Page 4: Introduction
Electrical Power The TI-1680 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. To avoid electrical noise interference and/or stray AC electrical transients, try to operate the indicator from a circuit separate from any equipment containing inductive devices such as a contactor coil, solenoid, relay coil, or motor. -
Page 5: Connections
CONNECTIONS For the TI-1680 model, the rear cover must first be removed to make the appropriate connections to the weigh platform, serial I/O device and other peripheral equipment. To remove the rear cover, simply remove the six acorn nuts that secure it to the main enclosure and set aside. -
Page 6: Connecting The Control I/O
Black CONNECTING THE CONTROL I/O The TI-1680 indicator features one remote input and four output terminals for connection to process control equipment. A +5VDC terminal is also included for connection to the outputs if an external supply is not available. -
Page 7: Connecting The Optional Rs-485 (Com2)
Please see Appendix E for more information on this option. CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY The TI-1680 indicator ships with an AC line cord attached to the indicator. It has been pre-wired on J7 at the factory. Simply plug the unit into a standard wall outlet. -

Page 20: Calibration
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. -
Page 21: View Calibration Values (F18)
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"... -

STANDARD OUTPUTS Each output tracks its corresponding set point. For example, Output 1 tracks Set Point 1; Output 2 tracks Set Point 2, etc. Note that the outputs continuously track the weight, i.e. they will re-fire when the weight drops back below a set point. For in-flight compensation, use the Cutoff delay (B6) Graph of OUTx versus Weight for SPx... -
Page 30: Percentage Application (F30 = 4)
The indicator uses the sampling method to determine the average piece weight (APW) of the items you wish to count. When sampling items, always count the parts in your hand and place them on the platform all at once. If the APW of the items is too light or the total weight of the sample is too light, accuracy cannot be guaranteed. -
Page 31: Hold Application (F30 = 5)
The indicator uses the sampling method to determine the reference weight. This indicator does not retain the piece weight when powered down. 1. Press the F1 key. The screen shows “100 -” which means “100%”. 2. Place the reference weight on the platform and allow the weight indication to stabilize. 3. -
Page 32: Batching Application (F30 = 7)
The batching application is designed for gain-in weight material batching. The TI-1680 will allow batching of up to four materials using in-flight compensation or up to two material using fast/slow valves. The TI-1680 does not have a provision for dumping the batch when complete, so this must be done manually. -
Page 33: Truck Weigh In/Weigh Out Application (F30 = 8)
The truck weigh in/weigh out application is designed for weighing material being loaded or unloaded on a vehicle. The TI-1680 will allow for up 256 individual vehicles to be weighed in & out. All instructions can be found below. After a successful operation, the indicator will automatically revert back to normal operating mode. -

Page 42: Appendix C: Displayed Error Codes
APPENDIX C: DISPLAYED ERROR CODES CODE MODE MEANING / POSSIBLE SOLUTION Normal Operating Gross Overload. A weight greater than the rated capacity has been Mode applied to the scale. Remove the weight from the platter or try re- calibrating the scale. Otherwise, check for a bad load cell connection or possible load cell damage due to overloading. -
Page 43: Appendix D: Wiring External Output Relays
The outputs can be wired thru an external relay(s) (not included) to switch on/off inductive loads. There are two ways to drive the external relay(s): 1. Using internal power supply from TI-1680 2. Using an external power supply (not included) If you are using the internal power supply, then your relay must be able to operate with 5VDC. -
Page 44: Inputs
External Power Supply Indicator External Relay External Power V LOAD CATCH DIODE OUTPUTx Ctrl (*) External power source must be: 5V <V ≤ 24V NOTE: The CATCHDIODE connection is not required when using a solid state relay(s). INPUTS You can wire a remote switch (not included) to act as the batch start/stop switch. This can be used in addition to - or instead of - the front panel UNITS key. -
Page 45: Appendix E: Info On Analog Output Option
APPENDIX E: INFO ON ANALOG OUTPUT OPTION GENERAL INFORMATION This Digital indicator provides one passive 4-20 mA or active 0-5 V analog output in lieu of the UART#1 serial port. Default setting is passive 4-20 mA. The digital indicator provides an analog output on two wires designated AA and BB. The output tracks the weight displayed on the indicator, so you must first have the indicator configured and calibrated correctly in order for it to work properly. - Page 46 Passive 4-20 mA Analog Output A 12-bit DAC is used along with a current loop transmitter. Since the output is passive, you will need an external 24 VDC power supply. You can get the output through pins 2 and 3 of the D-SUB9 connector.
- Page 47 Here is how to test to see if it is working correctly: 1. Configure and calibrate the indicator to your load device. Ensure the weighing function is working properly. 2. Connect the AA and BB output wires to an external 24 VDC power supply and 250 resistor as shown in the above test diagram.
