Custom String Configuration can only be carried out using DiniTools in the “CUSTOM STREAM FORMATTING” section. The maximum length of the string configuration field is 100 characters. Fixed alphanumeric characters or variable macros may be used inside. There are also “tokens” that define the characters that a variable (<>) will become in the string when the indicator is in weighing mode.

Page 137: Battery Removal
35. BATTERY REMOVAL This section discusses how to remove and replace batteries found in DFWX series indicators. Depending on options, DFWX indicators can contain up to two batteries: • 3V CR2032 battery on optional ALIBI module. • 3.7V LiPo battery is standard in DFWXB, DFWXXB-HGX, DFWXB-WiFi and DFWXB-WIF-HGX models...
Page 138 Turn off the indicator. Disconnect the indicator power cable from the power outlet. Place instrument on an anti-static surface. Use a 7 mm wrench to remove retaining nuts on instrument's back panel. Set back panel aside. CAUTION: Handle the back panel carefully as it is attached to the indicator's ground circuit. CAUTION: A ground wire is attached to the back panel, detach ground retaining nut and wire with 5.5 mm wrench if needed.
Page 139 Observe the two battery access slots on the rear of the battery bracket. Carefully push the battery from the rear access slots with non-conductive tool until it slides out of the battery bracket. Insert a new battery with negative side toward PCB and positive side toward back cover. Reinstall cover using retaining nuts and 7 mm wrench.
Page 140: Battery Removal/Replacement
(ESD) when working inside the enclosure or removing parts from the enclosure. WARNING: Dispose of battery to according local laws and regulations. WARNING: When replacing the battery, use original batteries supplied by Dini Argeo. Battery Removal Procedure Turn off the indicator.
Page 141 Remove back panel retaining nuts with a 7 mm wrench. CAUTION: A ground wire is attached to the back panel, detach ground retaining nut and wire with 5.5 mm wrench if needed. Disconnect the battery cable from battery charging board on J2 (see wiring digram on page 20).
Page 142 Remove the Phillips screw retaining the battery mounting bracket. NOTE: This mounting screw also holds the power supply in place on one side. Ensure to reattach the mounting screw if the battery is not replaced. Detach the hex standoff retaining the battery mounting bracket.
Page 143 Carefully remove the battery and bracket from the enclosure. WARNING: Risk of fire and explosion. Do not burn, crush, disassemble or short-circuit batteries. Battery replacement: Reverse the previous procedure, ensuring the battery power cable faces up. When complete, plug charging cable in J2 in the battery charging board.
