PR/SR balancesApplications – Piece counting
• If you have called up the current piece weight simply for information purposes, you can print it out by
pressing Gor quit the entry without changing it by pressing H or N.
• You can enter any piece weight numerically that is lower than the admissible maximum capacity of the
balance.
• If zero is entered as a piece weight, the reference is cleared.
• Note that the counting accuracy depends on the piece weight and the readability of the balance.
• The piece weight can also be read in using a bar-code reader, e.g. LC-BCR or entered using a keyboard
attached via the LC-RS cable (Optional equipment, section 7.3).
2. Reference optimization
To improve the counting accuracy, the piece weight calculated by the balance can
be calculated more accurately by using a larger piece number with the reference
optimization function "Opt".
➜ Calculate reference as described above, e.g. with Fix 10.
➜ Load additional parts until around double the previous piece number is shown,
e.g. 19.
➜ Press SmartBar under "Opt" (reference optimization).
The balance recalculates the reference weight, now using the larger reference
number.
• If you use the "RefOpt" function and the piece number has been more than doubled or if you have entered
the piece weight numerically, the error message "RefOpt - Err" appears; if no reference has been calculated,
"No reference" appears.
In the first case, first decrease the piece number.
• You can repeat the reference optimization to improve the accuracy still further.
3. Piece counting
➜ Place more parts on the pan, the piece number is displayed.
If you have determined the piece number by removal from a container, the "PreTare"
function (section 4.4) can be used to enter the known tare weight. The number of
pieces remaining in the container is then displayed directly.
4. Switching between piece number and weight
➜ Press SmartBar under the displayed weight unit, the top line changes to the
weight display, the bottom line shows "PCS" for selection.
