SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION

The FB6001/2 Instrument is a Basic, Inbound, Outbound, and GTN instrument. The
instrument may be enhanced by adding either a 4-20mA or Relay module to the unit.

– Only one (1) module may be added to provide either a 4-20mA output or a

Relay module interface to control traffic lights.

The FB6001/2 Instrument is designed for a wide variety of truck, floor, hopper, and
tank scale applications.

• The load cells interface with the Instrument through the Analog Interface Card.

•

An RS-232 interface allows for the transfer of data from the Instrument to a
computer and vice versa.

•

The two FB6000 Series instrument models are the

Desktop (FB6001)

and the

NEMA 4X Wall Mount (FB6002).

1.1.1. Standard Features

• 1.8” LED alphanumeric display • Three (3) RS232 serial ports

• One (1) Ethernet Port • Capable of formatting tickets

• Three (3) USB Ports • Keypad Buttons, including the following:

• Choice of either One (1) 20mA port or

one (1) Analog Relay Board.

• 0-9 keys, Enter, Red (stop), Green (go), Tare, In,

Out, Units, B/G/Net, Zero and Print.

NOTE:

The Remote Switches and the 20mA share a ground wire.

– This means that remote switches, if used simultaneously with a remote display,

must NOT be grounded. Otherwise they risk creating a ground loop thorough
the instrument’s main circuit board.

– Connect Switch Legs to non-grounded-bonded dry contact only. If the display is

fully isolated (non-bonded), this is not an issue
