•

Do not reinstall the cover if the final installation is to be performed after the preinstallation checkout.

3.1.3. Finding the Best Location

Position the equipment with these points in mind:

•

Intense direct sunlight can harm the display.

•

Do not locate near magnetic material or equipment/Instruments which use magnets in their design.

•

Avoid areas which have extreme variations in room temperatures. Temperatures outside the Instrument’s specifications will affect the weighing accuracy of this product.

•

Do not open the Instrument if there is any evidence of damage to it or any other scale component or supporting structure.

•

When selecting the right location for the Instrument and the scale, keep the components completely away from all high water, such as low-lying areas that may flood, and away from any drain pipes.

Introduction

The 4-20mA analog output is passive, so therefore it requires the receiving element to supply the loop with a dedicated, isolated power source from 7-40V DC. The output is linear throughout the range from 4mA to 20mA, and can be programmed to increase (upweigh) or decrease (downweigh) as weight is increased.

5.4.6. Remote display

The NexWeigh can be connected to a 1600 Series remote display using Port 1.

The NexWeigh should be programmed for Port 1 Output dis, 2400 baud, 7 data bits, 1 stop bits, and nobusy.

5 Gnd 2 Gnd

Note:

RS232 communications are limited to a length of 50 cable feet.

5.4.7. Computer output

The NexWeigh can be connected to a variety of computer systems utilizing the continuous or polled outputs. Connections to computers are done using the wiring chart provided earlier in this section. Ensure that all protocol (baud rate, parity, etc) matches at both devices connected.

Up to 6 data items are available for transmission; Gross, Tare, Net, Time, Date, and ID in that order. Each item is separated by a carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF). All items enabled in the setup menu will be sent. If the instrument is in Gross mode, only gross weight will be sent. If the instrument is in Net mode, gross, tare and net will be sent if GTN is selected in config menu, or net only if NET is selected.

The table below shows a typical wiring diagram to a computer equipped with a db9 connector.

5.5. CONFIGURING THE ETHERNET INTERFACE

The NexWeigh Ethernet Interface utilizes serial output, converting it to Ethernet output in order to communicate over an Network.

5.5.1. Obtaining the Fixed IP Address

To use the Ethernet Device Server, it is necessary to input the Fixed IP Address. Ask the customer’s Network Administrator for this information.

The IP Address must be within a valid range, unique to the Network, and in the same subnet as the operator’s PC. List it in the format as prescribed below.

Examples:

IP Address: ___ ___ ___ ___ 192.168.1.2.

Subnet Mask: ___ ___ ___ ___ 255.255.255.0

Follow these steps to configure the Check weigh Mode Operation.

1. With the scale empty, press

2. Press the appropriate recipe button to enable the Checkweigh mode and that

recipe. If recipe is enabled, the instrument above that button will illuminate.

3. Place object to be weighed on platform. The appropriate LED’s in the

bargraph will illuminate to show the weight of the object relative to its target acceptance range. If no green LED’s are lit up, the object is under the target weight. If some of the green LED’s are lit, the object is within the acceptance range. If one or more red LED’s light up, the object is above the acceptance range.

4. When finished Checkweighing, simply press the recipe button that was

enabled to exit Checkweigh mode, or press a different recipe button to use a different programmed recipe.

7.1. EXPANDED DISPLAY MODE.

The NexWeigh can be placed in expanded resolution mode to assist in troubleshooting and maintenance. Simply press S2 on the main PCB and the display instrument will immediately display the weight in 10X resolution. For example if the division size is programmed at 1lb, pressing S2 will display the weight in 0.1lb divisions.

7.2. SCALE MAINTENANCE

7.2.1. Cleaning the Scale and Instrument

Use a moist cotton cloth to clean the scale.

─ If spray cleaner is needed for shoe sole marks, squirt

it into the cloth, and not directly onto the scale.

─ Use only tap water in the cloth to wipe off the

instrument’s clear plastic display.

Following these steps to fully clean and sanitize the scale and work area.

3. Sweep and pick up all trash, placing it in proper containers for disposal.

4. Cover all electrical outlets and other non-waterproof items with plastic tarps.

5. Cover the Scale Enclosure Weldment with waterproof material.

6. Protect all exposed product and/or packaging materials with plastic tarps and package wraps.

─ Remove these from the area to be cleaned, whenever

possible and appropriate.

8. Rinse all surfaces and scale platform.

─ Move the hose stream from side-to-side, starting at the top and working to the

bottom.

9. Remove the Platform Lift and set it aside.

10. Unscrew all the Rubber Stops.

11. Hand-scrub the Scale Pillar, Bottom, Platform Lift, and Stops with HC-10 Solution, and then rinse the parts completely.

12. Carefully tip the scale back or lay it on its side.

─ Always ask for help in doing this, if needed.

13. Pre-rinse, and then hand brush the scale with HC-10 Detergent Solution.

14. Hand Brush the bottom of the unit, cleaning it with HC-10 Detergent Solution, rinsing thoroughly.

15. Inspect all the scale parts completely, correcting any discrepancies found.

─ List any damaged replacement parts to be ordered, as needed.

16. Re-assemble all the cleaned and rinsed scale parts, replacing the scale back into its proper position.

17. Prepare the entire area for production use, then inspect it as an “outside observer” for cleanliness and correct placement of all the operation elements.

18. Notify the supervisor for an inspection of the completed work.

─ Report to him or her of any needed replacement parts.
