DC-190 Ultra Count Installation Manual

1.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the DC-190 Ultra Count to ensure all components are included and

undamaged. If any items were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper

immediately.

Ensure all accessories are removed from the cartons, then replace all packing materials in the cartons and store in

a safe place. Use the original cartons whenever shipment of the scale is required.

1.2 Repacking

If the DC-190 counting scale must be returned for modification, calibration, or repair, it must be properly packed

with sufficient cushioning materials and the load cell must be locked to prevent damage to the load cell (see

Section 2.1 on page 6).

Whenever possible, use the original carton when shipping the DC-190. Damage caused by improper packaging is

not be covered by warranty.

1.3 DC-190 Scale Capacities and Resolutions

Counting scales specify two types of resolution:

•Weight (or external) resolution

• Counting (or internal) resolution

Weight resolution is displayed in increments of the full scale capacity which is divided into weight increments.

For example, a 5-lb scale divided into 10,000 display divisions would display weight with 0.0005 lb divisions

(10,000 divisions x 0.0005 lb = 5.0 lb).

Counting resolution is based on the internal resolution of the scale. The weight and counting resolutions for the

DC-190 single- and dual-platform capacities are listed below.

Tables 1-1 through 1-3 list the scale capacities and resolutions for all models of the DC-190 counting scales.

4. Press ON/OFF and allow scale to warm up for

10 minutes. The display momentarily shows

the revision number, shows all digits from 0 to

9 in a count-up mode, goes blank, shows all

8s, and then enters normal weighing mode.

If the scale is connected to AC power while in the

OFF condition, no warm-up is necessary.

NOTE: If the scale displays erratic data, it may be

caused by a power transient. Turn the scale off and

momentarily unplug it from the wall outlet. Then

restart by plugging the scale back in and pressing ON/

OFF key. The scale will go through a display check;

no warm up is needed.

2.3.2 DC Battery Pack Replacement/Installation

3.0 Scale Setup

This section provides information about attaching scales and serial devices to the DC-190. Information presented

describes both physical connections and values that must be specified when configuring the DC-190 (see

Section 4.0). If you know what scales and serial devices will be connected to the DC-190, you can use the SPEC

Code Worksheets Section 10.1 on page 50 to record these values for later configuration.

3.1 Scale Configurations

The DC-190 can be connected to up to three analog scale bases using the load cell ports (PORT 1 and PORT 2

shown in Figure 3-1). An Ohaus® Explorer force balance can also connected to either the FORCE BALANCE or

232/PRINTER serial port for a total of four scale channels.

Figure 3-1. DC-190 Scale Ports and Connectors

Attach SX-L single and SX-D dual scale platforms to PORT 1 (left connector); attach external scale base to

PORT 2 (right connector). For three-scale configurations using either an SX-L and two external bases or three

external bases, an optional Y-cable must be used to connect two of the bases to PORT 1. (A wiring diagram of the

Y-cable is shown in Section 10.5 on page 55.)

3.1.1 Configuring SPECs 16 and 17

SPECs 16 and 17 are used to assign the annunciators for each of the four scale channels (Scale No. annunciator

on the DC-190 console). All scale channels must be assigned, regardless of the actual number of scales attached.

Table 3-1 shows the values and default bit configurations for SPECs 16 and 17.

When configuring SPECs 16 and 17, use the following rules:

•If a force balance is attached, it must be configured as Scale 1. That is, SPEC 16, bits 3 and 2, (Scale 1)

must be set to Force Balance (11).

•Scales attached to Port 1 are configured as Internal Scale 1 and Internal Scale 2, regardless of whether the

actual scale base is internal (SX-L, SX-D) or external.

Scale Setup 13

• The scale attached to Port 2 is configured as External Scale.

•All Scales (1–4) must be configured, and the value of each bit pair must be unique: each Scale (1–4)

must have a different value. For example, do not attempt to configure two or more scales as External

Scale; doing so will cause the DC-190 to lock up with an all 888888s display. See Section 10.7 on

page 57 for information about clearing this error condition.

