MAIN FUNCTIONS

The calibration is done only by the pushbuttons at the front side of the indicator. The calibration is protected by jumper J3 (write protect) at the top on the right side of the main PCB. To enable to calibration place this jumper at the pins. See jumper settings.

THE PUSHBUTTONS

The indicator has 7 pushbuttons. The most important ones are red coloured and can be found at the

MAIN FUNCTIONS

corners of the housing. During calibration the functions are:

ON/OFF (ESC) : to switch the indicator on and off, back to the previous step(s). ZERO (arrow up) : to increase a value and to go upwards through the menu items. PRINT (arrow down) : to decrease a value and to go downwards through the menu items. TARE (Enter) : to enter a setting.

F1 : function button to find the lowest value. DM/SD : to enter the menu and to select the blinking digit. F2 : no function.

OPERATION

• Connect the supply to the indicator. When a 230 VAC-supply is used, connect the adaptor.

• Press the ON/OFF button, the display lights up.

• Push the ZERO button when the reading is not zero, the reading becomes “0” and the “ZERO”

indication left in the display lights up. The scale is now ready to use.

SET-UP

• To reach the set-up push and hold the DM button for 5 seconds. The display counts down

from 5 till 0.

• During count down push the TARE and PRINT button simultaneously.

The display shows the software version followed by “SEt”, the first item of the main menu.

The main menu consists of: Set : the parameters for scaling the indicator CALibr : the parameters for the weight calibration USEr : the parameters for the display - and button settings oPtion : the parameters for the RS232 output rtC : the parameters for the optional real time clock

REMARKS

• With the arrow buttons it is possible to select the menu items, the parameters in the menu items

and the values of the parameters.

• To enter one of the above mentioned settings, the TARE (Enter) button must be used.

• When a value must be giving in the least significant digit on the right is blinking. The blinking digit

can be changed with the arrow buttons. With the DM/SD button the foregoing digit is going to blink.

• When a setting is entered which is not wanted, the ON/OFF (ESC) button must be used. One step

back by pushing once, two steps back by pushing twice and back to weighing by pushing three times.

• When the jumper J3 is not placed only the rtC parameters can be reached.

• The STI-7 indicator has the possibility to have a multirange readability. The steps are 1, 2 and 5

and the point where the display switches, can be programmed under the item CAL.

EXAMPLE WEIGHT CALIBRATION

For this example the next values are used:

• 4 loadcells 1000 kg each, 3mV/V.

• scale capacity 2000 kg.

• readability multirange per 0,1 kg till 300 kg, per 0,2 kg from 300 till 1000 kg and above 1000 kg per

0,5 kg.

• Calibration at 0 kg and at 1500 kg with calibration weights.

Set the ZERO jumper J2 on the main PCB. When there is no big preload on the loadcell(s) set the zero setting OFF (pin 1 + 2). See appendix 2. Set the GAIN jumper J1 on the main PCB. For most application 2 mV/V is the best sensitivity setting. See also appendix 2.

Go to the weight calibration menu, see chapter 2.2 and enter the Cal 2P calibration.

• The display shows “SCALEO” (display reading at first calibration point).
