1 Introduction
VT300 is an industrial weight indicator, which connects to either one or two scales
and allows you to:
Zero or tare the scale (see chapter 3)
View an item’s weight (see chapter 4)
Weigh trucks, taring the scale from memory or by weighing twice (see chapter 5)
Count large numbers of items that weigh the same (see chapter 6)
Print weight measurements (see chapter 7)
Save measurements in memory and recall them later (see chapter 8)
Enter vehicle tare values and data into a vehicle file, or V-File (see chapter 9)
Communicate with external devices over a serial connection (see chapter 10)
Define thresholds for two analog setpoints and tilt settings for an analog input
(see chapter 11)
Before starting to operate VT300, make sure it has been connected to the
mains, connected to at least one working scale, calibrated and properly set up.
These operations should only be carried out by an authorized technician. For
information see the VT300 Technical Manual.
1.1 How it Works
A weight indicator is a central component of an industrial weighing system. It
receives weight information from a scale; interprets this information, manipulates it
and displays it; and can then pass it on to peripheral devices, most commonly
printers or personal computers.
