Introduction BT-470 remote displays are designed to display measurement results transmitted by weighing terminals. The displays operate in the automatic mode by default (see Autolearn) and in standard installations do not require any prior configuration. For advanced options, it is necessary to adjust the settings via the WagSet RM software or through the user menu embedded in the device.
Wall and Pole Mounting The BT-470 Item# 841-100041 can be wall mounted by fastening the two angle brackets to the side of the display, then attaching to a sturdy wall. When installing without the visor, it is recommended to install in an area protected from direct sunlight and rain.
Autolearn Mode The autolearn mode is enabled by default (position no. 0 is set in the 'proto' submenu). To disable it, the communication protocol must be set manually using the embedded user menu or the WagSet RM software. When autolearn mode is active, each time the device is started, it detects the parameters of the communication with the weighing terminal and analyses the structure of the data frames it sends.
Embedded User Menu The button used to operate the menu is located on the controller board inside the display housing and marked B1. To access, unscrew the two philips head screws and slide out the controller board drawer. Once you have finished the configuration, push the drawer back, making sure that the seal is not compromised.
