Page 5: Introduction
RANGER - 2150 Digital Indicator Reference Manual Rev 1.1 Introduction The 2150 is a dedicated baggage weigher. It is a precision digital indicator using the latest Sigma- Delta A/D converter to ensure extremely fast and accurate weight readings. The setup and calibration are digital, with a non-volatile security store for all setup parameters. -
Page 6: The Manuals
2150. This manual is intended for use by Scale Technicians who are installing the instrument. • Operator Manual - Aimed at the operation of the 2150, and covers the day to day operation of the unit. This includes details of the operation of the front panel and external key functions. -
Page 7: Specifications
RANGER - 2150 Digital Indicator Reference Manual Rev 1.1 Specifications Performance Display Backlit alphanumeric LCD with six 27mm high digits Backlight LED backlight with adjustable brightness Display Resolution Up to 30,000 divisions, minimum of 0.25µV/division (Trade 6000 divisions at 1µV/division) -
Page 8: Installation
3.4. Load Cell Signals and Scale Build Very low output scale bases can be used with the 2150 but may induce some instability in the weight readings when used with higher resolutions. Generally speaking, the higher the output, or the lower the number of divisions, the greater the display stability and accuracy. -
Page 9: Connecting Shields
• Care should be taken when connecting shields to maximise EMC immunity and minimise earth loops and cross-talk (interference) between instruments. • For EMC immunity, termination of the load cell shield at the 2150 end is important (ie. with connection to the 2150 case via the shield connection). -
Page 10: Load Cell Connection
RANGER - 2150 Digital Indicator Reference Manual Rev 1.1 3.7. Load Cell Connection The following provides information on 6-wire and 4-wire connections. 3.7.1. 6-Wire Connection The connection is made using a standard DB9 male plug that is supplied with the indicator. -
Page 11: 4-Wire Connection
RANGER - 2150 Digital Indicator Reference Manual Rev 1.1 3.7.2. 4-Wire Connection When a 4-wire load cell system is connected, pins 1 and 2, and pins 3 and 4 must be joined by solder bridge or wire bridge. This is to ensure that the excitation voltages are fed into the sense inputs (pins 2 and 4). -
Page 12: Auxiliary Connection
RANGER - 2150 Digital Indicator Reference Manual Rev 1.1 3.8. Auxiliary Connection The 2150 has a male DB9 auxiliary connector which includes the RS-232 Serial Port and the three Input/Output connections. Function Description Connect To Power for communication DO NOT CONNECT... -

Page 16: Application Configuration Issues
4.1. General Setup Information The 2150 configuration and calibration can be performed entirely from the front panel, using the digital setup facility. When Setup is used, all menu items are accessible and care must be taken to ensure no accidental changes are made to calibration and trade settings. -
Page 17: Filtering Techniques
The first level of filtering provided is a FIR filter that is linked to the measurement rate. The measurement rate is fixed at 25Hz on the 2150. This filter is a very high performance tuned filter that provides up to 180dB of attenuation at multiples of 25Hz and broadband filtering of between 40 and 80dB. -
Page 18: Trade Vs Industrial Mode
The 2150 provides a built in Setup Counter to monitor the number of times the critical steps are altered. The value of this counter is stored within the unit and can only be reset at the factory. -
Page 19: Data Entry
RANGER - 2150 Digital Indicator Reference Manual Rev 1.1 4.7. Data Entry Throughout the 2150 setup and operator interface, different data entry methods are used. Each method is described below: 4.7.1. Numeric Entry A numeric entry box allows the input of a number. When entering a number the display will show digits with the currently selected digit flashing. -
Page 20: Basic Operation
The Auxiliary Display can be set to show the current time in 24 hour format, the bag count or it can be turned off. When the 2150 is setup to show bag count, and less than 100 bags are counted, the auxiliary display will show B-xx. The xx represents the number of bags displayed. -

(DD.MM.YYYY), where DD is the day of the month (01 – 31), MM is the month of year (01 - 12) and YYYY is the year (2000 - 2079). The 2150 requests the day and month first, followed by the year. -
Page 34: Test (Special Test Functions)
SCALE (Scale Base Test Display) This is used to test the scale base for load cell or connection errors. It sets up the 2150 as a simple test meter to measure the load cell signal output. The display reads in milliVolts- per-Volt, factory calibrated to 0.1% worst case. -
Page 35: Calibration
The calibration programme will automatically prevent the 2150 from being calibrated into an application outside of its specification. If an attempt is made to calibrate the 2150 outside of the permitted range, an error message will display and the calibration will be abandoned. Refer to Error Messages page 45. -

Page 40: Master Serial Output
SA100500 8.1.3. Master Serial Output In Master mode the 2150 sends out the entire contents of the LCD every 100msec. This is designed to allow a 2101 Remote Display to exactly copy the contents of the 2150 LCD including all of the Annunciators and User Prompts. -
Page 41: Printing
8.2. Printing With the use of a 0082 serial splitter the 2150 is capable of driving a printer. There are two ASCII format strings available to control the start and end of the printed ticket. PRN.HDR is sent before the first bag weight and PRN.FTR is send directly after the total is printed. -
Page 42: Setpoints
Setpoints define logical outputs that are activated when certain conditions are met. Generally, each setpoint will have a corresponding physical output. However, it is possible to configure a 2150 I/O pin as an input and operate the setpoint purely to control the display annunciators and alarms. -
Page 43: Setpoint Options
These settings can be accessed via the Full Digital Setup or Operator Menu Setup. 9.4.1. Targets This is the target weight value. The 2150 calculates a trip point based on the values of targets. Targets may be entered as positive or negative values. -
