The instrument may be used for direct sales to the public.

2 DESCRIPTION

2.1 Construction FX140 (Figure 1)

2.1.1 Mechanical

Two piece plastic housing that contains the electronics, display and load cell

Interfaces for connection of the scale weight only information to peripheral devices.

Remote power adapter module input.

Remote display(s) interface.

Level indicator.

2.1.2 Devices

Initial zero setting device

Semi-auto zero setting device

Zero tracking device

Zero indicator

Net indicator

Semi-auto tare device

Calibration set-up

2.1.3 Load cell

The load cell is an Avery Weigh-Tronix Model T702.

2.1.4 Power Supply

The Friwo remote power adapter module (M/№ FE 4823 120E055) operates at 230 V AC, 50 Hz and provides a regulated 12 V DC supply to the scale.

An internal battery supply may be used; the minimum operating voltage is 6 V DC.

2.1.5 Displays

The instrument may be provided with an integral weight display and a remote column mounted weight display. Both types of display comprise of a panel, with six 7 segment digits, at least 9.5 mm high.

3/14

2.1.5.1 Integral display (Figure 2)

The integral display may be of an LED type, which has the “kg” unit, zero and NET symbols included on the display overlay.

2.1.5.2 Remote display (Figure 3)

The remote display may be of an LCD type, which has the “kg” indication in the top right corner, the “net” indication in the top left corner and the “zero” symbol in the bottom left corner of the display. A socket is also available for connection of additional supplementary remote display(s).

To the right of the display panel there are five keys:

Zero - semi automatic zero setting (also for navigation, in management and engineer mode)

Tare - semi automatic tare balancing (also for navigation, in management and engineer mode)

- display test

C - navigation, in management and engineer mode

< - navigation, in management and engineer mode

2.2 Operation

2.2.1 Switch-on

At switch-on, the instrument performs a self-test during which all the relevant segments of both displays are lit. The instrument attempts to set zero provided that it is within a range of 20% of its capacity.

2.2.2 Zero-tracking

Zero-tracking operates provided that the instrument is within a range of 4% of its capacity.

2.2.3 Semi-automatic zero setting

Semi-automatic zero setting is operated by using the 0 key within a range of 4% of maximum capacity.

2.2.4 Over and under range

Any loads greater than nine divisions above maximum capacity will display an error code shown as a line of six dashes across the top of the display. Loads below zero, will display an error code shown as a line of six dashes across the bottom of the display.

4/14

2.2.5 Tare

Semi-automatic subtractive tare balancing can be performed. The maximum tare value is dependent upon the capacity and configuration.

3 TECHNICAL DATA

3.1 Power supply 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The instrument may also be fitted with an internal battery; the minimum battery voltage is 6 V DC.

4 PERIPHERAL DEVICES AND INTERFACES

4.1 Peripheral devices

4.1.1 The weighing system may be connected to any non-intelligent recipient peripheral which is technically compatible, has a test certificate issued by a notified body for EC Type Examination to the directive 2009/23/EC in any Member State and bears the CE marking of conformity to the relevant directives.

4.1.2 Any simple recipient peripheral device may be used if:

it bears the CE marking for conformity to the EMC Directive;

it is not capable of transmitting any data or instructions into the NAWI other than to release a printout or check for correct data transmission; and

it prints or indicates weighing results and other data as received from the NAWI without any modification or further processing; and

It complies with the applicable requirements of BS EN: 45501 i.e. sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7.

4.1.3 The weighing system may be connected to CE-marked PC terminals used for determining postal tariffs. The Min value in this case may be shown as 5 e and the display overlays will include the legend “Minimum Load For Postal Use 5 e” or similar wording.

4.2 Interfaces

The instrument has the following protected interfaces:

RS232, RS422/485

RS422 / 485 from the remote display

Programming (for engineer use only) – Sealed

4.3 Point of sale (POS)
