1.0 SETTING UP AND TURNING ON THE SCALES

GK indicator: It must be connected to a load cell platform and calibrated as necessary to match the platform
and user requirements.

GBK/GFK scales: There is a pillar which 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. Then place the platform in the base.
Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. Attach the indicator module to the pillar by sliding it over the
bracket with the flanges engaged in the groves on the base. Attach the cable from the base to the
connector on the rear of the indicator. Attach the power to the indicator.

After completion of setting up, press the [On/Off] key on the rear of the indicator. The software revision
number will be displayed followed by a self-test showing all digits before the zero is displayed along with the
unit of weight that was selected last.

NOTE: The GK and GBK/GFK can be operated from the rechargeable battery. With a single load cell and
backlight disabled the life is approximately 70 hours before needing to be recharged. The battery should be
charged for 12 hours for full capacity.

2.0 OPERATION

2.1 ZEROING
You can press the [Zero] key at any time to set the zero point from which all other weighing and counting is
measured. The scales have an automatic re-zeroing
function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of
material on a connected platform. However you may
need to press [Zero] to re-zero the indicator if small
amount of weight is still shown when the platform is
empty.

2.2 TARING
To determine a weight of sample which is using a container, you need to tare the empty container.
GK/GBK/GFK scales supply two methods of tare: manual tare and preset tare.

Manual Tare

Zero the indicator by pressing [Zero]. The zero indicator will be on. Place a container on the pan.

Press [Tare] when the reading is stable. The weight that was displayed is
stored as the tare value, leaving zero on the display. The stable and Net
indicator will be on.

As a sample is added only the weight of the product will be shown. The
indicator could be tared a second time if another type of product was added
to the first one.

Press [Tare] or [Zero] to remove the tare value and display zero. The Net indicator will disappear.

Page3 © Adam Equipment Company 2013


Preset Tare

When the indicator or scale is at zero with no weight on the platform it is possible to enter a preset tare. First
zeroing the scale, enter a value using the numeric keys. Press [Tare] to tare the indicator. The value that
was entered is stored as the tare value and it is subtracted from the display, leaving a negative number on
the display.

To change the weighing unit press the [Unit] key. The only alternative weighing unit is pounds. OIML
Approved models, GK-M, GBK-M, GFK-M do not allow pounds units

NOTE: This function is not available in GK-M, GBK-M, GFK-M models.

2.3 PARTS COUNTING


The scale can be used to count parts based on the average weight of a sample weighed. If a container is to
be used, place this container on the platform before entering parts counting and press [Tare]. Press [Cnt] to
enter the Parts Counting mode.

The display will show the last sample size used. For example, “10 Pcs”. To
change the sample size, you can press [CE] to clear the last values and then
enter the value 20 using the numeric keypad.

Place the right number of parts on the platform. Then press [Cnt] to determine
an average piece weight. After the sample has been weighed the scale will
count any other parts added by applying the average piece weight to the weight
of the parts to be counted.

During parts counting the display can be changed to show the net weight, unit weight and number of parts by
each time pressing the [Func] key.

To count a different sample quantity, press the [Count] key. And operate as above. To return to weighing,
press [Unit] when “XX pcs” is displayed.

NOTE: If the parts are too light to measure accurately, the count may become faulty. It is suggested that the
samples to be weighed should each weigh more than the resolution of the indicator.

2.4 CHECK-WEIGHING
Check-weighing is a procedure to display an indicator or sound an alarm when the weight on the platform
meets or exceeds the values stored in the memory. The memory holds values for a high limit and a low limit.
Either or both the limits can be set by the user.

The LCD display will indicate whenever the weight is within or exceeds the limits by showing “OK” (mass is
between the limits), “HI”(mass is above the high limit) or “LO”( mass is below the low limit).

The limits can be locked by the manager (see the menu structure section) .A Limit Password must be used
to change the limits or recall other limits from memory.

Setting up the limits

In normal weighing, Press the [Low Limit] key. It will show the current low limit. The “LO” symbol will appear
on the display.

