The Model 370 and Model 375 come standard with a six digit, 7-segment bright green LED
display. The Model 370 and Model 375 will display alphanumeric data, but due to the nature of 7segment LED and the limitation of six digits, some information is abbreviated.
The display also has 11 annunciators to show weight and status information. The SP1, SP2, and
SP3 annunciators are red, green, and yellow. Also there is an annunciator for a third unit under
kg. Place the third unit label above the third Annunciator (refer to Figure 1-6). See page 24 for
third unit setup.
All segments and annunciators are illuminated for a brief display test upon power up. The current
gross weight is then displayed in default units.

COMMUNICATION PORT 1
Comm1 is standard with the Model 370/375. Connector pin outs for Comm 1 (DB9) are provided
in Table 1-3 below.
It is possible to connect a Model 370/375 to another 300 Series or 60 Series indicator and ha ve
the remote indicator display a copy of the master indicator or customize the display of the remote
(slave) indicator. The remote (slave) indicator’s keypad will operate the master indicator. Refer to
page 55 to configure the master and remote (slave) displays. There are several different
configurations for Master to remote (slave) indicator connection and setup. Refer to Table 1-3 for
comm port connections.
Supply Voltage Jumper (E6)
This allows for a choice in scanner power supply pins and to minimize modifications to a cable or
connector.
Comm port 1 has two pins on the DB 9 connector which provide + 5 volts to supply power to a
scanner. The jumpers located on E6 of the main board will reroute the power (+ 5 volt) to either
pin 9 or pin 4 depending on jumper orientation.
Pin 9 (Default) Pin 4
The power (+ 5 volt) and remote key pins are switched. Refer to Figure 1-8 for the jumper
location on the main board. Refer to the Barcode Scanner manual for the power pin location.

Chapter 2: O
This chapter will provide detailed instructions on installing each option. Additional hardware may
be needed for the Model 370/375 depending on which options you will be installing.
Also this chapter provides instructions on how to configure all Model 370 / 375 options. This
includes setup mode parameters, connections, calibration and testing.
PTION INSTALLATION
CCoommmmuunniiccaattiioonn
RS-485 NETWORKING
The module converts the standard RS-232 communication on comm port 1 to RS-485. However
the advantage of using the RS-485 module, aside from the ability to transmit over long distances,
is the ability to network multiple indicators or parts counters using the same communication wires.
When networking indicators or parts counter, it is necessary to set up a network address for each
scale. The network module itself does not require addressing, rather each indicator or pa rts
counter must be enabled for network addressing in the setup mode. Refer to page 26 for details
on the RS-485 enable parameter (P250) and the network address parameter (P251).
Installation Instructions
1. DISCONNECT POWER! UNPLUG THE MODEL 370/375 TO INSURE DAMAGE WILL NOT
OCCUR DURING OPTION INSTALLATION.
2. Remove the six 8 mm screws (size) from the bottom plate. Separate the top enclosure from
the bottom plate.
3. Remove the IC chip and white jumper from the U4 socket on the main board.
4. Snap in the plastic spacers into the three mounting holes surrounding the U4 socket. Refer
to Figure 2-1.
5. Gently press the option board into the socket and make sure the board snaps onto the
standoffs.
6. Reinstall the enclosure bottom plate.
Figure 2-1: RS-485 / 20 mA Option Installation
RS-485 Connections (Comm Port 1)
The Model 370/375 will be connected to a peripheral via the DB 9 connector on comm port 1.
Refer to Table 2-1 for wiring connections.
Installing jumpers 1, 2 and 4 on the RS-485 option board electrically connects pin RX B(+) to pin
TX B(+), and pin RX A(-) to pin TX A(-) on the option board. This effectively provides two + and
two - pin connections, enabling easy connection of network lines in parallel from device to d evice
without having to position two wires into the same lever socket. A B(+) line from each device on
the network should be connected in parallel to the next device on the network. This is also true for
all A(-) lines.
The units inside the two end-points of the network loop will utilize both A(-) pin connections and
both B(+) pin connections. The units at the end-points of the network will utilize only one A(-) pin
connection and one B (+) pin connection.
Full Duplex (4-wire)
Removing jumpers 1, 2 and 4 on the RS-485 option board requires that the transmit and receive
lines be wired independently of one another. The RX B(+) and RX A(-) receive lines must be
wired in parallel to the next device's RX B(+) and RX A(-) receive lines and the TX B(+) and TX A
(-) transmit lines must be wired in parallel to the next device's TX B(+) and TX A(-) transmit lines.
8
Page 15
In order to connect network lines in parallel from device to device it is necessary to position two
wires into the same lever socket. This requires that the wire used to build the network be 24 AWG
or smaller to allow both wires to fit into the same lever socket.
Both Half Duplex and Full Duplex
The network boards on both end-points should install jumper 3 on the RS-485 option board to
engage the 120 W termination resistor (R8). The boards between the two en d-points should
remove jumper 3 on the RS-485 option board.
The isolated ground (ISO GND) should be connected in parallel from unit to unit. A shielded
twisted two pair cable is recommended throughout the network.
20 MA CURRENT LOOP OPTION
This option will convert the comm port 1 to a 20 mA current loop instead of an RS-232. This is a
digital communication signal and should not be confused with a 4 to 20-mA (or 0-20 mA), which
are analog output signals. The intended use is primarily printers and scoreboard displays.
This option will mount into the socket for the comm port RS-232 chip on the main board. This
option will exclude the use of the RS-485 option board. (I.e. only the RS-485 OR the 20 mA
option can be installed into a Model 370/375).
Installation Instructions
1. DISCONNECT POWER! UNPLUG THE MODEL 370/375 TO INSURE DAMAGE WILL
NOT OCCUR DURING OPTION INSTALLATION.
2. Remove the six 8 mm screws (size) from the bottom plate. Separate the top enclosure
from the bottom plate.

