Frequently Asked Questions

Disabled setpoints are used for default functions, so in the Weigh In or Weigh Out modes these are used for Fast/Slow fill or Refill functions. This is hard coded and cannot be configured/changed by user.

Our engineers are strategically positioned across the UK to ensure prompt responses when needed. Customers with a service agreement benefit from preferential call-out rates and response times. For more information, please contact ServiceDesk@aw.co.uk

Load cell cables can be cut to tidy the installation. However, it is advisable to ensure that each load cell in the system has cables of similar length. This helps maintain uniform load cell sensitivities and prevents potential cornering issues.

No. Each load cell in a weighing system should have the same capacity. Using load cells of different capacities will result in varied outputs among the load cells, causing weighing errors.

The calibration frequency will depend on your system and application; also, on your ISO requirements, if any. As a standard the calibration is carried out once a year, with more frequent checks on systems and more often recalibration if necessary.

Yes, Filtering is applicable for both display values and analogue values.

If your unit has Ethernet TCP/IP option card:

Connect the Target/Status to a network. Look up the get current IP address: Menu-> Ethernet Card-> TCP/IP Info.

Open any browser on the PC connected to the same network as unit. Enter the “IP address” found from unit in the address line.

Username and password pop up will appear, enter “root” as username and “password” as password.

A new webpage should be present now. Here you can change IP address in the “Network” tab. Click on “Apply” to complete the change.

If your unit has Profinet/Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP/Profibus option card, the IP address can be modified by using IPCONFIG application.

The IPCONFIG can be downloaded from the Manuals section. Once installed, connect the Target/Status to the network.

Open IPCONFIG application and scan for devices, once scanning is completed you will see devices available in the list, select required device and can allocate Static/Dynamic IP address. Click Apply/Save.
