The system makes measurements in the background while the material is processed in
the normal way, so if the following conditions occur, the equipment will auto-set to zero,
without any external intervention.
If the smart setting of zero (INTELZERO) is active (ON), with the conveyor belt in motion
and within the low load value, it automatically starts the process of setting zero in
background mode, ie the weighing system is still working independently. This process
takes as long as you set on the corresponding parameter, if not interrupted by the lack
of effective to the above terms. The user is aware of the implementation process
through the blinking of the string "* CB" on the screen.
If for some reason, while doing the process, it detects the arrival of material over the

SELECTING A TOTALIZER
The scale has 3 totalizers of accumulated tons: general (T), partial 1 (P1) and partial 2
or net (NT). It is also equipped with an operating hours counter (H) so that you can keep
track of the hours actually worked by the conveyor (in progress with material). All these
counters are available from the display of operation:
Q:XXX.XX KXXX.XX
T:XXXXX.XX
PRESS F7 → Alternate between counters:
T → P1 → NT → H → ERFG → ERFP → ET → RT → T
IMPORTANT: When unit is turned off, the next time you switch it will be visible the
totalizer / counter which was selected last time.
EMPTY RUNNING FACTOR
The weighing system is able to analyze the state of production, in concrete the
performance, relating the idle time with respect to total running time. This indicator or
factor is called Empty Running Factor (ERF), which is a dimensionless value result of
the following operation:
ERF = TIME IN EMPTY STATE / TOTAL TIME RUNNING
Therefore, poor performance of the conveyor belt generates values of ERF close to 1,
and a high performance places this value near 0.
The scale has 2 ERF available, one of them referred to as global (ERFG) and the other
as partial (ERFP). The ERFG keeps track of this factor since the launch of the weighing
system, it is impossible to reset, by definition. The ERFP contains the value of this factor
since the last time it was zeroed, thus being useful for obtaining performance
information in controllable plots of time (1 day, 1 month, etc.).
You can view this data in the same menu and the same way as explained in the
previous section (SELECTING A TOTALIZER), so that the sequence of pulses of the F7
key allows to access to these indicators.
Besides ERFG and ERFP, you can display the partial empty time (ET) and total partial
running time (RT), presented in hours, with 3 decimals.
Because ERFP is understood as a partial counter, its zeroing is performed in the same
way as for the other partial counters (P1 and NT), which is explained below.

ACCESS CODE
IMPORTANT: In normal operation it is only possible view configuration settings,

not being able to make modifications to them, except zeroing the counters. (In
systems with flow control, you can change the setpoint to regulate flow).
Before changing the parameters, it is necessary to unlock the passcode.

MONITORING STOP OF THE CONVEYOR

If it stops the belt while carrying load and there is no speed tester connected, may lead
to a slight error in the totalizer. To avoid this problem is to replace the interconnect white
cable from the "QUAD" card (terminals 7 and 8) by an auxiliary contact of contactor
control of the conveyor belt, potential free, so it will be open with conveyor stops, and
will be closed otherwise.

INITIAL START UP.
IMPORTANT: Remember that you are installing a precision measuring equipment. The
final accuracy depends on the installation and commissioning.
When the plant personnel be responsible for the initial startup the following points should
be noted.
1. Place the weighing bridge in a suitable place. Consult the instruction manual carefully
and mounting recommendations. Consult factory any questions.
2. The weighing bridge can be coupled to the conveyor and the roller station in different
ways. See the best method for installation.
3. Observe with special attention the roller station weighing bridge must be equal
to the front and back. If the weighing bridge is correctly assembled with the belt up
and empty, they must rotate all the rollers of the station bridge, the front and back.
Often the comment: "Although empty do not rotate all rotate when carrying
material," WEIGHT OF MATERIAL THAT BELT NEEDS TO TURN THE ROLLER WILL
NOT BE measured by the scale properly. Remember that precision equipment
NEEDS SOME ATTENTION. A roller station WEIGHER not aligned properly can fail
in the measure. You can adjust the height of the bridge and weighing roller station
from different points. Consult factory.
4. The bridge is supplied with weighing locking screws load cells to avoid damage
in the transport and installation. Locking screws (red painted) are located at the
lateral ends of the part where the roller station is coupled. Remove the screws
CELL BLOCK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BRIDGE WEIGHING, to release the cells
and allow proper operation.

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
5. Place the speedometer on your fork making sure that the rotation is according to the
direction of travel of the return of the band. Check mounting arm and documentation
section.
6. Connect the shielded cable in box ATD-PDSP connections at the bridge weighing and
control unit. Connect the shield / screen to earth at both ends of the cable.
7. Program / verify the different parameters in the control unit.
8. Start running the belt without product (empty), check speed display meter, load cells,
and rotate all the rollers. Perform tare /zero procedure.
9. Check weighing standard weights (correct if the calibration gain / weight parameter is
required) or material loading truck / trailer (if the gain correcting belt effect parameter is
required).
Consult your service ATD if necessary.