Page 16
3. Remove U4 and the white jumper from the socket of the main board.
4. Snap in the plastic spacers into the three mounting holes surrounding the U4 socket.
Refer to Figure 2-1.
5. Gently press the option board into the socket and make sure the board snaps onto the
standoffs.
6. Reinstall the enclosure bottom plate.
BI-Directional
Both the transmit output and the receive input of the Model 370/375 are available as 20 mA
signals. None of the handshake signals are supported for the 20-mA current loop operation.
Baud
Only baud rates of 9600 baud and less are supported.
Active/Passive
The Tx output may be used as an active or passive output from the Model 370/375. Either active
or passive is chosen depending upon which terminals are used for the connections. In active
mode the Model 370/375 supplies the current. In passive mode, the external device supplies the
current. The Rx input is available in passive mode only.
Isolation
The input and output are electrically isolated from the main board as well as earth ground and
each other, for both passive and active modes of operation. Isolation is a minimum of 1000v.
Max Voltage
Active mode Tx current loop provides a driving voltage of 12v. This will allow 20 mA current flow
with up to a 600 ohm load. Passive mode will work with an external driving voltage of up to 50v.
Connections
The field connections to the 20 mA circuitry will be made at the 9 pin 'D' connector on the rear of
the Model 370/375.

Page 17
Connected Devices
While 20 mA current loops can allow for more than one transmitter and/or receiver, the Model
370/375 and/or option board do not include any address recognition or collision avoidance and/or
detection to promote this usage. If the 20-mA loop is intended to be used in this manner, proper
planning for these issues is required.

