1. Additional Platforms (remote platforms):

The CTG-9850 Counting Scale can be configured to use two additional platforms.
The scale is equipped with indicator lights on the front panel to show which of three
platforms has data being displayed. The counting scale platform is always the
"A" platform. The other two platforms are designated "B" or "C".
The “B” or”C” platforms have a menu with capacities of 1, 2, 200, 600, 1000, 2500,
5000, 10000, 20000, or Cal Scale to choose from. The platform to be used is
selected by pressing the SCALE SELECT key until the appropriate indicator light
comes ON. Additional platforms can be thought of as extending the range of the
CTG-9850 counting scale. If the counting scale is of small capacity, 10 or 25
pounds, and a large number of items are to be counted, a large capacity scale could
be installed. The sampling would be done on the counting scale and the actual
counting made on the larger scale.

2. Sample platform feature:

The CTG-9850 counting scale can be configured for the 500 gram or 1 lb sample
scale. The sample scale is used when small numbers of small parts are to be
counted. The sample scale can be used as the sample device or the counting
device..

3. Auto switching feature:

This feature is enabled when an additional platform is installed. The feature instructs
the system to switch to the smallest capacity scale when the sample key is pressed.
This feature makes the smallest capacity scale the sample scale. Once the sample
operation is completed, the system automatically returns to the larger platform for
counting. The auto switching feature is enabled or disabled through programming.
05/02 8 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10
 4. Auto accumulate feature:
The feature allows the operator to keep a running total of the number of items
counted and displays the number of counting operations performed. The stored total
will NOT be lost when the scale is turned OFF.

5. Limit value:
The”Limit Value” is a number or value in “counts” that can be set by the operator.
When that number is reached in the count operation, a pulsed tone will sound and
the display will flash.

6. Communications:
The CTG-9850 Counting Scale has three RS-232, bi-directional communications
ports. These ports can be configured to support a wide variety of printers and
computers.
The communication ports are labeled CHANNEL 1, 2, and 3 on the back of the
scale. Each port uses a 9-pin DIN connector. The communications port can be
configured for a tape printer, ticket printer, computer, Bar code printer or Bar code
scanner. See Appendix I for protocol information on each of these devices.

NOTE: Channel 3 is dedicated for the 45-955X high resolution

counting scale ONLY.
7. ID Feature:
Each product being counted can be assigned an ID number. This ID number can be
used to identify the items on the print-outs. The ID number is entered through the
keypad on the indicator or the optional Bar code scanner

Note : This ID will remain in memory until a new ID is entered,

or the program mode is entered.
8. Printing :
This feature allows for the data to be printed and/or sent to a computer terminal.
See Appendix I for more information about the format and data printed. This
feature can be enabled or disabled in programming. Printing will not occur when
there is vibration on the platform.

9. Changing weighing units:

The weight units can be changed between pounds and kilograms from the front
panel, regardless of the units used to calibrate the scale. Pressing the UNITS key
will change the units displayed. The indicator in the weight display will light above
the units in use.

05/02 9 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10

 10. Unit weight:
This feature allows the operator to view the average piece weight of the items in
the current, or last weighment. To view the average piece weight, press and hold
the UNIT WT key. The quantity display will show "AP" and the weight display will
show the average piece weight. The unit weight is calculated when SAMPLE key
is depressed (see Section 4), or can be entered through the keypad on the
indicator, or the optional Bar code scanner.The unit weight will not be lost when
the scale is turned OFF, or the program mode is entered.

11. Auto Integrate:

The "light sample" indicator will flash when the sample weight on the platform is
less than 50 divisions. The light sample indicator will stop flashing when the 50
division standard is exceeded by the sample weight on the platform.

12. Tare Weights:

A tare weight may be entered via the keypad or optional Bar code scanner for each
platform in the counting scale system. This tare weight may be viewed by selecting
the scale then pressing and holding the TARE key. The stored tare weight will
appear in the weight display. Release the tare key and the scale will return to the
weighing mode. The tare weight will not be lost when the scale is turned OFF, or
the program mode is entered.

