Preamble How To Use Manual
1.2 How To Use Manual

The Operating Manual is designed to support you in getting to know and operating the
system.
The manual is completed by manuals
• Operating Instructions, scale-specific, multi-lingual (BVH2336 - BVH2343)

• System Manual (BVH2334)
• Function Blocks (BVH2317)
• Data Communication Manual (BVH2359)
• Kundendiensthandbuch - Diagnosen am DISOMAT (BVH2280, German
only)
• Wireless Scales - Configuration with Bluetooth (BVH2314AA)
• Secondary & Large-size Displays (BVH2015)
For you to find your way about in the manual, quickly and at your ease - some tips:
How Do I Read The Manual?

The DISOMAT manual is no novel you should, let alone must, read from beginning to
end. Use manual as a reference work. Table of contents and list of keywords at end
will help you to quickly trace the information given in it.
Many suggestions relate to operating sequences. If possible, try out operating

sequences right away.
What Scale Do I Use ?

Clarify beforehand what scale configuration of system basic variant you wish to use.
Chapter 6 of the respective scale configuration includes all the information you need.
Whom Does This Manual Serve?

The present manual assumes that you are the daily user or a plant engineer/specialist.
Daily User
The daily user operates the system to solve weighing problems, e.g. fill weighings. He
needs no comprehensive system knowledge but should be familiar with the keyboard,
some error messages, and some items of the menu tree. At that, he should know the
parameter password which enables him to reset balance and consecutive number,
and change some parameters.
Plant Engineer/Specialist
The plant engineer/specialist commissions the system, remedies fault or works out a
solution to weighing control tasks with the aid of function blocks. To do so, he needs
comprehensive system knowledge, must be familiar with the configuration and
calibration passwords.

Safety Instructions How To Use Manual
2 Safety Instructions
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, follow the safety regulations stated
below.
Additionally, you should observe:
• Safety hints given in order-specific documentation

• Safety hints relating to mechanical components
• Instructions given in sub-suppliers documentation.
When performing installation, commissioning and service work, observe all applicable
local regulations.
Use As Originally Intended

The measuring system and its connected mechanical components are exclusively
designed for weighing and controlling tasks. Any use other than originally intended is
considered inappropriate.
Risks
No danger originates from the measuring system itself, if it is properly installed and
commissioned.
However, upon use of the measuring system, danger may result during transit of
material to be weighed (e.g. from auxiliaries used to handle or feed material) or if
system assumes control tasks. Residual risks may originate from the measuring
system if unskilled operators improperly handle the system.
The measuring system can be part of a more complex plant. The user is fully
responsible for the overall plant safety.
Identification of Residual Risks
The presence of this symbol indicates that the machine or component

used has the potential to cause damage to the measuring system or other
plant sections.
The presence of this symbol indicates that the machine or component used
has the potential to cause severe injury or death.
Personnel
Preparation, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and servicing may
exclusively be performed by skilled persons only.
All persons working on the measuring system are required to observe the safety hints
and know the parts of the technical documentation relevant to their work.
The supervisor is responsible for instructing his operators to observe all regulations
and instructions given.

Safety Instructions How To Use Manual
Parameter Changes
The measuring system's functionality is determined by parameters, which must
exclusively be changed by persons familiar with the measuring system operating
principles (e.g. after training by Schenck Process). Parameters incorrectly set may
cause injuries or damage to the machine whenever a user control system is
connected. They can also adversely affect weighing operation.
Password
Software parameters are protected from unintended change by password. The
measuring system user has to ensure safe password handling.
Error Message Acknowledgement

Error messages may be acknowledged only after cause of fault has been remedied.
Before you acknowledge an error message, check to see that connected peripherals
properly operate. Check to see that connected control systems, if any, are in fail-safe
state.
Maintenance and Repair
• During maintenance and repair, observe any warning symbols on the scale.
• Before performing work on the mechanical system or peripherals (particularly
the control system), disconnect the measuring system and protect the system
from inadvertent restart.
• Before performing work on the electrical equipment, disconnect the power
supply.
• The devices may be operated only in the provided housings. There is danger
of contacting live parts.
Moisture Protection
Protect all system parts, electrical items in particular, from moisture (e.g. during
maintenance and servicing) when housings are open. Observe housing protection
standards.
Modification & Replacement

Unauthorized modifications to the system and/or use of replacement parts not
supplied by Schenck Process voids Schenck Process's liability for any resulting
damages. This particularly applies to modifications, which have the potential to affect
the operating safety of the measuring system.
Replacement of Components
Spare parts must meet the technical specifications indicated by Schenck Process. To
ensure this requirement is met, only genuine Schenck Process spare parts should be
used. When using other spare parts, the warranty will be void.

Safety Instructions Information for Users of Certified Scales
2.1 Information for Users of Certified Scales
Requirements of non-legal-for-trade additional equipment/EDP

systems employed in commercial applications.
Legal situation
For use in commercial applications, measuring results must be acquired using certified
measuring systems.
The transfer of measurement values to non-legal-for-trade additional equipment *)
"EDP Systems" for the preparation of vouchers is permitted under the proviso that
- the scale or a verified (certified) piece of additional equipment records and stores the
measurement values in unchanged and undeletable fashion,
- measurement values can be accessed by both parties of the commercial

transaction.
The weighing system user is responsible for compliance with legal

requirements.
*)
According to the Weights & Measures regulations, additional equipment and
measurement systems are treated alike. Verification Act and Verification Ordinance
consider this predicament and pose demands on the EDP systems and programs
used in commercial applications.
Requirements on EDP connection / Measurement value acquisition and

preparation of vouchers:
1) Call for legal-for-trade measurement values (ensure legal-for-trade data

saving):
- The call for a legal-for-trade measurement value must meet the requirements given
in manuals BV-H2335 (see 'Fct. 465:EDP Format') and BV-H2359 (see EDP
Commands).
- When changing the prompting mode from EDP to scale, always check to see if data
saving properly operates.
- The use of measurement values for any voucher without previous legal-for-trade
data saving, e.g. in case of error message, is prohibited and will constitute an
offence to the Weights & Measures regulations.

Safety Instructions Information for Users of Certified Scales
2) Identification of measurement values:

- For traceability, the legal-for-trade measurement values - from legal-for-trade data
memory to voucher - must be complete with relevant identifications (attributes),
e.g.
• Date
• Time
• Cons. No.
- The voucher must include the following comments: "Measurement values from
freely programmable additional equipment. Legal-for-trade memory values

DISOMAT Overview Characteristics
3 DISOMAT Overview
3.1 Characteristics
DISOMAT is a weighing terminal designed for automatic weight acquisition, control
functions and data processing. This compact system combines all essential functions
of a weighing terminal.
As a rule, the system is supplied legal-for-trade.

In certified applications, the Weights & Measures regulations have to be
observed.
The DISOMAT basic variant comprises multiple function variants (scales) of different
functionality:
• Filling Scale with fill control for filling into a hopper

• Discharge Scale with fill control for removal from a hopper
• Crane Scale
• Cargo Scale
For detailed information of all function variants, please refer to chapter 6.

In addition, you can use the basic variant to solve individual weighing tasks with the
aid of function blocks. For details, please refer to the manual 'Function Blocks'
(BVH2317).

A legal-for-trade scale has to be operated in the weight display (=Net).
Display is organised into sections; the following areas are visible (top down):
• 'Message field' (first line)

• 'Weight field'
--------- Dividing line --------------
• 'Dialog field'

Message Field
The message field displays scale information or event messages.
Sample scale information:

3.4 Control Concept

As already mentioned, there are two operating states: 'Home Position' and 'Menu
Tree'.
'Home Position' is the operating state which holds available the system functions that
can be executed via key or key combination and are primarily used in daily operation.
The 'Menu Tree' permits access to a high number of functions that cannot be
executed by key operation and are available only after selection from a menu system.
A part of these functions also concerns daily operation, the dominant part, however, is
used for system setting and can be accessed only with the use of a password
hierarchy.
As you can see, functions of both operating states are used in daily operation with no
need for password input. System setting is exclusively done in 'Menu Tree' operating
state and requires password input in every case.
The dependance on password input leads from the distinction of operating states to
the distinction of operating modes and thus to a clearer system description.

DISOMAT Overview General Control
'Normal Mode' (see Chapter 4) comprises the functionality used in daily operation
without password input.
The daily user uses
• Home position functions

• Menu tree functions
'Setting Mode' (see Chapter 5) comprises the functionality required for system setting
and protected by a graded password system. Depending on system type, a special
password must be entered. There are the following classes of password:
• Parametrization
• Configuration
• Calibration
3.5 General Control

While the operation in 'Home Position' is reduced to comparatively few keys, the use
of the versatile functions in the 'Menu Tree' operating state requires detailed system
knowledge.
Despite its complex functionality, the system is relatively easy to handle thanks to the
small number of elementary operating sequences. As you will come across these
sequences, again and again, we explain them in detail in this chapter. In the chapters
to follow, the actual functionality is presented in the form of 'catalog' items.
The display's message and weight fields are reserved for output of system information
while the dialog field serves both for input and output. Except of the 'Home Screen
Output' possibility (see relevant item), the dialog field exclusively serves for manual
operation of system functions in the dialog mode.

3.5.1 Menu Tree

3.5.1.1 Operating Principle
To be able to manually operate the versatile DISOMAT functions, an easy-to-handle

access method is used. All functions are comprised in a hierarchical system (similar to
the Windows menu). Their representation in form of a tree structure (that where the
name 'Menu Tree' stems from) shows how the functions are comprised and can be
accessed (see schematic below).
Every square corresponds to a menu item (=function). Depending on the extent of

downstream functionality, a menu tree can branch to further sub-menues (up to 4
levels).
As you can see, the menu system is called up from home position, and exit brings you
back there. To do so, or to navigate in menu tree, simply move UP or DOWN, or to the
LEFT and to the RIGHT. This is reflected by the double arrows connecting all menu
items; on the same level with horizontal, between levels with vertical arrows.
This form of menu tree representation has been selected intentionally. To be able to
execute one of the many functions, you must be able to select them. This is done in
the dialog field. If you keep the following image in mind, you can see that you have to
move in menu tree only until the desired function appears on display. The two lines of
the dialog field are a sort of window, for you to view the menu tree passing by
(comparable to the principle of a microfilm reader).

For you to know in which direction you have to move, every menu item is assigned an
unambiguous number (coordinates) reflecting their position in menu tree. You will
know level 1 menu items (main items) by a 1-digit number, level 2 menu items by a 2-
digit number, and so forth.

For you to recognize whether the menu item hides a single function of a menu with
further function, menu tree texts differ by capital and lower case letters, e.g.
• 'Password' is a function
• 'FUNCTION VARIANT' is a menu.
Once you have selected a function for display in the dialog field, you must still start it.
3.5.1.2 Calling Function
(a) Indirect Method:
Follow these steps:
1. Change from 'Home Position' operating state to 'Menu Tree'.

2. Display desired function (if need be, enter password).
3. Start function.
4. Operate function dialog.
5. Exit function or abort.
6. If need be, execute further functions.
7. Return to 'Home Position' operating state.
Ad 1., 2. and 7.
Call/exit menu tree and select function using the DIRECTION KEYS:
[DOWN arrow] key:

In home position: Call menu tree
Im menu tree: Move one level down (call sub-menu)
[UP arrow] key:
Exit menu tree (from level 1)
Im menu tree: Move one level up (exit sub-menu)
[Left arrow] key:
Move to the left to next same-level menu item *)
[Right arrow] key:

Move to the left to next same-level menu item *)
*) The menu items of a level are arranged in 'ring-shaped' fashion, e.g. all you have to
do is operate these keys as many times as required for desired menu item to appear
on display.
Once you have selected function, number and name of the relevant menu is output
in the upper dialog line. The lower dialog line displays the name of the function.

Ad 3.
Start selected function:
[ENTER] key:
Start function
Once you have started function, number and name of its menu appear in the upper
dialog line.
In the lower dialog line, a note is displayed on the left (e.g. 'Fixed Tare') right next to
the input/output field. (Enter e.g. Fixed1).
Wherever a menu tree function is described in the following chapters of

manual, it is assumed that the function has been started as described above.
Ad 4.
For sequences and special features of dialog control and data input, see item to
follow.
Ad 5. and 6.
Exit function using the following keys:
F? [OK] key:
With output function: Exit function.
With input function: Exit function and acquire inputs.
[ABORT] key:
With output function: Abort function.
With input function: Abort function and reject inputs.
Upon exit of function, DISOMAT returns to its state before call, i.e. you are still in
menu tree, can restart selected function or select a new one.
Ad 7.
To return to 'Home Position' operating state, press key [UP arrow] as many times as
required, or go to home position direct by using key combination [SHIFT]+[UP arrow].
Entered password, if any, is no longer valid.