PARAMETER MAP DETAILS
P110 Full Scale Value (Key in)
Denotes the full-scale capacity. This value should not exceed the rated capacity of the weighing
device.
P111 Division Size (Selection)
Indicates the count-by and decimal point. Pressing [ZERO] + [TARE] (Model 370) or [CLR]
(Model 375) will automatically select the choice closest to 30,000 divisions without exceeding
30,000 divisions.
P112 Zero Track Aperture (Selection)
Set in terms of number of divisions. Zero tracking eliminates small weight deviations at or near
zero. Weight deviations within the selected window that have been stable for more than one
second are tracked off, maintaining a gross or net zero condition.
The sum of weight values zeroed with auto zero tracking and [ZERO] cannot exceed the
allowable zero range (P118).
To determine the proper setting in a counting application, divide the weight of the smallest
product counted by the division size (P111). Zero track should be set to 0 (off) for most setpoint
filling operations. This prevents tracking off any product trickle at the start of a fill process.
P114 Stability (Selection)
Stability is defined as weight fluctuations within an aperture that can be regarded as being a
stable weight. Deviations outside this aperture are considered motion, and the motion
annunciator on the front panel will light accordingly. Once the scale settles within the stability
aperture, the Model 370/375 will wait for a period of time specified by the motion delay (P115)
before the Model 370/375 is considered stable.
Print operations configured as motion delayed (P114) will not send the specified data until the
weight reflects a stable reading as designated by this setting. Certain setpoint operations are also
considered motion delayed and will not change states until a no-motion condition exists.
P115 Stability Delay (Selection)
Selects the stability (motion) time delay to a resolution of 0.1 seconds. For example, an entry of
25 will be accepted as 2.5 seconds.
P116 Filter (Selection)
Sets the Model 370/375 response time in terms of seconds. Filtering determines how quickly the
Model 370/375 will respond to changing input signals. A low filter setting speeds the response, a
higher filter setting will 'dampen' the response.
Filtering is used to filter out weight fluctuations caused by outside sources, such as vibrations or
air currents.
P117 Rate (Selection)
Specifies how often the display is updated with new data and the rate of continuous transmits (if
P210 or P230 are enabled). For example, if 0.05 is selected, the Model 370/375 will write data to
the display and send continuous transmits 20 times a second. Selections from 0.05 to 20.0
seconds are available. The actual rate may be less than (P117). The actual rate depends on the
Model 370/375 speed (P60090), the size and number of transmits (P1000, P2000, P210, and
P230), and COM ports' speed (if echo (P290) is enabled or continuous transmits are enabled).
P118 Zero Range (Selection)
Specifies how many divisions can be zeroed in terms of a percentage of full scale (P110). The
sum of weight values zeroed through the [ZERO] key and auto zero tracking cannot exceed this
range.
23
Page 30
A zero range of 5% is commonly used with large tank scales to avoid accidental zeroing of a full
or partially full tank.
P119 Multi-Point Linearization (Toggle)
Enable the five-point linearization feature used during load cell calibration.
P150 Units (Toggle)
Set default units to 'lb', 'kg' or ‘other’ (third unit). The Model 370/375 must use the default units
during calibration procedures (see Chapter 4:). The default units are the displayed units upon
power-up. If ‘other’ is chosen, P152 must be set to one of the available unit selections.
P151 Units Button (Toggle)
When enabled, this parameter will allow [UNITS] to toggle between 'lb', 'kg' (1000g) or third unit.
When disabled, the Model 370/375 will show only the calibration units as determined by P150.
P152 Third Unit (Selection)
This parameter will allow the choice of three additional units (ounces, grams or lb oz) that may be
accessed with the [UNITS] key. Only one unit will be available at a time. The third unit can only
be selected if P151 is enabled. The third unit will be identified by an annunciator on the display
below the ‘kg’ annunciator.
P161 Tare Save (Toggle)
Enabling Tare Save allows the Model 370/375 to retain the tare value in the event of power loss.
The correct net weight is restored upon power-up.
P166 Auto Tare (Toggle)
When enabled, pressing [TARE] will wait for a no-motion condition and then bring the scale to a
net zero reading. Disabling will prevent keypad tare operations.
P167 Keyboard Tare (Toggle)
If P167 is disabled, then the user cannot view tare using the select key. Also, it will block numeric
tare (manually entering tare) and show the message; "Funct" "disbl". The only way you can tare
is using the automatic tare (press [TARE] to tare the weight on the scale). When P167 is on, the
user can view tare using the select key (tare will follow Net). The unit will accept numeric tare. On
the Model 375, a known tare amount may be keyed in with the numeric keypad. On the Model
370, a known tare amount may be keyed in with the [PRINT] and [UNITS] keys.
P169 Auto Tare Clear (Toggle)
Enabling this feature will cause the current tare value to be cleared to zero every time the Model
370/375 stabilizes within ±5 graduations of gross zero
P171 Analog (Toggle)
Enable or disable the optional analog output module. See Analog Output Setup on page 35 for all
parameters associated with the Analog Output Module.
P179 Count (Toggle)
When enabled, the quantity mode becomes accessible via the [SAMPLE/Enter] or [SELECT]
key. The quantity mode is identified by the illumination of the QTY annunciator.
P200 Baud (Comm 1) (Selection)

CUSTOM TRANSMIT
The serial output of the Model 370/375 can be configured for a custom application such as a
remote display format, a customized computer program format, or a customized ticket format.
The custom transmit must be designed in a computer-transmittable ASCII text file. The custom
transmit can only be loaded into the Model 370/375 through the serial port. P213 or P233 must be
set to 0 to select the custom transmit format for transmission.
Elements Of A Custom Transmit
Parameters, ASCII text, and control codes are the elements of a custom transmit.
Parameters
Certain parameters related to weight, quantity, setpoints and status can be sent out of the comm
port. Gross Weight, Target 1 and Quantity are examples of printable parameters.
ASCII Text
ASCII text can be entered into a custom transmit to provide further detail of a transaction. "P",
"@" and "+" are examples of ASCII text.
Control Codes
You can custom transmit ASCII control codes to control a printing device. <CR> (carriage return)
and <FF> (form feed) are examples of control codes. When entering a control code in a custom
transmit table, use three digits preceded by a decimal point. Example: Start of Text <STX> = 2.
Key in .002.
Writing A Custom Transmit ASCII Text File
Any text editor may be used to construct a custom transmit (Notepad, Wordpad, etc.), but you
must save the custom transmit as a text (.txt) file. Instructions can also be sent keystroke by
keystroke from a communications program. To do so, ignore the Model 370/375 display and enter
the characters in the correct order. Figure 3-1 shows a custom transmit written in Wordpad.
Accessing Setup And Clearing Existing Custom Transmit
Every custom transmit file must start with:
1999%s%s%z%p%u%e
%c%e
This accesses the Setup Mode at the end of the existing transmit and then clears the transmit so
that a new one may be entered.

Some ASCII characters are known as control codes, non-printable characters that instruct a
printing device to perform certain functions. For example, a carriage return <CR> forces a printer
to move the print head to the left-most position of the current line. A line feed <LF> forces the
print head to move down one line. Enter control codes with a decimal point, a 3-digit ASCII code,
and a %e. For example, .013%e.

