and connecting them to load cells. Please review the step-by-step
procedures for your particular controller model before you install it.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUITABILITY

i See Appendix A for controller

dimensions and drawings.

All 60 Series instrumentation share the following features:

• The keypads are made of silicon rubber. Specifications that describe
the reactions of this material to various solvents are available from
GSE.

• The display window is made from a polycarbonate material. The
gasket for the display is a closed cell polyethylene foam with a rubber
based pressure sensitive adhesive. Although resistant to water,
detergent, and alcohol, this gasket may be adversely affected by
aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

• The rear panel gasket on stainless steel indicators is made from an
FDA approved Silicone.

• 60 Series instruments are supplied in a sealed enclosure. Stainless
steel models may be used in a washdown environment. Care must be
taken to ensure that the AC power socket outlet is properly protected.

For the 460 Series, 560 Series and models 660, 661, and 662, GSE offers
a Splash Guard transparent vinyl cover for added protection. For models
465, 560, 562, 660, 661, 662, and 665, a dura-shield is also available to
protect the lens and keypad. Contact your local GSE distributor for more
information.

GSE Scale Systems

460 AND 465 INDICATORS

Model 460 and 465 indicators are offered in standard and panel mount
versions. All general setup, calibration, and custom programming
operations of the panel-mount versions are identical to those of the
respective standard versions. Differences between the standard and
panel mount versions are mainly in the enclosure and the position of both
the main printed circuit board and display.

Standard 460 and 465 controllers have a swivel bracket for table-top use.
Panel-mount versions of the 460 and 465 controllers are designed for

permanent mounting in washdown environments and do not have a swivel
bracket. The main printed circuit board is orientated so that the
component side faces away from the display and the non-component side
faces the same direction as the keypad, allowing easy servicing. In
addition, a rear cover protects the main board and components against
physical and electrical damage.

!

Any operation that involves

opening the controller enclosure
should be performed only by
qualified service personnel and
only after the power is completely
disconnected from the power
source. Hazardous voltage is
accessible within the enclosure!

Installation 2-3

STANDARD 460 AND 465 INDICATORS

The standard 460 and 465 indicators can be installed for table-top use or
permanent mounting.

TABLE-TOP USE

For tabletop use, position the indicator for convenient viewing. A swivel
bracket with non-slip rubber feet enables tilting of the controller face to any
viewing angle without the controller sliding when you press the keys.

PERMANENT MOUNTING

The swivel bracket has four holes for mounting to a fixed surface. The
holes are 0.7 mm (0.28 in) diameter to accommodate M6 metric or 1/4 in
fasteners. For the mounting hole pattern and overall dimensions, see
Appendix A.

To remove the rear panel:

1. Remove AC power by unplugging the indicator from the power outlet
socket.

2. Disconnect any cables from their source connectors.

3. Using a #2 cross-tip (Phillips) screwdriver or an 8mm socket, remove
the eight 8-mm hex head screws from the rear panel (see Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1: 460 and 465 Rear Panel

4. Carefully lift the rear panel from the enclosure, and disconnect the
keypad ribbon cable from J8 on the main printed circuit board (see
Figure 2-2).

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

2-4 Chapter 2

Figure 2-2: 460 and 465 Main Board

5. Disconnect the display cable from J1 on the main printed circuit board.

6. Connect the load cell leads to J2 on the main board (see Figure 2-2
and refer to page 2-19).

To re-install the rear panel:

1. Connect the keypad ribbon cable to J8 on the main board (see Figure
2-2).

2. Connect the display cable to J1 on the main printed circuit board.

3. Move the rear panel into position.

4. Tighten the strain relief to ensure a firm grip on each cable.

5. Mount the rear panel to the indicator with the eight 8-mm hex head
screws.

6. Using a #2 cross tip (Phillips) screwdriver, tighten the screws on the
rear panel. First tighten all the screws hand tight in order to provide
even pressure on the gasket, then tighten each screw until it begins to
visibly compress the gasket. This ensures the best environmental seal
and maximum electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio-frequency
(RFI), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) shielding performance. Over
tightening the screws can deform the rear panel resulting in a poor
seal.

PANEL MOUNT 460 AND 465 INDICATORS

Panel mount versions of the 460 and 465 indicators are designed for
permanent mounting in washdown environments.

PANEL MOUNT VERSION REAR COVER

Any operation that involves

opening the controller enclosure
should be performed only by
qualified service personnel and
only after the power is completely
disconnected from the power
source! Hazardous voltage is
accessible within the enclosure.

Panel mount versions of the 460 and 465 indicators offer a rear cover to
protect the main board against physical and electrical damage. The rear
cover enables easy access to the main board. There is no need to remove
the entire panel mount unit for servicing.

The rear cover snaps onto the board mounting plate. A single M4x0.7 hex
bolt is included for installing a legal-for-trade seal and for fastening the
rear cover.

Two slots are positioned at the bottom of the cover to enable power, load
cell, printer, computer, and other wire routing. All wire strain relieves and
terminals should be positioned below or near this area.

The serial number, power requirements, and approvals label is on the
cover.

Refer to Appendix A for dimensional drawings.

