  • Page 5 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE TRANSCELL NEPTUNE 5500 SERIES CHECK- WEIGHER The Transcell Model NEPTUNE 5500 Series Checkweigher is an easy to use high speed, wash down, stainless steel bench scale. The main function of the NEPTUNE 5500 is to compare programmed weight readings to pre-set tolerance limits that define an ACCEPTABLE range.

    TABLE 1-1: Product Matrix CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED Step 1. Position the scale in its area of intended use. Observe the following guidelines for suitable location. 1. Choose a firm, stable floor or table. 2. Do not share an AC outlet with electrical noise producing equipment, such as refrigeration units.

    CONNECTING THE SERIAL PRINTER, REMOTE DISPLAY OR COMPUTER The NEPTUNE 5500 series indicator comes standard with a serial port, designated COM1 and a second port specified for the TTL outputs designated as COM2. COM1 is a full duplex, RS-232 port designed for connection to either a PC or a serial printer.

  • Page 9: Chapter 3: Basics Of Operation

    CHAPTER 3: BASICS OF OPERATION 3.1 DISPLAY The Model NEPTUNE 5500 scale utilizes a 1” High, Bright Red LED (Light Emitting Diode Display) capable of being viewed from up to 50’ away in brightly or darkly lit areas. 3.1.1 LIGHT EMITTING DIODE DISPLAY (LED) Figure below shows the display detail of the NEPTUNE 5500 Series.
  • Page 10 TABLE 2-1: KEYPAD FUNCTIONS KEYS MEANING The ZERO key sets the current Gross weight to Zero, provided the amount of weight to be ZERO removed is within the specified Zero range and the scale is not in motion. It is also used to move down in the user and configuration menus.

    UNDER The amber LED segments above the UNDER insignia indicate an underweight condition in the check weighing mode. TARGET The green LED segments above the TARGET insignia indicate an acceptable weight condition in the check weighing mode. OVER The red LED segments above the OVER insignia indicate an overweight condition in the check weighing mode.
  • Page 12 3.3.5 ENTERING A MAX AND MIN VALUE FROM THE KEYBOARD 1. To reset scale to weighing mode without max and min values, press and hold the PRINT button for three seconds. 2. Make sure the scale is displaying zero weight. If necessary, press the ZERO key. 3.

  • Page 13: Chapter 4: Advanced Features And Operation

    CHAPTER 4: ADVANCED FEATURES AND OPERATION TTL SETPOINT OUTPUTS This function works utilizing three 5Volt TTL outputs and allows your scale to work within a specialized system. This is useful if you are filling individual containers to a pre-determined TARGET weight value, or if you are check weighing individual portions, you can utilize the set points to activate an internal buzzer that will sound when the TARGET set point is reached.

  • Page 14: Chapter 5: Calibration

    CHAPTER 5: CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW The indicator is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in F16 (Zero) and F17 (Span) of the Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the indicator's non-volatile memory - F16 the zero value (deadweight) and F17 the span value (test weight). The minimum test weight that can be used is 1% of full-scale capacity.

    6. If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration. "Err0" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is larger than the full capacity of the scale.

  • Page 16: Key-In Calibration

    KEY-IN CALIBRATION VALUE (F20) FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. A valid span calibration value, obtained from a successful F17 calibration procedure, must be used. 1. While in the Setup mode, using the right or left arrow keys, scroll to "F 20", then scroll down once using the down arrow key.

  • Page 17: Chapter 6 Configuration Overview

    CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW The indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu which configures the indicator to your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu which configures the serial communication port and enables some user options. The Setup and User menus consist of several menu selections, each with its own sub-menu of choices.
