    After a brief initialization period, the scale will revert to a zero (“0”) weight display. Your wireless scale is now ready for operation! Operation – TI-700K Before weighing it is necessary to check if the scale is unloaded and indicating zero weight in the desired unit of measure, for example lb for pounds.

    Load Cell Terminal Block V+ and V– are the DC power connections to the board: On some units, the load cell shield con- nection (GND) is separate from load cell terminal block: RS-232 Connections (COM1) The indicator ships with a “piggyback” RS-232 communication board plugged into socket U9. Configure using the User/COM1 (“A1”) menu.
  • Page 12: Power Connections (Ac Version)

    Power Connections (AC version) The TI-700K indicator ships with a pre-installed AC line cord. It has been pre-wired to Terminal Block J1 at the factory. Simply plug the unit into a standard wall outlet. Power Connections (Optional Rechargeable Battery version) The TI-700K with rechargeable battery ships with a pre-installed battery charger connector and an external battery charger.
  • Page 13: External Usb 2.0 Port (Com2)

    External USB 2.0 Port (COM2) The indicator ships with an external USB 2.0 port. Connect a standard USB 2.0 cable between the indicator and your computer. Configure using the User/COM2 (“A2”) menu. This USB port requires installation of a driver on your computer. https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers The USB port can also be used to update the indicator’s firmware.
  • Page 14 Electrical Connections The TI-500 RFTM module requires an external 6VDC power supply. Single channel units re- quire about 60 mA of current to drive four 350-ohm load cells (20 mA plus 10 mA per load cell). Dual channel units require about 100 mA of current to drive eight 350-ohm load cells. The TI-500 RFTM module will operate normally down to approximately 4 VDC whereupon it will indicate a low battery condition.
  • Page 15: Indicator Configuration

    INDICATOR CONFIGURATION Configuration Menus The TI-700K contains three (3) menus to configure the indicator: Setup (“F”) Menu – Configures all scale-related parameters including calibration procedures. User1 (“A1”) Menu – Configures COM1 communication parameters and other misc. parameters, e.g., automatic turn off, etc.

  • Page 27: Indicator Calibration

    INDICATOR CALIBRATION Calibration Overview There are two ways to calibrate the indicator: 1. Live calibration: You will be calibrating an actual load sensor to the indicator using live test loads. You can have up to three span calibration points, denoted as C1 through C3. The value of each subsequent calibration point should be higher than the last, e.g., the C2 value should be greater than the C1 value, etc.
  • Page 28: Mv/V Span Calibration (F52)

    If the calibration was not successful, one of the following error messages will appear. • "Err0" - The calibration test load or the keyed-in load is larger than the full capacity of the instrument. Change the calibration test load or check the input data. •...
  • Page 29: Advanced Operation

    ADVANCED OPERATION Weight Hold This function captures an unstable load by freezing the weight reading on the display. Use the Motion Band (F5), Percentage Hold (F36) and Minimum Hold Weight (F37) settings to adjust this operation to your specific application. Use the A1-12-2 setting to set the color of the display when the weight has been locked onto the display.
