INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of our Cardinal SB600 Remote Display. It was built with Cardinal quality and reliability at our factory in Webb City, Missouri. This manual will guide you through the installation, and operation of your display. Please read it thoroughly before attempting to install your display.
• Option Card). Optional • Remote inputs to control the traffic lights on the SB600 by a remote device. NOTE: Requires Model SB600RI with Remote Input. INSTRUMENT COMPATIBILITY Utilizing the Auto-Learn feature, the SB600 display can be driven by the following Cardinal weight indicators and by most weight indicators from other manufacturers.
MULTIPLE DISPLAYS The SB600 display has been designed to be linked or daisy chained to other SB600 displays allowing multiple lines of weight data to be displayed while being driven by a single serial port on the weight indicating instrument. Typical applications might consist of three displays showing Gross, Net, and Tare weights from a single indicator or four displays showing the weight from each of three platforms and a total weight also from a single weight indicator.
SITE PREPARATION Electrical Power The SB600 and SB600RI remote display has been designed to operate from 90 to 130 VAC at 50/60 Hz, 100 watts maximum. The SB600EU and SB600UK remote display has been designed to operate from 180 to 264 VAC at 50/60 Hz, 100 watts maximum.
INSTALLATION Unpacking Before beginning the installation of your SB600 remote display, make certain it has been received in good condition. Carefully remove the display from the shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents or scratches) that may have taken place during shipment.
INSTALLATION, CONT. Mounting the SB600 The SB600 display includes a two-piece bracket that is used to mount it on a wall or other flat vertical surface. The two-piece bracket along with two purchased U-bolts can also be used to mount the SB600 to Cardinal Scale’s 4.5-inch OD 10-foot-high mounting pole with base plate (8100-D028-0A), or 12-foot high mounting pole with base plate (8100-D028-1A).
Figure No. 5 – SB600 Mounted on Cardinal Pole The SB600 pole bracket has been designed with four 0.55-inch holes, spaced to accept the two 4.5-inch Clamping U-bolts to secure the bracket to the pole. The U-bolts included with the POLE-120 and POLE-144 are zinc-plated steel that complements the stainless steel finish of the SB600 Pole Bracket.

INSTALLATION, CONT. 3. With the pole installed, align the bracket on the back of the SB600 with the bracket on the pole. Lower the SB600 until the top of the two brackets are flush with each other. Figure No. 9 – Align Brackets and Slide Together 4.
INSTALLATION, CONT. Accessing the SB600 Controller Board and AC Power Connections Referring to Figure No. 12, continue by removing the twelve acorn nuts from the Bottom Access Panel, and fully lower the panel exposing the controller board and the AC power terminal block.
• For permanent installations or non-reversible plugs, a single-pole protection device to interrupt L1 (H) must be provided. • Some plugs/socket systems are reversible (L & N). In this case, an external dual protection device must be provided. 3601-0756-0M Rev D • SB600...

The SB600 remote display together with the PC-based program SB Imaging Software, allows users to design custom characters or graphic images to display on the SB600. With the software installed on a PC or laptop, up to eight custom characters or graphic images can be created, and then sent to the SB600 using an RS232 cable and the built-in download capabilities of the program.