(b) Direct Method
DISOMAT knows a second method to call up a function ('Menu Tree Quick Selection').
It also operates on the menu tree principle but differs from the indirect method by
sequence.
The 'Menu Tree Quick Selection' can be used only from home position.
As already stated above, every menu item has a number resulting from its position in
menu tree. The 'Form Format' function, for instance, has number 461 (4th position on
level 1, 6th position on level 2, 1st position on level 3).
Instead of selecting the function in menu tree with the use of the DIRECTION KEYS
and starting it with [ENTER], you can select and automatically start function using
the quick selection method.
Stepping is possible only to those places where a function can be executed directly.
Stepping to a menu item used to call a further menu (e.g. '3:PRINT') is not possible.
Call function directly using the key combination

[SHIFT] + [ACK]:
'Menu Tree Quick Selection'
Dialog field shows the input field:
Menu path 461
Enter number of desired function (e.g. 461) and acknowledge with [ENTER] key.
Function starts directly.
If the privileges are not sufficient to execute the selected function, system
prompts for password input.
Tip: Should function selection fail in spite of accepted password, password is

unsuitable for this function.
Upon exit of function ([OK] or [ABORT] key) system returns to home position direct.
Password input, if any, is no longer valid.
3.5.2 Data Input/Output

In addition to basic weighing functions and functions with direct effect (e.g.
'35:PrintRepeat'), system operation is realized using inputs and outputs in the dialog
field.
• In 'Home Position' operating state, you can select the system information to
be displayed using the 'Home Screen Output' function (see Item 4.1.8).
• In 'Menu Tree' operating state, you use the functions responsible for data
output (e.g. '7:Display Gross) or prompting for data input (e.g. '9:Manual Tare
Input).
After start of a system function, operation continues in the dialog mode. These simple,
recurring sequences are explained hereafter. For this kind of interaction, use the input
and control block keys.

3.5.2.1 Operating Input/Output Dialogs
For you to easily recognize the kind of reaction required for system operation, dialogs
follow certain conventions.
Outputs
These are functions displaying current parameter values.
If the contents (e.g. '1234,56') is displayed after the note (e.g. 'Balance') in the lower
dialog line, the function is an output function.
There are various types of output:
• With single-part outputs, only one value is output:

o Value is permanently displayed; exit function with [OK] key.
o Value is displayed for some seconds; function terminates
automatically
(e.g. '7:Display Gross')
• With multi-part outputs, multiple values are output one after the other.
o Values are permanently displayed; go to next value with [ENTER] key;
exit function with [OK] key
(e.g. '6:Display Balance')
o Value is displayed for some seconds; function terminates
automatically
(e.g. '52:Display Version')
Inputs
These are functions used to enter data in the dialog mode.
If the input field in lower dialog line after the note is underscored, the function is an
input function.
There are two types of input:
• Input using scroll field (input by selection). Select from list of eligible values
using the [Left Arrow] and [Right Arrow] keys.

• Input by editing (key-in input). You will know current input position by
flashing block cursor.
NOTE: For editing input field, see end of item.
There are two types of input functions:
• With single-part input functions, only one input field appears.

Acknowledge inputs with [ENTER] or [OK] keys and exit function
(e.g. 9:Enter Manual Tare).
• With multi-part input functions, multiple input fields appear one after the
other.
Acknowledge inputs with [ENTER] key; next input field appears
([SHIFT]+[ENTER] goes back to the previous input field).
After last input field, program returns to the first.
Exit function with [OK] key (e.g. '1:Enter Setpoint').
NOTE: With a multi-part input, both inputs types can be used one after the
other as many times as required.
3.5.2.2 Editing Input Field
a) Moving Block Cursor
Key Key Action Display in dialog field

After start of input function, cursor normally
stands on first input position, e.g.
[Right Arrow]:
Shift block cursor one digit to the right.
Cursor stops on last position.
[Left Arrow]:
Shift block cursor one digit to the left.
Cursor stops on first position.
[SHIFT] + [Right Arrow]: *)
Shift block cursor to field end.
[SHIFT] + [Left Arrow]: *)

Shift block cursor to field start.
*) Use these key combinations to step 20 digits to the right or left from current cursor
position. With fields of up to 20 digits, this corresponds to a step to field start or field
end.

b) Entering Characters
DISOMAT is always in Overwrite mode. The PC typical Insert mode is not

available.
Set cursor to input position.
If characters have already been entered, overwrite. You can also enter blanks to
delete digits.
After input of a character, cursor shifts one digit to the right and stops in last position.
When entering numbers, enter digit in the first column, and input field is deleted. This
eases input of new values.
To change numeric values, shift cursor to faulty digit. Inputs from second column
onward will act in overwrite mode.
c) Inserting Characters
Follow these steps (example):

Key Key Existing customer name: 'Meier', Display in dialog field
change to 'Meiser'
Set cursor to input position (here 'e')
Use key combination

[SHIFT] + [DOWN arrow]
to insert blank; any text right of cursor
is shifted to the right.
Overwrite blank with the character you
wish to insert (here the 's').
(d) Deleting Character
Follow these steps (example):

Key Key Existing customer name: 'Meiser', Display in dialog field
change to 'Meser'
Position cursor right of character you
wish to delete (here the 'i').
Delete character left of cursor using

key combination [SHIFT] + [UP
Arrow]. Any text right of cursor is
shifted to the left.

3.5.2.3 Entering characters via the input block
The character set that can be keyed in is distributed on 2 levels:
• 1. Level: This includes all characters shown on the buttons.

• 2. Level: Some buttons supply other characters beyond those shown (such as
'Ä' with [1] button ) *).
*)
The additional assignment depends on the selected dialog language.
Characters are entered in what is known as the ' scroll mode ' *). ALL possible
characters can be keyed in with this. They include
• the characters shown in white on the buttons
0 to 9 Numbers
_ Spaces
- Minus
, Comma
These characters can also be directly keyed in by (briefly) pressing

each button.
• the characters shown in yellow on the buttons
A to Z Upper-casel letters
! Exclamation mark
: Double point
| Vertical Line
. Point
$ Dollar sign
" Double quotation mark
+ Plus sign
/ Oblique
- Minus
• the characters not shown that can be reached with the [SHIFT] button such as
a to z Lower-case letters
Miscellaneous characters

You turn on the 'scroll mode' by keeping a button pressed for a longer period
of time. All of the characters available through this button are slowly overlaid
on the same cursor position one after the other ('scrolled'). Release the key
when the character you want appears. This enters the character and the
cursor jumps one position to the right.
Entering Numbers
Numeric values are checked for plausibility. If a value is rejected, error message is
output:
e.g Value > MAX (10)

Value < MIN (1)
The bracketed values represent the largest and smallest possible values.
An error message of this kind will disappear by itself after a few seconds, but it can
also be acknowledged immediately using the [ENTER] key. The previous value will
then be displayed and you can enter another value.
Entering Texts
Enter texts in form of strings. Normally, these are not checked for plausibility. So be
sure to enter useful values.
As already stated above, numbers may be entered in text form. This text can
be checked provided that the input uses a defined pattern, e.g. with function
'51:Date/Time' (see relevant item).
3.5.3 Setting Contrast

If required, display contract can be matched to ambient brightness. Independent on
operating mode, this setting and thus this key combination can be used at any time:
Increase display contrast

+
Decrease display contrast

Operating mode 'Normal Mode' can be called without password input. This mode
comprises:
Home Position Functions
These functions are designed for use in daily operation with no need for detailed
system knowledge. The daily user will primarily use the keys of the operating block.
• He will use weighing function keys, e.g. 'Zero Scale', 'Acquire Tare', 'Clear
Tare' to perform basic weighing functions.
Using function keys and residual keys, he can perform functions like 'Print
Weigh Slip', 'Acknowledge Event', etc.
• He can call up information on weighing mode in the dialog field in many ways.
• To check the system as such, he can start the integrated self-testing function.
• He can adjust display contrast to ambient brightness.
Menu Tree Functions
The skilled user will use further functions in daily operation which can be accessed
via the first and second menu tree level. Some of these functions can be called up by
function key operation.
Examples:
Enter: - Setpoint
- String
- Manual Tare
Select: - Fixed Tare
Display: - Gross
- Balance
- Software version
Start: - Print functions
Set: - Date
- Time

Normal Mode Functionality in Home Position
4.1 Functionality in Home Position
4.1.1 Zero Scale

Use function to set scale to zero.
After key operation, any zero point deviation (e.g. due to grime) is corrected on
relieved scale. Display reads 0.0 [unit]. In addition, symbol 0 is displayed.
Zero setting is possible only if
• Scale is not tared

• Gross weight of load on scale is within zeroing range
• Scale is in no-motion ( on display).
If this is not the case, an event message is output and display remains unchanged.
Sample application:
You are weighing vehicles with extremely dirty tyres. After several weighing
operations, scale platform is grimed. Empty scale indicates weight of grime in place of
zero. Use menu item to zero scale to prevent this from occurring.
4.1.2 Acquire Tare
After key operation, current GROSS weight of load on selected scale is stored
in the scale's tare memory. Every scale (1, 2, twin-unit) has its own tare
memory.
Attention: Existing values are overwritten.

Display reads 0.0 [unit] if NET display type has been selected (default). If the
display ist set to GROSS, the stored tare value is indicated by the 'T' symbol in
the display.
4.1.3 Display Tare
This key combination displays stored TARE weight of selected scale

for some seconds.
4.1.4 Clear Tare
Tare is set to 0 (selected scale's tare memory is cleared). NET = GROSS;

display shows weight of load on scale. Symbol 'T' or 'PT' effaces.

4.1.5 Acknowledge Event

Designed to inform you, the event messages must be observed. Depending on class
of event on DISOMAT, some messages efface after some seconds while others, e.g.
messages of the 'Warning', 'Alarm' and 'Fault' classes require to be acknowledged.
Use function to react on event messages.
Please note:
Never acknowledge event messages before cause of fault has been
removed.
'ACK' key
Key operation acknowledges the most significant event available. If current
privilege does not allow for acknowledgement, system automatically prompts
for input of a higher-privilege password.
For details on event messages, see Chapter 7.
4.1.6 Self-Test
Key operation starts self-test which automatically terminates after approx. 1

minute.
The following items are tested:
• Display
• Version
• Mode of selected scale
• Output of accuracy class III or IIII and serial number
• Display of legal-for-trade memory residual capacity and age of oldest
input
• Check number measurement (self-test of load cell measuring ciruit)
• DISOMAT serial number
• Internet key (INET)
• DISOBOX legal-for-trade counter readings
Attention: We recommend to operate this key at least once a day.
4.1.7 Function Keys

In combination with the [SHIFT] key, keys [F1] to [F6] ready 12 function keys that can
be assigned at will. The existing functionality depending on the particular scale
software, the possible key assignment is detailed in the description of the individual
scales given in Chapter 6.

DISOMAT® Tersus – Operating Manual
Normal Mode Functionality in Menu Tree
4.2.1 Fct. 1:Enter setpoint
When Is An Input Required?

This function is reserved for automatic filling processes and concerns filling scale,
discharge scale as well as individual linkages using the F-Feed or D-Feed function
blocks. With all other scales, no input is required.
ATTENTION:
Ensure that setpoint changes do not change actual fill value such that
overfill occurs.
What Can Be Entered?