ACTIVATION METHODS (GENERAL)
Setpoint activation for Fill, Batch, Discharge, and Both can be initiated in one of two ways: Tare or
Auto. Check-weigh operations have no start function. Independent setpoint operations are limited
to Above or Below activation. The Model 370 and Model 375 setpoint option board may be
connected in-series with a larger automated control system or a manually activated switching
device. A foot switch, a two-hand safety station, or other permissive-start devices may be used
for safety or system compatibility.
Activation Method Description
Tare Operation [TARE] activates the setpoint. It waits for a no-motion condition, then tares scale to net zero.
Remote Key
Auto-Start
Pre-Acts (General)
Pre-Acts are control actions prior to reaching a desired target value. Necessary to prevent overfilling due to product flow rate, relay and valve response time and product suspension, Pre-Acts
and other system variables affect how much more product reaches the weighing device after the
Model 370/375 has deactivated a setpoint.
The appropriate setpoint is then activated.
The [REMOTE KEY] closure does not exist on the Model 370/375. Do not use
this choice.
Automatically activates the setpoint. It waits for a no-motion condition, then adds
the target to the current displayed weight to achieve a relative cutoff value.
Pre-act 1
Used in dual-speed applications, pre-act 1 specifies when the 370/375 should switch from fast-fill
to slow-fill, allowing the system to perform the bulk of a filling operation as quickly as possible
before switching to a more manageable dribble mode for final cutoff. When using a single-speed
device, set pre-act 1 to 0.
Pre-act 2
Specifies the weight where the final cutoff should occur, enabling the 370/375 to compensate for
a dispensing control's closure time and account for free-fall material. Free-fall is the amount of
product that has passed the point of the dispensing control yet not yet reached the weighing
device.
Pre-act values are entered in terms of the amount of product that would over-fill or 'how early' to
close the control device. For instance, after repeated tests, a system consistently over-fills by .5
lbs. This is the value that should be entered as the pre-act. The 370/375 would then deactivate
the setpoint .5 lbs. less than the desired final target value.
Parameter Setting Actual Cutoff Value Comments
Target = 400 lbs. Desired final weight.
Pre-Act 1 = 28 400 – 28 = 372 Switch to slow feed at 372 lbs.
Pre-Act 2 = .5 400 – 0.5 = 399.5 Final fill valve closes at 399.5 lbs.
Learn Feature (General)
The Model 370/375 can 'learn' optimal pre-act values. When enabled, the learn feature will
automatically adjust the final cutoff value based on an analysis of the five previous fills, helping
achieve a final target by compensating for product viscosity, changes in plant air pressures, sticky
valves, etc. For each cycle, the prior five final weights are analyzed and a new pre-act value is
calculated.
Pause Feature (General)
The Model 370/375 can pause setpoint operations. This is useful as a safety device, for mid-cycle
operator breaks, mechanical adjustments, etc.
37
Page 44
When invoked, Pause deactivates all setpoints. The display will show: “Tare= ~ Abort”. Pressing
[TARE] will abort the current cycle; any other keypress will resume the cycle. The Pause feature
has four settings:

Changing Targets From The Weigh Mode (General)
When a setpoint operation is configured from the Setup Mode, certain parameters are made
available in the Weigh Mode. Pressing [SELECT] cycles through available modes (Gross, Net,
Quantity, Targ 1, etc.).
When viewing a setpoint-related parameter from the Weigh Mode, [TARE] takes on a special
function. Data keyed in prior to [TARE] will be displayed as the new setpoint parameter value.
Pressing [TARE] alone will advance to the first subset for the current setpoint parameter. Preacts and tolerances are subsets of their respective target values.
A negative target value many be entered for the independent setpoints only. To enter the
negative sign press [PRINT] then [PRINT] + [UNITS] (Model 370 ) or [TARE] (Model 375). A
negative sign will be displayed. Press [TARE] to continue with the entry
Programs that involve a discharge cycle are loss-in-weight type applications. Any target or pre-act
values for these programs should be entered as positive numbers. The Model 370/375 will
automatically interpret these values as negative.
Example (General)
The target for the fill setpoint operation is Targ 1. This is a setpoint-related parameter and
automatically becomes an available mode when Fill is configured in the setpoint setup. Pre-act 1
and pre-act 2 are subsets of Targ 1. The following procedure illustrates how to change a target
from 25 lbs to 40 lbs., keep pre-act 1 at 2 lbs. and change pre-act 2 from .15 lbs to .05 lbs.
To
change targets from the Weigh Model (370 and 375):
1. Press [SELECT]. DISPLAY READS0.00
2. Press [SELECT] to view the current fill target. DISPLAY READS Targ1 ~ 25
3. Press 40 [TARE] to set a new fill target of 40 lbs. DISPLAY READS Targ1 ~ 40
4. Press [TARE] to select the Pre-Act 1 (subset) value of 2 lbs. DISPLAY READS PA 1 ~ 2
5. Press [TARE] to select the Pre-Act 2 (subset) value of .15 lbs. DISPLAY READS PA 2 ~ .15
6. Press .05 [TARE] to select a new Pre-Act 2 value of .05 lbs.
DISPLAY READS PA 2 ~ .05
7. Press [SELECT] to display the current Gross Weight.

