  • Page 7: Introduction

    This manual is intended for use by service technicians responsible for installing and servicing 920i digital weight indicators. This manual applies to Version 5 of the 920i indicator software, which is compatible with both the serial interface and USB hardware versions of the indicator.

  • Page 8: Overview

    This allows for simultaneous batching operations to be written with the iRite language. The 920i is NTEP-certified for Classes III and III L at 10,000 divisions. See Section 11.14 on page 139 for more information about additional certifications and approvals.

  • Page 9: Operating Modes

    Once configuration is complete and a legal seal is affixed to the large fillister-head screw on the indicator enclosure, this is the only mode in which the 920i can operate. Setup mode Most of the procedures described in this manual require the indicator to be in setup mode, including configuration and calibration.

  • Page 10: Indicator Operations

    Indicator Operations Basic 920i operations are summarized below. Toggle Gross/Net Mode Press the key to switch the display mode from gross to net, or from net to gross. If a tare value has been Gross/Net entered or acquired, the net value is equal to the gross weight minus the tare. If no tare has been entered or acquired, the display remains in gross mode.

    6-card expansion board. Any of the available option cards can be installed in any available expansion board slot. A second 2- or 6-card expansion board can also be connected to the 920i, providing up to 14 option card slots.

  • Page 14: Installation

    • This unit uses double pole/neutral fusing which could create an electric shock hazard. Procedures requiring work inside the indicator must be performed by qualified service personnel only. • The supply cord serves as the power disconnect for the 920i. The power outlet supplying the indicator must be installed near the unit and be easily accessible.

  • Page 15: Cable Grounding

    2.3.2 Cable Grounding Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the indicator enclosure.