13. Clear:
a. Pressing the CLEAR key will delete the last numeric entry.
b. Pressing the CLEAR key twice will return the average piece weight and tare
to zero. If repeatedly pressed, the scale will return to the gross weigh mode.

14. I/O:
Multiple I/O options are available through the two independently programmed I/O
channels (1 & 2) for any of the following : Tape Printer, Ticket Printer, Computer,
Bar code Label Printer, Bar Code Reader, or Maple Terminal. Data will be printed
each time the PRINT key is operated (and there is no motion on the weighing
platform). It should be noted that if printers are connected to both channels, there
will be a noticeable change in the speed of operation. This is normal.

05/02 10 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10

E. Printers:
A standard printed output is available through Accessory 15311(ACC 366). Operating
the PRINT key will initiate an output when the instrument is in the gross, net, or total
modes. An ID number, gross weight, quantity and unit weight will be printed when the
instrument is in the gross weight mode. An ID number, gross weight, tare weight, net
weight, quantity and unit weight will be printed when the instrument is in the net weight
mode. An ID number, total number of accumulations, and total quantity will be printed
when the instrument is in the total mode. If the instrument has been programmed to
update ID numbers, the ID indicator will come on when the PRINT key is pressed. The
ID number currently stored in memory will be momentarily displayed. The operator
may enter a new ID number up to 12 digits. To complete the printing operation, press
the ENTER key.

F. Computer:
Data may be sent to a computer through Accessory 15311 (ACC 366). Operating the
PRINT key will initiate an output when the instrument is in the gross, net or total mode.
If the instrument has been programmed to update ID numbers, the ID indicator will
come on when the PRINT key is pressed and the current ID number will be
momentarily displayed. The operator may enter a new ID number. Pressing the
ENTER key will send data and the displayed ID to a computer. A computer may
request data by transmitting a carriage return (CR). If the scale has been programmed
to update ID numbers, the operator will be required to enter the ID number and press
the ENTER key to complete the data transfer.

changes.
3. Not subjected to vibrations.
4. Not subjected to high humidity or dust.

C. Remote Platform Installation:

1. Remote platforms connect to the 'platform ports', if equipped, at the rear of
the scale. These ports are labeled SCALE B and SCALE C. Scale A is the
platform on the counting scale. Any platform may be connected as Scale B
or C with the following exceptions:
a. If CTG-9552A is used, it MUST be connected to Scale B.
b. If 45-9550 or 45-9551(reference ONLY, both OBSOLETE) is used, it
MUST be connected to Channel 3 and the Scale C port will be
disabled.
2. Turn ON the Counting Scale.
3. Refer to Section 4 to set operating parameters and calibrate the remote
platform.

D. Built In Test

1. To access the built in test operate the “CLEAR” key after the “ON” switch has been
operated.
2. If after 5 seconds the instrument senses that the “CLEAR” key is operated, it will
sound the alarm while the key is operated.
3. Operate the “GROSS/NET” key and release the “CLEAR” key. The alarm will switch
off. Any other sequence will bypass the following built in test.
4. After the “GROSS/NET” key is released, the software tests the AD converter. If AD
converter is good a message “AD PASS” (Analog to digital Converter Pass) is
displayed, if bad a message “AD FAIL” ( Analog to Digital Converter Fail) is
displayed. The displayed message is held until a key is operated.
5. The internal memory is then tested. Success is displayed by display of “DA PASS” (
Ram Data Test Pass) and failure as “DA Fail” ( Ram Data Test Fail). The displayed
message is held until a key is operated.
6. The display will read “EA “ ( ready for EAROM test). If the “ZERO” key is operated,
the EAROM is tested by; first writing “1”s to the memory and reading the contents
and then writing “O”s and reading the contents. If the tests are successful a
message “EA PASS” (EAROM test pass) is displayed and failure by display of “EA
FAIL” (EAROM Test Fail). The message is held until any key is operated.