For automatic filling processes, two data sets can be programmed and both Material
and Setpoint of the batch to be filled can be specified. The two data sets correspond
to the filling processes, both of which can be performed parallel, e.g. on scale 1 and
scale 2.
Admissible values are:
• Feeding: 1 and 2
o Material: [1 ... 10]
o Setpoint: [0 ... 99999.00 in display unit]
Operating Sequence
An input field appears upon starting:
1:Enter setpoint
Feeding 1
Enter the number of the data set (1 or 2) which you wish to set, and acknowledge with
the [ENTER] key.
Two further input fields appear:
1:Enter setpoint
Material 1
Setpoint 0,000kg
For 'Material', enter the number of the sort you wish to meter (1 ... 10; see
'473:Material data'), and progress to the next input field with the [ENTER] key.
For 'Setpoint', enter the desired setpoint.
Press the [OK] key to effect the changes.
4.2.2 Fct. 2:String input

In addition to weight, a string is an additional information (on print form), e.g. customer
name, material number, vehicle number.
Up to 5 different strings can be used. Designed for detailed identification of a weighing
operation, their meaning has to be predefined.
Enter relevant contents upon weighing. Some inputs remain constant for a longer
time, others require to be redefined or adapted upon every weighing (before printout).

For a string to appear on printout, the following prerequisites must be given:
• String must be defined (length, prompt) (see '464:String Name' function).

• String must be considered in form format (see '462:Form Formats' function).
• String must include text contents (see '2:Enter String' function).
The first two items belong to 'Setting Mode'; the last item is performed in 'Normal
Mode' and described here below.
Operating Sequence
After call of function, the first possible string appears in input field, e.g.
2:Enter String
Customer __________
Enter desired string, or change existing input.
Operate [ENTER] key, and the next possible string is offered, for you to edit.
Note:
1. You can enter the number of strings (max 5) defined upon system setting, i.e.
inputs are possible only for strings longer than 0.
2. Before input field, a text can be output (e.g. 'Customer:'). This prompt
indicates the desired string contents.
3. The inputs for a certain string remained stored until being overwritten.
4.2.3 Fct. 3:PRINT

You can connect a local or remote printer (monitored printer) to the DISOMAT and
print outputs using various formats.
After print fault, print command can be repeated. Printout is repeated with same print
text, weight, consecutive number, and other information. Print command can be
repeated as many times as required until next regular printout. You can also perform a
page feed on printer.
For relevant functions, see menu item '3:PRINT'.
The DISOMAT basic variant caters for six different form formats printed automatically
or selected by function key operation. For details, see items on individual scale types
in Chapter 6.
The form formats can be addressed either via menu tree function or key linkage. The
print result is the same.
You can change the form formats for 'Print 1' to 'Print 6' in "Setting Mode". Use
the '46:PRINT FORM' menu and select the '462:Form Formats' function.
In case of printing via menu tree, certain functions may be missing and are
additionally addressed upon printout via keyboard (e.g. reset balance upon
totals printout). We recommend to start printing via menu items only if the
description of the particular scale explicitly advises to do so.

Functions via menu tree:

Menu item Function
31:Print 1 Printing with form format 1
34:New Page Perform a page feed on printer
35:Print Repeat In case of printer fault (e.g. paper out, copies required), you can
repeat printing as many times as required.
ATTENTION: Print repeat through repeated pressing of the print

start key is not useful; depending on scale type, other functions can
be triggered which are not desired for print repeat.
39:L.f.T. memory 'paperless' printing into legal-for-trade memory
4.2.4 Fct. 5:SERVICE

Use this group of functions to perform, or check, some settings and perform some
tests without password.
• Set date/time
• Request version number
• Set display type
• Search legal-for-trade memory
• Select home position
• Select scale
• FILES
• Higher Range
• Activate DISOPLAN interface
4.2.4.1 Fct. 51:Date/Time

Use function to set the clock in DISOMAT. This makes good sense if a printer is
connected and time data are to be printed on print form, or permanently displayed in
dialog field.
Caution: Since your inputs are not checked semantically, even useless inputs, e.g.
41,22,92 are accepted. So strictly observe given format to prevent malfunctions from
occurring.
Note: If system is powered off, clock continues running for approx. 1 week provided
that system has been operating for minimum 30 hours.

Operating Sequence
After start of function current values are displayed:

51:Date/Time
Date 12.01.00
Time 17:15:30
Date input uses the format dd.mm.yy (dd=day, mm=month, yy=year).

In case of output, the year appears in 4-digit form.
Acknowledge with [ENTER] key.
Time input uses the format hh:mm:ss (hh=hour, mm=minute, ss=second).
New settings are effective after acknowledgement with [OK] key.
4.2.4.2 Fct. 52:Display version

This function shows characteristic information for your unit. This information is
important if you have questions for the manufacturer because this is the only way that
the service staff advising you knows what equipment you have.
Operating sequence:
When you press the [ENTER] button, information appears in the display in a
continuous*) sequence that is shown for a couple of seconds such as
*) You can use the [ENTER] or [OK] buttons to switch more quickly to the next inputs.

1 ... 6 1 The version designations of the software, hardware and
serial number, etc.
7 ... 67 2 Flash log file (max. of 60 entries)
Flash log file:

The entries from #7 show the history of the last registered loading processes with
information on who did load what software into the unit at what time.
The following is stored for each loading process (refer to #8a and #8b) such as
Line: Information: where:
31:DOp vww20700/002 31 = the number of the loading process
a
L:14.07.06 08:48 L = loading date/loading time
U:<DISOPLAN User> U = user (from the loading program)
b
C:Schenck Process GmbH C = Company (ditto)
4.2.4.3 Fct. 53:Display mode

Use function to determine the weight display default settings:
• Net [Net]
Normally, DISOMAT comes set for NET display provided that a tare value is
stored (T or PT symbol). If you clear tare memory, display automatically
changes to GROSS weight. After acquisition of a new tare value, display
returns to default. If you want to know GROSS weight, use the '7:Display
Gross' function.
• Gross [G]
Some weighing applications require the GROSS weight to be permanently
set. This is independent of tare memory. There is no menu item for NET
display.
After function select two input fields appear:

53:Display mode
Display Net
Stamping plate Yes
Display: Select between [Net | Gross].
NOTE: If 'Gross' display is set as default, call of the '7:Display Gross' function is
ineffective.
Stamping plate (descriptive plate): Select between [Yes | No]. Selection is possible
only after input of calibration password.
After [OK] this input field appears:
53:Display mode
Display light timeout ____0.0s
Enter the timeout before display background lighting goes out. Operate any key,
display reappears and timeout is reactivated.
Acknowledge with [OK] or [ENTER] key.

4.2.4.4 Fct. 54:Search in legal-for-trade memory

Use function for display and printout of weighing results stored in legal-for-trade
memory.
You can search for data
• stemming from a certain day date

• appertaining to a certain consecutive number
• including a certain text.
Operating Sequence
After call of function, three input fields appear:

54:Search in legal-for-trade memory
Date 01.01.00
Sequence no. 0
String
Field: Function:
Date Input of date; default value is always as shown.
Attention: Remember date input instructions given at the
'51:Datum/Uhrzeit'item.
Sequence no. Input of a consecutive number.
String Enter text to be searched in strings.
Start searching with [OK] key.
Result
If the search
• fails, display reads: 'No further entries found'.

• was successful, first data record found is displayed. Display other hits with
[ENTER] key.
When searching for data records, the 3 possible default settings are AND-
interlinked, i.e. system exclusively finds data records meeting all three
criteria. To do so, best restart function and leave default value in the input
field of the unused criterion (same effect as 'Ignore Field').
Exit function using [ABORT] or [OK] key.
Pressing of [OK] key lets you print the hits.
54:Search in legal-for-trade memory

Print No

You can select: [No| Last Display | All Inputs Found]:
• 'No': No printout
• 'Last entry': Print data record displayed last.
• 'All entries found': Print all data records meeting the selected criteria.
You can abort printing using any key.
4.2.4.5 Fct. 55:Select home position

This function is used to configure the so-called 'Home Position Display'.
'Home Position Display' refers to the unused area of the display beneath the weight
display in which values are permanently displayed when the DISOMAT is in the initial
position.
This 'Home Position Display' is not related to the 'initial position' of a weighing!
Once the function has been started, up to 7 lines can be defined for this display, e.g.
1 : Date/Time
2 : Date/Time
3 : Dividing line
4 : Tare
5 : Off
6 : Fctkey-Help 7-12
7 : Fctkey-Help 1-6
Acquire the data and exit the function with the [OK] key.
This menu can be entered directly from the initial position using the key-
combination [SHIFT]+[ENTER].
A detailed description can be found in the chapter 'Home Position Output'.
4.2.4.6 Fct. 57:Select scale

Use cursor keys to go to menu item
57:Select scale
Select scale Scale 1
Weight display shows currently connected scale (see Item 3.2.2 'Display Range').
For better handling this function is available twice. See also 'Setting Mode' ->
'Fct. 446:Select scale'.

4.2.4.7 Fct. 58:FILES
Menu items 58:SERVICE -> FILES are available after installation of option
'Road Weighbridge ZEUS' (see chapter 6).
4.2.4.8 Fct. 59:Set higher range

This function switches a multi-range scale into the next-higher range.
This is necessary when a road weigh bridge does not come to a standstill in
the small range due to wind.
It automatically switches back to the smallest range once the load is relieved.
4.2.5 Fct. 6:Display balance

Use menu item to display balance total.
NOTE: This display corresponds to the total of all 10 materials counters (see also
Format Variable 'BI'). Next display after balance total shows individual material totals.
When Does Summation Take Place?
• With Filling/Discharge Scale, balancing takes place automatically after every

filling/discharge operation.
• With all other scales, summation takes place upon printing (depending on
configuration).
What Is Summated?
Every operation increments the number of dumps by 1, and balance total by the
acquired weight value.
Operations are filling processes, aborted or completed, and all printing operations
started via keyboard or contact input.
No balancing takes place if printout is started using menu items '31:Print 1', '32:Print
2', '33:Print 3', '36:Print 4', '37:Print 5', '38:Print 6' and '35:Print Repeat'.
What Is Displayed?
You can display current balance total and current number of dumps.
Example
30 kg each time are filled. After 9 filling operations, balance total is 270 kg. Maximum
balance total is 280 kg.
You can enter balance total and maximum number of dumps at menu item '471:Max.
Balance/Dumps' after input of parameter password.

Operating Sequence
Function first displays current balance total, e.g.

6:Display balance
Balance 1256.0kg
Dumps 0
After operation of [OK] key, display shows current number of dumps, e.g.
6:Display balance
Material 1 0,0kg
Material 2 0,0kg
Material 3 0,0kg
Material 4 0,0kg
Material 5 0,0kg
Material 6 0,0kg
Function terminates with [OK] key.
4.2.6 Fct. 7:Display gross

Use function for brief display of current GROSS weight.
Prerequisite: Display currently shows NET weight.
Operating Sequence
7:Display gross
Right after operation of [ENTER] key, current GROSS weight is displayed (in weight
area) for some seconds.
Example:
You have filled a hopper; scale is tared and shows weight of good to be weighed
(=NET). You wish to briefly display totals weight (=GROSS) with no need to clear tare
memory. This function briefly outputs current GROSS weight before scale returns to
NET weight display.
4.2.7 Fct. 8:Select fixed tare

Use menu item to tare a stored value, i.e. you need not key in tare value but can
select from a list. List may comprise maximum 9 fixed tare values (Fix1 ... Fix9).
You will know a fixed tare value by the 'PT' symbol on display.
Selection of a fixed tare weight with 0.00 value has the same effect as 'Clear
Tare'.
For simple selection of fixed tare values, these require to be entered. This is
done in 'Setting Mode' (Parameter password) using the '48:Fixed tare input'
function.

Operating Sequence
After call of function, scroll field display always shows parameter 'Fix1'.
8:Select fixed tare
Fixed tare Fix1
Use DIRECTION KEYS to select other value, if you desire so. Acknowledge with
[ENTER], and the 'PT' symbol appears on display.
Example
You wish to acquire the weights of bulk solids (NET weight) stored in different hopper
types of 5 different weights. The weight of each hopper is always the same. You weigh
the filled hopper (GROSS weight) and select hopper weight using fixed tare value.
Advantage: You need not enter hopper weight in manual.
4.2.8 Fct. 9:Manual tare

Use menu item to enter tare value in manual. You will know 'Manual Tare Value' by
the 'PT' symbol on display.
Admissible input range: [ 0 ... full scale value]
Operating Sequence
Input field displays current value of tare memory:

9:Manual tare
Tare 1,00kg
Enter desired value. Acknowledge with [ENTER], and the 'PT' symbol appears on
display.
Example:
You wish to acquire the weight of a bulk solid (NET weight) stored in a drum. Drum
weight (TARE weight) is noted on drum. Weigh filled drum (GROSS weight) and enter
TARE weight in manual.
Advantage: You need not weigh empty drum before filling.

