Electrical Power The TI-500E SS indicator has been designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. All units ship with the appropriate power plug for its area of intended use.
CONNECTING THE WEIGH PLATFORM ATTENTION INSTALLERS: It is highly recommended that you install the enclosed green/yellow cable between the load cell cable shield and the AC ground lug on the main PCBA. Do not connect the load cell cable shield to the green load cell input terminal. The TI-500E-SS indicator contains a connection terminal on the main board assembly for connection to the load cell cable.
CONNECTING THE SERIAL I/O DEVICE The TI-500E SS model comes standard with one full duplex RS-232 serial port, designed for connection to a computer or a serial printer. The same port may be also used as a simplex, RS-232 port designed for connection to a remote display.
ACCESSING THE MENUS To access the Setup (“F) menu: 1. Power off the indicator. 2. Locate the slide switch on the rear cover and move it to the opposite position. NOTE: A metal plate held on by two drilled-head screws may conceal the slide switch. 3.

CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW If your indicator was shipped as a complete scale, then calibration is not necessary. Please check with your installer or supplier if you are unsure. Transcell recommends having your weighing equipment checked by a qualified scale technician at least once a year depending on its intended use and working environment.
6. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see next section). If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the indicated action to correct the problem, and then perform a new calibration. "Err0"...
KEY-IN ZERO CALIBRATION VALUE (F19) Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. A valid zero calibration value, obtained from a successful F16 calibration procedure, must be used. 1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 19", and then scroll down once using the ZERO key. The display will momentarily show "ET C 0", followed by a value of zero 2.

KEYBOARD The keyboard is composed of five function keys shown below. ZERO TARE PRINT UNITS GROSS FUNCTION KEYS Units – This key toggles the indicator among the available weight units if enabled in the User (“A”) menu. Available weight units include lb, kg and pieces. Zero - This key sets the indicator to display zero provided the following conditions are met: 1.
PIECE COUNTING MODE IMPORTANT NOTE: The piece counting function cannot be used in commercial (NTEP) applications. To activate this mode, set F30 to 3. This mode is used to indicate the number of pieces of an item you have placed on the scale’s platform and is accessed by pressing the UNITS key. To ensure accuracy, the parts you are counting must be consistent in weight.
REMOTE DISPLAY MODE To activate this mode, set F30 to 2. This mode is used to emulate a remote display for a separate indicator. For it to work properly, a remote indicator must be transmitting information to the TI-500E SS continuously and at the same transmission (baud) rate configured in A1. LEGAL FOR TRADE SEALING Indicators can be sealed for commercial (Legal for Trade) applications as follows.
APPENDIX B: SERIAL PORT INFORMATION SERIAL PORT MODES DEMAND DUPLEX MODE The Demand Duplex Mode provides a two way serial transmission mode. In this mode, the output information is transmitted on demand; either by pressing the PRINT key on the indicator’s front panel or upon receiving a recognized command from a host device (i.e.