1. Review of the physical conditions of weighing bridge
Check the correct rotation of idlers and the seating of the band on them.
The idlers of the weighing station, its previous and its subsequent, must turn
correctly. Checking locks absence because of stones or strange elements.
2. Testing parameters in BPC-251 control unit
By accessing the programming menu, according to paragraph 1.7 of this document,

verify that the parameters are the same as those listed on the sheet to adjust the
weighing system.
Listed here are the most relevant:
 Flow 100%
 Static gain
 Inclination
 Band gain
 Speed
 Zeroing time
 Low load level
 Idler distance
 Maximum weight
 Smoothing
 Intelzero
 Relay change
NOTE: If there is variation between the observed and the content in the data sheet,
reprogram them according to the values written in it. Previously must disable the
access code according to paragraph 1.20, so that the keys F4, F5, F6 and F7 are
operational.
3. Implementation of automatic zeroing
Start the automatic calibration process, according to paragraph 1.8 (F1 + F4).
Once completed, must receive the message "LW" (low loads) on the screen, while
the values of K and Q are close to zero. These values were due to variations caused
by movement of the conveyor belt.
4. Placement of standard weights in the weighing bridge supports

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
Once the zeroing process is finished, with conveyor belt moving and empty, the
value displayed in the window as "K" has to correspond with the pattern weight
placed on the bridge, with the proper vibrations due to movement of the conveyor.
If necessary, tweak it by changing the net weight gain (parameter 2) to achieve the
desired weight in K (Section 1.9). Once done, exit with F2 key.
5. Adjustment via contrast with trucks weighed in static scale:
If there are differences between the made and the recorded in the totalizer (T),
proceed as follows:
Calculate the error of the continuous weighing system of excess or defect (in %).
Calculate the correct value of the band gain with the following operation:
NEW BAND GAIN = OLD GAIN X CARGO TRUCK / LOAD ACCUM. IN ATD BPC
If necessary, tweak it by changing the band gain parameter to achieve the desired
value. Once done, exit with F2 key.
6. End of adjustment process. IMPORTANT
Enable access code by pressing F1 and waiting for the system reboot. You can do
this by disconnecting the supply voltage (approximately 10 seconds).
Note the new parameters in the data sheet.
At this point, the system is ready to operate.

APPLICATION RECOMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLING A BELT CONVEYOR
SCALE IN A CONVEYOR
1.Caring for the idler stations are as close as possible to those in installation. Caring
for the angle of the troughs.
2. The idlers of the weighing station, the station before and after should be
especially careful because their livelihood depends on maintaining the
accuracy of the systems. When the belt runs and empty, all idlers must rotate.
The idler weighing station, the previous and after, must be equal.
3. The belt must have a tight enough tension to skate and not loose enough to
flex material carrying. A very tight belt prevents the sensor (placed below the
belt) to receive 100% of the weight and could cause changes in calibration.
4. The weight ratio of belt (tare) weight of material carried (net) is important to
take care of important details. If no belt is installed, we recommend the
installation of a belt that is as light as possible so that the weight ratio
material / weight belt is greater.
5. In this case for a definite flow of interest that the speed of the belt whenever
possible to achieve a higher level of weight of product / material .
6. The wheel of the speedmeter must be clean, because if the diameter increases
there will be measurement error.
7. It is advisable to perform work or get on the belt in the area of weighing bridge, to
protect load cells.
8. Clean the bridge when it appears amount of accumulated material. The evidence
accumulated during the slack prevents cells move properly, blocking, producing both
positive and negative errors, depending on the effort.
9. It would be advisable to make regular zeroing to eliminate the effect of dirt in the
area of scale. The belt must be in movement and empty.
10. For the calibrations should compare the systems on the scale weighing of trucks /
trailers. In spite appropriate test load trailers as large as possible, to eliminate the
minimum resolution error of weighing systems. Once calibrated the systems, the
introduction of truck weights are not important because the error is bounded. The
weight of large trucks is for calibration of the weighing system.
11. To correct calibrations should weigh at least 50% of normal flow, ie about 30
minutes.The higher weight the better material contrast. Observe the minimum
resolution of the totalizer.
12. The scale must maintain the inclination of the conveyor where you are staying.
No problem on the degree of tilt to 35 degrees while the material does not roll or slip
backwards as it would error in weighing the measure twice.

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
13. The placement of lateral overflow limiters to prevent the collapse of material on
the sides, fails tare, variable depending on the hardness of rubber protection, it will
also be affected by temperature changes. When protections are old, reduce their
effort. The supporting material transported on the limiter can not be measured
properly because of the weight rests on the fixed structure of the limiter. To avoid
these problems is advisable not to place limiters in the idler distance near the
weighing bridge. If necessary it is recommended that material be as thin and flexible
as possible, like trying to reduce the contact area with the belt, to avoid possible
errors in measured weight.

