1. INTRODUCTION • The GBK/GFK scales provides an accurate, fast and versatile general purpose weighing scales with parts counting, percent weighing and check-weighing functions. • The GBK/GFK has LEDs to indicate when a weight is below the low limit, between the limits or above the high limit next to the display. These can work in conjunction with an audible alarm for check weighing as well as LCD showing LO, OK and HI. • The GBK/GFK is supplied with a RS-232 bi-directional in

3. INSTALLATION 3.1. UNPACKING The GBK/GFK scales have already been adjusted to work with a platform and have been configured for this application. The platform and indicator have been calibrated as a pair and must be used together . 3.2. LOCATING • The scales should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy. • Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. • Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floo

3.3 SETTING UP THE SCALES • The pillar is attached to the base using a bracket that must be attached to the base frame first using the 4 bolts supplied. The pillar is secured to the bracket using 2 sets of screws. The cable from the base to the indicator module is run through the tube and taken out through the plastic support at the top. Excess cable can be stored within the tube. • The GBK/GFK Series comes with a stainless steel platform packed separately. Place the platform i

Next to the LCD are a number of LED’s that show when the weight is below, within or over the limits during check weighing. Weight LED LCD below the low limit Amber LO Within the limits Green OK Above the high limit Red HI NOTE: The LED’s can be set by the user to off, bar, spot or segment mode. See “F3 LED” in section 13.1 The LED can be set to display as a bar, increasing from Low to OK to High, a single spot increasing from Low, OK to High, or as a single bar that chan

The Counters are incremented any time the calibration section or the Factory parameters section have been modified. At power on, the display will show the current software revision number followed by the message of the Calibration Count “[AL[nt” then a number i.e. “123”. The number from the counter memory. Then the Parameter Counter message of “PAr[nt” and probably a different number, i.e. “234”. The counters cannot be reset to 0, they will increment until the display can

7. BATTERY • The scales can be operated from the rechargeable battery, if desired. The GBK/GFK scales have up to 70 hours battery life before needing to be recharged if the backlight is disabled and the battery is fully charged. • When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will turn on. The battery should be charged when the symbol is on. The scale will still operate for a period of time after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery. • To charg

10. OPERATION 10.1. ZEROING • You can press the [Zero] key at any time to set the zero point from which all other weighing and counting is measured. This will usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show the zero indicator. • The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform. However you may need to press [Zero] to re-zero the scale if small amount

added to the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed. NOTE: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared just before removing the container, this value is the gross weight of the container plus all products which were removed. The zero indicator will also be on as the platform is back to the same condition it was when [Zero] was pressed last. Press [Tare] or [Zero] to remove the tare value and displa
