Alibi Memory
The alibi memory contains (stores) weighing results with date and time and process
number. This takes place every time a print event is triggered (e. g. by pressing
2TKPVP). Tare and input values are also saved. The alibi memory can therefore
be used as a replacement for a log printer.
The data memory has a ring buffer. The oldest data records can thus be overwritten
by new ones. The user can define a memory-time dependent overwrite protection
as well as a storage period if desired (default: 90 days, see Section “Configure
Device“). The alibi memory can contain approximately 450,000 data records, the
storage capacity depends on the volume of the individual data records.
The alibi memory is verifiable. When the balance is verified, you must check the
correct function of the alibi memory by saving some values.
If the alibi memory is used in legal metrology (according to Council Directive 90/384/
EEC, replaced by 2009/23/EC , you should observe the following instructions:
– Make sure that there is sufficient storage capacity. Responsibility for this
lies with the operator.
– The weighing results should be stored together with a unique ID code (e. g.
number or date and time). This makes it possible for every weighing operation
or weighing result to be assigned and verified if necessary without any prob-
lem. These ID codes must be indicated on any receipts generated on peripheral
devices.
– When data are output, all the required tare and net values will be saved.
– It must be possible for the contractual partners involved to be able to check
and verify the stored weighing results.
– Any continuously indicated weighing results that are not previously stored and
have no identification codes may only be used in applications that are not for
use in legal metrology (e.g. batching, controlling or the like). It is not permissi-
ble to circulate any results lacking identification codes for applications used in
legal metrology!
– Receipts can be prepared by a peripheral device not subject to legal verification
according to the preamble to Annex I of Directive 90/384/EEC (2009/23/EC)
and Section 7b (3) 2 of the German Verification Act.
These receipts must contain the following information:
– An ID for every weighing result;
– when used in Germany, an additional indication that the weighing results
may be compared with the weighing results legally stored on basis of the
identification.
You must first install and activate the alibi memory in order to use it (see Device
Parameters/Configuring the Alibi Memory).
