Operating instructions

Input
Foot Switch Input
You can connect a foot switch to the
terminal and use it to perform a given
keypad function (such as c or t).
PC Input
You can use a computer to control the
functions of the scale via the interface
port (see the “Data Output Function”
section in the chapter entitled
“Operating the Scale”).
Data Output
The FCT01-X is equipped with an
interface port for connecting one of
the following devices:
– Printer*
– Peripheral device (such as a PC)*
* Zener barrier required (see
“Accessories”)
Printer
In the scale Setup menu you can
configure the printer output format to
meet your requirements, with or
without IDs, including ISO/GLP
requirements.
ISO: International Organization for
Standardization
GLP: Good Laboratory Practice
You can have printouts generated
automatically or by pressing p. You
can also configure whether or not
generation of a printout is dependent
on stability or time parameters.
See “Data Output Functions” in the
chapter entitled “Operating the
Scale” for a detailed description.
Interface Port
You can connect a different
peripheral device, such as a PC, to
the interface port rather than a
printer.You can control both the
weighing cell and the terminal
through a connected PC. With this
feature, request messages are sent via
the interface to initiate functions in the
weighing cell and the terminal. Some
of the functions generate response
messages.
See “Data Output Functions” in the
chapter entitled “Operating the
Scale” for a detailed description.
Error Codes
If you press a key that has no
function, or which is blocked at a
certain point in an application
program, this error is indicated as
follows:
– a double beep is sounded as an
acoustic signal if the key has no
function
– a double beep is sounded and the
message "No function" is
displayed in the text line if the key
function is not available at that time
The response to an operator error is
identical in all operating modes. See
the chapter entitled “Error Codes” for
a detailed description.
Storing Settings

The settings configured remain stored
in the scale’s non-volatile memory. In
addition, you can reload the factory
