Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
Unpacking the Scale CAUTION! The weigh module is a fragile precision mechanism. Do not turn the scale upside down allowing the load cell stem (or weighing surface if installed) to touch any surface, and do not put pressure on the load cell stem. Pressure on the load cell stem could damage the load cell and void the warranty. (The stem is the post protruding from the top of your scale that supports the weighing surface.)
Unpack all items carefully. If possible, do not discard the packaging material. Only GSE packaging material may be used to ship this product. Shipping this product without the GSE packaging material will void the warranty.
Installation Note – Do not plug the power cord into the scale until step 6!
1. Place the scale on an unobstructed surface. 2. Level the Model 664 by referring to the level bubble located on the top of the
scale, under the weighing platter. Adjust the leveling feet on the front corners until the bubble is in the center.
3. Gently place the stainless steel weigh platter and it’s support structure onto the load cell stem located on the top of the scale.
4. Unfold the scanner gooseneck and swivel the top holder 180 °. 5. Plug the scanner into the connecter marked “Barcode Scanner” located in the
back of the Model 664. (Note: Be careful not to use the other similar connector!). Secure the cable to the Model 664 by tightening the screw posts on each side of the connector. Place the scanner in the holder at the top of the scanner stand.
6. Insert the white tip at the end of the AC power module cable into the hole labeled “Power” on the back of the Model 664, keeping the notched edge facing upward. The black over-molding should engage into the rear panel hole slightly.
7. Plug the AC power supply into a standard 110 VAC wall socket.

Chapter 2: OPERATION After the Model 664 goes through the power up sequence, Scan NDC will be displayed. From this mode it is possible to count or compound. Follow the instructions in this chapter for different methods of counting and compounding.
Counting Methods
SAVE OR RECALL AN NDC Scan a stock bottle to recall the drug from the database or store a new drug to the database.
1. Scan the stock bottle. If the NDC is not found in the database, a screen will prompt the user to select from one of the displayed NDC numbers. If the NDC number was found, the Model 664 will proceed to step 4.
2. Compare the printed NDC number found on the stock bottle label to the ones displayed. Select the correct NDC number by pressing the digit associated with that number. See Select the Correct NDC Number on page 8 for more details.
3. The display will prompt “Save as new NDC?”. If the number is correct, place the counting boat on the scale platter and press [ENTER/YES] to save it to the database.
4. If the NDC was saved the count screen will appear. Add 30 pieces and press
[ENTER/YES] or key in a desired amount, add that amount, and press [ENTER/YES].
8
The NDC and average piece weight are now stored to the database. Now each time the same NDC number is scanned, the average piece weight will be recalled and the Model 664 will go right to the count screen.
NOTE: Press [CANCEL/NO] at any time to cancel and return to the Scan NDC screen.
Select the Correct NDC Number The barcode on the stock bottle is a 10-digit number. The NDC number needs to be an 11-digit number. There are three fields within the NDC number. See the table below for the required digits per field. A leading zero or zeros will be added to the field that does not match.
Number of Digits First Field 5 Second Field 4 Third Field 2
Example: The NDC number printed on the stock bottle is 62037-871-30.
6 2 0 3 7 – 8 7 1 – 3 0
5 digits 3 digits 2 digits
In this case the second field would have a leading zero since it only has 3 digits instead of 4. The correct NDC number choice would be:
[2] 62037-0871-30.
QUICK SAMPLE The quick sample mode offers a fast way to count without database recall or scanning a label first.
Sample 30 pieces: 1. If a container is being used to count pieces in, place it on the scale platter now.
9
2. Press [QUICK SAMPLE] to enter the count mode. The scale will zero and prompt Add 30. The display may read Must Sampl if an average piece weight has not been established or power has been cycled.
3. Place a sample of 30 pieces on the scale platter or in a container and press [ENTER].
4. Continue adding pieces to count.
NOTE: Press [CANCEL/NO] at any time to abort the quick count mode.
Sample A Known Amount: 1. If a container is being used to count pieces in, place it on the scale platter now. 2. Press [QUICK SAMPLE] to enter the count mode. The scale will zero and
prompt Add 30. The display may read Must Sampl if an average piece weight has not been established or power has been cycled.
3. Place the sample on the scale platter or in the container. Key in the known sample size and press [ENTER]. Example: [9] [0] [ENTER]
4. Continue adding pieces to count.
The keypad of the Model 664 is marked with MSS: 10 and MPW: 0.03 g. The MSS is the minimum sample size required in Legal for Trade applications. The MPW is the minimum piece weight required in Legal for Trade applications. Each individual piece weight (MPW) must be at least 30 mg and the minimum sample size (MSS) must be equal to or greater than 10 pieces. The total piece weight will be a minimum of 300 mg.