660, 661, AND 662 CONTROLLERS

Model 660, 661 and 662 controllers are offered in standard and panel
mount versions. All general setup, calibration, and custom programming
operations of the panel-mount versions are identical to those of the
respective standard versions. Differences between the standard and
panel mount versions are mainly in the enclosure and the position of both
the main printed circuit board and display.

Standard 660, 661 and 662 controllers have a swivel bracket for table-top
use.

Panel-mount versions of the 660, 661, and 662 controllers are designed
for permanent mounting in washdown environments and do not have a
swivel bracket. The main printed circuit board is orientated so that the
component side faces away from the display and the non-component side
faces the same direction as the keypad, allowing easy servicing. In
addition, a rear cover protects the main board and components against
physical and electrical damage.

STANDARD 660, 661 AND 662 CONTROLLERS

LOAD CELL CONNECTIONS

This section provides information on connecting the load cell the 60 Series
instruments.

TRANSDUCER EXCITATION

All 60 Series instruments are designed to be connected to any
Wheatstone bridge design strain gage-based force measuring transducer.
The instrument supplies 10 VDC developed from +5VDC and -5VDC
referenced to common for the excitation voltage. The maximum excitation
supply current available for the load cell (s) is

• 460 Series 350 mA; twelve (12) 350 ohm load cells

• 560 Series 400 mA; fourteen (14) 350 ohm load cells

• 660 Series 400 mA; fourteen (14) 350 ohm load cells

CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS

A high quality cable that has an overall braided shield and 16 to 24 gage
(AWG) stranded wire is recommended for the connection to the weigh
platform. The load cell cable should be routed into the controller enclosure
through the strain relief nearest the J2 loadcell connector.

GSE Scale Systems

Installation 2-23

i

SENSE LEAD CONNECTIONS

Four-lead or six-lead scale platforms can be connected to any 60 Series
instrument. Refer to Table 2-1 for wiring information.

Table 2-1: Load Cell Connections

Load Cell Function

+ Excitation Red

- Excitation Black
+ Signal White

- Signal Green
+ Sense Red (optional)

- Sense Black (optional)

GSE Platform

Color Code

Six-lead cables include two extra wires for sensing the actual excitation
voltage at the load cell. This connection compensates for variations in the
resistance of the excitation wiring which can change due to variations in
temperature, especially over long distances.

If the load cell has six leads, the jumpers (E1 and E2) next to the J2
connector should be set to the EXT (bottom) position.

If the load cell has four leads, the jumpers (E1 and E2) must be set to the
INT (top) position. This jumpers the excitation voltage to the sense leads
on the main board, providing the required excitation feedback in the
absence of the sense leads.

INSTALLATION

The PC board mounting nut is

used to establish the earth ground
reference for the PC board
circuitry, so the nut must always
be in place when the controller is
powered up!

For load cells with six conductors,

two jumpers (E1 and E2, next to
J2 on the Main PC Board) must be
adjusted so external sensing can
be operational.

i Load cell connections are labeled

on the PC board next to the J2
connector.

To connect the load cell:

1. Strip back the jacket of the weigh platform load cell cable
approximately 3 cm (1.25 in) from the end of the cable.

2. Using a small screwdriver, create an opening in the braided shield, just
past the end of the jacket. Pull the wires out of the braided shield.

3. Strip back the insulation of each conductor wire 0.6 cm (1/4 in).

4. Twist the strands of each conductor to aid insertion into J2. Do not tin
the leads. The lever connectors are designed to provide a gas tight
vibration proof connection to stranded wires. Tinning the leads
decreases the connection reliability.

5. Loosen the nearest strain relief and route the load cell cable through it.

6. View the main PC board and locate the lever connector labeled J2.

7. Connect the four or six conductors to the proper terminals, as
described in Table 2-1. Refer to the load cell’s color wiring code for the
proper colors for each connection.

8. Use a small screwdriver to apply force to the lever connector, as
shown in Figure 2-15.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

9. Insert the lead in place, as shown in Figure 2-16 for a 460 Series
indicator or Figure 2-17 for a 560 Series or 660 Series controller.

10. Test all connections by pulling lightly on each conductor.

11. Connect the load cell shield to the lever connector SHIELD.

12. Pull any excess cable back out of the controller through the strain
relief until there is no slack between the shield connection and the
strain relief.

13. Tighten down the strain relief securely to ensure a firm grip on the
cable.

LCD OPERATION

The 8X40 LCD is the standard display for the 562 and 662 controllers. A
16X40 LCD is available as the primary display for the 663 and 665
controllers. Both displays interface to the same factory-installed LCD
driver board as shown in Figure 2-19 and Figure 2-20.

LCD HARDWARE SETUP

The LCD driver board is installed on new indicators at the factory.
Jumpers E2 and E3 are both set to match the display size (SM = 8X40
LCD; LG = 16X40 LCD) as shown in Figure 2-21.

Figure 2-21: LCD Interface Board

Connections to the LCD driver board are the LCD interface ribbon cable
(J3) and the LCD backlight (J4).

i A low-tone, variable speed warble will occur at power-up if the LCD

driver board is installed but the display is not connected to J3.

