PIECE COUNTING SCALES INTRODUCTION Contech CT series PIECE COUNTING SCALES use high precision strain gauges to measure precisely the weight of an object to compute number of pieces. Features: ** HIGH INTERNAL RESOLUTION 1/600000 ** CAN STORE UNIT WEIGHT FOR 500 ITEMS.
Page 2
INSTALLATION 1 Unpacking: Unpack the scale. Save the packing container for future use. 2 Electrical requirements: The scale requires very stable power. It works on 230V AC supply with PROPER EARTHING. The power outlet used for the scale should not be shared with any other devices which draws current in inconsistent manner like Airconditioner or refrigerator etc.

Press SETTING UNIT WEIGHT THROUGH KEYBOARD Unit weight can be either set through the keyboard or scale calculates it with known number of samples. For Unit weight entry, Press , Scale displays Unit wt display indicates the current unit weight and pieces display indicates the memory no. Use numeric keys to enter new unit weight.
Page 5
Press key. Scale displays Enter no of samples on the pan using numeric key pad. Press key. Scale calculates the Unit Weight and displays on the Unit Wt. Display. AUTOMATIC COUNT CALIBRATION MODE. (ACCM) Scale is equipped with a facility to calculate unit weight by averaging over large number of samples without actually counting large quantities manually.

Press key again. Scale displays Now scale is in automatic count calibration mode. Enter no of samples on the pan using numeric key pad. Press key. Scale calculates the Unit Weight and displays on the Unit Wt. Display. When scale is in ACCM mode, the piece nos display will be blinking. Add more sample to the existing no to make number of pieces double the original quantity.
Press key to quit ACCM mode. HOLD FUNCTION Weighing and counting can be held temporarily by using HOLD function. Keep the key pressed for more than 3 sec. Scale will display Press key to quit this mode. GROSS/NET FUNCTION Press key to switch between GROSS and NET weight function.

When key is pressed. Scale returns to NET weight mode and container/tare weight will be made zero , TARE/CONTAINER WEIGHT ENTRY Tare or container weight can be entered directly, if, it is known to the user. Keep a container with samples on the pan of the scale. It displays say, Press key.
Page 9
Press key to store Tare weight. Scale enters NET weight mode, subtracts Container weight from the total weight and displays. MEMORY FUNCTION ( M+ and MR) No. of Pieces counted can be added to its respective memory and can be retrieved if required. For Press key.

Press key to clear all the memory. Press key to quit. CHECK COUNTING. Scales can be used in check counting application, where user can set limits ( 1 or 2) for counting. Once the set limit is reached, scale gives audio indication. 1 or 2 limits can be set based on the requirement.
Page 13
Press to turn this function ON or to turn this functon OFF. If the LIMIT function is ON, Scale displays It displays in Unit Wt. Display position, if SINGLE LIMIT is selected. or displays in Unit Wt. Display position, if 2 LIMITS are selected. Press to select 2 LIMITS or to select 1 LIMIT.

FOR CHANGING DATE,TIME AND SERIAL NO. Press key, the Scale displays And displays to go through the 4 options for Date entry for Time entry for Serial no. entry for machine id entry Select Option by pressing key. Press to make it 0 or use keys to change and press key to store the selected parameters.
Press to save. PRINT OPTION Counting scales can be attached to a serial printer for your printing needs. Print out can be programmed to suit most of the printing requirements. Printer must have a serial port and baud rate of the balance and printer should be same. Set baud rate 2400 or 4800. Press key to print weight through the serial port.
