5.2.2 LF (Line Feeds) Number Entry (A6) While in the User Menu mode, scroll to "A 6", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter the Line Feeds menu. The display will momentarily show "LF", followed by the current line feeds value. Use the four directional keys (shown in Figure 5-1 above) to adjust the displayed value to the actual line feeds value.
5.2.4 Date Entry (A13) If your indicator was ordered with the Time and Date option, it will keep track of the current date for you, which can then be printed on the print ticket. Use this procedure to set the current date, which must be set in mm/dd/yy format. For example, for January 7, 1998, you would enter 010798.
CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW The indicator is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in F16 (Zero) and F17 (Span) of the Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the indicator's non-volatile memory - F16 the zero value (deadweight) and F17 the span value (test weight). The minimum test weight that can be used is 1% of full-scale capacity.
4. After setting the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value. 5. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "EndC1" momentarily, then revert back up to F17. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see Section 6.4).
KEY-IN SPAN CALIBRATION VALUE (F20) Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. A valid span calibration value, obtained from a successful F17 calibration procedure, must be used. 1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 20", then scroll down once using the ZERO key. 2.
CHAPTER 7: OPERATION 7.1 DISPLAY The Model S750-8/S750S-8 indicator utilizes a 6 digit LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display the weight and system information while the Model S750/S750S indicator utilizes a 6- digit LED (Light Emitting Diode) display. Typically, LCD’s are used for outdoor applications while LED’s are used indoors where brightness is needed.
STABLE This light is on whenever the scale is stable. TABLE 7-1: S750 Series Annunciator Definitions 7.2 KEYBOARD The keyboard is composed of five function keys. Refer to Figure 7-3 for the overall layout and key locations.
7.3 GENERAL SCALE OPERATION 7.3.1 WEIGHING AN ITEM Select the desired weighing unit by pressing the UNITS key until that unit is indicated on the display. 2. If necessary, press the ZERO key to obtain a weight reading of zero. 3.

APPENDIX B: SERIAL PORT INFORMATION COM1 MODES B.1.1 FULL DUPLEX MODE The Full Duplex Mode for COM1 provides a Demand serial transmission mode. The Demand mode allows control from a host device, usually a PC, and can be activated by pressing the PRINT key on the indicator’s front panel.
B.1.1.1 RECOGNIZED HOST COMMANDS “P” - This command is sent to the indicator to print the indicated display. The indicator will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. “Z” - This command is sent to the indicator to zero the scale. The indicator will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload.
APPENDIX C: DETERMINING PROPER SPAN GAIN (F2) SPAN GAIN OVERVIEW The Span Gain parameter found in F2 of the Setup Menu is directly related to the ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) integration time. This means that the lower the setting, the higher the number of measurements per second.
Invalid setting code. Re-enter proper setting code from product ID tag. Code Entry Err 13 Setting Code Entry Non-volatile memory is in write-protect mode. Toggle position of Setup/Calibration Switch or JP2 jumper (See Chapter 3). Note: Contact Service Department at Salter Brecknell for instructions on how to re-enter setting code.
