DI-10 OPERATING MANUAL
1.0. GENERAL
1.1. DESCRIPTION
The DI-10 Indicator offers a practical solution to a wide range of weighing applications.
There are a variety of weight capacities and increments available. The display resolution
is selectable from 1/3000 to 1/10000. It features keyboard calibration with auto-span.
Operates on 6 “C” cell batteries or with its AC/DC adapter. The DI-10 is able to support
single load cells that have an output range of 0.4mV/V to 4.0mV/V. The DI-10 is able to
support up to 4 load cells when used with the AC/DC adapter. This indicator features
LCD graphic display, 5 weighing modes, optional devices such as RS-232, Set Point
Output, and a built in Printer. For a list of platforms sizes and available above mentioned
capacities see page 2.
This instruction manual will provide the user with all the information necessary to
understand, set-up and operate the DI-10 scale. Included in this manual are descriptions,
specifications, drawings, and operating instructions.

2.0. INSTALLATION
This section provides the information required for installation of the DI-10 weight indicator.
The following steps accomplish installation.
1. Unpacking
2. Set-up Procedure
2.1. Unpacking
Each component of the DI-10 is packed in a specially designed carton. Remove each
component from its carton, separate the component from its polystyrene shell assembly
and set aside. Inspect the carton interior to be sure that all accessories have been
removed from the carton. Inspect the carton inner panels for accessories.
NOTE:
Be sure to repack all materials within the carton set. Store the cartons in a
secure area so they can be available whenever shipment of the scale is required.
2.2. Inspection
Immediately after unpacking, a visual inspection of the instrument should be performed.
If any damage has been incurred during transportation the shipper and DIGI MATEX
INC. should be notified immediately. Instructions for assessment of damage and further
procedures will then be determined.
2.3. Repackaging
If, at anytime, the DI-10 weight indicator must be returned for modification, calibration,
or repair, be sure that it is properly packed with sufficient cushioning materials.
Whenever possible, the original carton assembly should be retained for this purpose.
Any damage caused by improper packaging will not be covered by warranty.

6.0. MAINTENANCE, CALIBRATION, TEST PROCEDURE & SERVICE
This section contains information and instructions concerning maintenance of the DI-10
weighing Scale.
Preventive maintenance consists of periodically cleaning the external surfaces of the instrument
and should be performed as often as operating conditions warrant.
The calibration procedure is designed to be an aid in maintaining the scale accuracy within
specifications. The calibration procedure may also serve as a performance test procedure.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY SERVICE WHILE THE INSTRUMENT
IS CONNECTED TO THE POWER LINES.
6.1. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
6.1.1. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE
The exterior surfaces of the counting scale can be easily cleaned using soap and
water. However, extreme caution should be used so that there is no possibility of
water penetration into the scale electrical or mechanical sections. A damp cloth or
sponge is suggested. NEVER USE ACETONE, MEK, OR SIMILAR
SOLVENTS ON THE PLASTIC HOUSING AS THEY WILL ETCH THESE
SURFACES.
For grease or other difficult spots, a chlorothane or naptha based cleaner may be
used. Never use any solvents on the front or rear panels.
Accumulations of dust or direct particles between the pins of the connectors may
be removed by using dry forced air or a small dry brush.
6.1.2.INTERNAL MAINTENANCE
Internal maintenance is not normally required and if it is, should not be attempted
except by a qualified, authorized service technician.

6.4. ERROR MESSAGE LIST
The following error messages will appear when an incorrect operation is taken :
Add OF Whwn accumulated weight total exceeds 6 digits.
When quantity displayed exceeds 6 digits.
OF When displayed weight exceeds scale capacity.
Spn Er When weight value entered during calibration
procedure is not in proper range .
−−−−−−
When zero calibration is not correct during calibration
procedure.
Please try Zero and Span calibration.
8 8 8 8 8 8 When zero calibration is not correct when in weighing
mode.
Please try Zero and Span calibration
Add X X When sample weight is an insufficient sample size.
Please place X X more pcs on scale press [PCS] key
SP Err
When an incorrect setpoint value is entered ↓ (Err)
(ex.SP1 = 2.00[LO] SP2 = 4.00[OK] SP3= 0.00[HI] )
Sub UF When total weight is minus.
F F F F F F When quantity result exceeds 6 digits.
