1310 Front Panel
Plug the 1310 into an easily
accessible grounded outlet
only. Never use the unit
without an appropriate earthground connection.
Any computer based system
should have a separate,
grounded power circuit. We
recommend one for the
1310.
A power surge suppression
unit is recommended between
the 1310 and AC outlet.

1310 Front Panel
Main Display
To increase the contrast of the
display, press and hold the
DECIMAL POINT and 7 keys
until the desired contrast is
reached. To decrease the
contrast of the display, press
and hold the DECIMAL POINT
and 1 keys until the desired
contrast is reached.
Front Panel Keys
Hard Keys
Use this key to toggle
UPPER and lower case
alpha characters, while
entering alphanumeric
characters.
The main display is a 240 x 64 dot, dot-addressable, vacuum fluorescent
display. The ability to address each of the dots individually makes this
display nearly as versatile as a computer screen. It can display graphics,
words and numbers. This flexibility allows graphics and alphanumeric
characters to be displayed at the same time.
The keys on the front panel of the 1310 are of two types, hard keys and soft
keys. Hard keys are labeled directly and soft keys are labeled F1-F5. If a
soft key has a function, its label appears at the bottom of the display. Soft
keys function differently at different times and their labels change as
needed.
Below are brief descriptions for each of the hard key functions:
Repeatedly press the SELECT key to scroll through the
available weight reading displays. (Examples - gross,
net, tare, minimum, maximum, etc.)
For alpha entries, this key toggles UPPER/lower case
entry (if Lowercase Enable is turned on in the configuration). If lower case is selected, "abc" will appear in the
upper right of the display.

Model 1310 Truck Scale In/Out Application User’s Manual
Press the UNITS key to scroll through the available
units of measure (lb, kg, oz, etc.).
Press the PRINT key to send data to a connected
printer. By default this key performs a DOPRINT
command followed by a DOACCUM command.
Press the TARE key to tare the current gross weight,
then repeatedly press SELECT to scroll through the
tare, gross and net weight displays.
Press the ZERO key to establish a zero reference. A
center-of-zero icon will be displayed when the weight is
within ¼ division of zero. During motion an M will appear
below the center-of-zero icon.
ON/OFF
Clear
key
If the indicator is powered down
via the ON/OFF/Clear key or
by sleep mode time-out, press
this key to power the indicator
back up.
If a display appears in which
alpha or numeric characters
can be entered, key function
switches automatically so
that repeated pressing of
one key causes the number
to appear first followed, by
the alpha characters in
descending order as labeled
on the key. If you wait for the
cursor to appear on the
display and press a key, a
new character is added to
the previous one entered.
Press the ESCAPE key to back out of menus or cancel
a numeric entry without accepting the value. Press and
hold the ESCAPE key for 3-5 seconds to gain access to
Password Entry Mode.
Press the C(Clear) key to clear values from the display
prompts. Press and hold the C key for five seconds to
power down the indicator.
Press the ENTER key to enter a keyed in value or
accept a displayed choice.
The alphanumeric keypad is for entering number and
alpha characters. If a display for entering numbers only
appears, you can key in the numbers using the keypad
normally.
If a display appears in which alpha or numeric characters can be entered, key function switches automatically
so that repeated pressing of one key causes the number to appear first, followed by the alpha characters in
descending order as labeled on the key. If you wait for
the cursor to appear on the display and press a key, a
new character is added to the previous one entered.
Soft Keys
Soft keys are so-called because their function is not fixed. Function can
change as mode of operations change or as the program for your particular
setup changes.
There are five predefined soft keys used in the Truck In/Out application. See
Figure 1.