Setting Mode Functionality in Menu Tree

Setting Mode Safety Through Password Protection
5.1 Safety Through Password Protection

For safety reasons, access to functions is protected by a graded password system
designed to protect the DISOMAT settings.
In addition to the generally accessible area, there are further areas protected by
password:
• Parameter password for daily use
• Configuration password for commissioning
• Calibration password for weighing functions commissioning
• Restart password for restart ('Reset all' - For reloading of RAM, see Item
5.5).
• Service password for Schenck Process internal use only. Opens further
menu items reserved for authorized service engineers.
Every password is designed as 6-digit number.
To ease operation, the menu items relevant for the selected area do not
appear before sucessful password input.
We urgently recommend to use the password protected menu tree

areas only if you are sufficiently familiar with the function block
system.
With the use of the configuration password, for instance, function block
parameters can be changed. However, inadvertent changes can cause
severe faults, sometimes not immediately obvious. A connected control
system, if any, has the potential to cause severe injury or damage to the
machine.
The plant user must ensure that the passwords are used only by authorized
and skilled persons. If required, passwords must be removed from operating
manual, or changed.

5.1.1 Default Passwords

If you make this manual available to operators who shall not know all passwords, we

5.2.1 Fct. 46:PRINT FORM

Many weighing tasks require data, loaded, stored or acquired, to be printed.
DISOMAT is capable of controlling a printer directly.
What can be printed?
The following functions are available:
• A remote or local printer can be operated.
• In case of remote printer, system checks to see if data transfer and printout
have been successful. If not, system outputs an event message.
• The EDP message to be transferred after printout can be formatted.
• Six form formats are available, e.g. 'Single Printout', 'Sub-Total' and 'Total'.
These form formats can be addressed both via menu tree and function blocks
(Print1, Print2, Print3, Print4, Print5, Print6).
• If weigh data are output in list form, a header printout can be started for every
new page.
• The form format can be designed at will (division of page, information to be

printed).
• Single printouts can be started both using the function block linkage and in
menu tree.
• Input of a string varying from printout to printout (e.g. item number, vehicle
number) is possible using function blocks and in the dialog mode.
• After printer fault, the print job started last can be repeated with same text,
weight and consecutive number. Print command is repeated as many times as
required until next printout.
Handling print functions

For the stated options, DISOMAT readies a convenient printer control accessed from
four menu tree items:
• Menu item '2:Enter String'

See item 4.2.2.
• Menu '3:PRINT'
Starts the functions for start and repeat of printing in daily operation. Six form
formats are available ('31:Print 1', '32:Print 2', '33:Print 3, ''36:Print 4', '37:Print
5', '38:Print 6') that can be accessed at any time by function key operation or
via menu tree.
See Item 4.2.3.
• Menu '46:PRINT FORM'
See below.
You need not use the default form formats. To match the construction of printouts via
the '3:PRINT' menu, the variable form format function is available which you can use
to match formats to your requirements. You can reload default formats at any time
(default forms, default texts). However, your changes get lost.
The following items describe all functions the system readies for changing.

5.2.1.1 Fct. 461:Form Texts

For creation of image, the '462:Form formats' function uses various codes. Using code
'Sn' (n=1,2,3) one of three form texts can be inserted.
Form texts are preassigned as default. If other texts are required, you can match
these to your requirements using the described functions, and reload the default
settings at any time (see function: '469:Load Default Text').
Operating Sequence
Once the function has been called up the current form texts will be displayed, e.g.:
461:Form texts
1st Text Date Time #
2nd Text Truck
3rd Text Weight
To select a particular text, press the [ENTER] key (forwards) or the [SHIFT] +
[ENTER] keys (backwards) until the desired line has been reached.
To change a text, enter the desired characters and press the [ENTER] key.
Enter the 3 form texts in this manner.
There is a further method for reading out texts . If you need more form texts,
simply add text to form format (see '462:Form formats').

5.2.1.2 Fct. 462:Form Formats

The form formats below correspond to relevant function block and menu tree
functions:
Form Format Function Block Menu Tree Function

Form Format 1 Print1 '31:Print 1'
You can match these form formats to your requirements using the function described
here.
You can, e.g.
• Change form division

• Determine weigh data to be printed, e.g. Gross, Net, Tare, Balance)
• Determine additional texts to be printed.
NOTE: If no changes have been effected, system uses its default formats (see
function '468:Load Default Form').
Definitions
For better understanding, some terms shall be explained.
Term Definition
Form format Editable string whose contents determines the sequence of printout.
Format element Part of a form format (format variable, special character, additional
text). Format elements are separated by commas (max. 20 digits
between 2 commas).
Format variable A symbolic name (code) standing for the format element to be output
(e.g. 'BZ' for string).
Form text Editable string whose contents can be output through the format
variable in the form of 'Sn' (n=1,2,3). A form text is part of the form
format and is but seldom changed, e.g. company name.
Editing - Some Rules

When changing form format, observe the following rules:
• Ensure that codes are separated from one another by comma.

• Ensure that form format line length does not exceed 200 digits (including
commas).
• Ensure that the balance of all formats (i.e. incl. EDP Format) does not exceed
1000 digits.
• For editing inputs, observe the instructions given at Item 3.4.2 'Data
Input/Output'.
For details on codes used, see Code Table.

Additional Texts
If you need more form text, simply add additional text to form format. Position text
between two commas (max. 20 digits between 2 commas).
Example: You wish to print text "SCHENCK scale with DISOMAT". Coding in form
format is: 'SCHENCK scale, with DISOMAT' (see example below).
Attention: If the text between two commas exactly matches a code, this text, too, is
interpreted as code; this means that letter 'B' cannot be output alone being reserved
for a code symbol and interpreted as prompt for output of Gross weight. However, text
'Gross' can be output being interpreted now as text and not as code.
Operating Sequence
First go to input field and enter number of form format to be edited (admissible
values: 1 to 6), e.g.
462:Form Formats
Form Formats 1
Operate [ENTER] key, and input line displays current string. e.g.
462:Form Formats
Form1 P1,D,P10,U,P18,LN,P27,BZ,P40,B,T,N,F1
Change coding to your requirements and acknowledge with [ENTER] key. Selected
format is programmed.
Example
The 'Form1' sample shows how the change is effected.
'Form Format 1', e.g., creates the following printout

11.01.00 12:30 1234 DA-RC 30 123,45kg G 67,89kg T
55,56kg Net
and consists of code: P1,D,P10,U,P18,LN,P27,BZ,P40,B,T,N,F1
Code elements are defined as under:

Code Meaning Example
P1 Go to column 1
D Output current date 11.01.00
P10 Go to column 10
U Output current time 12:30
P18 Go to column 18
LN Output consecutive number of weighing 1234
P27 Go to column 27
BZ Output (entered) string DA-RC 30
P40 Go to column 40
B Output Gross weight 123.45kg G
T Output Tare weight 67.89kg T
N Output Net weight 55.56kg Net
F1 1 * page feed

You wish to change format such that
• additional text 'SCHENCK scale with DISOMAT' appears in first line left-flush
• tare value is no longer output.
Printout is to look like thus:

SCHENCK scale with DISOMAT
<Blank>
11.01.00 12:30 1234 DA-RC 30 123.45kg G 55.56kg Net
Relevant code is constructed as follows (changes are boldface printed):

U Output current time, e.g.: 23:59
Yn Output <n> line feeds on printer; n = 1 ... 99;
Y2, e.g., creates 2 line feeds.
Addition of ":d" to the code variable (e.g. BZ:4) limits the output to the left "d" digits of
the variable contents.
":d" has NO influence on code variables B, T, N, NE and LN relevant for certified
applications.

5.2.1.3 Fct. 463:Page Header Format

Use menu item to match current page header format.
ATTENTION: Function '469:Load Default Text' replaces your changes by the

default settings.
After form feed, a page header is output on printer on top of every page. This is of
advantage if your printout covers more than one page.
A new page starts if
• function '34:New Page' is executed via menu tree

• code 'Fn' is output via form format
• internal line counter set by parameter 'Page Lines' has reached set value
(see function '4333:Printer').
Line counter is reset to value '1'.
Operating Sequence
After start of function, input field for presetting of header text format for output in list
form opens:
463:Page Header Format

Page Header Format Y5,P1,S1,P27,S2,P40,S3,Y2___
You can use the formatting codes described with function '462:Form Formats'.
Example: See function '468:Load Default Form'.
5.2.1.4 Fct. 464:String Name

In normal mode, the operator can use function '2:Enter String'' to enter data for max. 5
strings. These data appear on printout in place of code 'BZ' or 'BZn' (with n=1...5). To
protect formatting from inappropriate operator input, limit input length and inform the
operator about the desired contents by a suitable hint.
Enter here
• maximum number of input digits (boundary condition 1)

• input hint for the operator (boundary condition 2).
Operating Sequence
Since 5 different strings can be used in DISOMAT, first enter number of string whose
boundary conditions you wish to set (admissible values: 1 to 5):
464:String names
String Number 1

Press [ENTER] to open the input fields for boundary condition:

464:String Name
Length 12
Prompt Kunde
If need be, change admissible length (e.g. to 12 digits). Operate (ENTER] key to go to
second boundary condition input field.
If need be, edit hint as desired (e.g. 'Customer:'). This string may have max. 11 digits.
Added automatically, a blank at the end needs not be considered.
Follow these steps for input of residual string numbers.

Acquire changes with [OK] key.
Example:
You wish the operator to receive the input prompt 'Material:' and know that maximum
two digits can be entered. Determine:
• Length: 2
• Input hint: 'Material:'
Upon string input, the operator receives the display below and can enter maximum
two digits: 'Material: __'.
5.2.1.5 Fct. 465:EDP Format

Use menu item to determine the weigh data to be transferred to user's EDP system.
The string format consists of a fixed and a variable component. Format variable part
using this function. Use the symbolic names used for form formatting. However,
separate single format variables by '#' or a blank.
For so-called fixed format codes, see 'Data Communication Manual (BV-
H2359), Chapter 'EDP Communication', "DR" command.
ATTENTION: Reset so-called variable format codes to default values

using function '468:Load Default Form'.
Operating Sequence
The input field shows the format string currently stored, e.g.
465:EDP-Format
EDP-Format D4,#,U,#,LN,#,NE
If need be, change format and acknowledge with [ENTER] key.
Example:
If you use the above EDP format, string is output in the following format:
01#DR#1#0#C0#2000-01-11#10:58#17#123,45kg Net
¦-- Fixed ---¦---------- Variable ------------¦

5.2.1.6 Fct. 466:Legal-For-Trade Memory Format

The legal-for-trade memory format determines the information per input to be stored in
legal-for-trade memory. The format consists of a fixed and a variable part.
The fixed element comprises:
• Date
• Time
• Consecutive number
• Gross
• Net
• Tare
• Scale status (4 digits)
Use function to determine the variable elements thus defining the additional
information to be stored per input. To do so, use the rules and codes for form
formatting (see '462:Form Formats').
Operating Sequence
Input field displays (default) format string:

466:L.f.T. Format
L.f.T. Format BZ____________________
In addition, the first string (code BZ = BZ1) is stored in legal-for-trade memory.
Change format and acknowledge with [ENTER] key.
5.2.1.7 Fct. 467:Reset Consecutive Number

Use menu item to reset parameter 'Consecutive number of weighing' to '0'.
Consecutive number increments by 1 after every printout performed automatically or

manually, via keyboard or menu tree.
NOTE: There is no relation between parameters 'Consecutive number of weighing'

and 'Max. Balance/Dumps'.
Operating Sequence
After start of function, system outputs the following safety prompt:

467:Reset cons. no.
Acknowledge Yes__
Acknowledge with [ENTER] key or select 'No'.

5.2.1.8 Fct. 468:Load Default Form

inputs and outputs can be used. This is not a standard DISOMAT option.
The connection to the matching station is made with the XAE on the VFE
0450 circuit board (mainboard, see BVH2334 System Manual).
General Operating Sequence for Inputs and Outputs

First, an options menu appears first asking whether an input or an output is to be
calibrated:
Type Output
Select = 'Output' or 'Input' and acknowledge with the [ENTER] key.

