process meets prepackage
requirements for precision in filling.
The isi30-000Q Applications
Package offers the following
features:
– 100 product-memory modules
available for managing product
information
– Up to 15 parameters can be set
for each product (e.g., name,
nominal quantity, – T2 tolerance
limit, etc.)
– Sampling evaluation, tare
weighing and test weighing
– Automatic or manual storing
of weight values
– Statistical evaluation to meet legal
requirements, long-term statistics
for monitoring production
– Adjustment step indicated for
optimizing the packaging process
– Weight controls with symmetrical
tolerance limits – statistical process
controls (SPC)
– Test for consistency of medicinal
preparations in accordance
with European pharmacopoeia
regulations
These operating instructions contain
only descriptions of the functions
for checkweighing prepackaged
products, statistical process control
and weight controls in accordance
with European pharmacopoeia
regulations. Installation instructions,
scale-specific functions and instruc-
tions for device setup are contained

Operating Design
To configure the scale for check-
weighing prepackaged products,
you need to set certain parameters in
the application setup menu (e.g.,
base data, configuration, printout
format). Then you can begin
weighing. The description of the
operating design is divided into the
following sections:
– Data Input
– Display Modes
– Error Codes
– Storing Data
– Deleting Data
– Data Output
Data Input
Dialog Type
Data is entered in the isi30-000Q
application through the keys or using
a bar code scanner, mainly in dialog
form. There are two types of dialog:
– Select dialog
– Input dialog
Select Dialog
The selection text is displayed
in the weight display line or in the
application line (bottom line).
Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys
(Y and y) to select an option;
then press ENTER (L) to confirm
your selection.
Input Dialog
The parameter to be defined is
displayed in the weight display line
or the application line; enter a value
here (name or number).
Bar Code Scanner
All the data that you can input using
the keypad can also be entered
via bar code scanner.
Keys
Each key is described in detail in
the chapter entitled “Overview;“ only
the basic concept is described here.
All data entered are displayed in
the application line at the bottom of
the display (20 characters max.).
The keys are divided into 4 groups:
– Scale function keys
(tare, gross, etc.) (blue keys)
– Application function keys
– Numeric keys
– Keys for alphabetic characters
as well as correction and arrow keys
(cursor keys).
Operating Design
Scale Function Keys
These keys are blue color-coded,
and are assigned normal scale
functions. They are described in the
“Installation and Operating
Instructions“ for the “isi“ terminals.
Application Function Keys
These keys have light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) that light up during operation.
They are used to start application
functions (e.g., sampling or evaluation).
When a function key is pressed:
– the corresponding LED lights up
and a single beep tone (acoustic
signal) is sounded; or
– two beeps are sounded, indicating
that the key has no function or is
blocked in the current operational
status.
This provides for easy operation,
requiring few keys to be pressed.
For most keys, the symbol
indicating the function is not on
the key itself, but located
above the key.
Numeric Keys
The numeric keypad can be used
to enter both positive and negative
numbers, with decimal places.
Keys for Alphabetic Input
Press the a key before entering
letters. The LED lights up; now you
can enter letters.
Correcting Data Input
You can interrupt and cancel data
input by pressing C.
You can also use the j c x
and X keys to change or correct
the character string during input.

Display Modes Display During Operation (Example)

There is one display mode for 1 1 1 1

operation and another for
application setup. Information on the
application status or the selected 16 5 1 0.1

menus have a hierarchical structure
comprising several levels. The
“Application” menu item is displayed
at the highest level. There are
several submenus under this menu
item; “Base Dat.”, for example, is a Display During Configuration (Example)
submenu of the “Application” menu,
and is at the second menu level.
In the sample display at the right,
“Enter” is displayed as the last menu
item selected from the fourth level.
When a parameter has been
selected from a list of parameter
options, a small circle (6) is
displayed to the right of that
parameter option, and it is moved
to the top of the list.
When you select a submenu, the
level just above it is displayed

Error Codes
When a key is pressed which has no
function or is blocked at a certain
point in an application program, the
error is indicated as follows:
– the display shows an error
message for 2 seconds; then
returns to the previous display;
– a double-beep is sounded as an
acoustic signal.
This process is the same for all
operating modes (setup, application
program routines).
Error codes and messages are
described in detail in the section
entitled “Error Codes.”
Storing Data
Saving Configuration Settings
The application data are stored
in RAM which has backup battery
power, which means your
settings are not lost in the case
of a power outage.
When you turn on the isi30-000Q,
the most recent configuration settings
are active.
Blocking Access to Configurations
You can block access to the setup
menu by assigning a password.
You can also block access to each of
the following areas separately:
– Enter base data
– Delete base data
– Perform test weighing
– Delete statistics
– Delete individual values
during sampling
– Delete entire sampling series
Saving a Sampling Series
A sampling series may be interrupted
before it is completed. When
this is the case, a printout is
generated automatically which
includes the error message
“Sampling aborted.”
Deleting Data
Deleting Characters
You can delete an incorrect
character by pressing the c key.
Interrupt/Cancel Data Input
You can cancel input by pressing C,
as long as you have not yet
pressed L.
Operating Design
Data Output
You can choose from 3 forms
of data output:
– Display in the application line
– Printout on the YDP01IS-0CE
printer
– Output to the YDO01IS
COM port
Application Line
This line displays the following
data after a sampling:
– Average value of samples
– Long-term average
– Standard deviation
– Variance coefficient
– Sample size
– Number of values < –T2
– Number of values < –T1
– Number of values < –T
– Number of values > +T
– Individual values
– Machine adjustment instruction
Printer
You can connect a printer to the
isi30-000Q. In addition to the
standard printout, you can also
generate separate printouts of
a specific sampling series, product
lists, base data or statistics.
In the setup menu, you can configure
whether the printout includes a GMP
header and a GMP footer (space for
operator‘s signature). GMP stands
for Good Manufacturing Practice.
Communications Interface to an
External Computer
The isi30-000Q is equipped with an
SBI interface for data communication.
This is a simple ASCII interface.
The functions available through this
interface are described in the
respective “Interface Description.”
5
Application Setup
You need to define certain para-
meters in the isi30-000Q so that the
program can calculate weighing
data according to your requirements.
Access the application setup menu
to set these parameters.
Application setup is a part of the
general device setup (see the
“Installation and Operating
Instructions” for the “isi” industrial
terminal). The applications that
you select in application setup will
refer to these general configurations
in some cases to “decide” on
certain actions.
The application setup menu is
divided into 4 parts: Base Data,
Configuration, Printout and
Password.
There are two ways to access the
application setup menu:
– from within the general device
setup menu, by selecting the
“Application Setup” menu item, or
– from the operating mode, by
pressing the respective function
key [Setup].

