– each component must be packed separately and cannot 'bump' during transportation. Due to protective packaging, the device should be stored in the temperature -25°C ÷ +60°C [- 13°F ÷ 140°F] at the humidity below 99%RH. TL-280 Construction det. A -roof; det. B - controller;...

Alternative mounting options The roof construction allows you to mount the signalling device on posts with diameters of 50÷70mm [2÷2.8in] and 100÷120mm [3.9÷4.7in], using a U-bolt with a rod diameter of 8mm [0.7in] (Fig. 4), or on the BT-470 scale display visor (Fig. 5). Fig.
TL-280 Configuration The configuration of the device using the menu allows: Choice of a communication protocol with a control module, such as a weighing terminal, an operator panel Determining the response to the events reported by the control module Embedded user menu ("DEF" microbutton) The user menu embedded in the device allows you to select a communication protocol, display the information about the software version, display the set protocol, reset to the default settings.

The user menu has the following options: 1) i (info) - This option allows you to display the software version and returns the information about the set communication protocol. Exiting the info option is done automatically after displaying the information. 2) P (proto) - This option allows you to select a signalling device communication protocol to work with the given control modules uploaded to the device memory.

In 7 seconds, the signalling device will go into the default display state. Changing Ethernet Settings Wagset Software can be used to change the IP address. The TL-280 does not support a web application like the BT-480.
Additional options Operator panel Item# 841-500083 The operator panel is a separately offered accessory (additional option) which, among others, can work with the device. On the panel, there are two monostable buttons that allow you to change the information displayed by the signalling device. An example of the panel is shown in Fig.
