Scale Operation Fig. 1: Model 8200IS Front Panel Layout Scale Annunciators Unit of measure lb, oz, kg, or g. 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.
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. Powering On and Off Connect the indicator to a compatible AC or Battery power source. To turn the indicator on, press ZERO.
"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 fiber optics to Doran’s safe area fiber optic converter. Contact Doran Tech Support at tech@doranscales.com for support.
S.O. outputs are available on board due to intrinsic safety requirements. All output status will be communicated via fiber optic to a safe area communications box such as Doran’s optional 8FB fiber optic to RS232 converter. Enter SETPOINT Target Weight Press SETPOINT.
adjusted for that measurement. The overall change will be limited to a maximum of 63% of the setpoint value, regardless of the adjustment percentage. For Example: 20 pounds of a material is desired and material in transit is observed and estimated at 0.5 lb.
No outputs are available on board due to intrinsic safety requirements. All output status will be communicated via fiber optic to a safe area communications box such as Doran’s optional 8FB fiber optic to RS232 converter. To configure this operation: 1.
Product ID Standard Configuration 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 •...
Delete PRODUCT ID from Memory Enter the product ID to be deleted and press PROD ID. The display will show PRD ID followed by the Product ID number. Press and hold the CLEAR button for more than 2 seconds. The display will show and then .
Accumulator and Counter Standard Operation 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 accumulate automatically, select an auto print function in the parameter setup menu. To accumulate manually, allow the scale to become stable and press PRINT.
Checkweighing Operation The indicator can be converted from the standard configuration into checkweighing operation. Checkweighing removes the functionality of setpoints and outputs, and activates checkweighing. Some sections will be repeated to reflect the full functionality of the checkweighing operation. Three Band Checkweighing Three band checkweighing classifies weighments into over, accept and under.
Five Band Checkweighing Five band checkweighing classifies weighments into high, over, accept, under and low. Five Band Checkweighing (9.1 set to operation starting with S) C.O. 1. Press ZERO 2. Place an item on the scale 3. Checkweigh status is indicated as follows a.

Product Fields Checkweigh Operation The 8200IS has eight 40-character alphanumeric fields that can be entered and transmitted as desired using custom data strings. In addition, there is a ninth product field for serialization which increments from the five-digit number entered every time a print occurs.
QC Weigh Operation The 8200IS is capable of automatic checkweigh operation. Through use of our external data management program, ionSuite, users can: input custom products, input unique users, and run reports on the data collected. See the Product ID and User ID sections of this manual for more information of what can be input.
After a User ID has been entered, a new screen will appear showing the stored Product IDs. The scaler can user one of two methods to input their Product ID: The Product ID can be manually selected. Use the UNITS and PRINT buttons on the scale to scroll forward or backwards respectively.
Accumulator and Counter Checkweigh Operation 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 accumulate automatically, select an auto print function in the parameter setup menu. To accumulate manually, allow the scale to become stable and press PRINT.

Checkweigh Limit Entry C.E. Scroll from recalled value: Use the F1 (OVER) or F2 (UNDER) button to recall a limit. Then use the F1 (OVER) and F2 (UNDER) buttons to increase or decrease the recalled target value. Keyboard entry also supported. Scroll from reference weight: Place an item on the platform and press the F1 (OVER) or F2 (UNDER) button to enter that weight as a target value.
Data Communications To confirm data has been transmitted, the display will show a "r" in the leftmost digit. Transmit on Demand ( 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.

Auto Print 5 ( Auto Print 5 transmits the last stable scale reading following the scale leaving motion that is above the adjustable threshold level. Transmission does not occur until the scale returns below the threshold value. To adjust the threshold level as a % of capacity, see the Threshold Level (2.5 ) parameter.
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.