PERCENTAGE CHECK-WEIGHING
This feature is commonly used in check-weigh applications. After a target weight is entered,
upper and lower tolerances are entered as a percentage of the target. Over and under tolerance
values are automatically calculated according to the percentages entered. The desired target may
be based on gross weight, net weight or quantity (if counting is enabled).

Description
The Pre-Acts, Learn Mode, and Pause Feature options are not applicable to check-weigh operation.
Changing Targets From The Weigh Mode (Percentage CheckWeighing)
When Check-Weigh by Percentage is configured in the setpoint setup, the Targ 1 value
automatically becomes an available mode for the [SELECT] key. Keying in a value before
pressing [TARE] changes Targ 1. Targ 1 is entered as an absolute value. Pressing [TARE] alone
gives access to the subsets. PctLo and PctHi are the subsets for Targ 1. PctLo and PctHi are
entered as percentage values.
To
change targets from the Weigh Mode:
1. Press [SELECT]. DISPLAY READS0.00
2. Press [SELECT] to view the current target. DISPLAY READS Targ1 ~ 18
3. Press 40 [TARE] to set a new target of 40 lbs. DISPLAY READS Targ1 ~ 40
4. Press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] to select the Percent low (subset) value. Key in the
desired value (example: 2) and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].
DISPLAY READS PctLo ~2
5. Press [TARE] to select the Percent hi (subset) value of .5 lb. Key in the desired value
(example: 5) and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].
DISPLAY READS PctHi ~ 5
6. Press [SELECT] to display the current Gross Weight.

Page 46
Example (Percentage Check-Weighing)
With a system set up to check-weigh ice cream containers, the following settings might be used
to guarantee container weights from 4.95 to 5.10 lbs.:
Target = 5.00 Desired container weight.
Percent Lo Value = 1 5.00 * .01 (1 %) = 0.05 Low acceptable range = 4.95 to 5.00.
Percent Hi Value = 2 5.00 * .02 (2 %) = 0.1 High acceptable range = 5.00 to 5.10.
FILL
The fill program is used for single-speed or dual-speed filling operations. The dual-speed fill
operation allows for both a fast and a slow fill mode. During a fast-fill, setpoints 1 and 2 are
activated. During a slow-fill or single-speed fill, only setpoint 1 is activated.

Pre-Acts (Fill)
Pre-act 1 is used for dual-speed filling. Pre-act 1 specifies when the Model 370/375 should switch
from fast-fill to slow-fill. When using a single-speed device, pre-act 1 should be set to 0 from the
Setup Mode. P5114 should also be disabled to prevent pre-act 1 from appearing as a subset of
target in the Weigh Mode.
Pre-act 2 specifies the target where the final cutoff should occur, regardless of a single-speed or
dual-speed operation.
See Pre-acts (General) on page 37 for details on the operational functions of pre-acts.
Learn Feature (Fill)
Pre-act 2 has a learn feature available which allows the Model 370/375 to adjust the final cutoff
based on changing environmental conditions. See Learn Feature (General) on page 37for 'learn'
feature details.
Pause Feature (Fill)
The standard pause feature (keypress, remote key closure or both) is available for the fill
operation. See Pause Feature (General) on page 37for 'pause' function details.
Changing Targets From The Weigh Mode (Fill)
When fill is configured in the setpoint setup, Targ1 automatically becomes an available mode for
the [SELECT] key. An entry followed by [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] changes Targ 1. Pressing
[TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] alone allows access to the subsets. PA 1 and PA 2 are the subsets
for Targ 1. The pre-acts can be deleted as subsets by choosing 'disabled' at P5114 and P5115.
See Changing Targets from the Weigh Mode (General) on page 38 for instructions on changing
target values from the Weigh Mode.
Example (Fill)
With a system set up to fill 55-gallon drums with motor oil, the following settings might be used to
achieve an accurate final fill weight of 400 lbs.:
Parameter Setting Actual Cutoff Value Comments
Targ 1 = 400 Desired final weight.
Pre-act 1 = 28 400 – 28 = 372.0 Switch to dribble feed at 372.
Pre-act 2 = .5 400 – 0.5 = 399.5 Final fill valve closes at 399.5.
BATCH
The standard batch program is used for batching up to three separate items. Ing redients 1
through 3 use setpoints and pre-acts 1 through 3 respectively. Ingredients are batched one at a
time.

