Install the radio module. Plug the module into terminals on the main PC board. Figure 5.1. The radio module plugs into the XR 2000 controller board in similar fashion. Route the radio signal cable to the bottom of the electronics carriage and secure the SMA terminal through the available hole.
Wireless Set-up for All XR Models 5.1.3 Base Station Wireless Transceiver The ScaleLink wireless transceiver is shown in Figure 5.2. Refer to the installation manual that is included with the ScaleLink for connection and configuration information. Figure 5.2 Base station (connects to the indicator) Figure 5.3 shows the inside of the ScaleLink.
5 Wireless Communication 5.2 Wireless Connection Test Verify that both the base station wireless transceiver and the XR are set to the same radio channel. If the XR’s readings are incorrect, erratic, or very slow, a different radio channel may need to be selected.

7 Configuration Mode Configuration Mode To set the different parameters available in the XR series, you must enter a configuration mode and then set each parameter to your desired value. Follow the steps below to enter the configuration mode and to set the parameters. 7.1 Entering Configuration Mode On the keypad on the bottom of the display press the UP and DOWN arrow keys together.
Configuration Parameters 7.2 Configuration Parameters Use the instructions in ’Entering Configuration Mode’, section 7.1 to access and change the following parameters. 7.2.1 Parameter 1.0: Daytime Brightness Level Value Description 0 = Low Set the brightness of the display for daytime viewing. The built-in light sensor 1 = Med Low automatically detects daylight conditions and sets the display brightness to this level.
7 Configuration Mode 7.2.5 Parameter 1.4: Multi-Drop ID Value Description 0 = ID 0< Sets the unit ID if multiple remote displays are networked together. Up to four XR 1 = ID 1 displays can be networked on a single serial or radio connection. Messages are sent 2 = ID 2 to individual displays using control codes and these IDs.
Auto-Learn Parameters 7.3 Auto-Learn Parameters 7.3.1 Parameter 2.0: Manual Learn (Assisted Learn) Value Description Lxxxxx Manual Learn activates Auto-Learn Mode from inside Configuration Mode. The remote display will analyze and attempt to learn the string. The message LEARN is displayed. When the remote display is successful, the weight will be shown on the display.
7 Configuration Mode 7.3.4 Parameter 2.3: Set Scale Over Value Description 0 = Auto< If there is no scale over status character in the weight string, or the Value for scale over target weight indicator continues to transmit past maximum capacity, the unit can be set to blank the display when the weight goes past a preset weight value.
Time / Date / Temp Parameters 7.4 Time / Date / Temp Parameters The XR remote display can cycle between displaying weight, time, date and temperature every five seconds when: a) the weight display is at zero AND; b) there is no activity on the scale for the selected time period.
7 Configuration Mode 7.5 Diagnostic Parameters 7.5.1 Parameter 9.0: Com Port Value Description 0 = RS232 Displays the currently active Com Port. 1 = RADIO 2 = 20mA 3 = RS485 7.5.2 Parameter 9.1: String Counter Value Description 0 to 65535 Counter indicates the number of characters received.
Diagnostic Parameters 7.5.6 Parameter 9.8: Test Display Value Description Cycles through time, digits, annunciators and decimal characters. 7.5.7 Parameter 9.9: Reset Defaults Value Description 0 = Do Not Reset Resets the configuration parameters to factory defaults. 1 = RESET XR Series Installation Instructions...
In some cases, the scale indicator may transmit leading zeros in the output string. If leading zeros are NOT required, they may be suppressed. The XR 2000 will automatically remove the leading zeros and replace them with blank spaces on the display.
