Totalizing Setup
This section covers configuring a scale set for either self-totalizing or connection to a PC/PDA
for advanced display features. For accumulating multiple weights on a scale or scale set, see
the “Using Accumulated Total” section. In ‘self-totalizing’ mode, the LOCAL/TOTAL button
works to switch between weight on that particular scale (LOCAL) and the total weight of
connected scales (TOTAL). If the system is not setup correctly, the “error icon” and message
“t0t
t0t t0t t0t “will be displayed when trying to view the total weight.
1. To enter into totalizing setup: Simultaneously press the LOCAL/TOTAL and ZERO buttons.
2. Message “SCid
SCid SCid SCid” will be displayed. Press PRINT/ACCUMULATE button. A number will be
displayed with 3 dashes following it. This is the scale number (ID). Use the LOCAL/TOTAL
button to increment and the ZERO button decrement the number. When the desired
number is displayed, press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE.
3. Message “SCLS SCLS SCLS SCLS” will be displayed. Press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE button. The display
will show three dashes and then a number. This number is the total number of scales in
the system. Use the LOCAL/TOTAL button to increment and the ZERO button decrement
the number. When the desired number is displayed, press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE
button. The maximum number of scales is 32.
4. If the scale# is ‘1’, the display will ask if the scale is the “HOSt
HOSt HOSt HOSt”. Press the
PRINT/ACCUMULATE button. Use the LOCAL/TOTAL or the ZERO button to toggle the
display “Yes
Yes Yes Yes” or “no no no no”. A ‘Host’ controls the scale network, and this setting should be set to
“yes” if the scale network consists of scales only. If your system uses an external device
such as a PDA or PC to view the weights, this setting should be set to “no” since the
external host controls the network. Press the PRINT/ACCUMULATE button to save the
setting.
Example 1 of correct scale settings: 4 pad system with PDA or PC:
