Remote Tare<br />
The remote tare feature allows you to tare or<br />
‘zero’ a vessel. Remote tare is useful when<br />
you want to monitor how much material is<br />
added to or removed from the vessel from a<br />
given point. The effect is as follows:<br />
• If the <strong>STX</strong> current output is in Net Mode,<br />
the current output will correspond to the<br />
change in weight since the last time the<br />
vessel was tared, rather than to the total<br />
weight in the vessel.<br />
• (if <strong>STX</strong> installed in or serially communicating<br />
with MVS) If the MVS-<strong>STX</strong> display<br />
is set to Net (by pressing the Net/Gross<br />
Key), the display will correspond to the<br />
change in weight since the last time the<br />
vessel was tared, rather than to the total<br />
weight in the vessel. If setpoints <strong>and</strong>/or<br />
current outputs are set up based on net<br />
weight, their activation will correspond to<br />
the change in weight since the last time<br />
the vessel was tared.<br />
• (if <strong>STX</strong> serially communicating with PC,<br />
ROPE, etc.) Any serial communications<br />
related to the Net weight will correspond<br />
to the change in weight since the last<br />
time the vessel was tared.<br />
Refer to the referenced drawings in<br />
Appendix H. To activate the remote tare:<br />
• St<strong>and</strong>-Alone (TI-SP.<strong>STX</strong>-02): Short IN<br />
<strong>and</strong> +5V on TB1 on the <strong>STX</strong> PCB<br />
together for 1 second with a dry contact.<br />
• St<strong>and</strong>ard 19” Rack (TI-SP.<strong>STX</strong>-03) or<br />
MVS-<strong>STX</strong> (TI-MVS.<strong>STX</strong>-01): Short<br />
Digital In <strong>and</strong> +Vout on TB2 on the<br />
Termination PCB together for 1 second<br />
with a dry contact.<br />