Pre-acts 1, 2 and 3 specify the final cutoff for each respective ingredient. See Per-acts (General)
on page 37 for pre-act details.
Learn Feature (Batch)
Each batch pre-act has the learn feature available which allows the Model 370/375 to
automatically adjust the final cutoff based on changing environmental conditions. See Learn
Feature (General) on page 37 for 'learn' feature details.
Pause Feature (Batch)
The standard pause feature (keypress, remote key closure or both) is available for the batch
operation. See Pause Feature (General) on page 37 for 'pause' details.
Changing Targets From The Weigh Mode (Batch)
When batch is configured in the setpoint setup, Targ1 automatically becomes an available mode
for the [SELECT] key. An entry followed by [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] changes Targ 1.
Pressing [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] alone allows access to the subsets. PA 1 and PA 2 are the
subsets for Targ 1. The pre-acts can be deleted as subsets by choosing 'disabl ed' at P5114 and
P5115. See Changing Targets from the Weigh Mode (General) on page 38 for instructions on
changing target values from the Weigh Mode.
Pre-acts 1 and 2 are always available as subsets of their respective targets from the Weigh Mode.
Example (Batch)
With a system set up a system to make a 50,000 lb batch with water (30,000 lbs.), corn syrup
(15,000 lbs.) and caramel color (5,000 lbs.), ingredient 1 should start with [TARE] and
subsequent ingredients should auto-start.

DISCHARGE
The discharge program is designed for single-speed or dual-speed dispensing of product from a
larger weigh vessel. Discharge is a loss-in-weight application similar in operation to the fill
program. When a discharge is initiated, the scale automatically tares and comes to a net zero
weight. The appropriate setpoints are activated and material is discharged until the decreasing
net weight reaches the desired target value.

Pre-Acts (Discharge)
Pre-act 1 is used for dual-speed dispensing. Pre-act 1 specifies when the system shoul d switch
from fast-discharge to slow-discharge. When using a single-speed device, pre-act 1 should be set
to 0 from the Setup Mode. P5114 should also be disabled to prevent pre-act 1 from appearing as
a subset of the target in the Weigh Mode. Pre-act 2 specifies the point where the final cutoff
should occur, regardless of a single-speed or dual-speed operation. See Pre-acts (General) on
page 37 for details on the operational functions of pre-acts.
Pre-act 1 controls setpoint 2. Pre-act 2 control s setp oi nt 1.
Learn Feature (Discharge)
Pre-act 2 has the learn feature available which allows the Model 370/375 to automatically adjust
the final cutoff based on changing environmental conditions. See Learn Feature (General) on
page 37for learn feature details.
Pause Feature (Discharge)
The standard pause feature (keypress, remote key closure or both) is available for the discharge
operation. See Pause Feature (General) on page 37 for pause function details.
When Discharge is configured in the setpoint setup, Targ1 automatically becomes an available
mode for the [SELECT] key. An entry followed by [TARE] or [SAMPLE] changes Targ 1.
Pressing [TARE] or [SAMPLE] alone allows access to the subsets. PA 1 and PA 2 are the

P5115. See Changing Targets from the Weigh Mode (General) on page 38 for instructions on
changing target values from the Weigh Mode.
Target and pre-act values are entered as positive values.
If the total amount of product in the weigh vessel is less than the entered target, the Model
370/375 will prompt “Tare ~ =Cont”. Pressing [TARE] will dispense whatever is left in the vessel.
Pressing any other key will abort the discharge cycle to allow for refilling the vessel.
Example (Discharge)
With a system set up to dispense ball bearings from a 50,000 lb weigh-bin and the fast-feed

BOTH
The 'Both' program combines a fill operation with a discharge operation. This automates a singlespeed vessel filling operation with a single-speed multiple dispensing function. Setpoint 1 is used
for filling the vessel and Setpoint 2 is used for product discharge. The 'both' program uses values
for two targets and two pre-acts. Both targets must be based alike (net or quantity, quantity if
count is selected).

TARGET DEVIATION CHECK-WEIGHING
The target deviation method uses a target value in which the upper and lower tolerances are
deviated from the target. The upper and lower tolerances are fixed values. The accept window is
varied by adding the high tolerance to the target and subtracting the low tolerance from the target.
This feature is commonly used in check-weigh applications. The desired target may be based on
gross weight, net weight or quantity (if counting is enabled). The annunciators will light on the
Model 370/375 display or physical setpoints can be added.

DISPLAY CAPTURE UTILITY
The Display Capture Utility sends the current display information out of the one of the available
comm ports when the one of the two extended ASCII character represented by decimal 149 (hex:
95h) or decimal 150 (hex: 96h) are received through the comm port. The previous characeters
can be used when the comm. port is set to 8 data bits. For 7 data bits comm. port, %[Ctrl-V] or
%[Ctrl-W] can be used to replace 149 or 150 respectively. Upon receiving decimal 149, the
Display Capture Utility sends the current display information out of comm. port 1. Upon receiving
decimal 150, the Display Capture Utility sends the current display information out of comm. port
2. Entering a decimal 149 from a computer keyboard can be accomplished by turning on the Num
Lock and holding down the ALT key while typing the desired decimal number on the keyboard
keypad (for example, <Alt>149).
The Display Capture Utility must have NTEP (P440) disabled in order to function.
Example #1
The scale is in the weigh mode with the gross weight displayed (for example, 15.00).
Input: The extended ASCII character represented by decimal 149 (hex: 95h) is received through
any comm port.
Output: "15.00 lb Gross " is sent out comm port 1.
Example #2
The scale is in setup at P110 Full Scale.
Input: The extended ASCII character represented by decimal 150 (hex: 96h) is received through
any comm. port
Output: "P110 F.S. 100.00 " is sent out comm port 2.
The time and date feature is stored as non-volatile (time/date setting will not be lost when the unit
power is reset). The time/date parameter is available in the first two fixed transmits (See Transmit
Selection on page 29) and can be included in a custom transmit (See Custom Transmit Setup on
page 31).
The time and date can be accessed from the weigh mode with the [SELECT] key if P502 is
enabled. Also 11%s can be sent into the comm port to access the time/date entry regardless of
P502.
The time and date can be entered in the setup mode at P500 and P501. Access P500 to change
the time or P501 to change the date. To access the setup mode see page 15. Use the