Note all EAROM memory locations are cleared to zero, if the EAROM is successfully tested.

The instrument will then be available for use after calibration.

 4. Set Switches:
Platforms connected to the scale B and scale C ports will require switches S2 and
S1 on the PC board to be set at this time. If these switches were previously set,
proceed with part 4, "calibrate the platform".The "CAL" prompt will be displayed in
the quantity display, and a numeric value will be in the weight display indicating the
scale is ready to be calibrated. If the scale capacity is being displayed, press the
SAMPLE key to place the scale into the calibration mode.

S1 and S2 will be used to adjust the displayed numeric values for no weight on the
platform, and full capacity on the platform. S2 must be used for platforms connected
to the scale B port, and S1 must be used for platforms connected to the scale C
port. The numeric value with no weight on the platform must be less than 10,000 but
greater than 1,000. With full capacity on the platform, the numeric value must be as
close to 100,000 as is possible, but must not exceed 100,000.

1. Remove all weight from the platform.

2. Set all switches OPEN.
3. Adjust the OFFSET (deadload) switches per chart to reduce the numeric
value below 10,000. Increasing the offset compensation will reduce the
numeric value.
4. Place the full capacity weight on the platform and adjust the GAIN switches
per chart to bring the numeric value as close to 100,000 as possible.
Increasing the gain will increase the numeric value.
5. Once the gain is adjusted, the offset will have to be re-adjusted below
10,000. Repeat gain and offset adjustments until the numeric value is below
10,000 with no weight on the platform, and as close as possible to 100,000
with full capacity on the platform.

 Section 6: Operation

A. Introduction :
A counting scale is a weighing device that displays the number of similar items in a
group, based on the weight of a known sample. The scale calculates the 'average
piece weight' for the items by taking the total weight of the sample and dividing by the
number of items in the sample. Using this average piece weight, the scale can then
calculate the number of items in a group by dividing the total weight by the average
piece weight. All of these calculations are done automatically by the scale. Counting
scales provide a quick and accurate count of large quantities of similar objects.

1. Terms & Definitions:

COUNT: The number of items in a lot that is being counted by the scale. The count is
derived by dividing the total weight on the scale by the average piece weight
of the items to be counted.

AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT (APW) : The calculated weight of a piece, derived by

dividing the total weight of a sample of pieces by the number of pieces in the
sample. This is done automatically by the counting scale. The larger the
sample size, the more accurate is the average piece weight. (Shown as “AP”
on the display).

SAMPLE SIZE, or SAMPLE : This is the number of items in the sample that is used to
get a count. A sample size of “10" is usually used for most items to be
counted. However, the size of the sample is determined by the weight of the
individual items, unit weight, or the weight consistency of the items being
weighed. The sample size is programmable and can be changed. The
sample size stored in the scales memory will not be lost when the scale is
turned OFF.

a. The lighter the item, the larger the sample should be. If pieces of
paper are to be counted, a sample size of 20 or 50 would be
preferable to 10, since each piece of paper is light in weight. If nuts
and bolts are being counted, a sample size of 10 would be sufficient.
The most often used sample sizes are 10 for most items, 20 for
medium weight items and 50 for light weight items.

b. Some items that are to be counted may have variable unit weights.
This might be true of large bolts. The weight of a bolt may be
different from each of the other bolts. Accuracy of the count can be
achieved by using a larger number in the sample.
05/02 27 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10
B. Start Up :
1. Plug the scale into a grounded 117 volt outlet.
2. Press the ON key. The warm-up sequence will display all "8's" and all indicator lights
will be ON for about 5 seconds.
3. The scale will then switch to the weigh mode with platform "A" active.

NOTE: The scale will emit an audible tone each time a command is accepted by the
scale. Wait for the “Tone” before proceeding to the next step.

