INTRODUCTION The T500ESS Digital Indicator is a general purpose, industrial grade weight indicator. One model is currently available, distinguishable by display type, enclosure type and power supply. Table 1 shows the T500ESS product matrix. This model can readout up to 50,000 display divisions and can supply enough current for up to 4-350 load cells.
Environment Avoid installing the indicator in areas of direct sunlight or high humidity Avoid sudden temperature change – if this is unavoidable allow equipment to ‘soak’ at a constant temperature for at least three hours before use Ensure that steady, clean AC power is available to the unit 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.
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY The TI-500E-SS indicator ships with an AC line cord attached to the indicator. Simply plug the unit into a standard wall outlet. 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...

USER MENU PROCEDURES This section provides instructions for all of the User Menu procedures. ID Number Entry (A8) 1. While in the User Menu mode, scroll to "A 8", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter the ID Number menu. 2.
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. Totalcomp recommends having your weighing equipment checked by a qualified scale technician at least once a year depending on its intended use and working environment.
6. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see next section). If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration. "Err0"...
KEY-IN ZERO CALIBRATION VALUE (F19) Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. A valid zero calibration value, obtained from a successful F16 calibration procedure, must be used. 1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 19", then scroll down once using the ZERO key. The display will momentarily show "ET C 0", followed by a value of zero 2.
OPERATION DISPLAY This model utilizes a 6-digit LED (Light Emitting Diode) display. Table 4 summarizes the display annunciators. GROSS TARE ZERO STABLE MEANING Annunciator ZERO Better known as the “Center of Zero” annunciator, this light is active whenever the displayed weight is within a pre-programmed band from true zero.
FUNCTION KEYS Units – This key toggles the indicator among the available weight units if enabled in the User (“A”) menu. Available weight units include lb, kg and pieces.. Zero - This key sets the indicator to display zero provided the following conditions are met: 1.
1. If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container off by pressing the TARE key. NOTE: The TARE key is inoperative when in sampling mode. 2. Press the UNITS key until “5 0” is indicated on the display. If the screen does not show “5 0”, press the ZERO key once.
LEGAL FOR TRADE SEALING Indicators can be sealed for commercial (Legal for Trade) applications as follows. 1. Power off the indicator. 2. On the back of the indicator, locate the setup/calibration switch cover. 3. Thread a wire security seal through both drilled head screws securing the calibration switch cover as well as the single drilled head screw holding on the rear panel.