The Model 370 and Model 375 have flash memory on the main board where the parameters are
stored. It is possible to update the firmware simply by using a computer. The firmware is loaded
into a flash memory IC. This allows for ease in loading firmware updates.
53
Page 60
The flash memory on the main processor is only rated to be reflashed up to 10 times under extreme
industrial and temperature conditions.
PREPARE FOR UPGRADE
Before the Model 370/375 firmware can be updated, the procedure below must be followed. A
computer with a serial port or USB port is required for loading a flash file. If you are using a USB
port, a USB to serial converter is necessary.
1. Connect the communication cable from the computer to comm. 1 of the Model 370 or Model
375.
2. Open a communications program or terminal window program (such as Communication Plus)
on the computer.
3. Set the protocol of the Model 370/375 to be 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity.
4. Go to parameter 65020 (re-flash) and press [TARE] (Model 370) or [SAMPLE/Enter] (Model
375). Press [TARE] (Model 370) or [SAMPLE/Enter] (Model 375) at the "ARE YOU SURE ?
prompt. Press [TARE] (Model 370) or [SAMPLE/Enter] (Model 375) at the Enter = Flash
prompt.
~ Or ~
Unplug the Model 370/375 and move Reflash jumper (E2) from NORMAL to REFLASH.
5. The terminal program should show:
GSE Scale Systems

300 Series Bootloader Version XX (where XX should be at least 03)
Date (where Date should be at least Feb 2004)
a. Erase Flash
b. Program Flash
c. Set Baud Rate
d. Quit
6. Typically the default baud rate on the computer will be 9600. The programming time at 9600
baud is about 6 minutes. At 38400 baud the programming time is about one minute and a
half. At 57600 baud the programming time is about one minute. Set the Model 370/375 baud
rate in the terminal software to the desired baud rate by entering c from the computer
keyboard. Set the baud rate of the terminal program to match the baud rate chosen for the
Model 370/375.
LOAD FLASH FILE
1. The current flash file must be erased. Enter an a from the computer keyboard. When finished
the menu choices will be replicated.
2. To program flash, enter a b from the computer keyboard. Open the flash file from your
terminal window and send it to the Model 370/375. After the file loads the menu choices will
be replicated.
3. To end the flash process, enter a d from the computer keyboard to quit. The Model 370/375
will restart.
4. If the Reflash jumper (E2) was set to REFLASH, unplug the Model 370/375 and return the
jumper to the NORMAL position.
In order to enable the Model 375 keypad you must cycle power and hold the [SAMPLE/Enter]

The remote display function allows a master unit (370 or 375) to be echoed to another unit (350
I.S., 355 I.S., 350, 355) and be used in a remote location. There are certain parameters that must
be set in order to have the master and slave units communicate together. Refer to the section
below to configure the master and remote (slave) units.
MASTER TO REMOTE (SLAVE) CONFIGURATION
The remote unit will receive continuous transmission from the master unit. It is necessary to setup
the protocol parameters in both units so they match in order to coordinate the transmission. See
Table 3-14 for the common protocol parameters. A remote unit will not show the bargraph even
if it is a LCD display.

This is especially beneficial when checking high capacity applications such as ta nk weighing to
minimize the task of placing and removing test weights.

FALSE ZERO
False Zero calibrates the Model 370/375 without removing the current gross weight. This is
particularly useful in tank weighing applications where it may be both time consuming and costly
to completely empty the tank. This operation is achieved by establishing a false (temporary zero)
zero reference. Test weights may then be added to verify calibration. The zero reference
determined during the last calibration is not affected.

RESET CALIBRATION
Cal Reset may be necessary when an over-load or under-load condition exists, preventing the
completion of the calibration process. Calibration Reset adjusts the zero and gain factors of the
A/D amplifier to factory default values for maximum sensitivity.
After performing a calibration reset, a complete recalibration is required. The effects of a
calibration reset do not take effect until the Model 370/375 recalibrated and calibration information
has been saved.

