Page 19: Chapter 6: Calibration
CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW The indicator is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in F16 (Zero) and F17 (Span) of the Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the indicator's non-volatile memory - F16 the zero value (deadweight) and F17 the span value (test weight). The minimum test weight that can be used is 1% of full-scale capacity. -

4. After setting the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value. 5. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "EndC1" momentarily, then revert back up to F17. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see Section 6.4). -
Page 21: Key-In Span Calibration Value (F20)
KEY-IN SPAN CALIBRATION VALUE (F20) Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. A valid span calibration value, obtained from a successful F17 calibration procedure, must be used. 1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 20", then scroll down once using the ZERO key. 2. -
Page 22: Chapter 7: Operation
CHAPTER 7: OPERATION 7 .1 DISPLAY The Model TI-500 indicator utilizes a 5-1/2 digit LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display the weight and system information while the Model TI-500E indicator utilizes a 6-digit LED (Light Emitting Di- ode) display. Typically, LCD’s are used for outdoor applications while LED’s are used indoors where brightness is needed. -

Page 27: Appendix B: Serial Port Information
APPENDIX B: SERIAL PORT INFORMATION SERIAL PORT MODES B.1.1 FULL DUPLEX MODE The Full Duplex Mode provides a Demand serial transmission mode and is selected by setting A3 to “d” and A6 to “0”. The Demand mode allows control from a host device, usually a PC, and can be activated by pressing the PRINT key on the indicator’s front panel. -
Page 28: Recognized Host Commands
B.1.1.1 RECOGNIZED HOST COMMANDS “P” - This command is sent to the indicator to print the indicated display. The indicator will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. “Z” - This command is sent to the indicator to zero the scale. The indicator will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. -
Page 29: Simplex Mode
B.1.3 SIMPLEX MODE The Simplex Mode provides a continuous serial transmission mode and is selected by setting A3 to “C” and A6 to “0”. The Continuous mode is used to interface to computers, scoreboards, and other remote devices requiring constant data updating. The transmission occurs at the end of each display update. -
Page 30: Appendix C: Determining Proper Span Gain (F2
APPENDIX C: DETERMINING PROPER SPAN GAIN (F2) SPAN GAIN OVERVIEW The Span Gain parameter found in F2 of the Setup Menu is directly related to the ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) integration time. This means that the lower the setting, the higher the number of measurements per second. - Page 31 # of External Full Scale Input Range (mV/V) Grads 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 4,000 5,000 – 6,000 – 8,000 – 10,000 – – 12,000 – – 15,000 – – – 20,000 – – – – 30,000 – – – –...

APPENDIX D: DISPLAYED ERROR CODES CODE MODE MEANING / POSSIBLE SOLUTION Normal Operating Gross Overload. A weight greater than the rated capacity has been Mode applied to the scale. Remove the weight from the platter or try re- calibrating the scale. Otherwise, check for a bad load cell connection or possible load cell damage due to overloading. - Page 33 If you are authorized by Triner Scale to ship the product to Triner Scale for repair, it is your responsibility to securely package the product in its original container or an equivalent and provide proof of the date of original purchase.
