Chapter 14
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.