If the above conditions are not met, an error will be displayed. Follow the instructions on the display to continue.
10
Manual NDC Entry In some cases a stock bottle will not have a barcode to scan. However, the NDC number is printed on the label. Follow the steps below to enter a NDC number and save it to the database.
1. Locate the NDC number on the stock bottle. In most cases, the stock bottle will be missing a digit in at least one of the fields. If this is the case, key in a zero or zeroes at the beginning of the field and then the number in that field. See the table below for the required digits per field. See Select the Correct NDC Number on page 8 for more details.
2. Enter the NDC number for each field.
NOTE: If the required number of digits is entered in a field, the cursor will proceed to the next field and pressing [ENTER] is not necessary.
NOTE: If a mistake was made during entry, pressing [CANCEL] will clear the entire field.
3. Review the number entered on the display. If the number is correct press [ENTER] to save the NDC to the database.
Clear a Drug from the Database 1. Scan the stock bottle from the Scan NDC screen. 2. If the NDC number was found in the database, the count screen will be
displayed. 3. Press the [DATABASE] key.
Number of Digits First Field 5 Second Field 4 Third Field 2
11
5. Press [1] to delete the drug.
4. The next screen will affirm whether you want to delete the drug. Press
[ENTER/YES] to delete the selected drug or [CANCEL/NO] to cancel. 5. If [ENTER/YES] was pressed, “Drug Deleted” will be shown for a few
seconds and then the display will return to Scan NDC. 6. If [CANCEL/NO] was pressed, the display will return to the counting mode.
Use the [CANCEL] or [DATABASE] key to exit out of the DATABASE SELECTIONS menu.
Add New Drug This will only be necessary if two NDC number are similar or the wrong NDC number was chosen previously.
1. Scan the stock bottle from the Scan NDC screen. If the NDC number was found in the database, the count screen will be displayed and the drug does not need to be added. Otherwise, go to step
2. Press the [DATABASE] key.
3. Press [2] to add new drug.
12
4. Select the correct NDC number for the choices displayed. 5. If the NDC was saved the count screen will appear. Add 30 pieces and press
[ENTER/YES] or key in a desired amount, add that amount, and press [ENTER/YES].
Compounding The weigh increment for compounding is set to 310 x 0.001 grams as a default. It is possible to change the value to be 310 x 0.01 grams. Refer to page 5 for further instructions on changing the weigh increment. If the scale is set to 310 x 0.001 grams, the last digit will be inverted. This inverted digit is required by NTEP. See page 15 for more details on legal for trade requirements.
If the last digit is fluctuating up and down, this is most likely caused by air currents or vibrations being transmitted to the scale through the countertop. Either eliminate these external influences or change the weight increment to show only two digits after the decimal using the setup menu, as described on page 5.
1. To access the compounding mode from the Scan NDC Label screen press [WEIGH/COUNT]
2. If desired place an empty container on the scale. Then press zero to re-zero the scale. Once the displayed weight has re-zeroed, you can proceed. This may take a while if there are any vibrations or air currents.
3. Add the ingredient until the desired weight is achieved. 4. Press [WEIGH/COUNT] to return to the Scan NDC Label screen.
If the scale is being sealed as legal for trade, change the weigh increment before sealing. Each time the weigh increment is changed, the setup audit trail counter will increase. If a physical seal is used, the program switch will need to be moved to allow changing the increment size.
13
Prescription Validation Protect the patient by validating the medication dispensed is correct. Both prescription label and stock bottle label NDC identifiers must match before a prescription can be counted and filled.
Scan the prescription label from the “Scan Label” prompt. Then scan the stock bottle from the Scan NDC” prompt.
If the prescription and stock bottle labels match, the scale will permit the prescription to be filled. If the labels do not match, the scale displays a message that the incorrect stock bottle was selected.

Chapter 3: LEGAL FOR TRADE
NTEP The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is a widely accepted weights and measures standard in the United States. Most states abide by some or all of the requirements set forth by NTEP. A complete list of these regulations is available in the “Handbook 44” publication distributed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For more information on this and other NIST publications, visit their web site at http://www.nist.gov.
The Model 664 NTEP Certificate of Conformance (C.O.C.) is 04-094
SEALING AND AUDIT TRAILS Most legal-for-trade installations will require the unit to be sealed. A sealed unit cannot be accessed for setup or calibration changes without breaking a physical seal or incrementing an event counter, thus providing evidence that the unit has been tampered with. The Model 664 offers two types of sealing provisions:
• Physical seal used in conjunction with an program switch • Two-event audit trail counter
Check with your local weights and measures authority to determine which method(s) are required.
