Introduction
Major sections of this manual are
separated by the large black bars as
seen above and below. Subsections
are titled in this lefthand column.
Notes, definitions, and other
information also appear in this
column
The model FI-127 is a versatile, full-featured indicator housed in a stainless steel
enclosure. Its user interface includes an 8-digit, 7-segment LED display, fourteen
LED annunciators, and 24 keys.
This manual is divided into the following major sections:
• Introduction
• Operating Modes
• Front Panel
• Error Messages
• Using Your FI-127
• Using the User Menu
• Using the Service Menu
• Reset Menu/Master Clear
• Adding and Calibrating a Loadcell
• Step by Step Instructions
• Freeze Force Function
• Data Capture
Operating Modes
There are three modes of operation for the FI-127—Display mode, User Menu
mode and Service Menu mode.
In Display mode you perform all normal force measurement operations.
The User and Service menus give you access to testing modes, configuration of
your system, database and system information. This manual explains how to use
these different modes of operation.

Front Panel
The FI-127's front panel consists of 24 keys and fourteen annunciators.
Keys
Standard Instrument Keys
Function Keys
Figure 1
FI-127 Front Panel
The FI-127's keys are divided into four primary groups:
Standard Instrument Keys These yellow keys are common to a majority of
applications and include SELECT, PEAK RESET, DATA SEND, ZERO, and UNITS.
The SELECT and UNITS keys are placed next to the annunciators they affect.
SELECT Use to switch between force, peak ad first peak display modes.
SELECT can also be used to accept a current selection and
return to weigh mode from within any menu.
PEAK RESET Use to reset all peak and first peak values. This key may also be
used to capture the current measurement as an entered value
during data entry.
DATA SEND Use to initiate one or more serial outputs.
ZERO Zeros the scale in the display mode. Also clears values in
numeric entry.
UNITS Switches the units of measure in the display mode. Up to three
units of measure are selectable.
Function Keys These oval keys along the right side of the display face are
configurable and are labeled F1, F2, and F3. The default configurations for these
keys are:
F1 Allows load cell selection
F2 Allows entry of ID number
F3 Allows access to cutoff registers.
6
Keypad Keys
Keypad Keys These are the twelve square keys which support numeric entry.
The keyboard keys are labelled 0-9, plus/minus (+/-), and decimal point (.) and are
located near the center of the display face.
+/- This key is used to change the sign of a numeric entry, enter a dash in ID
entry, and insert when editing lists. This key also initiates numeric entry,
except in display mode where it serves to toggle between tension and
compression for bidirectional cells. Toggling between tension and compression resets peak, first peak and break detect; unfreezes the force display; and
halts data capture.
Directional Keys
Directional Keys The directional keys are used to navigate through the FI-127's
menus. These keys are labeled ESCAPE (up), ENTER (down),
MENU (right) and are positioned in a compass-like cluster on the display face.
These directional keys are denoted by the small transparent arrows located next
to them. ESCAPE, ENTER, and
ESCAPE Exits a menu parameter without saving any changes. This key moves
up within a menu. In display mode, ESCAPE "unfreezes" the force
display.
ENTER Used to end digit entry, accept a change made, or select an item
from a function list. ENTER moves down within a menu. When in
display mode, ENTER "unfreezes" the force display.
ÅÅ
Å Backspaces (deletes the last digit or punctuation mark entered)
ÅÅ

MENU Accesses user menus and moves right within a menu.

Annunciators
The FI-127 has fourteen annunciators.
Force Illuminates when indicator is in force display mode.
Peak Illuminates when indicator is in peak display mode.
1st Peak Illuminates when indicator is in first peak display mode.
lbf, kgf, N Illuminates the active unit of measure in weighing mode.
Data Send: Illuminates when the indicator is transmitting data.
Does not illuminate when a host connection is communicating
with the indicator or with continuous send.
Zero: Illuminates when the scale is within the configured center
of zero.
Motion: Illuminates when the scale detects motion (within
configured motion window).
Under, Accept, Over Specific application annunciators.
Tension Indicates the type of force being measured.
Compression Indicates the type of force being measured.

Using Your FI-127
Setting Up Your FI-127
Performing a Force
Measurement
First Peak
First peak is defined as an applied
force, followed by a drop in force of
at least x% of full capacity followed
by an ultimate peak in force. x is
called the capture percentage. You
can set this percentage via the front
panel. Instructions can be found in
the section Using the Service
Menu. See the graphed example in
Figure 2.
Your FI-127 will probably be ready to use when you receive it from your Dillon
distributor. Connect the loadcell to the 7-pin connector on the back of the unit.
Connect your RS-232 communication equipment to the other connector on back
of the FI-127. Power up your peripheral equipment and plug in the FI-127 to an
appropriate grounded power source.
The indicator will power up in Display mode with annunciators lit for your
application. From the factory, the default annunciators which are lit are Force,
Tension and lb F. The center of zero (COZ) annunciator should also be lit. If the
display does not show 0 or the COZ annunciator is not lit, press the ZERO key.
Your unit is now ready for use in your force measurement application. If you want
to add a loadcell, see the section Adding a Loadcell later in this manual.
1. With the indicator powered up,
select the unit of measure you
want to use by pressing the
UNITS key. . . The proper annunciator will light.
2. Press the ZERO key if the display
does not show 0 and apply force
to the loadcell. . . The force will be displayed in the unit
of measure you have chosen. The type
of force, tension or compression, will
be indicated by the annunciators under
the display. The motion annunciator
will be lit while the indicator detects
motion.
3. If you are running a test where
First Peak and Peak readings are
important to you, you can see
those values by pressing the
SELECT key. The value on the
display will correspond to the
annunciated item on the left side
of the display panel. See the First
Peak definition at left.
4. After you have seen the peak
values, you can reset them by
removing the force from the loadcell and pressing the PEAK
RESET key.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the other
force measurements you want to
make.

you are finished, press the ENTER
key. . . The new number will become the
active ID number.
F3 Key
Cutoff Register
A cutoff register is a force value you
enter into memory (register) which
the indicator uses to control outputs.
There are 10 cutoff registers in the
FI-127. You can set ten different
force values which the indicator will
use to trigger outputs.
When activated (force on the
loadcell is less than the force in the
cutoff registers), these cutoffs are all
on at the same time. Each cutoff will
deactivate as soon as the force on
the loadcell matches the value in
each cutoff register.
When the force is equal to or
greater than positive register values,
or more negative than negative
register values, the corresponding
output is disabled.
When the force is less than the
positive register values, or less
negative than negative register
values, the corresponding output is
enabled.
The F3 key is used to view and change cutoff registers. You can view cutoff
registers by two methods:
Method A:
1. Press the F3 key. . . 1 xx is displayed. The number 1
stands for cutoff register #1 and xx is
the current value in register 1.
2. Continue pressing F3 or MENU
to scroll forward or
backward through the remaining
cutoff registers.
Method B:
1. If you know which cutoff register
you wish to view, press the
number of that register, then press
F3. That particular cutoff register is
displayed.
To change a cutoff value, display the register you want to change then:
1. Key in a new value with the
numeric keypad. Use the +/- key to
change the sign of the value.
Press the ENTER key to accept
the new value and return to
Display mode
or
press the F3 key to accept the new
value and move to the next register.

before pressing and holding the
ESCAPE key if you want to
change items in the service menu,
otherwise you will only be able to
view them.
You use the service menu to see information about your indicator, to test its
various functions and to configure how you want the system to work. Figures 4
through 19 show the service menu structure in the FI-127. Following each figure
are explanations for each of the service menu items. Use the same methods to get
