SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS The Cardinal 210/215 indicators are precision weight-measuring instruments. As with any precision instrument, they require 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, CONT. Electrical Power The 210/215 indicators have been designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Note that a special order is not required for operation at 230/240 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.
The Model 210/215 Indicator is housed in a 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-M411-O1 Rev D 210/215 Installation & Technical...
Remove the three acorn nuts securing the Battery Access Cover to the bottom of the indicator and then remove the battery tray (Model 215) or the battery (Model 210). After removing the battery tray or battery, remove the 12 acorn nuts securing the back panel to main housing, and then loosen a gland connector for the load cell cable.
INSTALLATION, CONT. Serial I/O Cable Installation The 210/215 indicators 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.
P10, first loosen the gland connector located on the right side on the back of the 210/215. Refer to Figure No. 8 for the exact location of the connector. Slip the cable through the connector and into the enclosure. Remove 2 inches of the cable insulating jacket and then 1/4 inch of insulation from each of the internal wires (refer to Figure No.
2. Secure with the 12 acorn nuts removed earlier. Follow a diagonal pattern when tightening the acorn nuts. 3. Slide the battery (Model 210) or battery tray (Model 215) into the opening, until you feel resistance and the edge of the battery/battery tray is flush with the bottom of the indicator.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The Model 210/215 is equipped with a 22-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.