Press the [CE] key to clear the old value and then enter the new low limit using the numeric keys. Then
press [Tare] to accept the value. If you want to reset the value to zero, press [CE] to clear the value. The
limits are displayed in the weighing unit in use.

To set the high limit press [High Limit], the “HI” symbol will be on. Set the high limit in the same way the low
limit was set. Pressing the [Tare] key to enter the value will return the scale to weighing, with the Check-
weighing function enabled. During parts counting and percent weighing, the limits are set in the same way
as above. The limits are displayed in pcs or %.

To disable the check weighing function, enter zero into both the limits as described above. When the current
limits are shown, press [CE] to clear the settings, then press [Tare] to store the zero values.

NOTE: The weight must be greater than 20 scale divisions for check-weighing to operate.

Limits storing and recalling

The indicator can store up to 10 sets of high and low limits in memory along with the weighing units in use
(including pcs and %) as well as settings for the beeper and bar graph. During Check weighing the current
limits can be stored or previously stored units can be recalled.

If you are already in the check weighing mode the display will ask if you wish to
store the current limits by showing “StOrE” or recall another set of limits by
showing “rECALL”. The [Lim] key can be used to toggle between “StOrE” and
“rECALL”.

If you want to store the limits, when “StOrE” is displayed press the [Tare] key.
The display shows “St ”. Enter a number corresponding to the desired memory
location (0 to 9). “St X” will be displayed for 2 seconds indicating the location X
where the current limits, weighing units and settings for the beeper and bar
graph are stored. The indicator will continue to work with the current settings as
active.

Page5 © Adam Equipment Company 2013


If you wish to recall any of the pre-stored limits, press [Tare] when “rECALL” is
displayed. The display shows “rEC”. Enter the number corresponding to the
desired memory location (0 to 9) to be recalled. “rEC X” will be displayed for 2
seconds indicating the values stored in the location “X” is being recalled. The
indicator will change to the recalled limits, weighing units and settings for the
beeper and bar graph.

NOTE: If the recalled limit is for parts counting or percent weighing, the display will show the last sample
value used, ready for a new sample to be counted.

2.5 PERCENT WEIGHING


The scale will use a mass on the platform as the 100% reference weight or input a reference weight using
the keypad.

Steps:

If using a reference weight (or object) as your 100% reference, add the weight to the platform. Press [Func].
The first option is “FUnC 1”, press the [Func] key 3 more times to display “FUnC 4”

Press the [Tare] key. “F4 PCt” will be displayed. Press [Tare] again to enter percent weighing. The scale will
set the sample mass on the platform as 100% reference weight.

NOTE: If there is no reference weight on the pan and percent weighing function is entered, pressing [Tare]
again will return the indicator to normal weighing.

Remove the sample weight. Then any other weight placed on the platform will be displayed as a percentage
of the original sample.

Users can also input the reference weight using the keypad. Make sure the platform is empty and when “F4
PCT” is displayed, enter the weight to be used for the 100% reference, then press [Tare] to accept the
reference weight. The display will show “0.00 %”.

If the indicator shows “x x . x x %”, which is the last weight used as a reference, press [CE] to clear and use
the numeric keypad to enter a new value. Press [Tare] to accept the new reference weight.

Press [Unit] to return to normal weighing.

NOTE: The weight entered must be greater than 50 scale divisions.

The display may jump by large numbers unexpectedly if small weights are used to set as 100% reference.
The indicator checks if the weight is too small and will show Error 7.

2.6 ANIMAL (DYNAMIC) WEIGHING
Steps:

Press [Func]. The first option is “FUnC 1”, press the [Func] key 3 more times to display “Func 4”.

Press the [Tare] key. “F4 PCt” will be displayed. Press the [Func] key to advance to the second function, “F4
AnL”, Animal weighing. And Press [Tare] to enter.

To use the Animal Weighing function it is necessary to set the amount of filtering. More active animals will
require a higher level of filtering to give a stable result. The display will show “Filt x” where x is a value from 1
to 5. To increment the value shown press the [Func] key then press the [Tare] key to accept it.

The display will flash “Ani “ 2 times then show the current weight, 0.00. The scale is now ready to weigh.
Place containers or blankets onto the platform and press the [Tare] key to zero the display. Place the animal
to be weighed on the platform.

