METTLER TOLEDO JAGXTREME Terminal Technical Manual
(9/00) 2-28
Power-up Sequence
The JAGXTREME terminal goes through a series of self-tests when it is turned on. These
tests confirm normal terminal operation. The power-up sequence is as follows:
1. All segments of the display windows are lit, verifying operation of all segments. The
display shows dashes [---] in the upper display while the terminal performs internal
diagnostic self-tests on memory and identifies optional boards that are installed.
The terminal also checks the location of setup parameters and memory fields. If
these have been moved or changed, an error message will appear before
displaying the software part number.
2. After a delay, the terminal displays the software revision level and advances to
normal operation mode.
3. Next, the terminal tests communication with the load cell. The terminal displays
weight when successful communication is established. If the JAGXTREME terminal
is unable to establish communication, an error is displayed.
4. Finally, if enabled, the JAGXTREME terminal power-up timer counts the minutes and
seconds remaining before the terminal advances to normal operating mode. Power-
up timer configuration is discussed in Chapter 3.
The basic power-up sequence requires approximately 20 seconds. The power-up
sequence is analogous to the time required to “boot” a personal computer.
Scale Build
Determination
If a standard, recommended scale build is used for your application, you can proceed to
Chapter 3: Programming and Calibration. If a nonstandard build is desired or if the
analog scale input is used with a mechanical lever system conversion, the minimum
increment size for the scale base must be determined before calibration.
Minimum Increment Size for
Bench and Portable Single
DLC Scale Bases
Consult the DLC Bench Scale Serial Plate or Technical Manual for the capacity and
increment size. POWERCELLs used with the POWERCELL PCB have a minimum
allowable increment size of 5 lb. Standard truck scale applications use an increment
size of 20 lb (10 kg). If these increment sizes differ for legal-for-trade applications using
the POWERCELL load cell, consult with the presiding government agency.
See Appendix 4 for information on
loading software and power-up error
messages and actions.
The software revision level is shown in
the lower display area during power-up.