SPECs 16 and 17 do not turn on the additional scales; by default, only one scale is enabled. Scales 2 and 3 are

turned on and off using SPEC 25, bit 1 (Scale Type, single or dual) and SPEC 32, bit 0 (Scale Connected to Port

2). The force balance is turned on and off in SPEC 8, bit 3 (Force Balance on RS-232C port); the port used by the

force balance is selected in SPEC 13, bits 2, 1, and 0 (RS-232 Connectors).

When adding a second or third platform to the DC-190, plug in the remote scale (or

dummy plug) before connecting AC power to the DC-190 and before enabling the added

scales in the configuration SPECs. Do not unplug a remote scale while the DC-190 is

powered on.

3.1.2 Scale Configurations, No Force Balance Attached

Table 3-2 lists several scale configurations for single, dual, and console-only models of the DC-190 with no force

balance attached. Required values for each configuration are shown for SPECs 16 and 17 (including Scale No.

assignments), SPEC 25 (bit 1), and SPEC 32 (bit 0). Because no force balance is attached, SPEC 8, bit 3, must be

set to 0 for all listed configurations.

NOTES:

•SPEC 8, bit 3, must be set to 0 (0xxx) if no force balance is connected to the DC-190. Setting this bit to 1 with no force

balance connected will cause the scale to lock up.

• Console-only configurations require external AC adapter.

•If an external scale is attached to PORT 2 and only one scale is attached to the PORT 1 connector, the external scale is

configured using Scale 3 parameters (SPECs 33, 36, and 37).

6.0 Scale Operations

The following sections contain detailed operator instructions for the DC-190 counting scale. Included are

instructions to enter tare weights, toggle between net and gross weight, enter unit weights, perform inventory

accumulation and reduction, and toggle between scales. All operator functions are conducted with the scale in the

weighing or normal mode. See Section 7.0 on page 30 for information about scale programming.

Counting scale accuracy is primarily determined by the following factors:

• Sample size (number of pieces)

•Total sample size as a percentage of full scale capacity

• Piece-to-piece weight variation

As a general rule when determining sample size of fairly uniform pieces, the larger the sample size the greater

the total sample weight, therefore, the better the counting accuracy. Selecting the smallest capacity scale that can

obtain the highest counting resolution should be considered, but should not sacrifice the capacity required for the

heaviest container of parts. For this specific application, a dual-platform scale may be the best selection.

There is a direct relationship between piece-to-piece weight variation (non-uniformity) and counting accuracy.

Therefore, elimination of the piece-to-piece weight variations can be accomplished by:

1. Isolating the sample used to calculate the unit weight and use the same sample to re-check the scale.

2. Recalculating the unit weight from lot-to-lot of parts. Parts manufactured on one machine may vary

slightly from another machine relative to weight.

3. Tightening the manufacturing tolerances on the parts reduces piece weight variations and increases count

accuracy.

6.1 Entering Tare Weights

Tare weights can be entered in the scale by one of two methods: one-touch tare or digital tare.

NOTES:

• SPEC 27, bit 2 (Digital Tare Setting) must be a 1 to allow digital tare.

•SPEC 27, bits 0 and 1 (Tare Range) must be set to the appropriate tare range value. Default is 00, 100 percent of full

scale.

One-Touch Tare, Tare Weight Unknown

1. If the tare weight value is not known, place the container, box, or item to be tared on the scale and press

TARE. The WEIGHT display should now show 0 and the NET annunciator should illuminate.

2. Remove the container, box, or item from the scale. The WEIGHT display should show a negative weight

value (weight of the tared container, box, or item).

3. Press TARE to reset tare to zero.

Digital Tare, Tare Weight Known

1. If the tare weight value is known, use the numeric keypad to key in the value and then press TARE.

2. Press TARE to reset tare to zero.

NOTE: For digital tare entry, the decimal must be in the appropriate place as it would be displayed in the WEIGHT

display. For example, .250 would be entered as 0.250, not .250. The WEIGHT display shows weight entered with a

negative sign indicating that it is a tare weight.

