Operating the Scale: FCA
Preparation
To calculate a piece count, the average weight of one piece must be known.
This average piece weight can be entered into the Counting program in one of
three ways:
– Enter the average piece weight using the numeric keys and store it;
– The last reference sample quantity entered is loaded and displayed when
you turn on the scale. Place the same number of parts on the scale and
initialize the Counting program;
– When the automatic initialization parameter (see previous page) is on
(Setup: Printout: Application-defined output: Auto print upon initialization:
All values), the scale goes into the “Counting” mode when you turn it on and
loads the last average piece weight and corresponding reference sample
quantity that were entered or calculated.
Reference Sample Updating
You can have the average piece weight updated during counting (with
the piece count displayed) if “AWP update” is set to “manual” or “automatic”
in the Setup menu. Manual updating can only be performed when
the
Update soft key is displayed. Reference sample updating must be
completed before using an application program from Application 3.
The Update soft key is displayed when:
– the scale has reached stability (stability symbol displayed)
– the current piece count is less than double the original piece count
– the current piece count is less than 100
– the internally calculated piece count (e.g., 17.24) differs from the nearest
whole number (here: 17) by less than 0.3
Reference updating can be repeated several times with an approximately
doubled piece count.
