Note: The scale will not accumulate and will display the error message “.”
if the current weight is negative, zero, or if the weight is in motion. These
Protections are added to ensure that only valid readings are accumulated into
the total. Also, after a successful accumulation, ALL scales in the system must
return to zero before you accumulate the next weight. If you attempt to
accumulate the next weight before allowing the scale(s) to return to zero, the
error message “.” will be displayed.
The accumulated total weight can be viewed only on the scale you are
accumulating from. After the PRINT/ACCUMULATE button is first pushed; the
display will show “. X” as the system will accumulate the next reading and
send it to print. (X will show the number of accumulations this session) Once a
successful accumulation has occurred, pressing the LOCAL/TOTAL button will
cycle the display to show number of accumulations, current local weight, current
total weight on all scales, and the accumulated total. When the local weight,
current total weight, or accumulated total is displayed, the total icon will be lit up,
flashing, or off. (as shown in the display description).
Note: In print-mode 3 it can accumulate either in local or total weight, but not
when viewing the accumulated total.
To clear the accumulated total weight, press and hold the ZERO button until the
display shows “.“.
Accumulating Procedure:
1. With your system setup correctly, decide which scale you will accumulate from.
This can be any scale, but once you choose, you must only accumulate with that
scale until the weighing is complete. This scale needs to be set to your desired
accumulate mode, 2 or 3 (See “Serial Output Setup”). If you are using a printer,
select the scale directly connected to the printer.
2. With the first group of items stable on the scales, press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE
button. If you are using a printer, a print ticket with all weights will now be printed.
The display will return to the setting that the accumulation was taken from. This
first group’s weight will become the accumulated total, which can be seen on the
display by pressing the LOCAL/TOTAL button as described in the previous section
with the TOTAL icon flashing. Another accumulation can not be made in the
standard mode if the scale is in the Accumulation Print mode. (TOTAL icon
flashing). After accumulation, remove the first group of items from the scale(s).
3. With the next group of items stable on the scale(s), press the
PRINT/ACCUMULATE button. This will add the total weight to the accumulated
total. If you are using a printer, a print ticket with all weights will now be printed.
4. Repeat step 3 as needed. If the accumulated total becomes too large to display,
the “” message and error icon will be displayed.
