Pre-approved US/FCC, CAN/IC, EUR/EN Range 200’ / 60m indoor, 400’ / 120m line of sight WARNING: This equipment has been approved for mobile applications where the equipment should be used at distances greater than 20cm from...
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Operations Note If using your scale with a TL6000 remote: For best operation with the remote, First four parameters set the Rd Rate to [3] (see section ‘ ’) and Sleep to [0] (see section ‘SLEEP’) on the TL6000 scale.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Warning: Do not remove or obscure warning labels. Warning: Do not operate the crane scale without having read and understood the operating manual. Warning: Stay clear of suspended loads. Warning: Do not lift loads higher than necessary. Warning: Do not make alterations or modifications to the crane scale.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Controls ON/OFF Press this key to turn the scale on. The scale tests itself; when these tests have completed successfully, the system begins weighing. Press this key to turn the scale off. MODE Many of the internal parameters can be adjusted through the mode function. There are a total of 12 modes: Backlight, Print, Units, Set P1, Set P2, Sample Rate, Sleep, Auto-off, Serial data output, Baud rate, Analog output, Scale ID.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Press the MODE key to sequentially toggle through the modes. To edit a mode press and hold the MODE key until the display changes. The value can be changed by using the arrow keys: ↑...
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Note: If your scale has the optional audio alarm, Set Point #1 and #2 are not wired to the external connector. Instead, Set point #1 controls when the alarm will sound. The alarm will sound whenever the weight applied to the scale is greater than or equal to the weight entered into “Set P1”.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 AUTO OFF The TL6000 will automatically shut off if it does not experience any changes in weight or keys pressed for a user set amount of time. Adjusting Auto Off: Press the MODE key seven times until the display reads ‘AOFF AOFF AOFF AOFF’.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 The default value for the baud rate is 9600 baud (bits/sec). This setting only affects the printer output. Changing the baud rate: Press the MODE key nine times until the display reads ‘b rt b rt b rt ’.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 on with weight applied, so that the displayed weight is the actual gross weight. The scale contains a feature called Auto Zero Tracking (AZT), which corrects for slight zero changes during normal operation. If the AZT is enabled and small weights are added slowly, the scale could zero them off.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Maintenance Periodic Inspection The crane scale and all associated adaptive devices require periodic inspection and maintenance. The frequency and recording of the inspection requirements are found in service categories below and are dependant on the type of service that the equipment is used in as described below.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 4. Inspect for excessive wear at hoist hooking points and load support clevices or pins. 5. Inspect for any visible bends or twists of all used rigging devices. 6. Inspect all latches and locks for proper operation (if applicable) Removal from Service Criteria Note: Replacement parts of any device or parts of any device used in any aspect of rigging to lift a load shall be at least equal to the original manufacture’s specifications...
1. Press the ON switch. The display does a lamp test; during this time the scale does a quick check of itself. Then the weighing system starts weigh mode. 2. Intercomp recommends that you allow the electronics to operate for three minutes after first turning the power on. This allows the electronics to become stable for maximum accuracy before you check the calibrations.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 How to calibrate the scale The following details the calibration procedure for the tension scale. All parameters can be set without the calibration strap. If the cal strap is in place, only the first four parameters may be calibrated.

TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Note: If the “Serial Out” setting in your unit is set to “3 = fast continuous” then the above read rates will be slower because of the time the scale spends transmitting data out the serial port. 5) The scale shows ‘AZt AZt ’.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Calibrating the weight accuracy Note: At this time the scale saves any changes that have been made. Note: A check is then made to see whether or not the calibration blocking strap is in place. If the blocking strap is in place, the scale shows ‘CALSt CALSt’...
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Error Messages The scale is over capacity. Reduce the weight applied to the scale. OvER OvER OvER OvER The scale is outside the internal A/D converter range. Reduce the weight OE OE applied to the scale. Display error.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Serial Output The TL6000 can be set to output (continuous) to a scoreboard or other external devices using RS232 or RS485 formats. See mode menu / serial data out. The TL6000 can also transmit and receive RS232 signals (continuous) to communicate with a Tension Link remote.
TL6000, Users Rev L, June 2008 Scoreboard The scoreboard output is an externally available signal designed to drive a numeric overhead display board or a computer's RS-232 input. Transmitted data: xxxxxxx lb ↑ (or current unit) The net weight field is seven characters long and could contain preceding spaces a decimal point and/or a minus sign.
