    CONNECTING THE SERIAL PRINTER, REMOTE DISPLAY OR COMPUTER The NEPTUNE 6500 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.

    3.3 GENERAL SCALE OPERATION 3.3.1 WEIGHING AN ITEM If necessary, press the Zero soft key to obtain a weight reading of zero. Place the object to be weighed on the scale’s platter and allow the weight indication to stabilize. If the item weight exceeds the scale’s weight capacity, it displays “000000”.
  • Page 13 3.3.6 ENTERING A SINGLE TARGET VALUE 1. Press the MIN key. Enter the single target value. The under lights are on when the weight is less than the min value, the target (accept) lights are on when the weight is equal to the target value and the over lights are on when the weight is greater than the target value.

  • Page 14: Chapter 4: Advanced Features And Operation

    CHAPTER 4: ADVANCED FEATURES AND OPERATION ITEM ID STORAGE Your scale can store UNDER/OVER//TARE/UNIT information for up to 100 items. These items are stored and retrieved under a Product ID number. The ID numbers are assigned by the scale operator. Each ID record may contain: ·...

  • Page 15: Setpoint Outputs

    TTL SET POINT 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 16: 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 18: Key-In Calibration

    KEY-IN SPAN CALIBRATION VALUE (F20) 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. KEY-IN CALIBRATION VALUE (F20) Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss.

  • Page 19: 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.