Physical Seal The most common sealing method is a lead-wire seal. The Model 664 has two tamper-proof screws installed for sealing the bottom plate to the top enclosure. A lead-wire seal can be applied by passing the lead-wire seal wire through a hole in the two tamperproof screws, thus preventing the screws from being removed without breaking the seal. Refer to Figure 3-1 for an illustration.
Before applying a wire seal, be sure to move the program switch on the back panel to the ‘NO’ position to prevent access to the setup and calibration modes.
16
Figure 3-1: Physical Seal
Audit Trail Parameters Two separate incrementing, non-resettable audit trail parameters are used to indicate changes to various parameters:
• Calibration • Setup
An audit trail counter will increment only once upon exiting the setup mode and saving changes regardless of how many settings were changed. Each audit trail counter will increment to 99999 before beginning again at 00001.
Accessing Audit Trails The audit trails may be accessed from the weigh mode. An access code is not required to view audit trail parameters.
1. Cycle power on the Model 664 unit by removing and reapplying power. 2. Press the [ENTER] key at the GSE Scale Systems splash screen. This will gain
access to the setup menu. 3. Press the corresponding number key to Audit Trail in the setup menu. 4. The display will show the Calibration and Setup Mode audit trail parameters
for approximately five seconds. The display will return to the setup menu after the five second period is over. Repeat step 3 as many times as needed to view the audit trail parameters.
5. Press [ENTER] to return to “Scan NDC”.
17
Chapter 4: CALIBRATION The Model 664 only needs to be calibrated if it is out of tolerance. It is possible to check the calibration tolerance with the Calibration Check method by pressing the [CAL] key once. Refer to the Calibration Check section below for details.
Refer to the Full Calibration section if the calibration is out of tolerance. To access the Full Calibration mode, press and hold the [CAL] key.
Out of Tolerance The “OUT OF TOLERANCE” message will be displayed after a Calibration Check is performed and the calibration values are outside the tolerance band. Make sure the scale is level and perform another Calibration Check. Refer to the Calibration Check section below for details.
If the “OUT OF TOLERANCE” message is still displayed, a full calibration will be necessary. Refer to the Full Calibration section for details on calibrating the Model 664.
Calibration Check The calibration check feature allows the calibration accuracy to be checked without going through the full calibration routine and possibly incrementing the calibration audit trail counter.
To Check Calibration:
1. Make sure the scale is level by referring to the level bubble located on the top of the scale, under the weighing platter. Adjust the leveling feet on the front corners until the bubble is in the center.
5. Without a load on the scale platter, press the [CAL] key. 6. The unit will automatically perform a zero function. After the zero reference is
established the display will prompt Add 200 g. 7. Place a certified calibrated 200 gram weight on the scale platter. 8. The unit will determine whether the weight is within an acceptable tolerance.
The display will show “GOOD” or “OUT OF TOLERANCE”.
18
• If “GOOD” is displayed, the calibration is within tolerance and no further action is required.
• If “OUT OF TOLERANCE” is displayed, a full calibration needs to be performed.
9. Remove the 200 gram test weight to return to the “SCAN NDC” prompt.
Full Calibration The full calibration only needs to be performed when the Model 664 calibration is out of tolerance.
To Perform a Calibration:
1. Make sure the scale is level by referring to the level bubble located on the top of the scale, under the weighing platter. Adjust the leveling feet on the front corners until the bubble is in the center.
2. Remove all weight from the scale platter. 3. Press and hold the [CAL] key for 3 seconds. 4. The unit will automatically perform a zero function. After the zero reference is
established the display will prompt Add 200 g. 5. Place a certified calibrated 200 gram weight on the scale platter. 6. After calibration is complete the calibration is saved and the display will return
to the gross mode.
Please be aware that the calibration audit trail will be incremented every time a full calibration is performed. See page 15 for more details.
If the Model 664 has a physical seal the full calibration will be locked out. Contact a qualified service technician to calibrate your Model 664 unit. See page 15 for more details.
GENERAL NOTES ON CALIBRATION • Pressing [CANCEL] at any point will exit the calibration mode. • The digital filter is automatically set to 4 seconds during full calibration. • A motion delay is enforced during zero and span calibration. • New calibration is not permanently saved until the calibration mode is
exited.
19
Calibration Error Messages If calibration problems occur despite an apparently proper configuration, carefully inspect all hardware. Moisture, obstructions, defective or worn components, improper grounding techniques, and an unsuitable environment are factors that could contribute to calibration problems. Refer to the Full Calibration section outlined on page18 for proper calibration technique.
If problems persist contact your GSE service representative.
