Operations
Weighing and Communication
Place the item to be weighed on the platter, the weight will be displayed.
Remote ASCII commands can control all other functions including data transfer, zero, and tare,
depending on the protocol.
Backlight function
Diva is equipped with a backlight for the display. To switch on the backlight, press and hold the
“ZERO” key for about 3 seconds until the backlight turns on. Use the same procedure to switch the
backlight off.
Re-zero function
There are two ways to re-zero the scale:
1. Power-up Zero
2. Push button Zero
Power-up Zero
The scale will automatically capture zero when it is turned on. The power-up zero capture range
is +/-10% of the scale capacity. When the scale is turned on with a weight on the platter of
more than +/-10% of the capacity, the scale will not capture zero (the weight display will show
"-----") and the scale will not be ready for use. After removing the weight the scale will capture
"zero".
Push button Zero
The ZERO key re-zeros the scale over a range of +/-2% of the scale capacity. To use this
function, the scale must be in the gross weighing mode (NET cursor must be off) and in a
non-motion condition. When the weight on the platter is more than +/-2% of the scale
capacity, the depression of the zero key will not be accepted.
Tare Function
The Tare Key allows you to subtract weight from the platter for items like containers that will be used
to hold the item being weighed.
Place the empty container or wrapping material on the platter and Press the Tare Key.
Place the item to be weighed in the container or on the wrapping material and onto the platter.
Note: A Tare command can be sent from a POS through the Diva’s serial connection. Whatever
method is used to start a transaction must continue to be used until the transaction is over. If the
push button is used first, a remote tare command will not work. Conversely, if a remote tare is
used then the push button will not work until the transaction is complete and the scale has returned
to zero.
