3.0. INSTALLATION This section provides the information required for installation of the DI-28 weight indicator. The following steps accomplish installation. Unpacking Set-up Procedure 3.1. Unpacking Each component of the DI-28 is packed in a specially designed carton. Remove each component from the carton, separate the component from its polystyrene shell assembly and set aside.
4.0. ELECTRICAL TEST 4.1. Set-up Procedure This part of the procedure is used to verify proper operation of the scale. Connect the AC power source, and press the [ON/OFF] key. At turn-on, the display will momentarily show the version number then, all digits from 0 to 9 in a “count-up” mode. Then the display will blank, show all “8’s”, and enter the regular operating display.
4.3. Control Panels 4.3.1. Keys Name Functions ON/OFF Turn power on or off. REZERO Reset the weight to zero. TARE Enter or clear tare value. DIGIT SELECT Select the digits to set tare or setpoint value. INCREASE Increase the value of tare or setpoint weight on selected digit when setting data.

8.0. MAINTENANCE, CALIBRATION, TEST PROCEDURE & SERVICE This section contains information and instructions concerning maintenance of the DI-28 weighing indicator. Preventive maintenance consists of periodically cleaning the external surfaces of the instrument and should be performed as often as operating conditions warrant. The calibration procedure is designed to be an aid in maintaining the scale accuracy within specifications.
8.1.3 Continued Accuracy Weighing: The scale weighing accuracy can be determined by applying various known weights to the platform. Because of the scale's very high accuracy, only weights that are certifiably more accurate than the scale's specifications should be used in testing for accuracy. (NBS class "F" or higher) Since the scale owner does not normally have such certifiable weights available to him, it is suggested that the customer call their authorized...
