    The power supply may also be used as the main power supply. If your Model TI-500-EU Digital Indicator is part of a complete floor scale or has been installed for you, you may skip to Chapter 7 for operating instructions. Prior to using the indicator, please read this chapter carefully and completely.

  • Page 6: Chapter 2: Installation

    2.1.2 CONNECTING THE SERIAL PRINTER, REMOTE DISPLAY OR COMPUTER The TI-500-EU indicator comes standard with one full duplex RS-232 serial port, designed for connection to either a PC or a serial printer. The same port may be also used as a simplex, RS-232 port designed for connection to a remote display.

    Figure 2-3: Connection assignments for the serial communication terminal 2.1.3 CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY 1. The indicator ships standard with an external AC to DC adapter. Simply plug the AC adapter into the indicator’s DC Power Jack first, and then plug into a standard wall outlet.

  • Page 8: Chapter 3: Configuration

    CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW The indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu, which configures the indicator to your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu, which configures the serial communication port and enables some user options. The Setup and User menus consist of several menu selections, each with its own sub-menu of choices.

The display will momentarily show "ID NO", followed by a value with one flashing digit.

  • Page 16: 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).

    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 19: Chapter 7: Operation

    CHAPTER 7: OPERATION 7 .1 DISPLAY The Model TI-500-EU indicator utilizes a 6-digit LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display the weight and system information. Table 7-1 summarizes the display annunciators. 7.1.1 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) Figure 7-1 shows the display detail of the TI-500-EU LCD.

  • Page 21: Taring An Item

    7.3.2 TARING AN ITEM To weigh an item in a container, the weight of that container must first be subtracted from the overall weight to obtain an accurate weight reading. This is known as taring. 1. Select the desired weighing unit by pressing the lb/kg key until that unit is indicated on the display.

  • Page 23: 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 24: 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 25: 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.
