Opera- tions mode is fully explained in the User's Manual . Test Mode Use this mode to perform tests on the WI-150. The test mode is covered in the User's Manual . Configuration Mode Use this mode to set up options and program the operation of the scale and indicator.
Sealing the Indicator The WI-150 can be sealed. If sealed, no configuration items can be changed in the configuration menu. Seal the unit by placing switch S1-1 in the OFF position. Unseal the unit by placing S1-1 in the ON position. Remove the front panel of the indicator to gain access to switch S1-1.

Adjusting Dead Load The dead load offset adjustment provides compensations to cancel out the weight of the scale platform and any permanently fixed weight supporting structures on the platform. Adjusting the dead load should be completed before calibration of the Indicator. To adjust the dead load: 1.
Calibration Procedures To calibrate your WI-150, you must enter the Configuration Menu outlined below. If you are already in the Configuration Menu, go directly to the Make sure your test weights procedures for setting Zero & Span and Linearity and viewing Display which match the selected unit of are continued on the next page.
1. When ZERO is displayed, Setting ZERO and SPAN remove all weight from scale. (Calibration) Wait till the scale is stable and press SELECT. BUSY is displayed briefly, then 0 . ZERO is displayed. 2. Press SELECT again. 3. Press MENU. SPAN is displayed.
Reset Menu and Master Clear If the indicator's memory, calibration or other data becomes corrupted, a reset menu will become active. RESET will be displayed telling you there has been a problem. You may also choose to perform a Master Clear to The only items active for a reset the setup, adjust or data values to default values.
The following are instructions for moving around within the Configuration Menu: If a new microprocessor is installed in the WI-150, the COP (Com- puter Operating Properly) watchdog system will need to be reset. Do this by turning off the unit, placing a jumper between pin 1 and pin 2 of P7 and a jumper between pin 1 and pin 2 of P8.
Disassembly and Reassembly Follow these steps to disassemble and reassemble your WI-150 indicator. 1. Be sure the unit is not connected to a power source and remove the indicator from the stand by removing the two nuts pointed out in Figure...