LCD PARAMETER SETUP

The LCD driver board is auto-detected at power-up. Once detected, the
LCD is automatically selected as the primary display. Therefore, it is not
possible to use the 7-segment VFD or 4X20 VFD with the LCD connected.
Model 660 Series controllers that use the LCD will have P425 set to “LCD

Alwys”, indicating that the LCD display will always be used as the

primary display when the driver board is installed.

USING THE 4X20 VFD WITH AN LCD

Although it is possible to connect a 4X20 VFD while using an LCD, there
are several issues that complicate simultaneous use of both displays:

• It would not be possible to use macro commands to transmit data to
the 4X20 VFD as they will instead be automatically routed to the LCD.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

2-28 Chapter 2

• It would not be possible to get an operator input on the 4X20 VFD
using the %G or %K commands.

• Only a custom transmit directed out comm4 would allow
communication to the 4X20 VFD.

LCD CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT

The contrast of the LCD changes with temperature. A contrast setting that
allows good viewing at a high temperature might make the display
impossible to read at a low temperature. This would make it difficult to
access P430 to change the contrast.

If the display is not visible at power-up you can adjust the contrast as
follows:

1. Power down.

2. Hold down the left, down and right arrow keys.

3. Power up.

4. Continue to hold the left, down and right arrow keys until you can see
the contrast adjustment menu on the display, then release.

5. Make fine adjustments to the contrast by pressing the up and down
arrow keys.

6. Press [ENTER] to exit the menu and permanently store the new
contrast setting.

KEYPAD CONFIGURATION

All 60 Series indicators are shipped with the keypad properly configured.
However proper keypad operation can not always be guaranteed when
installing a replacement main board due to the fact that some indicators
support multiple keypad styles. A keypad will not operate correctly when it
does not match the configuration of the main board. And since the keypad
does not operate correctly, it is impossible to use the conventional method
to access the setup mode and change P450 to the correct style keypad.
Instead, holding down various keys at power-up as described below will
automatically configure P450 to reflect the connected keypad.

460 KEYPAD

If the keypad does not operate correctly at power-up, configure the keypad
as follows:

GSE Scale Systems

1. Power down.

2. Hold down the [ENTER] key.

3. Power up.

4. Continue holding the key until “M460 Keypd” is displayed, then

2. Hold down the [SCALE SELECT] + [F1] + [SELECT] keys.*

3. Power up.

4. Continue holding the keys until “M460 Keypd” is displayed, then
release.

* Use these keys for firmware dated after September 28, 2001.

Previously the [ZERO] + [SCALE SELECT] + [F1] keys were used to
configure the keypad at power-up.

560 SERIES KEYPAD

The 560 Series controllers offers only one 23-key keypad style and
therefore should not require reconfiguration. However, should the keypad
not operate correctly, follow the same procedure as described above for
the 465 to display “M560 Keypd” at power-up.

660 SERIES KEYPAD

The 660 Series controllers offers only one 28-key keypad style. However,
the 25-key keypad used by the 650 Series is also compatible and would
require reconfiguration if connected to a 660 Series main board.

If the keypad does not operate correctly at power-up, configure the keypad
as follows:

1. Power down.

2. Hold down the [ID] + [F1] + [F2] keys.*

3. Power up.

4. Continue holding the keys until either “M660 Keypd” or “M653

Keypd” is displayed, then release.**

* Use these same three keys on both the 25-key and 28-key keypads.

SETUP PARAMETERS

Setup parameters are dedicated memory registers within the 60 Series
Instrument that collectively define how the scale operates. These
parameters can only be accessed by entering the setup mode as
described later in this chapter.

A setup parameter is identified by the letter “P” followed by a three, four or
five-digit number and a decimal point. The example below shows
parameter 109, the parameter used to enable a scale for use.

ACCESSING THE PARAMETER SETUP MODE

Viewing and/or editing setup parameters requires that you first access the
setup mode.

You can key in the full-edit

access code when viewing
parameters if you with to
begin making changes.

GSE Scale Systems

VIEW-ONLY ACCESS

It is possible to view the current configuration of any 60 Series Instrument
by simply keying in the desired parameter number and pressing
[SELECT], then [ENTER]. For example,

100 ó å

will display the first setup mode parameter. Note that the display briefly
shows –-No- Mods! before accessing the parameter. This indicates
that no modifications can be made to any parameter. Changing parameter
selections are only possible by entering the setup mode using the full-edit
access method.

FULL-EDIT ACCESS

Setup Parameters 3-3

Example:

Accessing Setup Mode / Full-Edit

100 ó

Keyin

Code:

23640 é å

Allow

SetUp
P10*01

Mods!

Scale
1

? If the program jumper is set to

‘NO’ you will not be granted
access to edit setup
parameters by any means.
Attempting to do so will result
in a Code 16 Check
Jumpr error message.

In order to change the current selection for any of the setup parameters
you must access the setup mode by keying in the desired parameter
number and entering a security access code. The default GSE access
code is 23640 [ID] [ENTER]. For example,

100 ó 23640 é å

will display the first setup mode parameter and allow changes to all
parameter selections (see example: Accessing Setup Mode / Full-Edit).

