Zero Window Initial automatic zero setting is ±10% of maximum capacity—active at power up. Manual zero setting range is ±2% of maximum capacity—active using the ZERO key. Under Capacity Limits Under capacity indication will be given with dashes appearing on the bottom line of the display whenever the display is more than 2 percent below the initial zero value.
Initial Setup 3.1 Unpacking the Scale Remove contents of the shipping container. Inspect the scale for evidence of shipping damage. Immediately report any damage to the shipper. 3.2 Installing the Scale Mount the scale on a stable, level surface that is free from air currents and vibration.

Operation 4.1 Power Up Test Sequence If RAM or ROM error is reported, you must press the TEST key to acknowledge the condition. See Error Codes and Troubleshooting on page 35. When the scale is first powered on, it will perform a test sequence. During this sequence, the display will show the following: The model number and the software revision level.

Accessing the Menu Mode The 7800 models power up ready for weighing operations. Access the Menu mode by setting Switch 1 shown in Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2 to the OPEN or Menu mode position. 5.1 Accessing the Gravity Mode Access the Gravity setting mode by setting Switch 2, shown in Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2, to the OPEN or Gravity mode position.

The structure for these menus is shown in Figure 5.3. Specific information about each mode followed by step-by-step instructions for accessing them are described in the following pages. Normal Weighing Mode Set Switch 1 to Set Switch 2 to Press the ZERO key to move in the menu...
5.3 Gravity Mode With Switch 2 in the Gravity Mode or OPEN position, you may increase the local gravity value by pressing the ZERO key, or decrease the value by pressing the TEST key. 5.4 Alternative Calibration Points The NCI 7800 bench scales allow calibration using less than full capacity weights. See Table 5.1 for alternative weights that can be used to calibrate your scale for its designated capacity.
5.5 Baud Rate and Parity Options The databits and stop bits default values are 7 data bits and 1 stop bit. These are not configurable. Table 5.2 Baud Rate and Parity Options Display Baud Parity 12 E 1200 Even 24 E 2400 Even 48 E...

AUTO-2: Weight is automatically transmitted when the item is placed on the scale and the weight stabilizes. This option is normally used in an application where the item placed on the scale is sealed and ready for the shipment weight to be registered. The minimum stable weight required to trigger an auto SEND is set at five display divisions (i.e.

If LBS (lb) was selected, the scale will display CLASS. If 1000G (kg) was selected, scale displays the present capacity setting.
To make the adjustment, you must know the value of the gravity constant for the local site. This value is expressed in meters per second, per second (i.e., m/s2). It is not necessary to calibrate the scale, therefore, no calibration weights are needed to make this adjustment.

Communication The 7800 family scales come factory configured with one communication port, however the data can be transfered out of the base using one of the following interface devises: 1 serial RS232, 1 USB VCP or 1 USB HID Only one of these interface devises can be used from the scale at a time. Below are the connections present on a 7820 and a 7880.
Driver required when connected to a PC. Download driver from the password protected portion of www.averyweigh-tronix.com. USB HID Used to connect to a dedicated PC terminal where the Avery Weigh-Tronix OPOS or UPOS (POS.NET) drivers have been integerated into a 3 party software application.