Then another field appears, asking which of the two inputs or outputs is to be
calibrated:
Number 1
Enter = '1' or '2' and acknowledge with the [ENTER] key.
A field then appears, in which a calibration range or the reset function is selected:
Range 0-20mA
Select = '0-20mA' or '4-20mA' or 'Reset' *).
The remainder of the sequence depends on whether an input or an output has been
selected.
*)
Selecting the Reset function will discard the calibration. This is necessary if, e.g.,

• the scales are producing implausible values (e.g. due to a previous calibration
fault) or
• if the VEA 0450 is replaced. After replacement a recalibration may be
necessary.
Calibrating an Output
An ammeter can be connected to the XAO port (VEA 0450) for calibration.
As analog signal, one of multiple value variables (weight, balance, ...) can be
selected.
The calibration function is used to read out the initial and terminal values of the
selected range (e.g. 0 ... 20 mA).
The values read on the ammeter,
• e.g. 1 mA, measured at the 0 mA threshold

• e.g. 19 mA, measured at the 20 mA threshold
must be entered.
The device will correctly calibrate the output to 0 ... 20 mA.
The range 4 ... 20 mA may also be calibrated.
Operating Sequence
Press the [ENTER] key after selecting the range. An input field appears:
AnalogOut mA 0.000 or 4.000
Enter the measured current value.
Regardless of the calibration range, the limit values range between -4 mA ...
+8 mA. If the value measured lies outside the range of limit values, please
inspect the peripheral devices connected.
A further input field will appear after acknowledging with the [ENTER] key:
AnalogOut mA 20.000
Enter the measured current value.
Permissible limit values for 20 mA: Min. Max.
16.000 24.000
Acknowledge with the [ENTER] key.
The operation is complete.

Calibrating an Input
This calibration is performed on commissioning.
Operating Sequence
Press the [ENTER] key after selecting the range.
You will be prompted to switch on the lower value:
Support 0 mA -> OK/ESC
Apply the corresponding level and press the [OK] key *).
You will now be requested to switch on the upper value:

Support 20 mA -> OK/ESC
Apply the corresponding level and press the [OK] key *).
*) If the current level applied is outside of the limit range, a notification will be made
and the function will be aborted.

Setting Using Calibration Password
5.4.1 Fct. 44:SCALE

Calibrating Scale:
With certified scales, the stamp (with DISOMAT Tersus located on scale
connector,Dongle) has to be removed for recalibration. If calibration is
complete, new stamping is required (see Item 5.4.8).
With the DISOMAT Tersus, the calibration parameters are physically protected
from changes if the calibration jumper is set to "write protect". Jumper can be
accessed only if the stamp is removed (see above).
If a DISOBOX is present, calibration jumper can remain set to "write enable".
Parameters are protected by a legal-for-trade memory incrementing upon any
parameter change.
The legal-for-trade counter readings at the time of verification are indicated on
stamping plate and can be compared with current counter readings (TEST
key). If counter readings differ from one another, new stamping is required.
Therefore, avoid inadvertent changes to parameters (Calibration password).
For additional protection, set DISOBOX calibration jumper to "write protect".

Calibration parameters
Calibration parameters are divided into two blocks.
First enter Block 1 parameters. Change parameter and acknowledge with [ENTER] to
go to next parameter. After last parameter of Block 1, program returns to the first, for
you to change.
Block 1 parameters:
• Unit
• Maximum value [act. dim.]
• Digit [act. dim.]
• Setting difference
• Zeroing range
• Overrange
• Mechanical factor (*)
• Adjustment Factor (*)
• Rated capacity (*)
• Number of L/Cs (*)
• L/C-C [mV/V] (*)

• Deadweight (*)
• L.f.T.
• Twin-unit active (available only if twin-unit is connected).
When connecting a DISOBOX, the (*)-parameters are shifted from menu item
'441:Calibration parameters' to menu item '4472:Channel'.
Terminate calibration parameter input in Block 1 with [OK] key to acquire changes.
Brief display is output, e.g. 'Increments 3000'. If you exit function with [ABORT] key,
changes are not acquired.
Operate [ENTER] key, and Block 2 calibration parameters are offered, for you to
change.
• Scale identific.
• Class
• g-deviation [per thousand]
• User def. min.load [act. dim.]
Acknowledge calibration parameter input in Block 2 with [OK] key, and changes are
stored. Exit function with [ABORT] key, and changes get lost.
Function is terminated.
Second block is displayed if Scale 1 is connected or user-defined minimum

load has been changed.
5.4.3.2 Parameter 'Unit'
Display: Unit kg
Selection: t - ton
kg - kilogram (= default)
g - gram
lb - pound
kN - kilonewton
N - newton
Function: Determines the weight unit in your DISOMAT. This holds for
the input of all parameters (e.g. Pre contact, Main Contact)
and for the weight display (home position).
The 2-channel variant has only one unit that can exclusively
be entered into the Scale 1 calibration parameters. With
Scale 2 and Twin-Unit, the input is inhibited and preassigned
with the unit of Scale 1.
Ausnahme: Calibration parameter 'Rated capacity' is
always displayed in kg.

5.4.3.3 Parameter 'Maximum value [act. dim.]'
Display: Maximum value [act. dim.] 1000,000

Input: Any value from 0,1 9000000
Default = 1000,000
Function: Defines full scale value. With multi-range or multi-divisional
scales, value refers to the big range.
Attention: Parameter 'Maximum value [act. dim.]' is directly
related to parameter 'Digit [act. dim.]'. Both values have to
coincide!
With the 2-channel variant, the twin-unit's full scale value
determines the normalization in function blocks.
Therefore, if twin-unit is deactivated, always enter the
highest full scale value.
The two full scale values for scales 1 and 2 must not differ
by more than 1:2.5 (for data normalization in function blocks).
5.4.3.4 Parameter 'Digit [act. dim.]'
Display: Digit [act. dim.] 0,500

Input: Any value from 0,001 bis 1000
Default = 0,500
Function: Defines increment value and thus resolution of scale.
Comments: Increment value, together with parameter Full Scale Value,
determines the number of scale increments.
Increments = Full scale value/increment value
Possible are increments of 1; 2; 5.
IIf entered increment is not useful, event message
'W1211:Digit wrong' is output.
5.4.3.5 Parameter 'Setting difference'
Display: Setting difference 1d

Selection: 0d; 1d; 2d; 4d;
Default = 1d
Enter increment value.
Function: Together with parameter No-motion time defines when scale
is to recognize no-motion.
No-motion is recognized if values measured during no-motion
time do not differ from values measured last by more than no-
motion difference allows.
Comments: Enter 'No-motion time' at menu item '444:Scale parameters'.
If parameter 'L.f.T.' = Yes, only input '1d' is admitted.

5.4.3.6 Parameter 'Zeroing range'
Display: Zeroing range 4%

Selection: 0%; 2%; 4%; 10%; 20%;
Default = 4%
Function: Together with parameter 'Maximum value' defines the range
available for zero setting.
Enter value in percent of full scale.
Comments: Weighing range is not restricted by zero setting.
Zeroing range is asymmetrical to zero point:
2% = -0,5 .... +1,5
4% = -1,0 .... +3,0
10% = -2,5 .... +7,5
20% = -10,0 .... +10,0
If parameter 'L.f.T.' = Yes, only inputs to max. 4% are
admitted.
5.4.3.7 Parameter 'Overrange'
Display: Overrange 9d
Selection: 100%; 101%; 102%; 110%; 9d
Default = 9d
Enter value in % or d (digit). With certified scales: 9d
"d" refers to the number of digits, or smallest possible
resolution of weighing range. This value corresponds to the
scale increment value.
Function: Relative to parameter Full Scale Value, defines what weight
above full scale value is displayed still. If weight of load
exceeds overrange, symbol "oooooo" is displayed provided
that Parameter ' Legal-for-Trade' is set to Yes. If 'Legal-for-
Trade' is set to 'No', you will know the overrange by the T
symbol; the weight value continues being displayed.
5.4.3.8 Parameter 'Mechanical factor'
Display: Mechanical factor 1,000

Input: Any value from 0,1 to 99999
Default = 1,00
Enter value without unit.
Function: The mechanical factor considers the mechanical scale
construction, e.g. transmission, lever, and load application
ratios.
Mechanical factor = Load on scale / load on load cell
Comments: With scales with no load reduction or transmission ratio,
factor is 1.0000.
Value < 1.0000: Load reduction ratio
Value > 1.0000: Load transmission ratio
Not with twin-unit.

Examples for 'Mechanical factor':

A hopper scale is placed on one load cell and two pivots. If load cells
are arranged rotation-symmetrically, and the two pivots around a
round-shaped hopper with mid center of gravity ( load carrier to 3 x
120°) the load is distributed to 1/3 each:

Hopper
Récipient
Fmech = =2
Recipiente
50 %

Cella pesatrice 25 %
Festlager
Pivot

Supporto fisso
This load distribution is caused by the different spacing of
• load cells (1/2 side length)

• pivots (1/2 diagonal)
from hopper centre of gravity, i.e. the three support points do not form
any equilateral triangle. For theoretical calibration, value 2 results.
When designing the load cell, its load must be properly considered.
Any other case, e.g. rectangular hoppers with unsymmetrical load

distribution, must be derived either from precise geometric
consideration or at best calibrated with the use of a pre-weighed
medium (liquid) filled into hopper.
ATTENTION: Upon calibration with weights, ensure that the mid

center of gravity position is precisely kept.

5.4.3.9 Parameter 'Adjustment Factor'
Display: Adjustment Factor 1,00000

Input: Any value from 0,9 to 1,1
Default = 1
Considers F-calib. scatterings in load cell characteristic
values, or scale mechanics total characteristic value.
System acquires parameter value during range calibration
(see menu item '4453:Range').
'Adjustment Factor' = Test weight / displayed weight
Not with twin-unit
5.4.3.10 Parameter 'Rated capacity'
Display: Rated capacity 1000kg

Input: 1 - 999999
Default = 1000
Input always in [kg]
Function: Indicates rated capacity of load cells used.
If a load cell is loaded with its rated capacity, it will output as
measuring signal, at 1V supply voltage, the voltage
corresponding to its load cell characteristic (parameter 'L/C-C
[mV/V]').
Comments: Enter always in kg. Rated capacity indications with other units
must be converted into kg.
Not with twin-unit
5.4.3.11 Parameter 'Number of L/Cs'
Display: Number of L/Cs 1

Input: Any value from 1 to 20
Default = 1
Function: Indicates number of load cells used.
Pivots, if any, do not count.
Not with twin-unit
5.4.3.12 Parameter 'L/C-C [mV/V]'
Display: L/C-C [mV/V] 2,85

Default = 2,85
Function: Load cell characteristic (rated characteristic) indicates the
output voltage (measuring signal) a load cell supplies as a
function of supply voltage, if loaded with its rated capacity.
Not with twin-unit

5.4.3.13 Parameter 'Deadweight'
Display: Deadweight 0,00kg

Input: Any value from 0 to ± 999999
Default = 0,00
Function: Dead weight means the weight of scale mechanics (weight of
empty scale) acting on load cells in addition to effective load,
i.e. the load to be weighed.
Dead weight is acquired during dead weight calibration and
stored as calibration parameter 'Deadweight'.
Besides the Calibration Factor, it is one of the two
parameters that need not be entered.
Merely in theoretical calibration, correct dead weight value
has to be entered in manual.
Not with twin-unit
5.4.3.14 Parameter 'L.f.T.'
Display: L.f.T. Yes

Selection: Yes; No
Default = Yes
Function: The legal-for-trade status determines whether the scale is
subject to official verification or not. This affects various
monitoring and display functions of your scale.
This parameter is available only for Scale 1.

Display: Twin-unit active Yes

Selection: Yes; No
Default = Yes
Function: This parameter activates/deactivates the DISOMAT twin-unit.
This parameter is available only with the two-channel variant.
The information below refers to Block 2 displayed only if scale 1 is

connected.
5.4.3.16 Parameter 'Scale identific.'
Display: Scale identific. -------

Input: Any text, max. 7 digits; e.g. 'Scale 1'
Function: Defines the name of your scale.