Accessing a Specific parameter

You can access a specific parameter by keying in the parameter number
(and applicable instance) prior to pressing [SELECT]. For example,

5100.2 ó 23640 é å

will proceed directly to parameter 5100 for setpoint #2 upon entering the
setup mode. This method also works with view-only and limited access.

LIMITED ACCESS

Whereas the full-edit access method allows changes to all setup
parameter selections, using the limited access code permits changes to be
made to all parameters except any macros or custom transmits that are
protected by limited access.

The default GSE limited access code is 21353 [ENTER]. Thus,

100 ó 21353 å

will access the setup mode using limited access. Any macros or custom
transmit tables that are protected by limited access (yes) at P9994 or P999
respectively will not be viewable, cannot be changed and will not appear in
the download output at P64000. This allows the programmer to give
others access to important field configurable parameters such as zero
tracking and motion delay while protecting the main program routines from
unauthorized changing or copying. When using the limited access code it
is advisable to assign a PIN number to the full-edit access code at P400
as the default GSE access code is widely known and if used will give full
access to all setup parameters.

Table 3-1: Parameters Affected by Limited Access Code

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION COMMENT

P10001-19999 Macros will not be viewable if specified as limited access at P9994.
P400-402 PIN#s will not be viewable.

P1000-4999
P50001
P64000-64001

Custom transmits will not be viewable or printable if specified as
limited access at parameter P999.

Macro debug will not be viewable if specified as limited access at
P50000.
Sending setup will not print any parameter protected by limited
access.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-4 Chapter 3

PIN NUMBER ACCESS

A PIN number can be assigned at P400 and P402 to override the GSE
default full-edit access and limited access codes. If a PIN number is in
effect, use the PIN number as the access code omit the [ID] key from the
keypress sequence. For example,

100 ó 7875 å

will allow access to the setup mode if stored PIN number is ‘7875’.

! DO NOT FORGET YOUR PIN NUMBER!

If you forget your PIN number, you will not be able to access the setup
mode by any means. There is no “back door” access. If the PIN number
is forgotten, you must either send the indicator back to GSE to have the
PIN number cleared and restored to the default access code or replace the
EEPROM. The later will force a default setup upon power-up, however
ALL SETUP INFORMATION WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST!

ACCESS DENIED

If you cannot access the setup mode for edit using the methods previously
described, there are two probable reasons – the wrong code was entered
or the main board program jumper is in the ‘NO’ position.

Wrong Access Code

If you enter the setup mode access code incorrectly, a Code11 WRONG

CODE! error message is displayed and access is denied. If you are sure

you entered the code correctly, then it is likely that a PIN number has been
entered or changed.

Program Jumper in ‘NO’ Position

It is not possible to enter the setup mode by any means if the main board
program jumper is in the ‘NO’ position. Attempting to do so will result in a
Code16 Check Jumpr error message. Move the program jumper to
the ‘YES’ position and try again.

Keys Disabled

Front panel keys can be disabled in the setup mode or redefined to invoke
macro routines. This could effect the normal use of the keys required to
invoke the setup mode. This situation usually does not generate an error
message – it simply ignores key presses or performs other functions when
keys are pressed. You can reset the keypad to a normal condition by
holding down the [CLR] key on power-up until Macro Disbl is
displayed. This will enable all keys to their normal function and inhibit the
execution of all macros, thus allowing you to access the setup mode.

ACCESSING THE 460 SETUP MODE

GSE Scale Systems

The M460 uses the same access codes as previously described in this
section, however since it does not have a numeric keypad the access
method is different.

Setup Parameters 3-5

VIEW-ONLY ACCESS (MODEL 460)

Access the setup parameters in the view-only mode by pressing [ZERO] +
[SELECT], then [TARE/ENTER].

ú + ó ô

FULL-EDIT ACCESS (MODEL 460)

Access the setup parameters in the full-edit mode by pressing [ZERO] +
[SELECT], then [SELECT] [ZERO] [PRINT] [UNITS] [TARE/ENTER].

ú + ó ó ú ð õ ô

Accessing a Specific parameter

Accessing a specific parameter requires the scale to be in a mode such as
the tare mode that allows numeric entry using the character scroll keys
(see Character Entry on page 5-6). You can then scroll in the desired
parameter number prior to pressing [SELECT]. For example, from the
tare mode

500 ó ó ú ð õ ô

will access P500 directly.

LIMITED ACCESS & PIN NUMBER ACCESS (MODEL 460)

Accessing the setup mode using limited access or PIN number access
requires use of the character scroll keys (see Character Entry on page 5-

6) to enter the code. For example,

ú + ó 21353 ô

will access the setup parameters using the GSE default limited access
code. PIN numbers are also entered this way.

NAVIGATING SETUP PARAMETERS

Once you have entered the setup mode you can move freely through all
parameters to view and/or change any parameter’s configuration.

ADVANCING THROUGH PARAMETERS

Press [SELECT] to advance sequentially through all parameters. Multiple­instance parameters will be repeated for each enabled instance.

Press [SCALE SELECT] or [.] [SELECT] to move back one parameter.
On the M460 press [PRINT] [SELECT].

