  • Page 4: Installation

    Electrical Power The TI-1520 indicator has been designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. All units ship with the appropriate power plug for its area of intended use. To avoid electrical noise interference and/or stray AC electrical transients, try to operate the indicator from a circuit separate from any equipment containing inductive devices such as a contactor coil, solenoid, relay coil, or motor.

  • Page 5: Connecting The Weigh Platform

    The TI-1520 indicator contains a connection terminal on the main board for connection to the load cell cable. Connect your shielded load cell cable (not included) to the appropriate terminal on the main board.

  • Page 6: Connecting The Serial I/O Device

    CONNECTING THE SERIAL I/O DEVICE The TI-1520 model comes standard with one full duplex RS-232 serial port, designed for connection to a computer or a serial printer. The same port may be also used as a simplex, RS-232 port designed for connection to a remote display.

  • Page 7: Menu Structure

    MENU STRUCTURE All menus consist of a top level (heading) and a secondary level. The top level contains the code (e.g. F1) for the parameter to be configured. The secondary level contains the selection list or allows access to a programming sequence. Use the directional keys to move around in the Menu Structure shown below.

    Set Date (A16) Your indicator will keep track of the current date for you, which can then be printed on the print ticket. Use this procedure to set the date, which must be set in mm/dd/yy format. For example, for January 7, 2008, you would enter 010708.

  • Page 13: Calibration

    CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW If your indicator was shipped as a complete scale, then calibration is not necessary. Please check with your installer or supplier if you are unsure. Transcell recommends having your weighing equipment checked by a qualified scale technician at least once a year depending on its intended use and working environment.

    KEY-IN ZERO CALIBRATION VALUE (F19) Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. A valid zero calibration value, obtained from a successful F16 calibration procedure, must be used. 1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 19", and then scroll down once using the ZERO key. The display will momentarily show "ET C 0", followed by a value of zero 2.

    KEYBOARD The keyboard is composed of five function keys shown below. FUNCTION KEYS Units – This key toggles the indicator among the available weight units if enabled in the User (“A”) menu. Available weight units include lb, kg and pieces. Zero - This key sets the indicator to display zero provided the following conditions are met: 1.

  • Page 18: Piece Counting Mode

    PIECE COUNTING MODE IMPORTANT NOTE: The piece counting function cannot be used in commercial (NTEP) applications. To activate this mode, set F30 to 3. This mode is used to indicate the number of pieces of an item you have placed on the scale’s platform and is accessed by pressing the UNITS key. To ensure accuracy, the parts you are counting must be consistent in weight.

  • Page 19: Remote Display Mode

    To activate this mode, set F30 to 2. This mode is used to emulate a remote display for a separate indicator. For it to work properly, a remote indicator must be transmitting information to the TI-1520 continuously and at the same transmission (baud) rate configured in A1.
