Before you begin, please notice the configuration sheet that is supplied with this manual. The sheet lists the factory-programmed parameters for the AccuPro-5000™ based on ordering information. If there is a need to change any parameters, please reference this manual for options and instructions on how to proceed.
Panel first be connected to a power source to confirm normal operation. If it is functioning properly, the display should briefly indicate “Scaletron Industries” followed by data for either one or two active channels, depending on system configuration, having random (floating input) measurement values in the selected units.
(optional.) System Hardware The AccuPro-5000™ hardware has been designed for modularity of function. This concept enables each channel to be configured more efficiently through selection of optional circuit boards – all interconnected via a common backplane. Upon power-up, the system scans the configuration of circuit boards and presents a tailored suite of HMI control menus to the user.
