Your 185 or 185B Weight Indicator has been thoroughly tested and calibrated before being

shipped to you. If you received the indicator attached to a scale, calibration is not necessary. If

the indicator is being connected to a scale for the first time or recalibration is necessary for

other reasons, proceed as indicated.

Calibration of the indicator is accomplished entirely by the

keypad. To enter setup and calibration, the calibration

jumper must be removed and re-installed while the

indicator is on. The calibration jumper is located on the

main printed circuit board. Refer to Figure No. 11 for the

location of the jumper. Loosen the four (4) Phillips screws

securing the rear housing to the front housing, and remove

the rear housing to access the calibration jumper.

During the setup and calibration process, it will be

necessary to enter operational parameters via the

indicator's keypad.

 When a prompt for a value is displayed, press the TARE  key to display the current setting.

 Pressing the TARE  key will cause the data entered or displayed to be retained and the

indicator to advance to the next prompt.

 The functions of numeric keys are replaced by using the UNITS/ and the Fn/▲ keys.

 The cursor location is identified by the blinking character and can be advanced to the left to

the next position by pressing the UNITS/ key.

 Pressing the Fn/▲ key will change the blinking character to the next value. Continue to press

this key to "toggle" between the different available values for the setup parameter.

 Pressing the Fn/▲ key when a setup parameter (not a parameter value) is displayed, will

"backup" to the previous prompt.

The membrane keypad is not to be operated with pointed objects (pencils,

pens, fingernails, etc.). Damage to keypad resulting from this practice is

NOT covered under warranty.

Begin Setup and Calibration:

1. With the rear panel removed and the indicator ON, remove the calibration jumper J3.

2. The SETUP prompt will be displayed.

3. Re-install the calibration jumper and press the TARE  key.

4. The rdisp= prompt will be displayed.

5. The indicator is now ready for setup and calibration.

rdisp= (Remote Display)

This setting will turn the 185 or 185B indicator into a remote display using the serial port. If

the 185 or 185B is connected to a Cardinal 200 series indicator, it becomes a functional

remote keypad and display.

Press the TARE  key to view the current setting. To keep the current setting, press the

TARE  key again. Otherwise, press the Fn/▲ key to scroll through the available values.

When the desired value is displayed, press the TARE  key to select the displayed value

and proceed to the next prompt.

Available values are:

YES

Remote Display Function Enabled

If rdisp= YES is selected, an additional prompt, tYPE= will be displayed.
