Figure 1 WPI-135 Front Panel The keys on the front panel of the WPI-135 are of two types, hard keys and soft keys. Hard keys are labeled directly and soft key labels appear on the display. Soft keys function differently at different times so their labels change...
Below are brief descriptions for each of the hard key functions: Hard Keys Repeatedly press the SELECT key to scroll through the available weight reading displays. (Examples - gross, net, tare, minimum, maximum, etc.) Press the UNITS key to scroll through the available units of measure By default the print format #0 sends:...
Menu Structure There are several menus you use to setup or service the WPI-135. You access the menus described below through the front panel. Each menu is briefly described here. For in depth information about a menu, go to that menu's section in this manual.
By press- Accessing the Menus ing the appropriate soft key and following text prompts on the display, you can set up your WPI-135 to suit your needs. Following are the instructions you need to access the menus of the WPI- 135.
The User menu is not affected if the indicator is sealed or unsealed. The values under SELECT in the flowchart to the right are not saved after a power down and power up. Figure 4 Soft key flowchart for User menu Press the CLOCK soft key to access the time and date setting function.
You cannot select a scale number unless it has been activated in the SimPoser program and downloaded to the WPI-135, or enabled in the Config menu. User If you press the TARE soft key the display will show the current tare value for the active scale.
If you press the UNIT soft key the display will ask you to key in a number (0- User 6) which represents the value you want to be active. Below are the seven —SELECT units to choose from and the corresponding number you need to key in for —UNIT this function: 0- lb...

4 = Computer 1 = Keyboard 3 = Multidrop BASIC Control - Control of the serial port is through the BASIC program executing in the WPI-135. Keyboard - Control of the serial port is through an attached key- board. Disabled - The serial port is not in use for this configuration.
Press this key to configure the display update rate in updates per second. ROC stands for Rate of Change. Press this key to set up your WPI-135 Indicator to calculate Rate of Change for flow rate, or weight/time, applications. RZ/TO Press this key to configure Print Return to Zero (RZ), Accumula- tor RZ, Accumulator Timeout, Print Timeout and Zero Timeout.

Harmonizer. —FILTER The A-D weight conversion happens 60 times per second in the WPI-135. AVG is the number of conversions you want to average. For example, if you pick 30, the unit will average the weight values from the last 30 conversions or ½...

The number of samples over which the rate of change of weight is deter- mined. The WPI-135 converts weight from A to D at 60 times per second. If ROC Samples is set to 60, the WPI-135 is determining the rate of weight...
Page 22
ROC Mult The ROC Multiplier allows you to enter a conversion factor to translate weight to some other unit of measure, such as gallons or some other weight unit based upon the calibration unit of measure. ROC Examples: If pounds is your calibration unit, pick a sample value of 60 and a multiplier of 1.

Press the MENU3 soft key to access the following soft key group: Configure —MENU3 SETPT Press this key to enable or disable viewing of setpoint state in the right corner of the weight display. FMTPT Press this key to configure a port to use for each print format. DMODE Press this key to pick a power-up display mode from those available in Appendix 1: Display Samples .

3. Press ENTER to keep the displayed volume or press the soft key for: OFF, LOW, MED or HIGH. Press ENTER after making your choice. . . The default print format screen is displayed. 4. Press ENTER to keep the displayed default print format or type in a new format number and press ENTER to accept it.
The only soft key in MENU4 is the CLRPRG key. Press this key only if you Configure want to clear the BASIC program from the indicator memory. —MENU4 WARNING: Do this only if you are sure it is absolutely necessary! Press the ESC key then the EXIT soft key to exit the Configure menu.
Figure 8 Soft key flowchart for Calibration menu Press the SETUP soft key to access the following soft key group: Calibrate CAPAC Press this key to enter the capacity of the scale and the division —SETUP size. OPTION Press this key to enable or disable multi-interval use. Following are detailed instructions for setting these parameters.
Press the OPTION soft key to enable or disable the multi-interval option. If Calibrate you enable the multi-interval option, the division size you choose under —SETUP CAPAC applies to weight on the scale from 0 to ½ capacity. For weight on —OPTION the scale from ½...

Use the SPEC soft key to access three new softkeys. These soft keys are Calibrate listed below. —CAL —SPEC TZERO This stands for temporary zero. This calibration procedure is useful when a scale has weight on it that is impractical to remove, such as a hopper or bin which is partially full of mate- rial.
Page 29
Calibrate Press the KEY IN soft key if you want to set up a new indicator to replace —CAL another indicator and keep the original indicator's calibration settings. To do —SPEC this you must have recorded the zero counts or mV/V values of the original —KEY IN indicator in order to transfer that information to the new indicator.
Calibrate If you press the R-CAL soft key, you can perform a reverse calibration. In —CAL other words, you start with a loaded scale, remove all the weight from the —SPEC scale for spanning, then get your zero reading. This may require a container —R-CAL on a separate scale into which you discharge the material.
If you press the VERS soft key, you can see all the following information on Calibrate consecutive screens as you press any key to continue. The SimPoser —INFO information will be available only if a file has been downloaded to the indica- —VERS tor.
Test Menu There is one more menu that you can access for testing purposes. The flowchart of soft keys in the menu are shown in Figure 9.

• Software version of the cell (vD.A in this example) For analog scales you are shown: • a raw count value and its equivalent mV/V value. (These values should be positive and increase as weight is applied. SERIAL Use this to test your ports. Select Port #1 through 4 then short the TX and RX on the selected port.
Disassembly and Reassembly Following are the steps for disassembly and reassembly of the WPI-135 for service purposes. 1. Disconnect the WPI-135 from power and all peripheral equipment. 2. Remove the 14 acorn nuts holding the rear panel to the case. See Figure 10.
Page 35
3. If you need to remove the power supply board from the inside of the back cover, begin by disconnecting the power supply wires and the wires leading to the main board. Remove the eight screws holding the pc board as shown in Figure 12. Figure 12 Power supply board 4.
Page 36
5. There is a display pc board and a display module attached to the backer plate. If you need to remove the display board, disconnect the cables and remove the three standoffs and two nuts shown in Figure 14 Figure 14 Display board 6.

The following are multi-scale displays. If all the lines are not used for scales, they are available for Basic text. #34, 35, 40 and 41 are small basic text. #36, 37, 42 and 43 are large basic text.
Appendix 2: Tips on Using Harmonizer To find the best settings for your filter needs, follow the steps listed below. 1. What to Do: Determine the amount of positive and negative force exerted by the vibration on the scale. How to Do It: Set Threshld to 0.0, Constant to OFF, and Samples to Average to 1.0 A-Ds.