5.4.3.17 Parameter 'Class'
Display: Class Trade scale Cl.III

Selection: Trade scale Cl.III
Coarse Scale Cl.IIII
SWA
User defined minimum load
Function: Defines the scale accuracy class. Depending on application,
minimum load, etc. may change.
5.4.3.18 Parameter 'g-deviation [per thousand]'
Display: g-deviation [per thousand] + 0,000

Input: Deviation in per mil in accordance with formula:
Value = 1000 × (G-calibration site - G-
mounting site) ÷ G-calibration site
Default = 0
Function: Described during verification in the manufacturer's works, this
parameter corrects the difference in gravitational force
existing between verification and mounting sites. Relevant
are geographical latitude and sea level.
If verification takes place at the mounting site (normal case),

parameter is always zero.
5.4.3.19 Parameter 'User def. min.load [act. dim.]'
Display: User def. min.load [act. dim.] 0,00

Input: Minimum load on scale in current unit
Default = 0
Function: This parameter determines the MIN value of the electronic
stamping plate provided that parameter 'Class' has been set
to 'User defined minimum load'.
5.4.4 Fct. 442:Special Scales

DISOMAT knows three operating modes:
• Single-range scale (Normal scale)

• Multi-range scale (2 or 3 ranges)
• Multi-divisional scale (2 or 3 ranges)
Unlike the normal scale, the multi-range or multi-divisional scale has multiple weighing
ranges:
• with 2 ranges: small and big range;

• with 3 ranges: small, medium and big range).
Calibration and scale parameters are identical for all ranges, except Maximum value
and Digit.

Enter big range parameters in the exact same ways as the single-range scale
parameters; small range or medium range parameters, at menu item '442:Special
scales'.
With two ranges, range and increment value can be set for the medium
range; however, this is of no influence.
Parameters
Parameters to be set:
• Type
• Maximum value Small Range [act. dim.]
• Digit [act. dim.] small range
• Maximum value Medium Range [act. dim.]
• Digit [act. dim.] medium range
Parameter input for multi-range/multi-divisional scales is identical.
Display and Printout

The currently active range is highlighted in the upper display line.
Ex.: Max 80/200kg
i.e., 80 highlighted means that small
range, here: 80 kg, is active.
Change-over of range has no effect on display and printout. Display always shows the
after-comma places of the small range. When defining ranges and increment value,
have in mind that maximum 6 places plus comma (e.g. 1000.00) are available in the
display.

5.4.4.1 Parameter 'Type'
Display: Type Standard

Selection: Standard
Multi res (2 rng)
Multi range (2 rng)
Multi res (3 rng)
Multi range (3 rng)
Default = Standard
Function: Enter scale type.
• With the multi-divisional scale, change-over from smaller to next bigger

range takes place if weight value exceeds switching value (smaller range full
scale value). Return to next small range takes place if switching point is
exceeded down. After taring, scale operates in small range related to Net
weight. This mode requires special load cells (e.g. SCHENCK RTN MI load
cells).
The maximum manual/fixed tare input is limited to the full scale value of the
smallest range.
• With the multi-range scale, change-over from smaller to next bigger range
takes place if weight value exceeds switching value. Return to small range
takes place only if scale is relieved to exact zero (+¼ d). Tare values, if any,
are deleted.
Taring has no impact on range (Gross related).
5.4.4.2 Parameter 'Small Range [act. dim.]' (maximum value)
Display: Small Range [act. dim.] 300,000

Default = 300
Function: Defines the full scale value of the small range.
This parameter is directly related to parameter 'Digit [act.
dim.]'.
Both values have to coincide.

5.4.4.3 Parameter 'Digit [act. dim.]' (small range)

Default = 0,1
Function: Defines increment value and thus the resolution of the small
range.
Comments: Together with parameter 'Small Range [act. dim.]' this
parameter defines the number of increments of the small
range.
Increment value is calculated thus:

Number of increments = full scale value/increment value
Possible are increments of 1; 2; 5.
If the increment entered is not useful, event message
5.4.4.4 Parameter 'Medium Range [act. dim.]' (maximum value)
Display: Medium Range [act. dim.] 300,000

Input: Any value between 1,000 to 1000000
Default = 300
Function: Defines medium range full scale value.
Parameter 'Digit [act. dim.]' is directly connected with
parameter 'Medium Range [act. dim.]'.
Ensure that the two values coincide!
5.4.4.5 Parameter 'Digit [act. dim.]' (medium range)

Input: Any value between 0,001 to 1000,000
Default = 0,1
Function: Defines increment value and thus also the medium range
increment value.
Comments: Together with parameter 'Medium Range [act. dim.]' defines
the medium range increment value.
Increment value is computed as follows:
Number of increments = full scale value/increment value
Increments values 1, 2 and 5 are possible.
If the entered increment value is not useful, event message

Selection: 0,06s; 0,10s; 0,15s; 0,22s; 0,33s; 0,47s; 0,68s; 1,00s; 1,50s;
2,00s; 3,30s; 4,70s;
Default = 0,15s
Function: Limit value monitoring.
Defines filter time for weights used for fast comparator and
for batching.
With increasing filter time, scale monitoring becomes slower.
Value to be set depends on external vibrating effects at scale
location (e.g. mechanical vibrations).
Not with twin-unit

5.4.5.3 Parameter 'Display filter'
Display: Display filter 0,47 s

Selection: 0,06s; 0,10s; 0,15s; 0,22s; 0,33s; 0,47s; 0,68s; 1,00s; 1,50s;
2,00s; 3,30s; 4,70s
Default = 0,47s
Function: Determines filter time for weight values shown on display.
Function blocks, EDP and no-motion transmissions also use
the filtered weight values.
With increasing filter time, scale monitoring becomes slower.
Value to be set depends on external vibrating effects at scale
location (e.g. mechanical vibrations).
Not with twin-unit
5.4.5.4 Parameter 'No-motion time'
Display: No-motion time 1,0s

Default = 1,0
Function: Together with parameter 'Setting difference' (legal-for-trade
parameter), defines when scale is to recognize no-motion.
Rule of thumb: No-motion time ≥ 0.8 * Display filter
System recognizes no-motion if values measured during no-

motion time do not differ by more than the no-motion
difference of the value measured last.
No-motion is indicated in weight display by the symbol.
5.4.5.5 Parameter 'Set to 0'
Display: Set to 0 No
Selection: No = no zero-setting (default)
Autom. Zero-setting = zero-setting active
Zero tracking = the scale sets zero when it is in the zero
setting range and gross was 5 s < 0*)
Function: Defines whether scale in zeroing range is automatically set to
zero.
The following conditions apply:
1. Scale in no-motion for at least 1 second. (See no-

motion conditions at parameter 'No-motion time').
2. Weight deviation from current zero point within ± ½ d.

3. Weight change during last second smaller than 0.5
d/s.
4. New zero point still within zeroing range (see
parameter 'Zeroing range'). Excessive zero point
shifts are displayed as weight.
*)
If you select Zero Tracking, conditions 2 and 3 are no
longer relevant to negative weights.

5.4.5.6 Parameter 'Switch delay'
Display: Switch delay 1,0s

Default = 1,0
Function: Defines the switching delay of the multi-range/multi-divisional
scale required for change-over from one range to the other.
This helps to avoid range change-over caused by short
weight shocks (e.g. caused by application of load on scale).
Change-over takes place when no-motion is reached or time
has elapsed.
Comments: Switching delay is relevant only with multi-divisional and/or
multi-range scales.
5.4.5.7 Parameter 'dW/dt filter [s]'
Display: dW/dt filter [s] 2,00

Input: Any value between 0 .. 30000
Default = 2,00
Function: Defines filter time for weight change display.
5.4.6 Fct. 445:CALIBRATION

During calibration, the scale dead weight is acquired, and the range calibrated with the
use of calibration weights. In certain cases, the scale can also be calibrated
"theoretically", i.e. without calibration weights (computational range calibration).
Before starting dead weight and span calibration, the weighing system must have
been operating for at least 30 minutes, for load cells to reach operating temperature.
If need be, perform corner adjustment. Corner adjustment is important whenever a

scale equipped with multiple load cells can be loaded asymmetrically (see, e.g.,
Manual DKI200).
5.4.6.1 Essential Operating Steps
• Calibrate dead weight (Menu Item '4451:Deadweight').

• Calibrate range using weights (Menu Item '4453:Range').
• Special case: Theoretically calibrate range (see Item 'Theoretical Range
Calibration')
• Special case: Linearize scale characteristic (Menu Item '4452:Linearization').
• Check calibration result.

After input of calibration parameters, event message 'A1911:Measurement

voltage too high' can be output.
This alarm occurs with small load cell utilization and high dead weight. Dead
weight compensation offsets the high dead weight and the weighing
electronics properly operates. If dead weight calbiration is complete, weight
display reads '0' and the alarm can be acknowledged.
5.4.6.2 Fct. 4451:Deadweight

The dead weight is the constant weight of a scale construction (e.g. empty hopper,
weighing platform) acting on load cells. See also calibration parameter 'Deadweight').
'Deadweight' has nothing to do with the 'Taring' function.
Ensure that scale is unloaded. Using this menu item, the system computes
'Deadweight' parameter and enters value automatically. Ever after, this weight value is
subtracted from measurement value, so that actual weight of load on scale is
displayed.
Operating Sequence
4451:CALIBRATION

After some seconds, display reports exit to function:

4451:Deadweight
Deadweight OK
Check: If tare memory is cleared, empty scale display must read 0,0 (kg | t | g | lb | N |
kN).
5.4.6.3 Fct. 4453:Range

If dead weight calibration is complete, apply known calibration weight (50...100% of
range full scale value) to scale, select '4453:Range' and enter calibration weight value.
System computes calibration factor from entered and measured weights and enters
value into parameter list (see calibration parameter 'Adjustment Factor').
Designed as correction factor, parameter 'Adjustment Factor' is considered with any

future measurement value.
If no event message is output, calibration is complete. If an event message is output
(e.g. range error), remove fault and repeat calibration process.
Range calibration is performed automatically after start of function.

Operating Sequence
Apply calibration weight to scale.

Range
Range value input field opens, e.g.:

4453:Range

Enter calibration weight (e.g. 50 kg) and acknowledge with [ENTER] key.
The admissible value range depends on the value entered for calibration
parameter 'Maximum value'.
Display reads
4453:Range
Range active
while range is being calibrated.
If display reads
4453:Range
Range OK
range calibration is complete.
Function terminates automatically.
If
4453:Range
Range: Error <###>
is output, measuring module no longer produces the required accuracy.
Repeat range calibration using new measuring module.
5.4.6.4 Fct. 4454:Set current range

This function switches a multi-range scale in the smallest range valid for the current
weight reading.
5.4.6.5 Fct. 4455:Corner adjustment
Only available with DISOBOX!
See chapter 'Calibrating DISOBOX'.

5.4.6.6 Computational Range Calibration

Scales for in-plant use can also be calibrated theoretically. This method makes good
sense whenever weight calibration is difficult to perform (e.g. with mixer scales).
In place of dead weight and range calibration, you enter calibration parameters
'Deadweight' and 'Adjustment Factor' by hand.
We recommend to perform a check with material.
5.4.6.7 Setting Range With Multi-Range Scale

The setting of parameter 'Type' (=Scale Type; see Menu Item '442:Special scales')
defines if your scale operates as multi-range or multi-divisional scale. Calibrate multi-
range or multi-divisional scale in the exact same way as you are accustomed to doing
with a standard scale.
Please note that the range calibration uses the range with the highest full scale value.
Partial ranges are not calibrated. Deviations can be corrected by linearization.
5.4.6.8 Fct. 4452:Linearization

The 'Linearization' function permits the scale characteristic to be corrected in three
support points (25%, 50%, 75% of full scale value) by up to ± 9.9 increments.
Before performing linearization, calibrate scale dead weight and range.
Determining characteristic
Determine characteristic deviation in each support point and enter value.
• Apply 25% of range as calibration weight.

• Read actual weight and note value.
• Calculate correction value in increments (increment e stands topleft on
display) using this formula:
Correction value = (Setpoint - actual weight) / Increment value

(with multi-divisional/multi-range scales, increment value of big range)
• Enter correction value in increments at menu item '4452:Linearization'.

• Check deviation. If necessary, repeat.
Resume from next support point (50 %, 75 %).
Example
You have a scale with 600 kg weighing range and 0.2 kg increment value (i.e. with
3000 increments).
Upon linearization, scale at support point 50 % (= 300 kg) shows a value of 300.28. To
linearize scale, calculate correction value in increments (not in kg) using above
formula and enter value:
Correction value = (300.00kg - 300.28kg) / 0.2kg = -0.28 / 0.2 = -1.4
The correction value to be entered is -1.4.

