Scale status such as motion (MOT), polarity (NEG) and center of zero (ZERO) is displayed on annunciators located to the left of the display area.

  • Page 13: Power Up

    If problems occur, noise producing devices may have to be suppressed to minimize their effect. Power Up: Connect the Model 7400, 4300, 7000XL to a compatible power source. With the 8000XL or scale models with battery option, press and release ZERO button to turn on scale. Basic Weighing Operation: 1) Remove all items from the scale platter.

  • Page 14: Print Button:(7400 Optional)

    When the data is transmitted, the left most display digit will momentarily display a "r" to confirm data transmission. The 4300, 7000XL, 8000XL, and 7400(optional) has a "Print on Demand" feature which stores a PRINT request until the scale is stable.
  • Page 15 Press ZERO button, while in the accumulator / counter recall mode to clear the accumulator and counter values. The display will show "Clr Ac" and exit from the recall mode. Press PRINT button, while in accumulator recall mode, to transmit the accumulator and counter values.

  • Page 16: Battery Operation

    Battery Operation The 8000XL and other models with battery option are equipped with a self-contained Rechargeable Sealed Lead-Acid battery and charging circuit, both internal. The scale is designed to run continuously for 60 hours (with one 350 ohm loadcell) on a fully charged battery.

  • Page 17: Low Battery Indication: (8000Xl Or Battery Option)

    Low Battery Indication: (8000XL or Battery option) The "BATT" annunciator indicates that the battery is in need of recharging. Once the "BATT" annunciator turns on, there will be approximately one more hour of battery life before the scale shuts down. When the battery is too low to run the scale, the scale simply turns off and will not operate again until the battery is recharged.

  • Page 48: Data Communications

    Data Communications Introduction to data communications: The scale 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.

  • Page 49: Printer Modes

    "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.

    the scale returns to weight reading that is below the adjustable threshold level. The reading must be stable and must be a valid reading before it can be sent. Auto Print 3 (AP3): Auto Print 3 transmits the first scale reading following the scale leaving motion, being above the adjustable threshold level and in the accept band.

  • Page 72: Rs485 Communications (Optional)

    RS485 Communications (optional) The scale offers an RS485 data communications option. RS485 communications are similar to RS232 except that RS485 provides better noise immunity, it is suited to longer cable distances, and it will allow multiple scales to be attached to the same data line. RS485 achieves its performance advantage over RS232 by utilizing a differential input and output.

  • Page 73: Rs485 Setup

    Once the scale address is set, select the "Data Output Mode." Doran Scales recommends against using the Continuous Print Mode with RS485 because the buffer will fill up quickly requiring frequent readings of the buffer.
