Figure 2-1. Front Panel

The following sections describe the front panel key operation of the belt scale integrator.

Zero

This parameter initiates the front panel zero mechanism. Periodic use of the zero parameter is required due to
conveyor use and weather conditions.

Print

This will print the custom ticket if the print port is configured.

Reset Totalizer

Often during this operation of a belt scale, the totalizer will need to be reset. This is known as the reset totalizer.
Press the

Reset Totalizer

softkey to access this parameter. The integrator will prompt the user, “

Clear Totalizer

?” The

operator will press

Yes

to clear the totalizer, or

to leave the accumulated weight in the totalizer.

Diagnostics

This softkey displays the current mV input, PPS (pulses per second from the speed sensor), current analog output
(if installed), current A/D counts, and the master total. This is just informational data that the operator or a
technician can use from troubleshooting purposes.

Supervisor Mode

Use this softkey to enter the Supervisor Mode. If there is no passcode configured the integrator will enter into the
Setup Mode. If a passcode is configured, the operator will need to enter the passcode before the integrator will
switch to the Supervisor Mode. To configure a passcode, see the Supervisor’s Parameters.