5.4.6.9 Checking Calibration
Check Using Weight

Scale calibration is normally followed by a check using staggered weights. For legal-
for-trade scales, definite Board of Trade regulations have to be observed.
With non-legal-for-trade scales, we suggest to use weights of 25%, 50% and 75% of
full scale value. If unlinearity is detected, you can correct characteristic using the
'Linearization' function (see Menu Item '4452:Linearization').
Check Using Material

With theoretically calibrated scales, a check using calibration weights is often difficult
to perform. In this case, a check using material is recommended.
Weigh a good on your calibrated scale. Its weight should amount to at least 50% of
maximum range. Check this weight on an accurate reference scale. If need be, you
can correct the 'Adjustment Factor', until the two weight indications coincide. If values
differ by multiple percent, an error has occurred.
5.4.7 Fct. 443:Configure l.f.t. memory

Alternatively to the legal-for-trade printout on a connected (redundant) printer,
DISOMAT offers the possibility to store the legal-for-trade weigh data in an optional
memory (Legal-For-Trade Memory VMM20450) or in a connected PC. (For
DISOSAVE program, see also Spec Sheet BV-D2045).
If 'L.f.T. memory' is set to 'Off', legal-for-trade results must be printed on paper.

Maximum value: 5 * 365 days
Function: Defines minimum storage period of legal-for-trade values in
days. Relevant only if local legal-for-trade memory
VMM20450 is used.
The two MB internal legal-for-trade memory can store approx.

500 weighing operations per day over a period > 90 days. If
legal-for-trade memory is full and contains legal-for-trade
data younger than 90 days, an event message is output.
DISOMAT cannot be used for certified applications at the
time being.
Note: If legal-for-trade memory is used and weigh data storage fails, an event
message is output (A2305:Legal-for-trade memory FULL).

5.4.9 Fct. 447:DISOBOX

It is possible to connect the scales to DISOMAT using the external DISOBOX
converter module normally installed near the scale.
The load cell measurement values are digitalised and transferred to DISOMAT via a
serial interface compatible for bus.
For optional connection of DISOBOX, DISONET is used as Slave 1 or, with 2
DISOBOX units, as Slave 2.
The configuration described below assumes that the DISOBOX unit(s) are physically
connected to DISOMAT and that DISONET has been properly configured
(43321:Disonet mode, 43322:Slavelist).
Connect DISOBOX takes place on interface S1 or S2. The following interface settings
(432:Interfaces) have to be established for good:
Physics RS485 2-wire
Baud rate 38400
Handshake Off
Data 8bit no

5.4.9.1 Fct. 4471:Configuration

5.4.9.1.1 Parameter 'Count of DISOBOXES'
Display: Count of DISOBOXES 0

Input: 0, 1, 2
Function: Lets you acquire the number of DISOBOX units connected to DISOMAT.
If one (1) DISOBOX is connected, up to two DISOBOX groups are treated as Scales 1
and 2 in DISOMAT.
If two (2) DISOBOX units are connected, the first group of the first box is treated as
Scale 1 in DISOMAT; the first group of the second box, as Scale 2.
If two groups are configured, the twin-unit scale can be used/configured in DISOMAT.

5.4.9.2 Fct. 4472:Channel
If DISOBOX units are connected, the following parameters are shifted from
menu item '441:Calibration parameters' to this function. For description of
parameters, see chapter 'Fct. 441:Calibration parameters':
• Parameter 'Mechanical factor'

• Parameter 'Adjustment Factor'
• Parameter 'Rated capacity'
• Parameter 'Number of L/Cs'
• Parameter 'L/C-C [mV/V]'
• Parameter 'Deadweight'
5.4.9.2.1 Parameter 'Channel'
Display: Channel 1
Input: 1-8
Function: Lets you acquire the channel parameters of connected DISOBOX unit(s).
The number of DISOBOX units must have been acquired at menu item
4471:Configuration.
After input of channel number, DISOBOX reads the channels box parameters, for you
to enter. The connected scale (446:Select scale) determines the DISOBOX to be
addressed!
If two DISOBOX units are connected, DISOMAT shows the number of connected
DISOBOX units in the first dialog line during input.
5.4.9.2.2 Parameter 'Function'
Display: Scale used Scale 1

Input: Off, Active, Scale 1, Scale 2, Twin-unit, 1 + 2, 1 + 3, 1 + 2 + 3
Function: Lets you determine the scale, the channel is assigned to in DISOMAT. You
can select any combination from Scale 1, Scale 2 and twin-unit.
When connecting DISOBOX to DISOMAT, only some few combinations make good
sense. When connecting one (1) DISOBOX, the assignment to Scale 1 or 2 is useful,
when connecting two (2) DISOBOX units, permanently select Scale 1.

5.4.9.3 Fct. 4473:Switching filter
5.4.9.3.1 Parameter 'Switching filter'
Display: Switching filter 1,00s

Input: 0.06s, 0,10s, 0.15s, 0.22s, 0.33.s, 0.47s, 0.68s, 1.00s, 1.50s, 2.00s, 3.30s,
4.70s
Function: Lets you acquire the switching filter value valid for all channels.
5.4.9.4 Fct. 4474:Address setup

When connecting two DISOBOX units, configure one unit for DISONET Slave 2. As
default, every DISOBOX is set to DISONET Slave 1. The present menu item lets you
change the slave address of the second DISOBOX.
To do so, connect DISOBOX 2 alone to DISOMAT, and call menu item.
5.4.9.4.1 Parameter 'Serial no.'
Display: Serial no. ____________

Input: Enter DISOBOX serial number or acknowledge blank input. For serial
number, see DISOBOX identification plate.
Function: Lets you assign new DISONET address to the DISOBOX whose serial
number you have entered. If you have acknowledged blank input (no serial
number), the DISONET address is assigned to all connected DISOBOX
units.
You can stop entering digits when DISOBOX is clearly recognised!
5.4.9.4.2 Parameter 'Net position'
Display: Net position Slave 1

Input: Slave 1, Slave 2
Function: Lets you determine the DISONET address to be assigned to DISOBOX.
Acknowledge with [OK], and address is transferred to the DISOBOX
specified by serial number. Transfer takes approx. 5 seconds.

5.4.10 Calibrating DISOBOX
To calibrate DISOBOX:
1. Perform deadweight calibration (function 4451; see also Item 'Fct.

4451:Deadweight').
2. Perform corner adjustment (function 4455; see also Item 'Fct. 4455:Corner
adjustment').
Corner adjustment is designed to balance the different sensitivities of single

load cells so that scale display is independent of position of load on scale.
Follow these steps:
o Load all corners with approx. 20% of full scale, one after the other,
and note weight values G. The more precisely the test weight loads
this corner, the more accurate the adjustment will be.
o Determine reference weight value B used for adjustment of residual

values. Best use the mean value from acquired weight values.
o Correction value for every channel x is computed thus: Corr(x) = (( B

- G(x) ) / B ) * 1000.
o Enter correction values for every channel using menu item 'Corner
adjustment'.
ATTENTION: changes cannot be reset. If your system has been

decalibrated after input error, go to channel data and set parameter
'Adjustment Factor' to 1.0 for every single load cell.
o After corner adjustment it is useful to relieve scale again and check for
proper dead load. If necessary, recalibrate deadweight calibration.
3. Perform range adjustment (function 4453; see also Item 'Fct. 4453:Range').

5.4.11 Stamping DISOBOX
See also chapter 'Legal-For-Trade Identification, Sealing Locations and Type'.
The stamp is applied to the DISOBOX intermediate plate (on countersunk screw) as
shown below.
This stamp is designed to seal the area below the plate.

Parameters are protected by a legal-for-trade counter that increments upon any
change to a legal-for-trade parameter. The counter readings at the time of verification
are indicated on stamping plate and can be compared with current counter readings
(by [TEST] key). If counter readings differ from one another, new stamping is required.
For additional protection, set calibration jumper under the plate to "write protect" (not
to "write enable").

Filling
DISOMAT controls a fill unit for filling in full feed and dribble feed until setpoint is
reached. the amount fed out is checked for tolerance; if required, make-up filling takes
place. In case of overfill, an event message is output.
To start filling,
• Press F1 key, or
• Set input contact In 1, or
• Set PLS-DIn-1 (set bit via fieldbus) or
• DP command (telegram via serial interface)
To stop filling,
• Set PLS-DIn-2, or
• DP command.

To abort filling,
• DP command.
Fill parameters (Prefill value, Pre contact, Main Contact, PLUS Tolerance, MINUS
Tolerance and Optimization factor) depend on material properties.
Menu item '473:Material data' lets you store 10 parameter records (corresponding) to
10 different material properties). Parameter record is selected upon setpoint input in
form of the material number.
For details of fill parameters see corresponding chapter 'Parametrisation'.
Discharge
The behavior when discharging is determined by the parameter Auto Refill (see
chapter 'Parametrisation' -> section 'B. Function block parameters'). Parameter Max
fill level is the criterion for start of discharge after end of filling; parameter Min fill
level, for end of discharge. Set these parameters via material data.
NOTE: When setting parameters, make allowance for build-ups in weigh hopper, if
any.
Discharge commences, if
1. filling is complete, and

2. Gross weight in hopper exceeds Max fill level.
Discharging continues until parameter Min fill level is reached and Min. discharge
time has elapsed.
With the use of different parameter settings, single and multiple fill operations can be
realized:
• Single Filling: With single fill operations including discharge, ensure that
parameter Max fill level is smaller than setpoint. It is useful to set Max fill
level parameter to 0.
• Multiple Filling: With multiple fill operations, set Max fill level parameter
value right under the total amount to be filled. Multiple fill operations are
performed one after the other, if necessary, using different setpoints. The last
fill operation exceeds Max fill level value. DISOMAT sets Out-3 to '1'
(discharge).

6.1.4 Standard Operating Sequence

This item explains the regular operating activities, i.e.
• Perform feed operation

• Print weigh data.
For other regular activities, e.g. enter setpoint and string, see manual BV-H2335, Item
4.2.
Feeding - With Automatic Taring Upon Feed Start

Feeding starts and normally continues until feeding is complete. Before start of
feeding (F3 key) , enter or check setpoint.
You can stop feeding at any time, restart and complete, or abort it.
Every weighing operation (aborted or complete) is balanced automatically.
If feeding is complete, a weighing report is printed.

Feeding - Without Automatic Taring Upon Feed Start

Feeding can also be performed without automatic taring. To do so, set function block
parameter Taring to No.
Weight value displayed is used as setpoint.
Exception: Partially Filled Hoppers
Drums are to be filled using a known tare weight. Drums still contain a residual
amount of material (e.g. 4 kg). To reach the defined setpoint (e.g. 50 kg), enter
known tare weight of drum in manual ('9:Manual tare') or select fixed tare value
('8:Select fixed tare'), i.e. scales tares using this value. Upon start of feeding, 46 kg
are added to reach the defined setpoint (e.g. 50 kg).
This items reflects a typical operating sequence of a Filling scale.

timeout; then, GROSS is displayed.
Next filling operation can start after
timeout.
7. Discharge hopper If filled weight exceeds MAX value -
-> weigh hopper is automatically
discharged.

Alternatively, you can also
• perform a mere GROSS weighing. This function is used, if a hopper

containing a residual amount of material is to be filled. In this case, the taring
operation before filling is omitted.
6.1.5 Operating Activities

There are three types of printout and one print repeat function. For information on
formatting, see manual BV-H2335, Item 5.2.1.
Single Printout
After every fill operation, aborted or completed, system automatically performs a
single printout (weighing report). For single printout, DISOMAT uses form format 2.
Totals Printout
After one (or multiple) weighing operations, you can print total by pressing [F12].
System outputs the cumulative weight value of all fill operations. Then, totals value
(balance) is cleared, i.e. the totals weight of all weighing operations performed and the
number of fill operations are set to zero. For totals printout, DISOMAT uses form
format 3.
Sub-Totals Printout
[F6] lets you print current balance total at any time. After one (or multiple) weighing
operations, you can print sub-total using menu item '33:Print3'. Print pattern is the
same as with totals printout, however, the totals memory is not cleared.
Print Repeat
You can repeat last printout as many times as required by operating the F11 key, e.g.
if you need a copy, or if printer failed and did not produce the initial printout as it
should be.

