DISPLAY
The M351 displays alpha-numeric data, but due to the nature of 7-segment LEDs and the limitation of six digits, some information is abbreviated.
All segments and annunciators are illuminated for a brief display test upon power up. The current gross weight is then displayed in default units.
LED DISPLAY
The LED display is a six digit, 7-segment bright red LED screen with 9 annunciators to show weight and status information. The – (Low Limit) = Yellow, + (High Limit) = Red and OK (Within tolerance) = Green. Also there are annunciators for 5 units of measure.
Figure 1: Model 351 LED Display
ANNUNCIATORS
Annunciators provide mode and status information. When illuminated, they indicate the following conditions:
- (Yellow) Current weight is under the low limit tolerance. OK (Green) Current weight is within tolerance.
+ (Red) Current weight is over the high limit tolerance.
ÚÚ 0ÙÙ Displayed weight is at center-of-zero (± ¼ display
graduation).
~ Scale is in motion. Motion inhibited transmits will be delayed
until motion ceases.
lb The displayed value is represented in pounds. oz The displayed value is represented in ounces
3
kg The displayed value is represented in kilograms g The displayed value is represented in grams
lb oz When both the lb and oz annunicators are lit the displayed
value is represented in lb oz.
KEYPAD
Three rigid IP67 sealed buttons are used for operator input. Each key is assigned two distinct functions. Various key combinations are also used. Each key has secondary functions, allowing an operator to enter target values, perform piece samples, access setup parameters, etc.
Figure 2: 351 Function Keys
WEIGH MODE FUNCTIONS
The Model 351 Checkweigher has 3 primary Weigh Mode functions:
[ZERO] Performs a gross zero and selects the gross mode. [PRINT] Initiates data transmission out the communication port. [UNITS] Toggles the units of measure between ‘lb’, ‘kg’, ‘oz’, ‘lb’
‘oz’ and ‘grams’.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
This chapter contains information necessary for proper installation of the Model 351 Checkweigher. Please review these instructions before installing your scale.
High voltages may exist within the enclosure. To prevent the risk of electrical shock, ALWAYS unplug the Model 351 when opening the enclosure. Installation and servicing of the Model 351 should be performed only by authorized and qualified service personnel.
For information on installing options, see Chapter 7: Model 351 Options. For NTEP and OIML details, see Chapter 6: Legal For Trade
!!
IMPORTANT! The Model 351 does not include an on/off switch and therefore must be installed near a power outlet socket that is easily accessible and in keeping with UL/CSA Safety Standards.
INFORMATION IMPORTANT! Prendre note que les contrôleurs de serie 351 ne sont pas munis d'interrupteurs "Marche / Arrêt". Par conséquent, il devront être installés près d'une source d'alimentation secteur accessible pour demeurer sous les exigences des normes de sécurité UL/CSA.
BENCHTOP MOUNTING
The Model 351 enclosure and column meet NEMA 4X type specifications. When choosing a mounting location, make sure the unit is level (a level bubble is located under the platform shroud) and free from obstructions.

WIRING
POWER CONNECTION
There are two ways to power the Model 351, with a 90-250 Volt line cord (U.S. Style standard) or with a 12-36 VDC external source.
i
The Model 351 does not include an on/off switch. In keeping with UL/CSA Safety Standards it must be installed near an easily accessible power outlet.
DC POWER CONNECTION
Wire the DC supply to the J3 connector on the Model 351 main board. Do not connect pins 3 or 4. The mating connector can be purchased from a local electronics supplier. Recommended connectors are GSE PN: 26-20-3365 (24 AWG) or GSE PN: 26-20-3366 (22 AWG) / AMP PN: 640441-3 (24 AWG) or AMP PN: 640440-3 (22 AWG). Connector cover GSE PN: 26-20-3389 or AMP PN: 643075-3.
!!
CAUTION: Do not apply AC power through the line cord when a DC source is attached. When AC is supplied, the voltage at J3 is 24 VDC. This voltage can damage batteries attached to J3 unless a protection diode is used to prevent backfeeding.
SERIAL PORT CONNECTION
Before connecting to the serial port, consideration should be given to the communication protocol and to any remote key requirements. For information on remote key operation, refer to Remote Key Operation on page
11. Use Table 2 to determine proper wiring to the communication port.
Figure 6: DC Power Connector
Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Range
DC + - Do not use Do not use 12 - 36 VDC
Model 351 Checkweigher
10
Communication connections are made with a pigtailed cable through a strain relief. The cable should be 20 to 28 AWG with a braided or foil shield for either model type. The maximum recommended cable length is 50 feet (15 meters). However, much longer connections are possible if using a properly shielded, low-capacitance cable.

Chapter 2: Installation
11
A communication cable (P/N: 22-30-29752) may be purchased from GSE
REMOTE KEY CONNECTION
A remote key may be connected to the Model 351 communication port to provide remote activation of print or zero functions.
The connection for the remote key input is between pin 1 and pin 2. A two­conductor shielded cable between 28 and 20 AWG is recommended. The input requires a contact closure from a push-button switch, a ‘dry’ relay contact, a photo-eye, and a proximity sensor or other such device. A closure initiates the operation specified at P800.
!!
Do not apply an external voltage to remote key terminals! Only a contact closure is required to activate the remote key input.
The open circuit voltage across the remote key pins is +5 VDC. A closed switch will conduct about 0.25 mA. Therefore, a low-voltage switch with gold-plated contacts is recommended. A Mercury-wetted switch will also work well. A minimum contact duration of 100 ms is required. Once invoked, the selected remote key operation will not repeat until the contact is released and closed again.

LOAD CELL CONNECTION
The Model 351 will come equipped with either an aluminum or stainless steel load cell. The load cells used have 7 wires.
+ EX - EX + SIG - SIG + SENSE - SENSE SHIELD Green Black White Red Orange Blue Wire
When replacing a load cell or main board, be sure to use the proper connections. The load cell is connected to J8 on the main board. Make sure the sense jumpers E3 and E4 are set to external (EXT).

CHAPTER 3: GETTING STARTED
DEFAULT S ETUP
If a factory default is performed at parameter 65001, the target values and tolerances will have default values. Below is the default values and checkeweighing method. These are also set when the unit is delivered from the factory.
Checkweighing Method - Checb TARGET LO TOLERANCE HI TOLERANCE
5.00 1.00 1.00
OPERATION
The Model 351 Checkweigher offers easy of operation. Entering target and tolerance values is simply done by pressing [PRINT] + [UNITS]. Below is a table with the different checkweighing methods available. The operation of the Model 351 depends on the method chosen. Refer to Table 3 for examples of the available methods.
Table 3: Checkweighing Methods
Choice Description
Checb
The target is varied by the Hi/Lo limits
Example: Target = 20, Hi limit = .8, Lo Limit= .5 20 + .8 = 20.8 and 20 - .5 = 19.5 Accept Window = 19.5 to 20.8
ChecP
Hi/lo limits are used as a percentage deviation.
Example: Target = 20, Hi Limit = 5, Lo Limit = 5 20 + 5% = 21 and 20 – 5% = 19 Accept Window = 19 to 21
ChecA
The values are absolute, Target is not used.
Example: TargH = 21.3, TargL = 19.8 Accept Window = 19.8 to 21.3