Configuring the Program
Base Data
The isi30-000Q Application
Package is designed for use in
average weight control of
prepackaged products. Average
weight control is performed by
evaluating samples of the products.
There are large amounts of data to
be managed and processed relating
to the products and their containers
or packaging. The isi30-000Q has
memory locations for up to 100
products, allowing easy access to
all required data.
Product Memory
When you access product memory,
the amount of memory available
is displayed for 2 seconds in the
application line.
Entering Product Data
You can manage data, including the
following information, on 100
different products. Each of the 100
product memory locations can
contain the following data:
– Product name/number
(designation for ID)
– Machine designation (remark)
– Tolerance system (menu item [3])
REG: For products subject to
prepackage regulations

Sampling
When you turn on the isi30-000Q:
– The display segments are tested
(all segments light up)
– a self-test of the weighing range
is run
– the software version is displayed
for 2 seconds
The isi30-000Q is then ready to
operate. The measured value line
shows the weight of the load on the
weighing platform, and the prompt
Please press a key appears
in the application line.
Sampling results can be calculated
as average tare values, tare –>
gross values, gross –> tare values,
or as additive weighing, depending
on the “Control mode” setting.
Tare –> Gross
In sampling, the tare values must first
be determined individually; then
the containers are filled and weighed
in the same order, this time calculated
as gross values.
Gross –> Tare
If the filled containers are sealed
when they come from the filling
machine (e.g., bottles), the gross
weight is measured first. Containers
are then opened, emptied (destructive
testing) and the weighed in the
same order as tare values.
Additive Weighing
For additive weighing, the equipment
is automatically tared after the
measured value is stored. For
sampling, you can place the samples
on the weighing platform one after
another without having to remove the
previous sample (e.g., tablets).
Average Tare
Select this mode for determining the
nominal fill quantity with a given tare
value that applies to all packages.
The average tare can be determined
during sampling.

Skipping Measured Values Interrupting a Sample Series Tare Weighing

In the Tare –> gross control mode,
you can skip a gross value, for
example if the tare container is
defective. To do this, press the
[SKIP TARE] key instead of the gross
measurement. The same applies
when working in the Gross –>
tare mode.
Confirming Out-of-Tolerance Values
When a value exceeds a tolerance
limit (–T2, –T1, etc.), an error
message is displayed (–T2 ERROR,
–T1 ERROR, etc.). You can
configure whether this message must
be confirmed (see menu items [38]
to [41]).
When you select the REG tolerance
system, out-of-tolerance values must
be confirmed.
With a “PHARMA” tolerance system,
out-of-tolerance values are calculated
based on the average weight in
the sampling run, not on the nominal
quantity. This is why violations
can only be displayed at the end
of sampling. The out-of-tolerance
values must be confirmed.
In the Tare –> gross and Gross –>
tare control modes, you can interrupt
sampling by pressing f (the
series is “parked” in memory). You
can then process a new sample.
You can only interrupt one sample
at a time.
Press , when you want to resume
the interrupted series.
A “parked” sample remains in
memory even after the equipment is
turned off, either until you resume
the series (starting from the basic
weighing mode) or until you delete
it by pressing c f. An LED lights
up on the f key to indicate that
there is data in the “parking”
memory.
Ending a Sampling Routine
Before Completion
Press the [SAMPLE] key to end a
sampling routine before it has been
completed. The data collected
are stored. The data collected up to
that point will be included in the
evaluation.
Canceling a Sample
When you are working with an
average tare weight for
containers in sampling, the tare
weight must remain within
defined limits.
With the tare weighing function
you can determine whether the
“average tare” control mode is
allowable (configured in the
Setup menu for each product).
There must be at least 25 tare
values collected for tare
weighing. The resulting calcu-
lated average value is auto-
matically stored for the selected
product. The previously stored
tare weight for that product
is overwritten.
The printout will include an
indication as to whether the
setting
– “Average tare” is allowed, or
– “Individual tare” is required.
(See the example on the
following page)
In a histogram of tare weights,
the range from 50% to 150% of
the tare weight is divided into
categories of equal width.

You can cancel the last sample

completely by pressing c and