Function Variants Discharge Scale
6.2 Discharge Scale
Before operating a discharge scale, make yourself familiar with the

general functioning of your DISOMAT.
The discharge scale is designed to batch material out of a weigh hopper. Single and
multiple discharge operations are possible.

Filling
DISOMAT controls a fill unit for filling in full feed and dribble feed until setpoint is
reached. the amount fed out is checked for tolerance; if required, make-up filling takes
place. In case of overfill, an event message is output.
To start filling,
• Set PLS-DIn-1 (set bit via fieldbus) or
• DP command (telegram via serial interface)
To stop filling,
• DP command.

To abort filling,
• DP command.
Fill parameters (Prefill value, Pre contact, Main Contact, PLUS Tolerance, MINUS
Tolerance and Optimization factor) depend on material properties.
Menu item '473:Material data' lets you store 10 parameter records (corresponding) to
10 different material properties). Parameter record is selected upon setpoint input in
form of the material number.
For details of fill parameters see corresponding chapter 'Parametrisation'.
Refilling
Weigh hopper is refilled from surge hopper via a gate/valve (Out 3). The behavior
when refilling is determined by the parameter Auto Refill (see chapter
'Parametrisation' -> section 'B. Function block parameters').
Refilling commences as soon as the amount in weigh hopper has fallen below the
value of parameter Min fill level and continues until the value of parameter Max fill
level is reached. Set these parameters via material data.
Refilling takes place if
1. discharge operation is complete, and

2. gross weight in hopper is smaller than the value of parameter Min fill level.
Refilling continues until the value of parameter Max fill level is reached.
With the use of different parameter settings, single and multiple fill operations can be
realized:
• Single Filling: With single fill operations, set parameters Min fill level and
Max fill level to the same value (in excess of setpoint).
• Multiple Filling: Here, the maximun value of a bulk solids dump equals (Max
Fill Level - Min Fill Level). The residual amount is divided up equally for the
two last bulk solids dumps.

Function Variants Cargo Scale
6.4 Cargo Scale
Before operating a Cargo scale, make yourself familiar with the general
The Cargo scale is designed to weigh single unit loads. The unit loads are positioned
on scale and remain there until weighing is complete.
The weighing result can be printed, to be then automatically balanced.
If printing is complete, output contact 1 ('Weighing Complete') turns logical 1 for a
settable time (function block Delay1, parameters StartDelay, EndDelay).
If scale identifies a fault, output contact 2 ('Ready') turns logical 0.

Select using arrow keys and acknowledge with .
After
Weigh ZEUS starts printing (remember to put new weigh slip into printer), returns to
home position and is ready to start next weighing operation.
Abort all data entered are delected. ZEUS returns to home position and is ready to
start next weighing operation.

6.5.5.1.2 Second weighing
Vehicle has been loaded, or unloaded. To complete weight acquisition, follow these
steps:
F8
Perform second weighing.

System prompts for input of memory number assigned to vehicle at the time of first
weighing.

But note:
• If no first weighing has been performed yet, ZEUS returns to home position.
• If material number has not been entered upon first weighing, you can do it
now (see First Weighing, Identify Load).
Insert weigh slip into printer and press key to acknowledge. First/second
weighing operation is complete.

The data record from first weighing stays as long as possible even after second
weighing. This makes it possible to repeat second weighing (for instance, if it was
overloaded). The data record is deleted if the vehicle comes for first weighing again or
if the first weighing file is full.
6.5.5.2 Single Weighing
(= weighing with well-known empty weight)

Follow these steps:
• Insert new weigh slip into printer.

• Identify vehicle.
• Preset empty weight.
• Release weighing operation.
If vehicle is unloaded, perform single weighing on incoming vehicle; if not, on outgoing

vehicle.
F9
Perform single weighing.
a. Identify Vehicle

6.5.5.3 Weighing Using Fixed Tare Weight
Procedure is similar to that of First weighing/Second weighing. First weighing is

replaced by initial acquisition of vehicle empty weight.
Follow these steps:
F10
You see menu item '5824:FIXED TARE FILE | Create data'
number), e.g.
5824:Create data
Vehicle no DA-RC 60
Acknowledge input.
ZEUS is ready to acquire empty weight. Display reads (known from

First/Second/Single Weighing):
5824:Create data
After
Weigh ZEUS stores empty weight in a free memory and assigns a memory number
between 100 and 124. Assigned memory number is displayed for two
seconds, e.g.

5824:Create data
Memory no. 24
Empty weight acquisition is complete.
Once empty weight has been stored in fixed tare memory:

Perform second weighing after loading / before unloading. ZEUS assigns empty
weight memory numbers from 100 to 124 to known vehicles.
System prompts for input of material number in any case.
6.5.5.4 External Weighing
Record weight without vehicle empty weight. Used, e.g. to check vehicle for overload.
F12
+ Perform External Weighing
Feed into:
String input

and
Acknowledge.
6.5.6 Further Functions
Set to zero with ZeroSet key' to set scale to zero.

Zero settings can be effected only if scale is unloaded ( -1%...+3% of rated capacity).
Files
The data acquired by ZEUS are internally stored fail-safe in files.
The First Weighings File contains the data of all vehicles in plant (maximum 99)
expected for second weighing.
The Fixed Tare File contains the data of all vehicles (maximum 25) of your car pool or
of regular customers.
The Materials File contains all materials to be accumulated. This function facilitates
material indication in case of weighings where the 25 possible inputs in materials file
can be called up via material number.
Your commissioning engineer will explain to you how to access and edit these files, if
you desire so. You can select:
• Show data
• Clear data
• Print file

In Fixed Tare file you can additionally
• Create data
as described at Weighing Using Fixed Tare Weight item.

In materials file, you can additionally
• Print files (= print totals)

• Create data, i.e. assign numbers 1...25 to material name, and
• Clear mat. totals, i.e. process cumulative totals.
For data processing functions, see menu item 58:SERVICE | FILES'. No password is
required.
6.5.7 Hints, Possible Events
• Set printer to on-line. If not, certain outputs are buffered and printed only if
printer is reset to on-line. However, there is the danger of weigh data getting
lost.
• Vehicle exists message

The vehicle with the indicated vehicle number is in plant and has been first-
weighed. Perform second weighing or delete input in First Weighings File.
• Value > MAX message

You have entered a vehicle number outside range 1...99 or, with vehicle
stored in Fixed Tare File, out of range 100...124.
• M0710:Out of zeroing range message

Scale can be zeroed only if totally unloaded, i.e. if display does not show more
than +3%, or not less than -1% of rated capacity range.
6.5.8 Clearing/Handling Error Messages

Some error messages are designed to warn you by periodic overwrite of display field
that a response is absolutely required. Before you acknowledge a message of this
kind, remove cause of fault. Then you can acknowledge event by operating the
'Acknowledge Event' keys .

6.5.10 Signal Control

The standard DISOMAT Tersus-ZEUS is capable of controlling a signal system
consisting of entrance and exit signal, each with one red and one green light. Signal
control is as follows:
• When vehicle drives onto scale, entrance and exit are closed to traffic (RED
signal).
• If weighing is complete, exit signal turns GREEN.
• If scale is totally relieved, entrance signal also turns GREEN, and scale is
ready for next weighing operation.
A single exit signal, i.e. signal system with red light only, is controlled in the same
fashion.
F11
If a vehicle drives on scale inadvertently, exit can be released with key and no
weighing takes place.
Connecting signal system to ZEUS:
Contact: concerns: Function:

XDO Contact 2 Output 1 Exit signal, RED light
XDO Contact 3 Output 2 Exit signal, GREEN light
XDO Contact 4 Output 3 Entrance signal, RED light
XDO Contact 5 Output 4 Entrance signal, GREEN light
XDO Contact 1 Outputs 1-4 Common root

Operating sequence can be set to "Weighing Complete" (GREEN exit signal) via DP
command.
DISOMAT outputs can control 230 V lights directly. Cables of 1.5 mm2 cross-section
per core can be connected directly.
The traffic signal thresholds are preset with 1% of full scale "(scale loaded)" and
0.01% "(scale empty)".

For function block details, please see manual Function Blocks (BV-H2317).

Event Messages Road Weighbridge ZEUS (Option)
7 Event Messages
The DISOMAT upper line (message field) displays hints on operating sequence, or
scale information, e.g.
Designed to inform you about important events, these hints require a certain reaction.
Simple cases are designed for information only, severe cases, e.g. critical faults in
operation, require to be remedied and acknowledged.
For you to be able to classify these hints, every event message is assigned to an
event class identified by a code letter.
Hints of the following event classes are displayed:
Event Class Code Significance Required Reaction

Message M Informative Note
Warning W Uncritical Acknowledge *)
Alarm A Critical Acknowledge *)
Fault (Severe error) S Very critical Acknowledge after password input *)
*) Never acknowledge event message before cause of fault has been

identified!

Event Messages What If...?
7.1 What If...?

DISOMAT recognizes faults in operation and reports them in form of an event
message. If you come across such an event message, please read the explanations
given in the chapter 'Event Messages'.
Never acknowledge event message before having remedied fault.
Certain obvious faults may be due to maloperation or mechanical scale faults.

If a fault occurs, follow these steps:
1. Check to see if you have followed the operating sequence.

2. Check for the presence of a mechanical fault. Check for unstable scale
performance, shunt forces, jammed gates / valves, etc.
3. If an event message is output, read troubleshooting table.
4. Check to see that all parameters (e.g. setpoint) are appropriate.
Event Messages On Large-Size Display

Event information is output on large-size display in form of a flashing number code
(event number), e.g.
,0704
0704 = Event number without indication of error code
, = Attention Error
In our example, the event number is 0704; in Chapter 7, you find '0704:Out of Zeroing
Range' complete with hints on remedy of fault.
First remedy fault, then acknowledge event message on pendant.
7.2 Event Message Construction

Event messages are constructed as follows:
KNNTT[-ID]:Text
K = Class (1 digit)
NN = Event number (2 digits)
TT = Task number (2 digits)
-ID = Optional ID number
:Text = Event text
The first letter (K) is the code letter of the event class currently assigned to the event.
The next 2-digit number (NN) is the unambiguous code of the reported event
(=consecutive number of all event texts). Next, the 2-digit number (TT) of the task
having started the event is output. Optionally, an ID number (ID) can be output
designed to specify the cause of the reported event. After the double point, the event
is output in text form.

Event Messages Event Message Construction
Defined Event Classes

Event Class Code Meaning
No Event Event is NOT displayed but added to external event list for
evaluation purposes.
Message M For Information
Event serves for operator information; message effaces
automatically after approx. 30 seconds. If you don't want to wait
for automatic effacing, acknowledge without password.
DISOMAT continues operating regularly.
Warning W Warns the operator of uncritical situations. Note warning and
acknowledge (no password input). DISOMAT continues
operating regularly.
Alarm A Simple Fault
Warns the operator of critical situations. DISOMAT input/output
contacts stop being processed, and output contacts go to safe
state.*)
Observe alarm message and remedy cause of simple fault, if

any; acknowledge message (no password input). Inputs/outputs
continue being processed.
*)
As long as alarm is present, all fault-relevant binary function
block outputs (primarily function blocks of function block groups
CONTROL and COMPARATORS) are set to logical 0.
Fault S Severe Fault
Warns the operator of very critical situations, e.g. hardware
faults. As is with Alarm messages, inputs/outputs are not being
processed, and outputs go to safe state *) Remedy cause of fault
to ensure that system continues operating regularly. Then
acknowledge fault message after input of parameter or
configuration password.
*)
As long as fault is present, all fault-relevant binary function
block outputs (primarily function blocks of function block groups
CONTROL and COMPARATORS) are set to logical 0.
Using event number, optional ID and event text, look out for fault finding hints and
remedy given in the Troubleshooting List below.

Event Messages List of Event Messages
7.3 List of Event Messages
• Event messages concerning the DISOMAT "Mirror" (second control

unit) have a task number incremented by 30,
e.g. M0239: Powerfail in place of M0209:Powerfail.
• Event messages concerning first DISOBOX have a task number

incremented by 60,
e.g. M0269: Powerfail
• Event messages concerning second DISOBOX have a task number

incremented by 90,
