RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) in a digital weight indicator is weight indication instability during a radio transmission. Cardinal digital weight indicators are designed with special grounding and RFI shielding to achieve a high degree of immunity to common RFI. To maximize the digital weight indicator’s immunity to radio transmissions, follow these guidelines: 1.
8. While supporting the weight of the indicator (to insure the bezel is flush against the panel), tighten the 2 screws Mounting Clamp to secure the indicator to the panel. See Figure No. 4. Figure No. 4 8200-M035-O1 Rev C 200 Installation & Technical...

(see Figure No. 9). Serial I/O Cable Installation The 200 indicator 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. The weight data may be transmitted on demand (pressing the PRINT key or on receipt of a command from the computer).
Repeat the procedure until all wires are in place. Figure No. 8 P2 Detail View ANALOG OUTPUT (200-A Only) REMOTE INPUT PIN NO. Function PIN NO. Function 4-20mA OUTPUT GROSS / NET 0-10V OUTPUT PRINT COMMON ZERO TARE 8200-M035-O1 Rev C 200 Installation & Technical...
These jumpers attach the sense leads to the excitation leads. 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. 8200-M035-O1 Rev C 200 Installation & Technical...

ENTER CALIBRATION MODES The 200 indicator has five modes that can be used to perform calibration. Three of the modes require a test load or test weights, one requires the scale to be empty (and at zero) and the last uses the calibration “C” numbers from a previous calibration. The modes are as follows: 1.
