4.4.6 Scale Setup
Setup Scale allows you to define the location of the scale, scale type, scale timing, scale overflow
management, and scale calibration. The scale automatically communicates the measured weight (current
reading) to FmXP when it’s enabled and manual entry is not selected.
The scale should be zeroed prior to adding material that will be weighed. This happens automatically
during Flowrate Measurement (Mass Flow Calibration and Weight verification procedures).
A second scale (optional item) can be added to the system as a verification tool.
To set up the scale:
1. In the Main Window, select
Configuration > Setup Scale.
 The Scale Setup window (Figure 4-67) opens.
2. Select your scale type.
 Refer to the manual for your particular dispensing system if you are not sure which
model is installed. If your dispensing system is not equipped with a scale, click on the
arrow next to this box and select
None.
3. Select the desired options. Refer to Table 4-12 for descriptions.
4. Click on
Apply to apply changes before going to another tab. If finished, click on OK.
To zero the scale:
1. Place a cup in the Weigh Station chamber.
2. Click on
Zero Scale.
 This adjusts the scale to allow for the weight of the cup.
