Page 3: Introduction
All setup parameters may be entered via the front panel keys, including calibration. If your Model TI-1500 Series Digital Indicator is part of a complete floor scale or has already been installed for you, you may skip to the operating instructions. Prior to using the indicator, please read this chapter carefully and completely. -
Page 4: Installation
Electrical Power The TI-1500 indicators have been designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. All units ship with the appropriate power plug for its area of intended use. To avoid electrical noise interference and/or stray AC electrical transients, try to operate the indicator from a circuit separate from any equipment containing inductive devices such as a contactor coil, solenoid, relay coil, or motor. -
Page 5: Connecting The Weigh Platform
CONNECTING THE WEIGH PLATFORM The TI-1500 model ships with a 15 ft shielded load cell cable for connection to weigh platform’s load cell(s) or junction box. 1. Plug the cable’s 14-pin parallel interface connector into the load cell port on the rear panel of the indicator. -
Page 6: Configuration
CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW The indicator contains two main configuration menus: The Setup (“F”) menu, which configures the indicator to your weigh platform 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 selections or programming procedures. -
Page 7: Menu Structure
MENU STRUCTURE All menus consist of a top level (heading) and a secondary level. The top level contains the code (e.g. F1) for the parameter to be configured. The secondary level contains the selection list or allows access to a programming sequence. - Page 8 CODE/NAME DESCRIPTION SELECTION LIST Sets the level at which motion is detected. If motion is not detected, Key-in the scale can process a Print or Zero command. Maximum value 0.0d/s – 32.0d/s Motion Band varies depending on local regulations. Expressed as scale divisions per second (d/s).

Set Date (A16) Your indicator will keep track of the current date for you, which can then be printed on the print ticket. Use this procedure to set the date, which must be set in mm/dd/yy format. For example, for January 7, 2008, you would enter 010708. -
Page 13: Calibration
CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW If your indicator was shipped as a complete scale, then calibration is not necessary. Please check with your installer or supplier if you are unsure. Transcell recommends having your weighing equipment checked by a qualified scale technician at least once a year depending on its intended use and working environment. -
