This scale uses state of the art technology to provide you with a low cost solution to the most demanding weighing applications. With ease of use and setup in mind, the scale is simple to set up and ready to use. The Model 7000, 7000XL, 8000XL offers many features. A few of these features are listed below: NTEP certification for Class III installations to 10,000d (CoC 99-129).
Fig. 1: Model 7000 Front Panel Layout Model 7000: The Model 7000 (Fig. 1) controls consist of the ZERO and optional UNITS buttons located under the main display. A six-digit LED display is used to provide weight indications, negative polarity (except lb/oz) and operator messages describing scale operation.
Scale units are displayed on four annunciators located to the right of the main display. Power Up: Connect the Model 7000, 7000XL to a compatible power source. With the 8000XL, press and release ZERO to turn on scale.
Be sure the AC power is not excessively noisy - this can occur if large inductive loads, such as solenoids or motors, are on the same power line. The Model 7000, 7000XL, 8000XL has a filtered power supply to reduce the effects of normal line noise, but they cannot limit severe fluctuations.
PRINT button. The current weight will then be transmitted to the printer. The 7000XL, 8000XL, and 7000(optional) has a "Print on Demand" feature which stores a PRINT request until the scale is stable. Once stable, the scale transmits the current weight.

2) The CAL switch S1 is a momentary push button located in the lower left corner of main PC. Board (see Fig. 4). On the 7000XL and 8000XL, the calibration switch can be accessed by removing the meter’s back cover. For the 7000 remove the Cal access panel located on bottom of indicator.
10% of capacity are more likely to have significant errors at full capacity than are scales calibrated at 25% or 50%. Doran Scales recommends that all scales be calibrated at full capacity whenever possible. 10% calibration should not be used when calibrating scales for legal for trade applications.

Data Communications Introduction to data communications: In the Model 7000, 7000XL, 8000XL data is sent to a printer or computer by using "asynchronous serial data communications." Data is broken up and sent one piece at a time to the printer or computer. In spite of this apparent simplicity, a basic understanding of serial data communications is needed when setting up the scale.
"Ctrl-Q" is received. To use this mode, the RTX line of the scale is tied to the TXD line of the receiving unit. Refer to Doran RS-232 Training Technical Bulletin (MAN0214) for in depth coverage of this subject.
Data output format: In order for the serial data sent from the scale to be useful, the data must be organized so that it is easy to read. To accomplish this, the scale arranges the displayed data with additional text to indicate the active units and to indicate the presence of motion during the reading.

4-20mA Analog Output (optional) Introduction The 4-20mA Analog Output Option is used to provide an analog output that is proportional to the weight on the scale platform. Because of the inherent noise immunity present in a current loop, an isolated 4-20mA analog output is ideal for use in noisy environments.
Averaging to a higher setting to stabilize the reading (see Parameter Setup section). If you are still experiencing a problem with your scale, or if the problem you are having is not covered in the above list, please contact your Doran Scales authorized dealer.
Resetting the scale parameters: If at some point the Model 7000, 7000XL, 8000XL, user wishes to return the setup parameters to factory default, follow these steps. WARNING: Defaulting the scale will require recalibration. Enter Cal mode by using Cal access feature or by pressing the CAL button.
