A factory installed rechargeable battery option is also available. Scope of TI-700K Out of the box, the TI-700K indicator operates as a basic, cabled digital weight indicator. The load cell(s) and/or j-box is connected to the indicator’s internal A/D convertor. This configuration is depicted in the following diagram: When sold as part of a Smarter Weigh™...
This manual covers installation, configuration and calibration of the RF scale system. For opera- tion and troubleshooting, please refer to the separate user’s guide. Installation of TI-700K digital indicator Find a suitable location for the indicator and use the included bracket to mount the unit to a wall or table.

Load Cell Connections Connect your shielded load cell cable to terminal block J1 using the table below. All terminals are labeled for function. TIP: You should have the color codes handy for your load cell / junction box / weighing platform before doing so.
Signal Ground Power Connections (AC version) The TI-700K indicator ships with a pre-installed AC line cord. It has been pre-wired to Terminal Block J1 at the factory. Simply plug the unit into a standard wall outlet. Power Connections (Optional Rechargeable Battery version) The TI-700K with rechargeable battery ships with a pre-installed battery charger connector and an external battery charger.
To prolong battery life, disconnect the external battery charger from the unit when charg- ing is complete (Green LED). Caution: the external battery charger is rated for IP54 only and exposure to water may void the warranty. Be sure to remove the battery charger from the indicator and apply the cap to the battery charger connector before washing it down.

Electrical Connections The TI-500 RFTM module requires an external 6VDC power supply. Single channel units re- quire about 60 mA of current to drive four 350-ohm load cells (20 mA plus 10 mA per load cell). Dual channel units require about 100 mA of current to drive eight 350-ohm load cells. The TI-500 RFTM module will operate normally down to approximately 4 VDC whereupon it will indicate a low battery condition.

Electrical Connections The top cover must first be removed to make the appropriate connections to the weigh platform. To remove the top cover, simply remove the six (6) screws that secure it to the enclosure and set aside. Caution! Disconnect power source from junction box prior to removing top cover. Note: If the optional control panel was ordered, you need not make connections to the LCT-1 for power supply, serial device or on/off control Connecting your load cell(s)
Connect your load cell cable (not included) to the appropriate terminal on the main board. Caution! Strip each load cell wire back 10 mm and tin before inserting into the spring- loaded terminals. Load Cell Terminals (J1, J5, J6 and J7) Label Function - Signal...
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Configuration Menus The TI-700K digital indicator contains three menus to configure the scale system: Setup (“F”) Menu – Configures all scale-related parameters including calibration procedures. User1 (“A1”) Menu – Configures COM1 communication parameters and other misc. parameters, e.g. automatic turn off and hold mode.
Entering the Setup (“F”) Configuration Menu To access this menu, please follow these directions: 1. Press and hold the MENU/OFF key to switch off the digital indicator. 2. Press and hold the ON key until the digital indicator beeps and starts to boot up. 3.

SCALE SYSTEM CALIBRATION Calibration Overview Digital scale system calibration is accomplished in two steps: zero calibration (F16) and span calibration (F17). You may restore factory calibration values via the B6 menu. In the unlikely event that any calibration value is lost, the setup menu makes provisions for re- entering these values via F19 and F20;...
13. After entering the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value. If the cali- bration was successful, the display will show "EndC1" momentarily, followed by "C 2" for the second calibration point. 14. If using multi-point calibration, repeat steps 10-11 for C2 and C3. Otherwise, enter a zero value in for C2.

The following example assumes that the scale system uses four Transcell SBS-2.5K load cells. All required information can be obtained from its datasheet, type label, and/or accompanying pa- per summary sheet(s). The Transcell SBS-2.5K load cell has a rated capacity of 2500 pounds, and a rated output of 3 mV/V.
SERIAL PORT INFO SERIAL PORT MODES DEMAND DUPLEX MODE The Demand Duplex Mode provides a two-way serial transmission mode. In this mode, the output information is transmitted on demand; either by pressing the PRINT key on the indicator’s front panel or upon receiving a recognized command from a host device (i.e.
TEST AND MEASUREMENT MODE (Bird Dog) The Test and Measurement Mode (Bird Dog) is identical to the Test and Measurement Mode with one exception: if the indicator does not receive a PRINT command within five (5) seconds, it will automatically transmit two output strings (one second apart) until it does.