ACCESSING A SPECIFIC PARAMETER

Key in a parameter number and press [SELECT] to access that parameter
directly. For example,

300 ó

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-6 Chapter 3

?

will take you directly to P300 from any other parameter. On the M460, use
of the character scroll keys (see Character Entry on page 5-6) to enter the
parameter number.

Multiple Instance Parameters

If an instance is not specified

for multiple instance
parameters, the parameter
accessed will be the first
instance of the first parameter
within the parameter group.

A multiple instance parameter can be directly accessed by including the
desired instance number with the parameter number. Separate the
parameter number and instance with a decimal. For example,

200.2 ó

will proceed directly to P200 (baud rate) for communication port 2.

OTHER NAVIGATING TOOLS

There are several short-cut and special function keys used to aid in
navigating the setup mode. The function of these keys depends on the
currently selected setup parameter (see Table 3-2). For a complete list of
key functions, see page A-6.

GSE Scale Systems

Setup Parameters 3-7

PARAMETER TYPES

There are three types of setup parameters – parameters that require a
value to be keyed in, parameters that require a numeric entry representing
one selection from a list of choices and parameters that require the entry
of an operating parameter. Refer to Table 3-3 for each parameter’s type.

KEY-IN VALUE PARAMETERS

A key-in value parameter requires a number or name to be entered. The
entry will appear as the new parameter value exactly as it was keyed in.
Examples of key-in parameters include full scale capacity (P110), time
(P500) and variable names (P682).

F.S.—

P11)

To change the value of a key in parameter, simply key in the desired value
and press [ENTER]. For example,

100.0

1000 å

will change the full scale capacity to 1000.

SELECTABLE VALUE PARAMETERS

A selectable value parameter requires the entry of a numeric value that
corresponds to a selection from a list of choices. The number entered will
be displayed to the right of the parameter number and the lower portion of
the prompting display will show the text equivalent of the selection.
Examples of selectable value parameters are units (P131), baud rate
(P200) and beeper volume (P460).

Baud—

P20)02

To change a selection, key in the number corresponding to the desired
selection (see Appendix D for a complete list of parameter selection
values). For example,

9600

11 å

will change the baud rate to 57600 (‘11’ is the selection value for 57600
baud). If you don’t know the selection number you can press [ENTER] to
scroll sequentially through all selections.

OPERATING PARAMETER ENTRY PARAMETERS

Some setup parameters require the entry of an operating parameter (see
Table 7-1for a complete list of operating parameters). The entry will

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-8 Chapter 3

appear as the name of the referenced parameter. Examples of setup
parameters requiring operating parameter entries are select modes
(P300), database columns (P701) and setpoint comparison parameters
(P5150).

CmPar

P515)

To change an operating parameter, key in the desired parameter number
and instance (if required) and press [ENTER]. For example, selecting
P5150 and keying in

Gross

1.3 å

will enter the net weight of scale 2 as the setpoint compare parameter. If
you forget to enter a required instance, the display will prompt you to enter
one.

If you do not know the number of the parameter you wish to specify, you
can press [ENTER] to display the Pick Parm: list. The list starts with
the “Gross” parameter. Pressing the up/down arrow keys will scroll
forwards and backwards through all parameters. Press [ENTER] again to
choose the displayed parameter and enter the instance if prompted.

Clearing an Operating Parameter

If you wish to clear an operating parameter rather than enter a new one,
key in 99 [ENTER] as the operating parameter selection. The display will
show None! as the operating parameter name. Note that some setup
parameters such as the setpoint compare parameter (P5150) require you
to specify an operating parameter before allowing you to exit the setup
mode. If you have not entered a required operating parameter before
exiting, the display will revert to the offending parameter and allow you to
enter one.

GSE Scale Systems

Viewing an Operating Parameter’s Number & Instance

When viewing an operating parameter entry, all you see is the parameter
name. You can toggle the display to show the parameter’s number and
instance by pressing [F2] on a 660 Series Controller, [TARGET] on a 465
or [UNITS] on a 460.

EXITING THE PARAMETER SETUP MODE

You can exit the setup mode from any parameter by pressing [ZERO] to
initiate the exit routine. When exiting you are given the opportunity to
calibrate and save or undo all changes you made while in the setup mode.

Example:

Exiting & Saving Changes

SetUp

CAL
?

Setup Parameters 3-9

EXIT AND SAVE CHANGES

The most common procedure for exit the setup mode is pressing

ú ã å å

to exit and save all changes without calibrating the scale. With each
keystroke you are prompted through the exit sequence (see example:
Exiting & Saving Changes).

EXIT AND UNDO CHANGES

You can exit the setup mode without saving any parameter changes by
pressing [CLR/NO] at the ENTER=SAVE prompt. The display will then
show

ENTER

SETUP

at which point you can press [ENTER] to undo all changes and [ENTER]
again at the ENTER=EXIT prompt to exit without saving.

CANCEL EXIT

Pressing [SELECT] at any time while exiting the setup mode will cancel
the exit routine and revert to the last parameter accessed. If changes
were already saved, returning the setup mode before exiting will not undo
changes.

EXIT ERROR MESSAGES

When you exit the setup mode, parameters are checked to ensure proper
selections were made. For example, selecting even parity and 2 stop bits
is not a valid combination for communication protocol. When you press
[ZERO] to exit the setup mode, an error message is displayed. This type
of error must be corrected before you are allowed to exit. Pressing any
key while the error message is displayed will advance immediately to the
offending parameter and allow you to correct it.

