mods!) can be made to the
instrument setup before proceding to the desired
parameter.
If you want to make changes
to the setup, press
<2> <3> <6> <4> <0> <ID> <ENTER>
and the 574 will briefly inform you that modifications
are permitted and will then display the desired setup
parameter. By entering the password "23640" the 574
will permit the operator to make parameter changes.
If changes are made to any parameters, they may be
cancelled during the exit process. If no keys are pressed
after you press <SELECT>, the 574 will automatically
return to the Weigh Mode.
4.2 Using the Parameter Setup Mode
Once you have entered the Setup Mode the following
general rules apply. Press <SELECT> to move from
parameter to parameter. To move directly to a specific
parameter, enter its number and press <SELECT>. To
back up one parameter, press <.><SELECT>.
If modifications are allowed, press <ENTER> to review
the sub-set of available choices for each parameter
selected.
You can make a specific parameter sub-set selection by
entering its number and pressing <ENTER>.
For prompted questions, respond by pressing
<ENTER> for "yes" and <CLR> for "no".
If you only want to review a parameter when first
entering the Setup Mode, but later decide to make
changes, press <1> <0> <0> <SELECT> and enter the
program code as described above. You will then be
returned to the parameter you were reviewing, and be
able to make changes.
While in the Setup Mode, the first digit of the large
numeric portion of the display is always a P. The
subsequent 3, 4 or 5 digits up to the decimal point
indicate the currently selected parameter number. The
current selection for the current parameter is indicated in
the digits to the right of the decimal point. If the current
selection is too large to fit in the available space, then
triple dashes are shown in each digit after the decimal
point, for example: "P114.==" If the parameter is
strictly a key-in type, then a single dash is shown in each
digit to the right of the decimal point.
The top line of the dot matrix display area shows the
parameter name or use. The bottom line describes the
current selection for the parameter.
4.3 Exiting the Parameter Setup Mode
At any point within Setup Mode, you can press
<ZERO> to return to the Weigh Mode.
If you initially keyed in the security code to allow
changes, you will be asked if you want to perform a
calibration. Press <ENTER> to perform a calibration.
SECTION - 4.3
NOTE:
You can enter the number of any other parameter
you wish to view or change. However the indicator
will prompt you with the message "Key In Code" so
that you can key in a different parameter number.
