INSTALLATION & OVERVIEW Remember that the installer is ultimately responsible to assure that a particular installation will be and remain safe and operable under the specific conditions encountered. The indicator must be properly configured and calibrated prior to use. Installation Find a suitable location for the indicator and use the included bracket to mount the unit to a wall or table.
The indicator features one full duplex RS-232 serial (COM) port, designed for connection to a computer or a serial printer. The same port may be also used as a simplex, RS-232 port de- signed for connection to a remote display. DSUB9 Connector Pin No.
INDICATOR CONFIGURATION Configuration Menus The TI-500E contains two (2) menus to configure the indicator: Setup (“F”) Menu – Configures all metrologically-related parameters including calibration proce- dures. User (“A”) Menu – Configures communication parameters and other misc. parameters, e.g., Units key behavior.
6. If there is a selection list, scroll thru the available parameter settings, use the TARE (left) or PRINT (right) keys. Otherwise, use the arrow keys to adjust the displayed value to the new value. 7. Once the setting you want is displayed on the screen, press the NET/GROSS (set) key to save this value.

INDICATOR CALIBRATION Calibration Overview There are two ways to calibrate the instrument: 1. Live calibration: You will be calibrating a scale platform to the indicator using actual loads, e.g., test weights. In general, this is the most accurate and dependable method of the two.
Page 13
If the calibration was not successful, one of the following error messages will appear. • "Err0" - The calibration test load or the keyed-in load is larger than the full capacity of the indicator. Change the calibration test load or check the input data. •...
ADVANCED OPERATION Piece Counting Mode This mode is used to calculate (“count”) the number of items (parts) you have placed onto the scale platform. To ensure accuracy, the items you wish to count must be consistent in weight. To activate this mode, set F24 to “1” in the Setup Menu. The indicator uses the sampling to determine the average piece weight (APW) of the items you wish to count.
SERIAL (COM) PORT INFORMATION SERIAL PORT MODES DEMAND DUPLEX MODE The Demand Duplex Mode provides a two-way serial transmission mode. In this mode, the output information is transmitted on demand; either by pressing the PRINT key or upon receiving a recognized command from a host. NOTE: Ensure that your cabling has a crossover (null modem) and contains the proper handshaking lines.
