GRAPHIC DISPLAY
The GI430 terminal has a graphic display.
PASSWORD
All programming functions protected via password.
CODE ARCHIVE MANAGEMENT
You may manage an archive of up to 2000 entries.
These archives are used to manage 4 types of code (500 configurable records per code)
For example, Company, Material, Transport, Destination. In addition, it is possible to program a specific name for each code, configurable
within the database menu.
REGISTRY MANAGEMENT
The equipment also has a archive of 500 configurable records for registrations, with editable names.
Size
Weight
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
You may store up to 4500 weights; the number of records is calculated as this quantity, minus the registry numbers used in the codes of
the separate files.
When the maximum number of registry numbers are assigned to each code, the available storage is 2000 weights.
MANAGEMENT OF STORED TARES
You may manage up to 500 tares. (This is configurable)
Page 7
MANAGEMENT OF LORRIES IN TRANSIT
You may manage up to 200 lorries in transit.
TYPES OF WEIGHTS
It is possible to execute one of the following types of weights:
▪ input weight
▪ output weight
▪ weight with stored tare (single weighing)
PRINTERS
The peripherals supported for printing are the following:
▪ thermal printer, 24 type columns plus2B (COM1 o COM2)
▪ (Internal printers should always be connected to COM1)
▪ continuous tape printer, 80 type columns LX350 (COM1 o COM2)
▪ 40-column type ticket printer ESC/POS/TM295 (COM1 o COM2)
▪ Thermal printer BTPR990 (COM 1 O COM 2)

All peripherals can be enabled or disabled for the various prints via the settings menu. The prints available are as follows:
▪ Input printing
▪ Output printing
▪ Printing with manual tare
▪ Print CODES file
▪ Print REGISTRATIONS file
▪ Print file of all weights taken
▪ General printing
▪ Print lorries in transit
STANDARD PERSONAL COMPUTER KEYBOARD
To configure the terminal, you can connect a standard USB computer keyboard.
This is very useful when it is necessary to enter alphanumeric characters into the configuration (ticket headers, clients names...)
MAXIDISPLAY RP100 MANAGEMENT
▪ Connection via RS-232, RS-485 or Ethernet
▪ Transmission of net weight
TICKET FORMAT
You may select the printing fields associated with first-weight, second-weight and single-weight tickets.
I/O ADDRESS
Allows you to manage an indicator light placed at the scale opening (OUT1) to indicate that the scale is occupied and therefore not
available for weighing operations.
It also allows you to manage an indicator light at the scale exit (OUT2) to indicate the end of the weighing / scale output process.
If the i-button is being used, the indicator will show the correct reading (OUT3), and in the event of any error (data not present, or a
weight error) the emergency indicator (OUT4) will activate.

GI430 | EN | USER MANUAL
DSD MEMORY
It is possible to implement the lorry-weighing operation with the additional panel that performs the FISCAL MEMORY function. This
involves archiving all the weight values transmitted to a computer via the COM serial channel or ETHERNET, for further processing or
integration via PC. (As a control with regard to the data printed by the PC).
Each archived weight is associated with a two-digit ID code. The stored value can be viewed on the screen of the indicator by entering the
ID, or by entering a command on the PC.
The ID has the following format: <Unique code number>-<Weight number>
Unique code number: a 5-digit number ranging from 0 to 99999, which increases for each 400,000 weights memorised.
Weight number: a 6-digit number ranging from 0 to 399999, which increases for each weight memorised.
Entering the command “PID” on a PC will cause the weight ID, gross weight and tare weight to be recorded and accurately identified
during weighing, as long as the platform is stable and the gross weight is non-negative and greater than the minimum weight.
1.3 KEYBOARD AND FUNCTIONS
The keyboard, located on the front of the device, is of the membrane type and has 24 keys.

The indicator consists of a graphic display which you can see in figure
Figure.1 Display status
Figure 2 the top right shows the date and time
Figura 3
The upper section states the maximum capacity value of the scale, the minimum capacity value of the scale, the number corresponding to E, and the weighing range (w).
The same area will also display and indicate instances of MANUAL TARE o MEMORIZED TARE: MAN
The stability and zero icons will then be activated once the weight of the scale is stable, and will indicate the weight at the same
time when the scale returns to the value 0, without any weight.
Just below and occupying the full width is the main weighing indicator, which shows the weight of the scale.
The following shows the area of the records on the database. During
weighing, this section is used for entering data (registration, company,
product, etc ...)
Lastly, the icons that assign functionality to the context keys will
appear.

1.5.1 INDICATOR ACTIVATION
The indicator lights up using the button on the front panel of the computer keyboard once you are connected to the electricity
network. Before using the equipment, it is best to let it stabilise for a while. This is especially important when performing a
calibration. In this case it is advisable to wait for about 30 minutes. In order to avoid warm-up times and possible condensation in
the event of significant external temperature changes, the equipment can be left permanently connected.
1.5.2 WEIGHT DISPLAY
Upon loading the platform, the weight of the scales will be indicated on the graphic display
1.5.3 ZERO ( , F10)
The indicator has a manual reset. If the key is pressed, the indicator will capture the current weight value as system zero, as long
as the current value displayed is within the supported range.

4.4 DIAGNOSTICS
Menu for carrying out the operating test of the various CPU modules:
4.4.1 mV. CELL
You can produce and see on the screen the mV that correspond to the platform weight.
NOTE: The maximum input voltage that the instrument accepts is 10 mV; the weighing system is fed a 5 Vdc current by the indicator. For
proper operation, this value must be less than 10,00000, with a weight corresponding to the maximum capacity of the balance
4.4.2 I. COUNTS
The second line of the screen shown by accessing the DIAGNOSTICS menu is the one that shows the platform points.
4.5 ADDITIONAL
The GI430 allows the use of additional modules, for connection to external
systems. Currently there are 2 types of modules:
1. Digital Input/Output Module: 4 inputs, 4 outputs (relay).
2. DSD module. Fiscal memory
The connection between the modules and the computer is performed
internally.
The configuration of modules is done in the SETUP menu > Additional.

The possible options are: NO – YES
Once programming is complete, save changes by pressing the
key or INSERT on the computer keyboard
4.5.2 DATA STORAGE DEVICE
It is possible to increase the functioning of the weight indicator with the additional board which carries out the FISCAL MEMORY function; this consists of
archiving all the relayed weight values to a computer for subsequent processing or integration of the data transmitted via the COM series channel.
Each archived value is associated with an ID code. The memorised value can
be consulted on the indicator’s display using the ID in this menu (as a control
with respect to the data printed by the PC).
The fiscal memory can store a maximum of 400,000 weights, after which it
rewrites the number 0 over the weight.
The scale number, gross weight, tare weight and an ID that identifies the
unambiguous weighing manner are sent with the PID series command or using
the key, only in the case that the platform is stable and the gross weight is not
negative.
The ID has the following format:
<Unique code number>, <weight number>
Unique code number. 5-digit number from 0 to 99999, increased by 1 every
400,000 registered weight numbers.
The fiscal memory can store a maximum of 400,000 weights, after which the
weight number begins again at 00000 y and the number will be increased by 1.
The weight relative to an ID can be verified only if it has a unique code number
equal to that currently in the fiscal memory and a weight number less than or
equal to the last value received with the PID sequence.

If the machine has an ALIBI / DSD memory the printing formats add the weight identifier.