If the load cell signal input to the Model 370/375 has good repeatability and stability, then using
multi-point linearization during calibration may significantly improve the ultimate accuracy of the
data displayed by the Model 370/375. Parameter 119 (P119) enables or disables this feature.
Initially, the same basic procedures as a normal calibration are used to perform a multi-point
linearization. All of the prompts provided will be exactly the same as a standard calibration for
each cal point up to the Cal ~ Good? prompt.
If items are consistently being weighed on either the high or low end of the cell capacity, the
points of calibration can be skewed to either end of the spectrum. Multi-point linearization can
compensate for a cell that is non-linear. Refer to page 61 for the instructions on how to enter the
calibration mode.
First Zero?
1. Remove all weight and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].
2. From the Enter Load prompt key in the first calibration point and press [TARE] or
[SAMPLE/Enter].
3. From the Add Load prompt add the weight of the first calibration point and press [TARE]
or [SAMPLE/Enter].
4. For calibration points 2 -5; Simply add the weight which you want to use for the next
calibration point, then key in the value of the applied weight and press [TARE] or
[SAMPLE/Enter]. You may wish to add weight until the displayed weight differs from the
actual applied weight and then perform the next calibration at that point.
Reset Cal
1. Press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].
2. From the First Zero? prompt remove all weight and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].
3. From the Enter Load prompt key in the first calibration point and press [TARE] or
[SAMPLE/Enter].
4. From the Add Load prompt add the weight of the first calibration point and press [TARE]
or [SAMPLE/Enter].
5. For calibration points 2 -5; Simply add the weight which you want to use for the next
calibration point, then key in the total applied weight and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter]. You may wish to add weight until the displayed weight differs from the
actual applied weight and then perform the next calibration at that point.
Up to five calibration points may be established using this procedure. However if fewer
calibration points are required, simply press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] without entering a value
at the PntX prompt. Refer to Figure 4-1 for graph examples of 5-point calibration.

Page 76
After the last point is established, the Model 370/375 will prompt with Cal ~ Good? Press the
[TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] key to accept the calibration or press [ZERO] or [CLR] to backup
and redo the last point as described below.
If you make a mistake at any point in the linearization process, simply press the [ZERO] or [CLR]
key. The Model 370/375 w backup one step in the procedure to the previous linearization point.
After the linearization has been completed, the changes must be saved by pressing [TARE] or
[SAMPLE/Enter] at the Enter = Save prompt. Otherwise the previous calibration data will remain
in effect.

If Multi-Point Linearization is enabled (P119), the ten Parameters P61130 thru P61139 show the
calibration weights used and the resulting calculated factors. Otherwise the message “Not Used”
is displayed.
ESTABLISHING A SPAN
Once a zero reference has been established, the Model 370/375 displays Enter ~ Load and
awaits the entry of a span (test load) value. This value may be entered before or after the test
load has been applied.
If the calibration weight value was entered before applying the test weight, Add ~ Load is
displayed indicating that the test weight should now be applied. Apply the test weight, press
[TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] and proceed to Exiting Calibration on page 71.
If it is necessary to repeat the calibration process, press [ZERO] at the Cal ~ Good? prompt and
repeat the calibration process.

The analog output calibration procedure establishes explicit zero and full scale values for each of
the three analog output modes: 0 - 10V, 0 - 20 mA and 4- 20 mA. There are five adjustment
values for the analog option, located at the information parameters P61200 through P61205 that
allow the zero and full scale output of each mode to be adjusted to exact values. This allows the
analog option to be configured to match the needs of the system being connected to its outputs.
The calibration values for each of these modes have been determined at the factory. These
values are provided on paper with each board to make calibrating the analog opt ion a simple

Entering Calibration Values
Analog calibration values can be entered into the Model 370 and Model 375 by keying in the data
in the left-hand column, beginning at the line starting with "61200…", replacing the "%s" character
pairs with the [SELECT] key and "%e" with the [TARE] (370) or [SAMPLE] (375) key. The line
with the "%c" is not adjustable and cannot be entered.
You can adjust the included factory recommended offset and gain values to precisely configure
the system being connected to these outputs. Once the initial factory values have been entered,
pressing the [TARE] (370) or [SAMPLE] (375) key will cause the count value to increase one
count, and pressing the [PRINT] + [UNITS] keys will decrement the count value by one count. All
changes made are updated "live" to aid in calibrating a specific device to the analog option board
output. Holding down the key(s) will repeat the increment/decrement action.

The Model 370/375 Analog-to-Digital Converter (A/D) is calibrated at the factory to ensure a
stable, linear response to the load cell signal. This calibration procedure calculates critical val ues
that are permanently stored in parameters P61110 - P61121. The A/D calibration should not be
confused with the standard weight calibration. It should never be necessary to recalibrate the
A/D. However, if the values stored at parameters P61110 - P61121 appear to be reset to
0.00000 and/or 1.00000, then A/D recalibration is necessary. Contact GSE Scale Systems or
your local authorized GSE distributor for more information on this procedure.
The following test procedures affect the analog output signal levels. Be sure to disconnect all
peripheral devices attached to the analog option card.
Test equipment needed: precision DC voltmeter, 500 ohm precision resistor. The 500 ohm
resistor must meet the following specifications: .01% tolerance and 5ppm temperature
coefficient.
