Software of count ing set makes possible:
- determining mass of single detail on main balance with highestaccuracy of weighing
- owing to application of graphic display, balance software is user-friendly
- possibility of application PC type PS/2 keyboard simplifies moving insoftware menu and data accessing
- printing basic labels, cumulative labels, cc labels (cumulative labels ofcumulative ones)
- cooperation with barcode scanner- cooperation with additional balance platform
3. GETTING STARTED
3.1 Conditions of appropriate use
place balance on a stable and flat table or free from vibrations balance should not be exposed to draughts and sudden air movements balance should be placed in room of stable temperature and humidity
balance should be placed far from heat sources temperature of the room should be +15C +30C (for WLT balances) if static electricity influence balances, indications, its base should be
earthed. Earthling clamp is in the back part of balance base balances should be levelled according to a level condition indicator to
guarantee the appropriate weighing accuracy
3.2 Time of warming-up
Before performing measurements wait until balance reaches temperaturestabilization. It is so-called warm-up time. It takes about 15 minutes.For weighing instruments that have been stored in low temperatures (e.g.during winter) the warm-up time is about 2 hours.
The indications of display may change during temperature stabilization.

3.3. Balance levelling
To do the measurements correctly level the scale. Take the pan off carefully(without rapid pulls and hits) and turn the legs in order to level the balance, airbubble should be place in the centre of level condition indicator.
Fig. 2. Balance levelling1- correct levelling
2- incorrect levelling
4. UNDER-FLOOR WEIGHING
For scales with 165 x 165mm platforms can weigh underslinged loads (hangedunder the balance floor). In case of using this function:
remove the hole plug made of plastic (placed in the balance floor),
a suspension can be seen in the hole. It is standard equipment,Mount an appropriate hook for hanging loads (hook is non-standard
equipment).
1. The suspense cannot be rotated, revolved or tampered in any way,because of direct connection with the weighing mechanism of thebalance.
2. All the additional elements like pan, string etc. should be tarred (TARE).3. Balances with 300 x 300mm or 410 x 410mm platforms do not have the
under-floor weighing mechanism.

7. WEIGHING
Basic conditions which should be fulfilled to ensure reliability of measurements: stable base for balance, choice of appropriate parameters for existing external conditions
Before measurements or in case of essential changes of external conditions,balance should be calibrated according to manual (for verified balances,function of calibration is not accessible for user)Before measurements check if unloaded balance indicates precise zero indicated pictogram - - in left lower corner (only when P4 06 Autozeroparameter is set on 1: yesor P4 07for second platform), if balance doesntindicates zero press key: .
If conditions for zeroing are unfavourable (lack of stable result), displayindicates horizontal lines. After exceeding set zeroing time of balance willreturn to weighing without performing zeroing. In such case wait forstabilization of conditions and press again key.
Place on the pan weighed load and when results are stable (indicated )read on the display result of weighing.

Notice:Balance zeroing determines a new zero point treated by balance as precisezero. Zeroing is possible only in stable states of the indication.
8. BALANCE CALIBRATION
To ensure very high accuracy of weighing, periodical entering to memorycorrection factor of balance indication referring to standard mass is required; itis so called balance calibration. In WLT balances it is inaccessible for user. Theprocedure of calibration can be performed only by authorized services of themanufacturer.

11.3. Setting the time of display refreshment
This parameter determines how often indication of display is refreshed. It isrealized by comparing what in given moment is on the display with informationsent by balance processor about state of weighed mass placed on the pan.
For higher refreshment parameters value display do not indicate intermediateunstable mass indication by placing and removing the load on balance pan,however for low values all changes of mass during weighing are visible e.g.this enables dosing loose or liquid materials. Time of refreshment is set inseconds.
11.4. Setting of autozero operating
To ensure accurate balance indications software AUTOZERO function wasintroduced. Task of this function is automatic control and correction of balancezero indication.When function is active comparison of successive results takes place indeclared distance of time e.g. every 1 s. If these result differ in value lower thandeclared range of AUTOZERO e.g. 1 interval, balance will automatically zeroand markers of stable result and zero indication will bedisplayed.
When AUTOZERO function is on every measurement starts from precise zero.There are some special cases when this function interrupts in measurements.Example of it can be very slow placing the load on the pan (e.g. pouring theload) in such case system of zero indication correction can also correctindication of real mass of load. AUTOZERO can be switch on or off inparameter P4 06 main platform 07 additional platform.
11.5. Last d igi t
To ensure appropriate comfort of operating with balance user determines(depending on needs) if last digit of mass indication is to be displayed and inwhich states of balance. One of below values can be set:
- 0 never- 1 always- 2 when stab
For verified balance option 1 always is set (without possibility of changing)

21. BARCODES
21.1. General description
Barcodes are the most popular form of automatic identification of articles. Theyare used to describe documents and products to allow automatic loading datato computers. Barcode scanners are used to interpret barcodes and send
information to external devices. For receiving overprints of barcodes are usedlabel printers. (e.g. CITIZEN, ZEBRA)There are many barcode types with deferent information content. Barcodes aregraphical interpretation of information in dark and white strips of different width.The main objective of using codes is speeding up and increasing faithfulness ofread information, which substituted manual entering of information.The number of industries which adapt barcode technologies is continuouslygrowing. More and more firms build they automatic identification system on thebasis of barcode scanners.

Scanning technology for barcodes reading:
laser longer scanning range (e.g. QS-6000+, Cubit) diode durable, faster operation (e.g. Dioder, QS-2500)
21.2. EAN code
One of the most popular barcodes are EAN (European Article Numbering),which were approved for common use in retail trade in 1976. Americanequivalent is UPC.
EAN code types: EAN-13 (zawiera 12 cyfr danych i jedncyfrkontroln)
EAN-8 (7 cyfr danych i 1 cyfra kontrolna). EAN-128 (digital version of CODE 128)
First 3 digits signify a country (e.g. 590 - Poland), with the exception of codesthat starts with the digit 2 this codes are used to mark articles if differentweight and dimensions especially packed in shops. EAN 13 is used togetherwith ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), for newspapers andmagazines. 3-digit country code is substituted by 977.
21.3. Other barcodes
Code 39 Alphanumerical barcode with variable length. It allows to us43 different characters; each character comprises 9 elements (darkand white strips).
Code 128 Alphanumerical barcode with variable length devised toexpand Code 39 possibilities.
Interleaved 2 of 5 Numerical code with variable length (always even).High density digits coded in pairs "with interleave" dark strip code
one digit and white (separable) the second.
21.4. Advantages of using barcodes
Less errors during data input in comparison to manual inscribing Quick data loading direct input to external devices Costs more efficient client service, simpler reserves management,
shorter reaction time, lower level of reserves.

Barcode technology allows to:
Monitor commercial transactions, survey stored reserves
supervise warehouse transactions collecting, decomposing,palletization etc. shorten time of loading and unloading goods monitor production in real time monitor reserves
21.5 The usage of EAN-128 barcode in scales.
The EAN-128 barcode standard has been created to provide a worldwidestandard for exchanging simple data between enter prices. Other codes includedata without marking what they include. EAN-128 includes data with allinformation about them.
For example, when coding 17,21 kg as 1721 an application does not know if itis a price, time or mass. Even if the application can identify this field as weightit has no information about unit and point (1721 kg or 17.21 g).
It is important that everybody can decode the information without any additional
modifications. EAN-128 standard solves this problem. It includes a list of"Application Identifiers". Every identifier carries a message to inform a systemabout the data type and format. E.g. 310 identifier indicates for the net mass inkg. The next digit in this identifier outlines the point position, then the following6 digits outline a weight.
