Scale Controls and Operation Fig. 1: Front Panel Scale Annunciators Unit of measure lb, oz, kg, g or lb:oz. The units annunciator to the right of the display will indicate the current unit of measure. Net weighing mode is indicated by the NET annunciator. The annunciator will illuminate when a net weight is displayed.
Motion indicator. This symbol represents motion or instability of the weight. The annunciator will illuminate when motion is sensed on the platform. Changes in weight, vibration or air currents can cause the scale to go into motion. 1 to 8 setpoint output status indicators. Below the weight display are annunciators that are illuminated when an output is active in weighing mode or the current setpoint or preact is being edited.
TARE Place the item you wish to tare on the scale platform and press TARE. The scale will display a net weight and the NET annunciator will illuminate. Tare weights will remain in memory even if the indicator is turned off. Keyboard TARE entry Enter a weight and press TARE to save or press CLEAR to cancel tare entry.

Password Protected Values To activate password protection, the PASS parameter must be configured with a numeric password. Once configured, password protection will be activated upon power up. If password protection is activated, the display will show PASS when Setpoint, Preact, Tare, values are displayed.
Setpoint and Output Operation The 2200 is equipped with eight outputs and eight setpoints. The output must be assigned by the Output Configuration (9.7 ouT) parameter to any of the eight setpoints, remote input, batch program control and threshold weight to activate. A setpoint is a target weight that triggers an output.
For Example: 20 pounds of a material is desired and material in transit is observed and estimated at 0.5 lb. Setpoint 1 is set to 20 lb Preact 1 is set to 0.5 lb Adjustment % is left at the default of 50% After running the process, the final weight is observed to be 20.3 lb Preact = 0.5 lb + 0.5 x (20.3 –...
Tank Level Maintenance Mode The F1L Setpoint Operation (9.4 S.o.) maintains a level in a tank between two setpoint target weights. This allows the tank to be drained to a desired amount before being refilled to a maximum target weight. Setpoint 1 will be the low level of the tank, and setpoint 2 will be the high level.
Battery Operation The 2200 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.
Product ID 800 product IDs are available. Deploying a large library of IDs with multiple scales can be easy to manage with Doran’s data management programs. Product IDs save information that includes: • Setpoint values • Preact values • Batch program assigned to product ID •...
To enter and save values for all fields associated with the current Product ID, enter values for each field. When changing products, the display will read SaVed to indicate that all fields associated with the new Product ID number are saved and will be recalled when that product is used again.
Batch Program Operation A batch program uses a series of commands to operate a control process. Operating Mode (1.12 oP) must be set to batch operating mode for batch programs to run. Up to 100 programs can be stored at one time. Each program can contain up to 100 commands.
Batch Commands Command Description START START button press required. Use to pause a batch that requires user interaction. TARE Performs a TARE operation ZERO Performs a ZERO operation PRINT Performs a PRINT operation Places the indicator in NET mode Note: Setpoint Weight Operation (9.5 Suu.) setting controls setpoint target weight and the net weight may not be the setpoint target weight.

Time and Date Setting Time and Date Press and hold decimal point / clock button until date is displayed. The current date flashes on the display. To toggle between the current time and date, press the decimal point button. The display reads tinne when the time is displayed. To change the date: 1.
Accumulator and Counter Accumulator and Counter Operation When a manual or automatic print function is executed, the accumulator has the currently displayed weight added to its current value and the counter is incremented. To confirm an accumulation and counter operation, the left most display digit will momentarily display an o.
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.
Load Cell Connection Load cell connections are made through terminal block TB1. The power cord connects to terminal block TB5 adjacent to the transformer. Fig. 3: Load Cell and Power (lower left of board) 4 wire load cell 6 wire load cell J1 Jumper J2 Jumper Load Cell Input (TB1)
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. 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. Note: Lb:oz unit is not supported in data strings.
