PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual III Setup Caution Place the scale on its side when installing batteries or connecting the AC adapter. Do not turn the scale upside down. This could damage the load cell. Do not use the AC adapter when batteries are installed in the scale. Installing the Batteries Remove the stainless steel platform. Gently and carefully turn the scale on its side. Ensure the surface around the battery cover is dry. Do not allow water to enter the battery compartment.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Turning the Scale On and Off Remove everything from the weighing platform and press the key to turn the scale on. The display will briefly flash all segments of the LCD. After approximately five seconds, the display will stop flashing and automatically set to zero. Press the key for about three seconds to turn the scale off.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Net Weighing - Tare Operation Net weighing displays the weight of an item without the weight of its container. The weight of the container is tared off. Caution The total gross weight should never exceed the capacity of the scale. This can damage the load cell. 1. Begin with nothing on the weighing platform, the display reading zero, and the center of zero and stable indicators lit. 2.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Batch Weighing Batch weighing displays the weight of several different combined items in succession. An example is weighing each of the different ingredients in a pizza. Caution The total gross weight should never exceed the capacity of the scale. This can damage the load cell. 1. Begin with nothing on the weighing platform, the display reading zero, and the center of zero and stable indicators lit. 2.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Selectable Functions The PPC-300 family of scales offer three selectable functions to assist you with your weighing needs. These functions are packing, checkweighing and grading. Each of these functions are programmable by the operator to give you the flexibility to adapt the PPC-300 to your processes. User setup parameter 01 controls which, if any, of these functions is enabled. Parameter 01=000 None of the functions are enabled.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Packing Function The packing function is ideal for filling containers. The numeric display indicates the weight that needs to be added or removed from the platform to reach the target weight. The bar chart gives a graphical representation of the loaded weight in relationship to the target weight for quick reference. Up to 99 different setups can be stored for later recall.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Packing Function Once the packing function is enabled, the target weight and allowable range need to be setup. Setup 1. With the scale on and the platform empty, press the key for one second. The scale will indicate that it is in pack setup mode and the indicator will flash. 2. Up to 99 different configurations can be stored in memory. Initially, the scale will display configuration 01. Use the and select the desired configuration.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Packing Function This is an example of how the packing function operates once it has been enabled and setup. The setup for this example has a target weight of 10.00 lb and a range of 0.25 lb. Automatic tare is enabled, and the scale is set to flash when a weight within the acceptable weight range is loaded. Operation 1. The scale should display the negative value of the target weight. The , stable and center-of-zero indicators should be displayed. 2.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Checkweighing Function The checkweighing function uses a lower limit and upper limit to establish an acceptable weight range for portioning, quality control and filling while displaying the weight loaded on the platform. The bar chart gives a graphical representation of the status of the loaded weight in relationship to the upper and lower limits for quick reference. Up to 99 different setups can be stored for later recall.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Checkweighing Function Once the checkweighing function is enabled, the lower limit and upper limit need to be setup. Setup 1. With the scale on and the platform empty, press the key for one second. The scale will indicate that it is in checkweighing setup mode and the indicator will flash. 2. Up to 99 different configurations can be stored in memory. Initially, the scale will display configuration 01. Use the and select the desired configuration.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Checkweighing Function This is an example of how the checkweighing function operates once it has been enabled and setup. The setup for this example has a lower limit of 10.00 lb and an upper limit of 10.25 lb. The scale is set to flash when a weight within the acceptable weight range is loaded. Operation 1. The scale should display zero. The indicators should be displayed. , stable and center-of-zero 2.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Grading Function The grading function allows you to defined up to 15 continuous weight grades and displays the grade of the current load. This facilitates quick, error free sorting by the operator without a need to consult or memorize grade charts. Anywhere from 12 to 66 different setups can be store for later recall, depending on the number of grades within each setup.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Grading Function Once the grading function is enabled, the grade weights need to be setup. Each weight entered is the lowest acceptable weight for that grade. This example will setup three grades. The first is from 8.00 to 9.99 lb. The second is from 10.00 to 11.99 lb. The third is from 12.00 to 18.00 lb. Since parameter 02 is set to 003, the scale will prompt for four weights. The weights for this setup will be 8.00, 10.00, 12.00 and 18.01 lb.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual IV Using the Scale Grading Function This is an example of how the grading function operates once it has been enabled and setup. The setup for this example has grades of 8.00 to 9.99 lb, 10.00 to 11.99 lb, and 12.00 to 18.00 lb. The scale is set to display real time grade values. The flashing display is not enabled. Operation 1. The scale should display the grading setup that is active, 05 in this example. The , stable and center-of-zero indicators should be displayed.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual V User Parameters The PPC-300 family of scales have nine functional user parameters that can be accessed by pressing the and keys at the same time (depending on the setting of factory parameter 77 - see the PPC-300 Technical Manual for more information).
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual V User Parameters 01 - Function Selection The PPC-300 series has three user selectable weighing functions: Packing, Checkweighing, and Grading. The value of this parameter determines which, if any, of the three functions is enabled. For more information on these functions, please see section IV of this manual. 02 - Number of Grades The grading function can be set to have 2 to 15 grades.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual VI Troubleshooting The scale automatically detects several errors. The following table describes the various errors that can be encountered, and provide user-level corrective actions. If these actions fail to correct the error, please contact a qualified scale technician. Display Condition Low batteries. Action Replace all four batteries with fresh batteries. Exhausted batteries, scale will shut off. Replace all four batteries with fresh batteries.
PPC-300 & PPC-300D Operation Manual VI Troubleshooting Display Condition Overload - there is too much weight on the scale platform. Action Remove weight from the scale platform until the load is within the scale capacity. Negative weight reading greater than five divisions. Replace the stainless steel pan on the scale platform, if removed. Remove all items from the scale platform and press the key. Turn the scale off, wait one minute, and then turn the scale back on.
