Configuring Custody Transfer
14.1 About this chapter
This chapter explains how to configure the custody transfer application.
Note: The custody transfer is also known as the weights and measures application. The custody
transfer application is an optional feature of the Series 3000 device, and may not be installed on your
equipment. To verify that it is installed, use the View menu to list all installed applications (see
Section 17.5).
Failure to perform configuration tasks in the proper sequence could result in an incomplete
configuration. See Section 1.7 for the recommended configuration sequence.
14.2 About custody transfer
The custody transfer application is designed to allow compliance with weights and measures
requirements. While the Series 3000 device is “secured,” all device data can be viewed, but critical
device configuration and operation functions (e.g., starting and stopping totalizers) cannot be accessed
manually. Operational functions are performed automatically by the device according to existing
configuration. To perform these functions manually, the device must be “unsecured.”
In addition:
• A hardware switch and a weights and measures seal are used for physical security.
• A security breach alarm is posted if the hardware switch is toggled or the core processor is
replaced.
• For some ticket types, if the ticket is printed while a security breach alarm is active, or while a
batch is in progress, a note is added to the ticket.
For a more detailed description of device behavior when the device is “secured” or “unsecured,” see
Chapter 19.
CAUTION
Changing configuration can affect device operation.
Set control devices for manual operation before changing device configuration.