=UNDO

Less critical errors will display a message and wait for you to press a key
to acknowledge the error. A Code39 ƒA/D Cal is an example of this
type of warning.

Non-critical messages such as an indication that the clock speed has
changed are displayed briefly when exiting the setup mode and do not
require acknowledgement to complete the exit process.

A complete list of error messages can be found in Appendix E.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-10 Chapter 3

CALIBRATE DURING EXIT ROUTINE

Every time you exit the setup mode, the first prompt to appear is a request
to calibrate the scale.

ENTER

SETUP

Usually this is only necessary during initial setup or when a change has
been made to a scale parameter such as the full scale capacity. To enter
the calibration mode, press [ENTER] at the calibration prompt. When the
calibration is complete the exit routine will resume with the ENTER=SAVE
prompt at which point both calibration and setup information can be saved.

Refer to chapter 4 for information on the calibration procedure.

=CAL!

DOWNLOADING SETUP PARAMETERS

Once you have completed the scale setup you can download all of the
setup information through any of the communication port to a computer to
create a backup file or to another indicator to “clone” the setup. Refer to
Chapter 14, Information Parameters for the download procedure.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

This section provides a brief description of each setup parameter.
Parameters are presented in numeric order. Refer to this section when
installing options to ensure proper configuration.

SCALE CONFIGURATION

The scale configuration parameters provide the basic configuration for
each enabled scale.

P108: Scale Instance

Sets the scale# in effect when accessing the remainder of the scale
configuration parameters P109 à P145.

P109: Scale Enable

Determines whether the scale in effect at P108 is disabled, saved or
enabled.

When a scale is disabled, the scale is not accessible from the weigh
mode. All of the scale’s setup parameters (P110 à P145) are disabled for
viewing in the setup mode and any previous configuration for that scale is
lost. Calibration data for that scale is also lost along with A/D calibration
values. Therefore, do not disable a scale if you intend to re-enable it.
Instead select the save option.

A saved scale is not accessible from the weigh mode, however all scale
configuration including calibration data and A/D calibration values are
retained. Thus a saved scale can be re-enabled without having to be
reconfigured or re-calibrated.

An enabled scale is a fully active scale accessible from the weigh mode
for viewing via the [SCALE SELECT] key. All weight-based operating
parameters for the enabled scale will be considered valid instances when
using them in macros or when assigning operating parameters to setup
parameters.

P110: Full Scale Capacity

Sets the scale’s full scale capacity. The capacity is entered in terms of the
default units specified at P150. Capacity entries of 100,000 or greater will
be displayed with the ‘kilo’ abbreviation (i.e. 100K).

An overload condition is considered to be 104% of full scale.

P111: Division Size

Selects the scale’s division size. Pressing [CLR] will automatically select
the nearest division size less than or equal to 10,000 based on the
capacity selected at P110. A warning message is displayed if you select a
division size that exceeds 25,000 divisions.

P112: Zero Track Divisions

GSE Scale Systems

Selects the number of zero tracking divisions to a resolution of 0.1
divisions. For example, an entry of 35 will be accepted as ±3.5 divisions of
zero tracking. If the live weight on the scale remains within the zero

Setup Parameters 3-25

tracking range for a period of time specified by the zero track delay (P113),
then the weight is tracked to center-of-zero.

Note that when the weight on the scale falls within the zero tracking range,
the weight is not displayed providing a visual indication that zero tracking
is in effect.

P113: Zero Track Delay

Selects the zero track time delay to a resolution of 0.1 seconds. For
example, an entry of 15 will be accepted as 1.5 seconds.

P114: Motion Divisions

Selects the number of motion divisions to a resolution of 0.1 divisions. For
example, an entry of 35 will be accepted as ±3.5 divisions of motion. If the
live weight on the scale remains within the motion range for a period of
time specified by the motion delay (P115), then the weight is considered to
be stable.

Note that when the weight on the scale is considered to be in motion, the
units will be not visible on the display. The units will be displayed once the
scale becomes stable.

P115: Motion Delay

Selects the motion time delay to a resolution of 0.1 seconds. For example,
an entry of 25 will be accepted as 2.5 seconds.

P116: Digital Filter

Selects the degree of A/D filtering used in calculating weight-based
parameters. The longer the filter duration, the more stable the weight will
appear. However, increasing the filter duration will also result in a slower
response to rapidly changing weights and may therefore be undesirable in
applications that require a prompt and accurate response to weight
fluctuations. Auto-filter selections (identified as ‘sA’) can be used in such
situations to provide a stable reading (heavy filter) when weight changes
are small and switch to a light filter when the rate of change in weight
increases.

P117: Display Update Rate

Selects the display update time delay to a resolution of 0.1 seconds. For
example, an entry of 5 will be accepted as 0.5 seconds. The display
update rate does not provide any filtering effects. It can be thought of as a
shutter, controlling how often the display is updated to view the current
weight value.

P118: Zero Range

Selects the amount of weight as a percentage of full scale that can be
zeroed out using the [ZERO] key.

