IQ plus® 800/810 - Rice Lake Weighing Systems

lower weight is always printed as the tareweight.5.3.2 Single-Transaction Tare Weights and IDsVersion 3.1 supports temporary tare weights forindicators configured to use stored IDs (TARE200modes 3–6). This function allows one-time weighingof trucks without adding the truck ID and tare weightto the indicator database.To use this function, follow the procedure describedabove for modes 3–6, but insert a decimal point in theID number. When the transaction is complete, thetruck ID and tare weight are erased from the indicatordatabase.5.3.3 Multiple ScalesIf you use more than one scale with the truck in/outmodes, the indicator can print tickets indicating eitheran individual scale’s total or a combined total for allscales.For an individual scale total, press SCALE # to selectthe scale before printing a ticket. If more than onescale exists, the scale number also appears on theticket.For a combined total of all scales, press SCALE # toselect all active scales before printing a ticket. SCALETOTAL prints on the ticket after the ID number.If you are using only a single scale setup on channel 1,either no scale number or SCALE # 1 will appear onthe ticket.5.4 Individual Scale SetupThe IQ plus 810 offers up to four scale inputs with theflexibility to define different graduation sizes for allthe individual scales. Many of the parameters definingthe functionality of the channel can be definedindividually for each channel.Under the CONFIG menu, the following parametersare available to allow independent settings for eachscale: grads, zero band, zero range, motion band,overload, and digital filter. Under the FORMAT menu,display divisions, decimal point location, and unitscan be defined for each separate channel for bothprimary and secondary units. By setting theseparameters independently, you can configure differentgraduation sizes for each channel and the total.NOTE: If you intend to use different grad sizes for theindividual channels, the total channel could bemeaningless. For example, if scale #1 counts by 50 lband scale #2 counts by 1/10 lb, you probably will notwant to view the total. The TOTAL parameter on theSET ALG menu allows you to disable the totalchannel.5.5 Using the TOTAL ChannelThe TOTAL parameter allows the indicator to use, ornot use, the summing capability for multiple-channelsetups.OFF The total channel is disabled and cannotbe viewed on the indicator. This is the default value,regardless of the number of channels available.ENABLE The total channel is enabled and can beviewed on the indicator.TONLY The total channel is the only channel thatcan be viewed on the indicator.The TONLY setting is useful for customers who areonly interested in the sum of several scales, a truckscale for example. The OFF setting is for the user whodoes not want to view the TOTAL.Suppose you want to set up the individual channelswith different grad sizes and the total channel hasbeen enabled. The total channel is calculated byrounding the individual channels using the totalchannel grad size and summing the results. In thisinstance the total channel will not equal the sum of theindividual channels as they are displayed. The numberof grads on the total channel is equal to the sum of thefull capacities of the individual scales divided by thegraduation size on the total channel.If the scales have the following settings:SCALE#1:GRADS=2000DEC PNT=8888880DSP DIV=5COUNT BY 50SCALE#2:GRADS=10000DEC PNT=888888.8DSP DIV=1COUNT BY .1TOTAL:GRADS=11000DEC PNT=8888888DSP DIV=5COUNT BY 1The number of grads for the total channel is calculatedas follows:((GRADS#1 x COUNTBY#1) +(GRADS#2 x COUNTBY#2) / COUNTBY_TOTAL)Which is:((2000 x 50) + (10000 x .1))/1 = 11000NOTE: The number of grads for the total channel isnot user-selectable.Operating Modes 43
