Installing Your Scale Setup 1. Locating your scale. The rugged design of your Super II scale ensures that it will be able to operate well in the typical factory or office environment. Nonetheless, you should always treat your scale as you would any other piece of precision equipment, locating it on a clean dry surface, protected from draft and vibration. CE certification only applies to use of the scale in an Indoor Environment. 2. Leveling your scale.
3. Connecting the controller. Attach the coiled cord coming out of the Super II weighing base to the port marked BASE on the underside of the controller. If you would like to mount the controller to the base, refer to the diagram below. 1. Line up the controller with the three spring loaded screw washers on the base. 2. Press the controller onto the base in order to engage the screw heads and slide the controller to the left. 3. Press down on the controller to secure it into place.
4. Powering the scale. The Super II scale comes standard with a 16V AC adapter designed to both power the scale and recharge the optional internal battery. It is recommended to first plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet before connecting to the back of the scale. Once you have plugged your scale into a live outlet, it is automatically on. If the scale is equipped with the internal battery option, the on-off switch on the rear panel must be in the ‘on’ position to power-up the scale.
Understanding Your Scale Keypad: Soft Keys The Super II keypad is divided into three groups of keys. The first set of keys underneath the display are referred to as “soft keys”. Their function changes depending on where you are in the counting procedure or which level you enter in the menu. The default soft keys are listed below and have the following functions: ZERO Assigns the pan and whatever is currently being weighed a value of zero.
Keypad: Alphanumeric Keys The second set of keys are the alphanumeric keys. These keys are used to enter numbers or values into the scale as well as alphanumeric information into the various ID registers. The default key functions are represented by the numbers on the bottom. To access the alpha characters or punctuation above the numbers, the abc hard key must be pressed. “ABC” will appear in the lower left side of the display indicating that you are now in the alpha entry mode.
LEDs There are two LEDs on the keypad that are only active when the battery option is installed and in use. low battery “red” Indicates that the battery needs to be charged. charging “green” Indicates that the battery is being charged. Display Symbols OK Reading shown is stable. ABC Alphanumeric keypad is in the letter entry mode. ------ The reading is outside the calibration range. OL The ----- is indicating an overload situation. UL The ----- reading is indicating an underload situation.

User Functions Basic Weighing To weigh an object on your scale, use the following procedure: 1. Press the ZERO key and wait for the display to show Ø.ØØ weight with the “OK” stability indicator on. 2. Place the object(s) to be weighed on the pan. 3. Wait for the “OK” symbol, then read the weight from the display. Weighing/Counting with a Container To weigh or count objects WITHOUT including the weight of the container, use the tare or ZERO keys.
Basic Counting Using the Default Soft Keys Most counting applications can be successfully accomplished by using the 5 default soft keys at the bottom of the display. To count a number of like pieces on the scale, use the following procedure: 1. Place an empty container on the scale. Press the ZERO key. 0.0 OK! Base 1 Grams ZERO> SAMPLE> COUNT> PRINT> CLEAR> 2. Press the SAMPLE key. Each time the key is pressed the requested sample size will sequence to the next sample size in the sample size menu. (i.
Entering Numeric Values for ID, APW, COUNT, or tare The numeric keypad can be used for entering values for the PART ID, the APW (average piece weight), the COUNT, or tare weight. Additional ID registers are available by pressing the MORE soft key. To enter known values into those registers, follow the procedure below: 1. Press any of the numeric keys. The 5 soft keys change to the following: Enter ID, Tare, APW, or Count. 1234 PART ID 2.
Entering Alphanumeric Information into the ID Registers Using the Scale Keypad The alphanumeric keypad can be used for entering information into the various ID registers for printing or database record purposes. There are 10 ID registers numbered 0-9. The first 7 ID registers have been given common field names listed below. To change the name of an ID field, please refer to the ID NAME soft key in the Supervisor menu of the “Supervisor and Technical Setups “ manual.
Counting with Accuracy Enhancement When counting parts that are not uniform in weight, it is possible to periodically update the average piece weight (APW) and thereby increase the accuracy. Each time the UPDTAPW key is pressed, the scale will update the APW as long as the additional weight is less than or equal to the previous sample weight. If the added weight is more than 100% of the previous sample, the APW will not be updated.
Reverse Counting or Kitting Use this feature to count the number of pieces removed from a full container. This is especially helpful when kitting (counting out a certain number of pieces to be packed together). To perform reverse counting or kitting, use the following procedure: 1. Place a container full of pieces you wish to count on the pan. 2. Press the ZERO key then press the SAMPLE key. 3. The scale display will read “ADD 10 Pieces”.
Operating Your Scale Using a QWERTY Keyboard The back of the removable controller has a port for a standard PS/2® style computer keyboard. To remove the controller from the base, please refer to Section 1, Setting Up Your Scale. Once a QWERTY keyboard is attached to the controller, all scale operations can be performed from the keyboard or in combination with the scale’s controller.
To enter a value into one of the above registers , use the function key F1 - F3 that corresponds to the desired soft key (ex: F2 for entering an APW value). Use the F9 key to enter a tare value. Use the F5 Key to EXIT. Entering Alphanumeric ID Information Once a letter is pressed, the scale’s display changes to the ID entry mode. At this point, there are two ways of entering the information into the ID register. The function keys F1 - F4 are available to select registers and move throughout the menu.
Adjusting the Backlighting Option Super II controllers which are equipped with optional display backlighting are also equipped with controls to vary the brightness of the backlighting. An additional feature of the backlighting control is the automatic battery detector which differentiates between power delivered from an AC adapter and that from an internal or external battery.
Soft Key: SAVE Saving Information to the Database or Transaction Log Your scale comes equipped with a database for storage of APW’s (average piece weights), Tare Weights, Counts, Set Points or complete Transactions with various ID fields and a Time/Date stamp.