When a stable reading is found, the display will show and lock this value, The display will show the “Hold”
symbol .Remove the animal, the display will hold the weight value.

Press the [Unit] key to unlock the display. The display will flash “Ani” twice, and be ready for the next
animal.

Press [zero] key to return to normal weighing.

2.7 ACCUMULATED TOTAL
The indicator can be set to accumulate when a weight is added to the platform automatically or manually by
pressing [Print]. See menu structure section. The accumulation function is available only during weighing. If
at any time the weighing units are changed, the accumulated data will be lost.

Manual Accumulation
When the scale is set to manual accumulation, the weight displayed will be stored in the memory when the
[Print] key is pressed and the weight is stable.

Steps :

Remove the weight and press [Print] when the display is at zero. The display
will show "ACC 1" and then the weight in memory for 2 seconds before returning
to normal. The weight can be output to a printer or PC using the RS-232
interface.

When the indicator is at zero, place a second weight on the platform. When
stable, press [Print] to accumulate the weight. The display will show "ACC 2"
for 2 seconds and then show the new total.

Continue until all weights have been added. This can continue for up to 99 entries until the capacity of
display is exceeded.

To view the total in memory, press the [Print] key when the indicator is at zero. The display will show the
total number of accumulation "ACC xx" and the total weight before returning to zero.

To print the total, press [Print] to recall and then immediately press [Print] the second time to print the
results. To erase the memory, press [Print] to view the total and then immediately press [CE] to clear the
memory.

Automatic Accumulation
When the indicator has been set to Automatic Accumulation the value will be stored in memory automatically.

Place a weight on the platform. The beeper will sound when the display is stable indicating the value is
accepted. Remove the weight. The display will show "ACC 1" and then the total in the memory before it
returns to zero. Adding a 2nd weight will repeat the process.

While the weight is on the platform, press the [Print] key to view the values- first the accumulation number
"ACC x" and then the total will be shown.

4.0 CALIBRATION
The scale can be calibrated using kilogram weights or using pounds weights,(for OIML models, pound is
disabled) depending on the weighing unit selected at the time of calibration.

Steps:

To start the calibration, turn the scale off and switch on again and then press [Tare] during the self-test.
Enter code number 0000 and press [Tare]. This will take you directly to the calibration section or you can get
into the calibration section through the Indicator Settings (“FUnC 3”- see menu structure).

The display will show "UnLoAd"

Remove all weight from the platform and then press the [Tare] key when the display is stable. After the Zero
point is set, the display will show “Ld xx”. Place the suggested calibration mass on the platform. It is best to
use a weight close to the full capacity of the indicator.

If the mass is different from the displayed value, enter the value of the mass in whole numbers. The kg or
the lb symbol will be on to show the active unit. Press the [Tare] key when the stable indicator is on.

When complete, it will display “PASS” and then either display “S8 CAL” (if entered the calibration section
through the Scale Settings) or return to normal weighing (if entered directly). Remove the calibration mass.

If an error message “FAIL H” or “FAIL L” is shown, re-check the calibration and repeat. If the error cannot be
corrected contact your supplier.

4.1 CALIBRATION COUNTER FOR APPROVED SCALES

The approved (GK-M, GBK-M, GK-M Models) scales have the ability to control access to the calibration or
metrology parameters using a passcode to limit access. The requirements for doing this stipulate the code
should be apparent and recorded in a suitable location on the scale.

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 is from the counter memory. Then the
Parameter Counter message of “PAr[nt” and probably a different number. The counters cannot be reset to
0, they will increment until the display can no longer hold the values. (1 to 999999). The scale will then
continue to do the display test and go to normal weighing.

If during the time the counting displays are shown, the user presses the [Tare] key, the user will be given a
message to enter the passcode necessary to calibrate the scale, “P - - - - “ Enter the code “P0000” to
Enter calibration or “P1000” to enter the parameters, followed by pressing the [Tare] key.
The Calibration access will allow user calibration and the parameter code will allow access to the following
parameters.
