Page 6: 400Es Front Panel
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE 400ES SERIES DIGITAL INDICATORS The 400ES Series Digital Indicator is a general purpose, industrial grade weight indicator featuring keyboard tare and stainless steel enclosure. It can readout up to 50,000 display divisions on its 0.56” tall LED display and can supply enough current for up to 4-350 load cells. All setup parameters may be entered via the front panel keys, including calibration. -
Page 7: Chapter 2: Installation
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION STAINLESS STEEL ENCLOSURE (400ES) For indicators contained in a stainless steel enclosure, the rear cover must first be removed to make the appropriate connections to the weigh platform, printer, remote display and power supply. To remove the rear cover, simply remove the screws that secure it to the enclosure and set aside. -

Page 17: Chapter 6: Calibration
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. -

Page 21: Taring An Item Of Unknown Weight
7.3.2 TARING AN ITEM OF UNKNOWN WEIGHT To weigh an item in a container, the weight of that container must first be subtracted from the overall weight to obtain an accurate weight reading. This is known as taring. For your convenience, the 400ES indicator retains this tare weight value even when the unit is powered off. 1. -

7.3.5 ENTERING AN ID NUMBER NOTE: To use this feature, ID Number and Print Ticket mode must be enabled in the User Menu. See Chapter 4 for more information. Normally, the ID Number value set in the User Menu is printed on the print ticket. If you wish instead to key-in a new ID Number each time a ticket is printed, you may follow the procedure below before pressing the 0 (PRINT) key. -

Page 25: Appendix B: Serial Port Information
APPENDIX B: Serial Port INFORMATION SERIAL PORT MODES B.1.1 FULL DUPLEX MODE The Full Duplex Mode provides a Demand serial transmission mode and is selected by setting A3 to “d” and A6 to “0”. 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. -
Page 26: Recognized Host Commands
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. -
Page 27: Simplex Mode
B.1.3 SIMPLEX MODE The Simplex Mode provides a continuous serial transmission mode and is selected by setting A3 to “C” and A6 to “0”. The Continuous mode is used to interface to computers, scoreboards, and other remote devices requiring constant data updating. The transmission occurs at the end of each display update. -
Page 28: Appendix C: Determining Proper Span Gain (F2
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. - Page 29 # of External Full Scale Input Range (mV/V) Grads 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 4,000 5,000 – 6,000 – 8,000 – 10,000 – – 12,000 – – 15,000 – – – 20,000 – – – – 30,000 – – – –...