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
APPLICATION GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLING A BELT CONVEYOR SCALE IN A
CONVEYOR
The most important consideration in the use and installation of belt conveyor scales
is the application of the scale to the conveyor. The major cause for non-
performance has been the misapplication of the scale to the conveyor in most poor
performance scales.
The key to successfully applying the scale to the conveyor is to avoid locating the
scale in any area of the conveyor where it is subjected to excessive belt tension or
lifting of the conveyor belt. Always remember that the conveyor belt is an integral
part of the scale and, as such, must remain in contact with the weigh bridge at all
times.
The guidelines on the following pages must be adhered to for applications requiring
a high performance guarantee.
1.Lowest Tension Area
The first general rule that applies is to locate the scale in the area of lowest tension on
the conveyor. This location is normally near the tail pulley of the conveyor. High belt
tension adversely affects the accuracy of the scale.

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
2.Material Transition
The material to be weighed must settle on the belt before it is weighed. This
requires allowing a specified length of conveyor for the material to accelerate up to
the speed of the belt. The factors that influence this distance are:
Belt Speed
Conveyor Angle or Inclination
Material lump size
Type of Transition
Generally, the following guidelines apply:
Belt Speed Minimum Distance
0.5 - 1.5 m/s. 0.9 - 1.2 m

1.5 - 2 m/s. 1.8 - 2.4 m
2-3 m/s. 2.7 - 3.6 m
3-4 m/s. 3.6 - 4.5 m
over 4 m/s. 6 m
The distance is measured from the end of the infeed skirtboards to the idler
adjacent to the weigh bridge.
NOTE: A minimum of two idlers must be installed between the end of the infeed
skirtboards and the first scale idler.
3.Belt Transition
On short conveyors, where the scale may be located close to the head pulley, there
must be a minimum number of fixed idlers between the scale weighbridge and the
head pulley to avoid the lifting effect created by transitioning from the troughing
idlers to the flat or crowned head pulley. The higher the troughing angle, the greater
the effect - and the more idlers needed between the scale and the head pulley.

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
4.Belt Take-Up
An automatic take-up is recommended to maintain a uniform belt tension. The take-

up should not introduce excessive belt tension and should be designed to allow the
addition or removal of counterweights. A vertical gravity take-up is recommended
for high accuracy installations.
5. Training Idler
3 Roll In-Line Idlers are required on the scale weighbridge and 3 to 4 idlers either
side. The idler eccentricity tolerance should be 0.5 mm. max. for high accuracy
installations.
Catenary or cable idlers must be avoided as well as off-set idlers.
Training idlers must not be located within 12 m either side of the scale.
6. Construction

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
The conveyor structure must be rigid and resist deflection underload. Rope
conveyors require a rigid section with four fixed idlers either side of the scale
weighbridge.
Expansion joints must not be located in the area of the scale 9 m. either side.
7.Conveyor Inclination
The conveyor inclination must not exceed the angle at which the material will slide
backward and be reweighed. Normally, most conveyor companies are aware of the
critical angle.
The inclination of the conveyor should also be fixed at one angle. Errors will result
with changes in inclination. We can incorporate an inclinometer in PDSP (optional)

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
8. Curves – Concave
If the conveyor has a concave curve, the scale must be located at least 10 m from
the point of tangency, to avoid lifting effects of the belt.
9. Curves - Convex
If the conveyor has a convex curve, the scale should be located:

20° Idlers X = 2.5 m. or 2 Idlers
350 Idlers X = 3.5 m. or 3 Idlers
450 Idlers X = 5.0 m. or 4 Idlers
10.Trippers
If the conveyor is provided with a tripper, the scale must be located at a point 40
feet from the point of tangency of the belt - with the tripper fully retracted toward
the tail pulley.

USER MANUAL BPC 25x
11. Multiple Feed Points
Conveyors with multiple feed points should be avoided when high accuracy is
required.
12.Non-Uniform Loading
If the feed to the conveyor is not uniform, plows and leveling plates should be
installed to reshape and smooth out the load. Apron feeders often create non-
uniform loading.
13.Windbreaks
If the scale location will be subjected to wind velocities over 10 Km/h, windbreaks
should be installed. The windbreak should extend 12 m. to either side of the scale
and 1 m. above and below the belt line. The windbreaks should be attached to the
sides of the conveyor and a section should be easily removable for inspection of
the scale.
NOTE: For outside applications, the conveyor must be fitted with a protective cover.
14. Infeeds
The infeed to the conveyor must be interruptible to allow for empty belt calibration.
If a prefeed device is used, electrical circuitry should be provided to operate the
scale conveyor independently of the prefeed device. If the conveyor "drags" the
material from a storage bin, the bin should be fitted with a cutoff gate.