Scale Operations 27

6.2 Toggle Between Scales

To switch the displays from Scale 1 through Scale 4, press the SCALE key when in weighing mode. Only scales

present are selected. For example, a two-scale system switches between Scale 1 and Scale 2 only. In a four-scale

configuration, the SCALE key functions as follows:

1. Press SCALE key to change from Scale 1 to Scale 2.

2. Press SCALE key to change from Scale 2 to Scale 3.

3. Press SCALE key to change from Scale 3 to Scale 4.

4. Press SCALE key to change from Scale 4 to Scale 1.

NOTE: Scale number assignments are set using SPECs 16 and 17.

6.3 Toggling Between Net and Gross Weight

To toggle between net and gross weight, a tare value must be entered into the scale (see Section 6.1). NOTE:

SPEC 25, bit 0 (Gross Mode Available) must be set to 0 (default) to enable gross mode.

After a tare value is entered into the scale, items placed on the scale will cause the NET annunciator to illuminate

and allow toggling between net weight and gross weight.

An example of toggling between net weight and gross weight is shown below:

1. Place 0.5 lb weight on the scale and then press TARE once. The WEIGHT display should show 0.000 lb.

2. Place another 0.5 lb weight on the scale. The scale WEIGHT display should now show 0.500 and the NET

annunciator should be illuminated.

3. Press NET/GROSS. The WEIGHT display should show 1.000 and the GROSS weight annunciator is

illuminated. The UNIT-WEIGHT and the QUANTITY displays go blank.

4. Press NET/GROSS. The WEIGHT display now shows 0.500 and the NET weight annunciator is

illuminated.

6.4 Entering Unit Weights

Entering unit weights can be done either by sampling, as described in Section 6.4.1, or by key entry as described

in Section 6.4.2.

SPEC 0, bit 0 (Piece Weight Selection) works in conjunction with the UNIT-WEIGHT display. Setting the bit to 0

specifies that the UNIT-WEIGHT value shown is per 1000 pieces and the UNIT WT PER 1000 annunciator is lit.

Setting bit 0 to 1 specifies that the unit weight value shown is per one piece (A.P.W.).

NOTE: SPEC 4, bits 1 and 2 (Insufficient Sample Level) control unit weight sampling. The default value is 0.1 percent.

6.4.1 Unit Weight Operation by Sampling

Unit weight operation by sampling is accomplished by placing a known quantity of pieces to be sampled on the

scale and then pressing the PIECES key. The scale calculates a unit weight based on the capacity of the scale

compared to the weight of the sample.

1. Press REZERO to zero scale.

2. Place 10 pieces of the item to be sampled on the scale.

3. Press PIECES key then wait a few seconds for the computation. If the sample weight is sufficient

(INSUFF annunciator is off), the WEIGHT display shows the total sample weight; the UNIT-WEIGHT

display shows the unit or per 1000 weight for the 10 sample pieces (depending on the value of SPEC 0,

bit 0, as described above); the QUANTITY display shows the number of pieces (10).

6.4.3 Clearing Unit Weight

To clear a unit weight:

1. Remove weight from scale.

2. Press the CLEAR key.

6.5 Part Accumulation and Reduction–Without Recalling an Item Code

The DC-190 counting scale is capable of part number inventory tracking and maintenance using the stored item

code function of the scale software (see Section 7.0 on page 30). Additionally, the scale has the capability to

acquire the total number of parts using the accumulation or reduction function of the scale (similar to the add/

subtract functions of a calculator).

6.5.1 Part Accumulation

To find the total accumulated quantity of similar containers filled with parts, use the accumulation procedure

detailed below. Six containers are used in this example procedure; it is assumed that all containers are of the

same weight.

