SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS The Cardinal 205 indicator is a precision weight-measuring instrument. As with any precision instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at peak performance and reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.
Page 9
SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS Electrical Power The 205 indicator has been designed to operate from 90 to 264 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Note that a special order is not required for operation at 230 VAC. CAUTION! - To avoid electrical hazard and possible damage to the indicator, DO NOT, under any circumstance, cut, remove, alter, or in any way bypass the power cord grounding prong.
NOTE! Should your 205 indicator come already installed on a scale, the following information describing the installation of the indicator does not apply. The Model 205 indicator is housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66 stainless steel wall or desk-mount enclosure. The gimbal may be mounted on a desktop or other smooth, flat, horizontal surface or may be mounted on a wall.
If sense leads ARE used (as in motor truck scales), these plug-in jumpers should be positioned on one plug-in pin only or removed and stored for later use (see Figure No. 8). 8200-M024-O1 Rev G y 205 Installation & Technical...
The sense wires must be connected between the +SENS, -SENS terminals on the indicator and the +EXCITATION, -EXCITATION wires of the load cells or the +SENS, -SENS terminals of the load cell trim board or the section seal trim board. 8200-M024-O1 Rev G y 205 Installation & Technical...
INSTALLATION, CONT. Serial I/O Cable Installation The 205 indicator may be connected to a printer to record weight and associated data or it may be connected to a remote display or even to a computer for transmission of weight data. The weight data may be transmitted on demand (pressing the PRINT key or on receipt of a command from the computer).
J10 on the printed circuit board. J11 – 12V PWC SRC (SOURCE) The J11 jumper, when connected (CLOSED) supplies 12 VDC @ 25mA from the 205 indicator to a solid-state relay or other load of 200 ohms or greater. When J11 is OPEN (positioned on one plug-in pin only or removed), the 12 to 24 VDC must be provided from an external source to P10-6.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The Model 205 is equipped with a 7-key keypad. The keypad is used to enter commands and data into the indicator. This section describes each key along with its normal function. It is helpful to refer to the actual indicator while reading this section.

ENTER CALIBRATION MODES The 205 indicator has five modes that can be used to perform calibration. Three of the modes require a test load or test weights, one requires the scale to be empty (and at zero) and the last uses the calibration “C” numbers from a previous calibration. The modes are as follows: 1.