E. Weighing modes :
1. Standard Counting, With No Container:
The standard counting operation is used when things are to be counted with NO
container used. This procedure might be used if pages of literature were being counted.

a. With the counting scale ON and warmed-up, press the ZERO key to set both
displays at zero.
b. Press the SAMPLE key. The quantity display will flash the sample size to be
placed on the platform.
c. Place the indicated number of items on the platform and wait for the display
to stop flashing.
d. Add to the sample on the platform until the required quantity is reached. The
display will show the number of items on the platform.
e. Remove the items on the platform. To repeat the counting process with the
same kind of items, place a new batch on the platform and the display will
show the count. Add to the batch or remove items from the batch to achieve
the required count. The process can be repeated over and over, with the
same type of items.

2. Standard Counting With A Container:

Standard counting with a container might be used if a certain number of small parts
were going to be put into a box on the platform.

a. With the counting scale ON and warmed-up place the box to be used as a
container on the platform.
b. Press the ZERO key to set both displays at zero.
c. Press the SAMPLE key. The display will flash the sample size.
d. Place the required number of items in the box. The counting scale will
automatically calculate the average piece weight. The display will show the
sample count.
e. When the flashing stops, add items to the container until the required number
is achieved.
f. Remove the container and the contents. Place a new, empty container on
the platform, and press the ZERO key.
g. Fill the new container until the required number of items is displayed.
h. Repeat steps f and g for each new container of the same type.
05/02 30 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10
F. Operator Functions:
1. Changing ID numbers:
An ID number (up to 12 digits) can be assigned to each product being
counted. This ID number can be used to identify the items on the print outs
and information sent to a computer.

a. To enter an ID number via the keypad:

1). With the scale in the weigh mode enter the ID number through
the keypad.
2). The number will be displayed in the quantity and weight
display. Press the ID key and the number will be stored in
memory.
3). The display will return to the weigh mode. When the count
information is sent to a printer or computer terminal, the ID
number will be part of the transmission.
4). To change the ID number when the PRINT key is depressed,
enter a new number from the keypad and press the ENTER
key. To keep the same ID number simply press the ENTER key.

b. To enter an ID number via the bar code scanner:

1). With the scale in the weigh mode and the scanner connected
to channel 1 or 2, scan the bar code for a part number
created by the Bar code printer or comparable bar code label
that is the same format as shown Appendix I section D2.
2). If the scan is successful, you will hear a beep from the scale
and the number will be displayed in the quantity and weight
display momentarily.
3). The display will return to the weigh mode. When the count
information is sent to a printer or computer terminal, the ID
number will be part of the transmission if the ID programming
mode was enabled during Programming.
4). To change the ID number when the PRINT key is pressed,
enter a new number from the keypad and press the ENTER
key. To keep the same ID number simply press the ENTER key.

2. Changing Sample Size:

It is sometimes desirable to change the size of the sample. To change the
sample size:

a. With the counting scale warmed-up and displaying zero, press the
SAMPLE key. The quantity display will flash “PU xx” where xx is the
current sample size.
05/02 31 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10
 b. While the display is flashing, press the appropriate numbers and then
press the ENTER key. The numerals will appear in the quantity display.
c. Press the SAMPLE key again. The quantity display will flash “PU”
and the new sample size. Place the indicated quantity on the
platform. Following a short delay the display will stop flashing,
signaling it is ready to count.