P119: Linearization

Enables the five-point linearization feature used during load cell
calibration.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-26 Chapter 3

P122: Return-to-Zero

Selects a weight threshold as a percentage of full scale below which the
gross weight must fall before another accumulation can be performed.

P124: Count Resolution

Selects the internal count resolution used in determining the quantity.
Normally this is set to zero (0) which uses the maximum internal resolution

when determining the quantity. However, when displaying a very large
count of very light pieces, the display may appear unstable. Decreasing
the count resolution will increase the count division size, thus making the
count appear more stable.

P125: Count Adjustment Factor

Assigns a conversion factor to the number of additional pieces that can be
added and still ensure the required accuracy is met. For example, if the
adjustment factor is 1.0 and the display reports you can add up to 200
additional pieces after performing a sample, changing the adjustment
factor to 0.1 would allow you to add up to 2000 pieces – changing the
adjustment factor to 10.0 would only allow you to add up to 20 pieces.

P126 – P130: Multi-Range

Configures the operation of the multi-range feature (see page 5-17).

P131 – P134: Units

Assigns the units selectable via the [UNITS] key from the weigh mode.
The units assigned at P131 will become the power-up units for the scale
presently specified at P108. Three additional units can be assigned at
P132 à P134 for access via the [UNITS] key.

P135: Rate Measurement Period

Assigns the rate measurement period (RMP) over which the rate of weight
change is averaged. For example, an entry of 2.5 will result in a 2.5
second rate averaging period. Thus, every 1/60th of a second (the A/D
conversion rate) the rate reported at 23P will be updated to reflect the
average rate over the last 2.5 seconds (150 readings). A longer the RMP
will yield a more stable the rate display but will be slower to respond to
rapid changes in rate.

P136: Rate Time Unit

Sets the time measurement criteria for calculating the rate (i.e.
rate/second, rate/minute, rate/hour).

P142: Center-of-Zero Annunciator

GSE Scale Systems

Enables the center-of-zero annunciator. In multi-scale applications,
disabling the center-of-zero annunciator will allow you to view the scale
number when the weight is at center-of-zero.

STATUS

The status parameters allow renaming of the status word transmitted when
using operating parameter 97P.

Setup Parameters 3-27

P143 – P147: Status Name

Assigns the transmitted text of the status parameter (97P) for overload,
underload, motion, stability, underload and error (bad A/D) status at P143
à P147 respectively. Pressing [CLR] without an entry in process will
restore the default status name.

UNITS

The units parameters are used to assign the default units of measure and
provide custom unit configuration.

P150: Default Units

Selects the scale’s default units of measure. All weight-based parameter
values are stored in terms the default units.

P151 – P154: Custom Units

Configures up to two (2) custom units of measure. P151 and P153 are
used to assign the name for custom unit 1 and custom unit 2 respectively.
P152 and P154 are the conversion factors for custom unit 1 and custom
unit 2 respectively. The conversion factor is a conversion from the default
units specified at P150.

TARE FUNCTIONS

The tare functions are used to enable the negative tare and tare rounding
features.

P162: Negative Tare

Enables the entry and use of negative tare values.

P163: Tare Rounding

Enables tare rounding. When enabled, the tare value is stored internally
to the display resolution. This is done to ensure that the addition of
multiple tare and net values will yield the correct sum when compared to
the displayed values. When disabled, the tare value is stored to a higher
precision and may result in a discrepancy between the accumulation of
tare and net values as compared to the displayed values.

ANALOG OUTPUT

The analog output parameters provide configuration of the analog output
modules.

P170: Analog Output Instance

Sets the analog output# in effect when accessing the remainder of the
analog output configuration parameters P171 à P177.

P171: Analog Output Enable

Enables the analog output currently specified at P170.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-28 Chapter 3

P172: Output Parameter

Assigns the operating parameter that the analog output will track.

P173: Full Scale Output

Assigns the full scale analog output. If set to “None!” the full scale
capacity assigned at P110 is assumed. To specify a different full scale
value, assign a variable to P173. Then, assign the desired full scale value
to the assigned variable. It is advisable to configure the variable for auto­save at P684 to ensure the value is retained during power loss.

P174: Zero Offset

Assigns the zero offset for the analog output. If set to “None!” the full zero
offset is assumed to be zero (0). To specify a different zero offset value,
assign a variable to P174. Then, assign the desired zero offset value to
the assigned variable. It is advisable to configure the variable for auto­save at P684 to ensure the value is retained during power loss.

P175: Output Signal Range

Assigns the signal range for the analog output. If set to “None!” the signal
range is assumed to be the maximum allowable output (10V or 20mA). To
specify a different signal range value, assign a variable to P175. Then,
assign the desired signal range value to the assigned variable. It is
advisable to configure the variable for auto-save at P684 to ensure the
value is retained during power loss.

If the output signal range is specified to be 5 for a 0-10VDC output, then
the maximum output will be linearized between 0VDC (with no zero offset)
and 5VDC at full scale. If the output signal range is specified to be 16 for
a 4-20mA output, then the maximum output will be linearized between
4mA (with no zero offset) and 16mA at full scale.

