12 DC-788 Operation Manual
3.0 Configuration Settings
This section presents the setup and configuration of the DC-788 counting scale to be used specifically by
distributors and service technicians. Configuring these specifications allow you to tailor the DC-788 to your
specific applications.
Setting the specifications allows you to modify the functionality of the DC-788. Use the tables in this section to
view the options you can modify.
3.1 Configuring Specification 141 and 142 Settings from the Scale Keyboard
The following tables list the DC-788 specifications, their corresponding default values, and the other possible
values to which they can be programmed. The default values are set at the factory when the scale is shipped.
SPC 0 through SPC 19 (
Table 3-1) are customer specifications and use the 141 access code, while SPC 20
through SPC 35 (Table 3-2) are weight and measurement specifications, and use the 142 access code
In programming specifications, the + (Plus) and – (Minus) keys allow you to move to the next or previous
specification. The CLEAR key cancels any input you have made. The * PRINT key temporarily stores to
memory any changes you have made. The TARE
key saves to memory the changes you have made and returns
you to the weighing mode. Note also that when programming specifications, only the 0 and 1 keys on the
numeric keypad are enabled, since those are the only valid entries.
3.1.1 Customer Specification (141 Settings)
1. To configure customer specifications, press and hold the REZERO key and enter 141 using the numeric
keypad. The first SPC code is displayed.
The Weight display shows what specification you are in (in this case, SPC00). The Unit Weight display
shows how this specification is currently programmed (Bit 3 = 0; Bit 2 = 0; Bit 1 = 0, and Bit 0 = 1 in this
example, while the PCS display will show any changes you enter.
If this is the SPC that you want to modify, enter the new setting from the numeric keypad and press the *
PRINT key to enter the change into temporary memory and move to the next SPC code.
2. Use the + (plus) and – (minus) keys to scroll through the specifications until you find the one you want.
Then make your changes per the instructions in Step 1.
3. To change another SPC code before exiting, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
4. To save all the changed SPC settings currently in temporary memory and exit to the Weighing Mode,
press the TARE key.
