Fig. 1: Model 7000XL Front Panel Layout The operational controls for the Model 7000XL consist of the ZERO, PRINT and UNITS buttons. A six digit LED display is used to display weight and operator messages during scale operation. Scale Annunciators Unit of measure lb, oz, kg, g or lb:oz.
"r" to confirm data transmission. There are many parameters that customize the control of manual and automatic transmission of data. Data can be transmitted via standard RS232, Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth or USB. Contact Doran Tech Support at tech@doranscales.com for support.
Battery Operation The 7000XL can be optionally configured with a self-contained Rechargeable Sealed Lead-Acid battery and charging circuit, both internal. The scale is designed to run continuously for up to 60 hours with a single 350 ohm load cell. To maximize battery life, leave the auto-off timer enabled which will automatically power down the scale after a period of non-use.
Installation Guide Fig. 2: Motherboard Layout Removing and Replacing the Rear Panel Before you remove the rear panel, remove AC power. Power down the scale if the optional battery power is present. Removing the rear panel requires a 5/16” nut driver. To replace the rear panel and achieve a tight seal, each screw requires a rubber bonded washer and the gasket needs to be in place.

Power Connection and Fuse Power input is located at terminal block TB5, next to the fuse and black transformer. Neutral Ground Line (Hot) Make sure power is off before replacing the fuse. The scale's fuse (F1) is located next to the power terminal (J1). The scale has a filtered power supply to reduce the effects of normal line noise, but it cannot limit severe fluctuations.

Output Connections Each output point consists of a current-sinking Darlington pair with a transient – suppression diode connected to +V. Jumpers JU7 and JU3 control whether +V is board-supplied 4.7 VDC or 12 VDC. One or the other jumper needs to be installed for output operation, but never both.
Calibration Guide Entering Calibration and Parameter Setup Mode Front Panel Access 1. Press and hold ZERO and UNITS simultaneously until the audit counters are displayed. 2. Ent Cd is displayed 3. Press ZERO 5 times, so that 5 is displayed, 4.
Set Scale Count By After the capacity has been entered, count by(resolution) will automatically be set for a legal for trade 5000 division level. 1. After calibration, press UNITS. 2. The display will alternate between Cntby and the current count by 3.
The maximum span, at full load is 750,000. If the span is higher, the span calibration will not be accepted. If the span counts are too low or too high, check the load cell connections. If the connections are correct, replace the load cell. If experiencing problems during calibration, contact Doran Scales technical support at tech@doranscales.com.

Data Communications To confirm data has been transmitted, the display will show a "r" in the leftmost digit. Transmit on Demand (tod) In this mode, scale data is transmitted whenever PRINT is pressed, a remote switch configured for a PRINT command is pressed, or a print request is received at the serial port.
Data String Formatting Many predefined data formats are available with the 7000XL. This allows for flexibility when communicating with a database, printer, remote display or other devices. The LB1-4 custom data strings provide the opportunity to define a custom print string up to 64 characters in length.

4-20mA Analog Output Option Introduction The 4-20mA Analog Output Option is used to provide an analog output that is proportional to the weight on the scale platform. The option board provides an active power loop for the communications. Because of the inherent noise immunity present in a current loop, an isolated 4-20mA analog output is ideal for use in noisy environments.
Wired Ethernet Option The Wired Ethernet Option (EXOPT302) connects your Excel Series scale to an Ethernet network. The Ethernet module is installed inside the indicator enclosure. The NEMA4X sealed RJ-45 Ethernet connector is bulkhead mounted to the rear panel of the indicator.
Wireless 802.11b/g Ethernet Option The Wireless Ethernet Option (EXOPT303) connects your 7000XL scale to a wireless network. The Wireless Ethernet Option is fully compliant with the 802.11b/g wireless network standard. Wireless communications are protected by up to a 128-bit security encryption.
If the scale is having trouble connecting, consider repositioning the scale and its antenna to strengthen the connection. Once the scale is connected to Doran’s terminal program Dimension, the exact signal strength can be found using the SWB remote command. See the below table for a...
Bluetooth Option Doran Scale’s Bluetooth option is a Class 3, Bluetooth 4.0, configured for SPP. The Bluetooth option does not require any external antenna for communication. Once paired, the Bluetooth module will function as a wireless RS232 serial cable. Each Bluetooth module has an individual 12-digit address i.e.
