7.0 Truck Modes
The truck in/out modes are used to handle multiple
truck ID numbers and weights. Truck IDs can be up to
16 alphanumeric characters in length.
Six truck modes combine stored ID, keyed tare, and
value swapping features in various ways:

MODE1 NO YES YES
MODE2 NO NO YES
MODE3 YES YES YES
MODE4 YES NO YES
MODE5 YES YES NO
MODE6 YES NO NO

Stored IDs let you keep a database of truck IDs and
weigh-in weights in the indicator’s memory. The
indicator can automatically store up to 1000 truck IDs
and tares; or it can clear the information after printing a
weigh-out ticket. For example, if the same truck
seldom crosses the scale, it may not be practical to save
its ID number and weigh-in weight. However, if that
same truck crosses the scale many times each day, it’s
more convenient to store the information in the
indicator memory and recall it when needed. Stored
IDs and weights are available in modes 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Keyed tares allow you to manually enter the tare weight
using the numeric keypad and the TARE key. Keyed
tares are available in modes 1, 3, and 5. To use keyed
tares, an incoming truck must be empty at weigh-in,
full at weigh-out.
Note
Some local regulations require the tare weight
to be read from the scale. If so, don’t use the
keyed tares feature.
Value swapping ensures that the lower of two weight
values associated with a particular ID number is used
as the tare weight. For example, if a truck crosses the
scale fully loaded at weigh-in, then unloads and crosses
t h e s c a l e e m p t y a t w e i g h - o u t , t h e i n d i c a t o r
automatically assigns the lesser (empty truck) weight
as the tare. Value swapping is available in modes 1, 2,
3, and 4.
Note
In the OIML regulatory mode, modes 5 and 6
are not allowed to complete a transaction if the
outbound weight is greater than the inbound
weight. In this case, the indicator will display
an error message "Illegal Weighment",
because a negative net weight cannot be
printed as a legal weight.