3. Auto Integrate:
This scale uses the light sample update feature. The light sampling Indicator
can be enabled or disabled. If enabled, the light sample indicator will flash if
the sample on the platform is too small to get an accurate piece weight value.
If the sample weight on the platform is less than 50 divisions, the light sample
indicator will flash. If the weight is changed by 5 divisions, the light sample
indicator will stop flashing.

a. With the light sample indicator flashing in the gross mode, press the
SAMPLE key. This activates the Auto Integrate feature. The quantity
display will indicate "A0". The "A0 xx" means to add to the sample on
the platform. (The "xx" is a number). Add UP to this number of pieces
to the sample on the platform. It is NOT necessary to count out the
sample. Slowly add pieces to the platform. The display will continually
update the count. Repeat until the light sample indicator goes Off. The
sampling process is complete. This new sample size number will be
requested on each succeeding sampling operation.

b. The alternative method is to change the sample size. When the light
sample legend flashes, remove the sample from the platform. The
scale will default back to the mode it was in before the sampling
process was started. Increase the sample size to a number sufficiently
large so the weight of the sample is at least 50 scale divisions.

4. Average Piece Weight:

If the average piece weight, or unit weight, is known, the value can be
entered directly into the counting scale. This speeds the operation, since it
avoids the sampling techniques described earlier. The operator does not
have to count out the sample quantity.

a. To enter a Unit weight via the keyboard:

1). Select the lb or kg weighing mode using the UNIT key.
2). Enter the average piece weight through the keypad. The
entered value will show in the quality display.

05/02 32 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10

 3). Press the UNIT WT key. The average piece weight will be
entered into memory and the display will return to the weigh
mode.
4). When the next group of objects are placed on the platform to
be counted, the average piece weight entered will be used to
arrive at a count.
5). This average piece weight will be used in counting until a new
average piece weight is entered or the SAMPLE key is pressed
and a new sample put on the platform. To clear the unit weight
memory, enter "0" through the keypad and press the UNIT WT
key.

b. To enter a Unit weight via the Bar code scanner:

1). With the scale in the weigh mode and the scanner connected
to channel 1 or 2, scan the bar code for a piece weight created
by the Bar code printer or comparable Bar code label that is
the same format as shown Appendix I section D2.
2). If scan is successful, you will hear a beep from the scale, the
number will be stored in memory and then displayed in the
quantity and weight display momentarily.
3). The display will return to the weigh mode.
4). When the count information is sent to a printer or computer
terminal, the unit weight will be part of the transmission.
5. Tares:
When containers are used to hold the items to be counted and the total
weight of items and container must be known, it is sometime faster if the
weight of the container is stored as a tare weight in the counting scale
memory. Always complete the sampling process prior to placing the empty
container onto the platform and entering it's weight into tare memory.

a. To enter a keyboard tare:

1). Remove all items from the platform and zero the scale by
pressing the ZERO key.
2). Place the empty container on the platform, and enter the
displayed weight through the keypad, then press the TARE
key.The scale will automatically change to the net weigh mode.
The display will show "0".
3). Items added to the container will be displayed in the quantity
display and the weight of these items will be shown in the
weight display.
4). Press the GROSS/NET key to return the scale to the gross
weigh mode and the total weight of items and container will be
displayed in the weight display.
05/02 33 50585 / SJ4639 Issue #10
 5). To clear the tare memory enter 0 through the keypad and press
the TARE key.

b. To enter a tare via the Bar code scanner:

1). With the scale in the weigh mode and the scanner connected
to channel 1 or 2, scan the bar code for tare created by the
Bar code printer or comparable Bar code label that is the
same format as shown Appendix I section D2.
2). If scan is successful, you will hear a beep from the scale and
the number will be stored in memory and then displayed in the
quantity and weight display momentarily.

3). The scale will automatically change to the NET weigh mode.
4). When the count information is sent to a printer or computer
terminal, the tare weight will be part of the transmission if the
scale is in the “NET” mode.

6. A/B/C Platforms:
Multiple platform counting operations are often used. One platform is used to
count the sample and a second platform is used to actually count large
quantities of the items

7. Removing Pieces From An Unknown Quantity:

a. Place the unknown quantity, with/without container, onto the platform.
b. Press the SAMPLE key.
c. Remove the required number of pieces.
d. Once the display stops flashing remove all the pieces. The number of
pieces removed will be displayed as count.

8. Auto Accumulate:
a. To reset the current accumulator values to zero,
