Keyboard and Display

Figure 2.1 shows the front panel of the PC-905. This is made up of the

keyboard and display.

Figure 2.1 PC-905 Front Panel

The numeric keypad on the right side of the front panel has two function

keys:

•CLEAR Lets you clear the displayed number, tare, or

piece weight. Press to clear the last display digit

during digit entry.

If you press the RCL/. key followed

by a numeric key, the PC-905

treats the first key press as a

decimal and not a recall request.

•RCL/. Use this to recall the last tare, piece weight,

sample size or to enter a decimal (only if a

numeric key is pressed first). See note at left.

Use the 0-9 numeric keypad for entering piece weight or tare values.

There are five keys below the display:

•COUNT/WEIGHT Toggles between displaying weight and count

when a piece weight is active.

•PRINT Sends serial data from the RS-232 port to a

connected printer. If the unit is configured for PC

or Broadcast mode, this key will not function. See

the Service Manual.

•UNITS Press this key to change the displayed unit of

measure. If enabled, the choices are lb, kg, g,

and oz.

•PIECE WEIGHT Lets you key in a known piece weight. Press this

key after entering a numeric value to accept it as

the current piece weight and make the count

mode active.

•BASE Toggles between the local and remote base.

Keyboard and Display

PC-905 Counting Scale User Instructions 7

There are three keys to the right of the display:

•SAMPLE Used to select a sample size and to initiate the

calculation of sample piece weight.

This key also functions as an ON/STANDBY key

for battery powered scales. Press the key to start

the scale. Press and hold this key for five

seconds to put the scale in standby mode. The

display will show SLEEP.

As long as AC is connected to the scale it will

power up where it left off unless the scale is

SEALED. When sealed it performs the full power

up count down and zero reset.

•TARE Press this key to tare the weight on the scale.

You can also press this after keying in a numeric

tare value to accept it and activate net weight

mode

•ZERO Zeroes the scale weight or count.

The display has seven alphanumeric characters for displaying numbers and

messages. Annunciators are built into the display to indicate the following

functions:

•COUNT Annunciator indicates the scale is in count mode.

•WEIGHT Annunciator indicates scale is in weight mode.

• lb, kg, g, oz Annunciator indicates the current unit of

measure.

• LOCAL Annunciator indicates the local scale is active

•REMOTE Annunciator indicates the remote scale is active.

•LOBAT Annunciator indicates the battery has 1 or 2 hours

of battery life remaining, depending on battery

installed. See the battery information under 3.3 -

Battery Power Option (page 9). Recharge the

battery when this is displayed.

• STABLE Annunciator indicates weight on the scale is

stable.

3.3 Battery Power Option

The PC-905 has an internal and an external battery option.

The battery can be recharged in place by connecting the transformer to a

being powered by the transformer. See the Battery Information table below

for information on charge times, etc. The battery circuits are designed with

overcharge protection.

Press the SAMPLE key on the front panel to turn the scale on. Press the

SAMPLE key for five seconds to shut the scale off. You can set the battery

option to shutoff the scale automatically after a period of time. See the

Service Manual for this information.

Internal Battery If you ordered the internal battery, it will be installed in the unit prior to

shipping.

External Battery If you are going to use the external battery, remove the transformer from

beneath the scale, place the battery in its place with padding between the

battery and the scale base and around the battery. Secure the battery with

the restraining strap. Plug the battery cable into the receptacle on the back

of the scale.

Scale Setup and Operation

3.4 Operation as a Scale

The PC-905 can be used as a bench scale or as a counting scale. The

annunciators indicate when you are in the weigh mode or count mode and

when the unit is configured for pounds, kilograms, grams, or ounces.

While in weight mode, press the UNITS key to change the unit of measure.

Small words at the bottom of the display (LOBAT, STABLE, TARE, ZERO)

let you know when the battery (if installed) is low, when the scale is stable

(no motion), when a tare is in effect, and when the scale is at zero.

Follow these instructions for operating the PC-905 as a scale:

The scale will power up in the counting mode if a piece weight was active

when powered down.

1. For AC powered models, plug the unit into a grounded 120VAC source.

For battery and AC powered models, the unit will power up when

plugged into the outlet or the battery. If the unit is in SLEEP (standby)

mode, press the SAMPLE key. . .

If the display shows SLEEP while

powered on AC and not sealed, the

diagnostics test is skipped on

power up .

The scale performs an internal diagnostics test, zeroes the scale,

then displays the count or weight. The scale is in the weigh mode

when the weight annunciator is lit.

2. If necessary, zero the scale by pressing the ZERO key. . .

The zero indicator illuminates.

3. For gross weighing, place the object to be weighed on the scale. . .

Gross weight is displayed.

4. For net weighing, place object to be tared on the scale and press the

TARE key. . .

The tare annunciator illuminates, and zero weight is displayed.

5. Place material to be weighed on the scale.

Net weight of material is displayed.

6. If your scale is hooked up to a printer or PC and the weight is stable,

press PRINT to transmit data.

Formatted weight and count information is printed. The format is

selectable. See the Service Manual for information on print

formats.