1. Conduct a sampling process (see Section 6.4) to determine the unit weight of the pieces.

2. Enter known tare weight, or place empty container on scale to perform tare function (see Section 6.1).

3. Place Container 1 (full of parts) on the scale.

4. Press the + key to store the total in Container 1. The MEMORY annunciator lights. The WEIGHT display

briefly shows totAL and the QUANTITY display shows the total pieces in the first container.

5. Remove Container 1 and place Container 2 (full of parts) on the scale.

6. Press the + key (total is equal to Container 1 plus Container 2).

7. Continue with the remainder of the containers in the same accumulation method. The total number of

parts stored in all six containers will then be stored in the accumulation register.

8. To view the total, make sure that the scale platter is empty and press the + or – key.

9. To clear the total, press the * key. The MEMORY annunciator is not illuminated.

NOTE: If SPEC 32, bit 1 (Auto Exit from Part Accumulation and Reduction Mode) is set to 0, the scale will not auto

exit from displaying the total amount. To return to the weighing mode, press the CLEAR key.

6.5.2 Part Reduction

Part reduction can be also be done by using the – key while the scale is in the weighing mode and the MEMORY

annunciator is on.

1. Conduct a sampling process (Section 6.4) to determine the unit weight of the pieces.

2. Place container to be tared on scale and enter the tare weight (Section 6.1).

3. Place Container 1 (full of parts) on the scale.

4. Press the + key to store the total in Container 1. The MEMORY annunciator lights. The WEIGHT display

briefly shows totAL and the QUANTITY display shows the total pieces in the container.

5. Remove a number of parts from the container and press the – key. The MEMORY annunciator is

7.4 Global Setpoint Programming– Setpoints Not Tied to an Item Code

The DC-190 provides the flexibility to use the setpoint programming for parts counting applications that are

based on weight or quantity. SPEC 7 and SPEC 18 are used for configuring the setpoint type, latching, buzzer,

TTL outputs, and the number of setpoints.

The eight-pin DIN connector designation for the setpoint configuration is shown in Table 7-3. See Section 10.3

on page 52 for connector pinout information.

The available setpoint types are quantity, weight, percent quantity, and percent weight. The following procedure

is the same for each type; however, the type of setpoint selected determines the values being entered. Table 7-1

details the values for each setpoint and the values they represent.

7.4.1 Procedure

The following steps present the procedure for setpoint programming by percent quantity, percent weight, upper

and lower quantity limit, and upper and lower weight limit.

1. Press the MODE key to go into the programming mode. The MODE annunciator illuminates, the WEIGHT

display shows ProG, and the QUANTITY display shows C XX.

10.7 Clearing Locked-Up Scale (888888 Error)

Several configuration errors can result in the scale locking up with a display that shows all 888888s. These errors

include the following:

• If no force balance is connected to the DC-190, SPEC 8, bit 3, must be set to 0 (0xxx).

•If a force balance is attached, SPEC 8, bit 3 must be set to 1 (1xxx) and SPEC 9, bit 2 (force balance

type), must be set to 1 (x1xx, Ohaus Explorer).

• If no printer is attached to the DC-190, SPEC 10, bit 3, must be set to 0 (0xxx).

•SPEC 16 and SPEC 17 must assign a different location for each scale, whether it is present or not. These

bits must be configured to show scale assignments for Internal Scale 1, Internal Scale 2, External Scale,

and Force Balance. See example below.

The following configuration for SPECs 16 and 17 contains duplicate entries for both Internal Scale 1

and External Scale. Do NOT set SPECs 16 and 17 to a configuration such as that shown below: a

lockup condition will result if this configuration is selected.

Should the DC-190 become locked up in all 888888s as a result of invalid specification settings, an authorized

service technician can perform the following procedure:

1. Unplug scale from AC outlet.

2. Press and hold the 3 and 9 keys while plugging AC cord into outlet.

3. The display shows S-on. Release the 3 and 9 keys.

4. Press and hold REZERO key while keying access code 141 (display will show SPC00). Use the + key to

advance to the incorrect SPEC and edit its value.

5. When done, press the * key to store the new values, then press the MODE key to return to weighing
