4-3 Diagnostics
Scale Diagnostics
The Diagnostics menu allows reading of the A/D scale. This is the analog to digital
conversion that the computer needs to read the level of loading of the load cell.
The standard resolution of the A/D load cell is 4,095 increments over the span of the
load cell.
Checking these A/D readings with known weights will diagnose any problems with the
weighing system, such as non-linearity, damaged load cells, binding, etc.
Auger Diagnostics
The Auger Diagnostics menu allows manual speed adjustment of the auger drive
motor. Simply follow the menu prompts to raise or lower the auger speed.
Setup Menu
The Setup menu allows adjustment of the software program to conform with the
particular configuration of each system as the application requires.
Each system is supplied with an individual configuration sheet to be used with that unit.
Setups are stored in the battery-backed RAM memory, and should not need resetting.
If an OFE feeder is connected to a host computer system, you may need to adjust or
update the unit ID number and communications baud rate before the unit can
communicate. Consult the factory for proper ID and baud rate settings.
