  • Page 18: Sectional Scale Installation Guide

    2000D technical manual ECTIONAL CALE NSTALLATION UIDE Sectional scale installations do allow sections across multiple DLC slaves. The following set of instructions is a general guideline on how to allocate and calibrate sectional scales: 1. Install load cell cables to DLC slave units starting from the lowest cell number on the primary slave as labeled on the DLC boxes.

  • Page 19: Assign A Sectional Scale: Calibration Command

    If the allocation was unsuccessful and other scales do exist that need to stay active, use Commands 501, 502 or 503 to clear only the current scale allocation information. Keep in mind that the M2000D indicator has 3 scales. The following examples illustrate how to interpret the assignment information displayed on the LED display while in calibration mode for a sectional scale.
