1 PANTHER PLUS Terminal Overview

This manual provides detailed information for operating the PANTHER PLUS

Industrial Scale Terminal, a high performance, basic capability weighing

instrument designed to meet the needs of simple weight indicating and

over/under manual checkweighing. Information on installing, programming, and

servicing the PANTHER PLUS terminal can be found in the PANTHER PLUS

Terminal Technical Manual.

Review all instructions and safety precautions carefully. Installation and service

procedures should be performed only by authorized personnel.

If you encounter problems not covered in this manual, please contact your

authorized METTLER TOLEDO representative.

Operating Modes

and States

To use the PANTHER PLUS terminal's various functions, you should first

understand basic weighing terminology, the differences between gross and net

state, and the terminal's various operating modes.

Gross and Net State

Gross State - A scale is in the gross state when a tare (the weight of a container

holding the product to be weighed) has not been taken. The full weight of the

items on the scale is shown on the display.

Net State - A scale is in the net state

after a tare has been taken. Only the

weight of the items added after the tare will be displayed and the net cursor will

be lit.

Operating Modes

The PANTHER PLUS terminal can be used in three different modes, depending on

the application for which it is being used.

Indicator Mode - In Indicator Mode, the PANTHER PLUS terminal operates as a

normal scale. You may weigh products on the platform in the gross or net state,

and printing is possible. The over/under LEDs are not functional in this mode.

Over/Under Mode - Over/Under Mode is used when checkweighing products. A

product is placed on the scale and compared to a target weight (up to 10 pre-

programmed weights can be stored). The display can be programmed to show

full gross weight or the difference from the target weight. The LEDs for Over,

Under and Accept can be enabled to help operators easily determine if the

product is within a preprogrammed tolerance of the target weight.
