  • Page 7: Scale Wiring Color Codes

    Code C works with the LP4310, scales with a hinge and cell mounted inside of the deck, and our HC1000 hydraulic conversion kit. If your scale or load cell was not obtained from Eagle Microsystems, try code C or A first. You may want to contact the manufacturer for the color code.

  • Page 21 PUSHBUTTONS The EI-2000 has a set of pushbuttons for each of the two channels, and the EI-1000 has one set of pushbuttons that control up to four channels (scale bases). The pushbutton functions listed below describe their typical uses. However, when applicable, the pushbutton(s) may be used for other functions, which is documented in this manual.
  • Page 22 The descriptions below will reference the set of pushbuttons for the left or right (CH1 or CH2) channel on the EI-2000 or the set of pushbuttons on the EI-1000 that control all, up to four, scales. Configuration parameter P001 selects which operating mode, 1 thru 5, is enabled for all scales.
  • Page 23 MODE 2: ADJUSTABLE REMAINING Typical application: drum scales - Remaining & gross weights are displayable. An empty scale should read zero. If it does not, press the ZERO pushbutton. If “no 0” is displayed, access the calibration mode to zero the scale. Place container with product on the scale.
  • Page 24 The user has the option of accessing ALL configuration, calibration and diagnostic functions without opening the enclosure. Parameter P999 selects whether or not this is enabled (it is set to no or yes). EI-1000: Press and hold [SELECT] + [RIGHT ARROW] for greater than three seconds.
  • Page 25 When the FPA menu is first displayed, the CFG option is shown. The selections are configuration (CFG), calibration (EI-2000 has CAL and the EI-1000 has CAL1 through 4), analog output (AOUt), and diagnostic (dIAG).
