REC 3838 1-3
1.1.4 Features
The AC-4000 Electronics System has the following standard features:
1. Auto Zero and Manual Zero
The electronics automatically compensate for minor buildup on the weightable
by rezeroing the weightable between packages. Manual zero allows the
rezeroing of the weightable at the operator's discretion.
2. Automatic Self-Diagnostics
This feature continually monitors system operation and assures that
everything is operating properly.
3. Digital Filter
During set-up, filter parameters are selected for individual products using the
front panel keyboard. This exclusive feature improves the weighing accuracy
by providing the best filter setting for each product.
4. Password Protection
This feature provides protection against an unauthorized change in set-up
parameters and access to certain data.
5. Permanent Data Storage
An EEPROM retains set-up information and stores accumulated data.
6. 32-Bit Microprocessor
This large memory capacity increases the flexibility of the AC-4000 and allows
it to handle a broader range of applications.
7. Corrosion Resistant Finish
All exposed metal parts on the AC-4000 Electronics System are either
stainless steel or painted mild steel.
8. 20 bit analog to digital converter (A/D) for loadcell signal.
1.2 OPTIONS
Electronics can be remote or local, and numerous options are available to transform the
AC-4000 from a low-cost, basic electronics into a sophisticated tool for monitoring
productivity and packaging line performance. These options include the following:
1.2.1 15 Programmable Product Set-Ups
The set-up parameters for 15 products can be preset into the electronics. The
AC-4000 can then be switched from one product to another in a matter of
seconds.
1.2.2 Communications (COM)
Provides for communication of weight or statistical information from the AC-4000
to a printer, CRT, or host computer.
