INDICATOR MOUNTING
The indicator is easily attached to the Indicator Mounting Bracket by hooking the top over the
plate and securing the bottom with two screws and nuts (size# 10 - 24 × 5/8" or M5 × 16mm).
POWER CONNECTION
Warning!
Always disconnect the indicator power cord before “jump starting” or fast charging a battery.
Disconnect all indicator leads before welding on equipment. Failure to do so can cause surges
which will damage the scale.
The power cable should be connected directly to a vehicle battery or regulated power supply. The
scale end of the power cable is attached to the J901 connector located on the bottom panel of the
scale.
Connect the RED wire from the power cable to +12VDC and the BLACK wire to GROUND. The
indicator is fused internally at 4 amps.

3. Setup and Calibration Requirements
Warning!
This indicator was calibrated at the factory to weigh accurately with your system.
Additional calibration is not necessary under normal conditions.
The Short Form Setup & Calibration procedure allows you to change the SETUP and CAL
numbers of the indicator. You may want to perform this procedure if:
1. the indicator is being connected to different load cells, or
2. you want to adjust the calibration to match another scale system (chapter 4).
Before continuing, first write down the current SETUP and CAL numbers of your EZ indicator.
These numbers are displayed during the Self Test.
TO RUN THE SELF TEST
1. With the indicator already ON, press
to start the Self Test.
2. Press
to "pause" the Self Test while numbers are displayed.
3. Press
again to "resume".
SETUP # CAL #
!
Do not attempt to calibrate the scale if the indicator is not reading stable weights. The
calibration procedure will not fix instability, inconsistencies, or flashing "RANGE"
messages.

4. Matching EZ scale to another scale
Sometimes two different scales are used to weigh the same load. When this is done, the weight
measured by each scale may not be the same. This can be caused by one or both of the two scales
being slightly out of calibration. This indicator has the ability to match any other scale, even if
that scale is not calibrated.
To match your EZ scale (Scale A) to another scale (Scale B) you must determine the Calibration
Multiplier. To do this, place a load on Scale A (feed wagon, etc...) and write down the weight
displayed. Repeat several times to determine the average weight. Next, place the same load on
Scale B and again write down the weight displayed.
Repeat several times to determine the average weight. Use the following formula to determine
the Calibration Multiplier for the EZ’s "CAL" number:
!
It is important to use an average of several weights before calibrating the scale.
SCALE MATCHING EXAMPLE
Original SETUP # 127060
CAL# 23980
1 trial 2 trial 3 trial
Scale B
30,000 30,580 28,000
Scale A
29,440 29,800 27,500
1.020 + 1.026 + 1.018 = 3.064
B ÷ A
3.064 ÷ 3 trials = 1.021 Cal. Multiplier
New EZCAL# = Orig. EZCAL# × Cal.Multiplier
24484 = 23980 × 1.021
!
You should not modify your "SETUP" number. Only your "CAL" number.

CONNECTING EZ INDICATOR TO
OTHER LOAD CELLS
You will need the number and type of load cells
used in the new scale system. You will also need
the current "SETUP" and "CAL" as described
above. Once you have written down this
information, contact your nearest Scale Service
Center for new "SETUP" and "CAL" numbers.
Follow the instructions “To Change the Setup /
Calibration Numbers” shown below.
Press and hold the
key, then press the
key, to enter Short Form Setup & Calibration.
CHANGE SETUP AND
CALIBRATION VALUES
The first message displayed is SETUP.
Next, the actual SETUP number is displayed.
!
Press the key for additional help
information during Setup and Calibration.
If the correct SETUP number is displayed, press
the
key to advance to the CAL number.
1. Press the
key to cause the “flashing” digit
to count upward.
2. Press the
key to select which digit is
flashing.
When the correct SETUP number is displayed,
press the
key to advance to the CAL number.
This displays the CAL message,
followed by the CAL number.
!
The CAL number is not a weight. It is a
reference value the indicator uses to determine the
weight. This number directly affects the accuracy
of the scale system.
Change the CAL number using the same method
described in Steps 1& 2. When the display shows
the correct number, press the
key.
This causes the number to be stored permanently
in the indicator and returns the indicator to the
weighing mode.

5. Getting started
To operate the scale, first attach the scale's power cord to connector J901 and the loadcell cable to
connector J902 on the bottom panel of the scale.
Press the
key. A brief message is displayed (such as
HELLO
).
The scale enters the GROSS mode.
A warm up period of ten to fifteen minutes provides the most accurate readings. If the scale is
holding a load for a long period of time (ex. overnight), the weight displayed may vary because of
zero shift created by changes in temperature. This does not affect the accuracy of the scale.
For example, if the system was loaded with 1000lbs, it might read 1200lbs the following day. The
change in temperature "zero shifted" the ZERO/BALANCE from 0 to 200lbs. When unloading the
scale, the display will count from 1200 to 200lbs for a total of 1000lbs.
After this warm up period, press and release
. Then, within three seconds, press
.
The word
ZERO
is displayed to show completion of the ZERO/BALANCE step.
Now the scale is ready to weigh!

The scale is in Hold Mode if the word
HOLD
is
flashing on the display and the flashing
hold weight
is only displayed for a brief time.
TO EXIT HOLD MODE
Press .
At this time the scale reactivates and adjusts the
Zero/Balance to maintain the gross weight
displayed. Small changes in weight can occur while
moving the scale system to new locations for
loading or unloading. This change is called "zero
shift" and is due to several factors including terrain
changes and mechanical stresses.
TO CANCEL HOLD MODE
Press .