P176: Default Output in Setup Mode

Selects the analog output signal level when entering the setup mode.
When you enter the setup mode, the A/D conversion process and all
weight calculations are suspended. Thus the analog output can no longer
track the value of a weight-based parameter.

Select Max to generate the maximum analog output signal while in the
setup mode (10V or 20mA).

Select Min to generate the minimum analog output signal while in the
setup mode (0V or 0mA or 4mA).

Select Same to keep the analog output at the same level it was at
immediately prior to entering the setup mode.

P177: Output Signal Type

Selects the analog output signal type (0-10VDC, 0-20mA or 4-20mA).

COUNTING

GSE Scale Systems

The counting parameters provide configuration of the counting feature.

Setup Parameters 3-29

P179: Count Enable

Enables the counting feature and makes P124, P125 and P180 à P189
available for configuration. It also makes all of the counting operating
parameters available as valid parameter selections.

P180: Auto Sample Enable

Enables the auto sample feature. When the auto sample feature is in
effect, a quantity will be automatically calculated upon stability after adding
the sample.

P181: Auto Enhance Enable

Enables the auto enhance feature. When the auto enhance feature is in
effect, adding additional pieces will result in a recalculation of the APW
upon stability, providing the number of pieces added did not exceed the
accuracy requirement. The APW is continually enhanced based on a
larger sample size without the need for counting additional pieces.

P182: Default Sample Size

Sets the default sample size.

P183: Required Accuracy

Selects the accuracy requirement for sampling and auto enhancement.

P184: Accuracy Display Enable

Enables the accuracy display. When enabled, the calculated accuracy of
the current sample will be shown on the display.

P185: Pre-Sample Scale

Selects the scale# to be automatically selected every time a sample
routine is initiated.

P186: After-Sample Scale

Selects the scale# to be automatically selected after a sample routine is
completed.

P187: Sample Filter

Selects the filter setting to be used when performing a sample operation
(separate from P116).

P188: Enforce Sample Accuracy

Enables sample accuracy enforcement. If the required accuracy specified
at P183 is not achieved during a sample routine, the sample will not be
accepted. More pieces will be required to complete the sample routine.

P189: Sample Motion Divisions

Selects the number of motion divisions to be used during a sampling
routine (separate from P111) to a resolution of 0.1 divisions. For example,
an entry of 15 will be accepted as ±1.5 divisions of motion.

3-30 Chapter 3

COMMUNICATION PORTS

The communication port parameters provide comm port configuration.

P199: Serial Port Instance

Sets the communication port# in effect when accessing the remainder of
the serial port configuration parameters P200 à P211.

P200 – P204: Protocol

Selects the comm port’s communication protocol. The port’s protocol must
match that of the connected device.

P205: Receive Mode

Selects the comm port’s receive mode.
If the port is disabled, all received data is ignored
If the port is set to standard receive, all receive characters are processed

normally.
If the port is set to interpret, all received characters are screened through

the input interpreter (P217 à P224) before being used or discarded.
If the port is set for Modbus, all received characters are processed as

Modbus protocol. Enabling Modbus at P205 makes P209 à P211
available for configuration.

If the port is set for selection 4 à 250, a received character will invoke
macro 4 à 250 respectively.

P206: Transmit Mode

Selects whether or not a transmission will be delayed when the transmit
buffer becomes full.

If set to delay, the transmission will be put on hold until the transmit buffer
empties to the point where handshaking is asserted.

If set to abort, the transmission will be immediately aborted once the
transmit buffer becomes full.

P207 – P208: Transit / Receive Buffer Size

Sets the size of the transmit and receive buffers at P207 and P208
respectively.

P209: Modbus Address

Selects the Modbus address. P205 must be set for Modbus for this
parameter to be available.

GSE Scale Systems

P210: Modbus Mode

Selects Modbus ASCII or RTU mode. P205 must be set for Modbus for
this parameter to be available.

P211: Modbus Word

Selects the Modbus word format. HiLo will transmit a Modbus high byte
followed by the low byte, LoHi will reverse the order.

Setup Parameters 3-31

INPUT INTERPRETER

The input interpreter parameters provide configuration of each
communication port’s input interpreter. P205 of the communication port
setup must be set to “interpret” or have been over-ridden by the %H macro
command for P217 à P224 to take effect.

Refer to 8-48 for a more complete definition of the input interpreter
configuration.

P217: NULL Character Enable

Enables the use of a null character in an input string. If enabled, any null
character included in an input will be converted to a US control code
(0x1F).

P218: Receive Termination Character

Selects the receive termination character for all line type input interpreters.
Received data will not be interpreted until the termination character is
received.

P219: Input Interpreter Instance

Sets the interpreter# in effect when accessing the remainder of the input
interpreter configuration parameters P220 à P224.

P220: Interpreter Name

Assigns a name to the input interpreter for documentation purposes.

P221: Interpreter Type
Selects whether the interpreter is a character type or line type.

P222: Line Interpreter Entry Table

Begins the input interpreter table for line-type interpreters.

P223: Interpreter Character

Assigns the interpreter character for character-type interpreters.

P224: Interpreter Macro#

Assigns the macro to be invoked upon receiving a valid interpreter
character/string.

NUMERIC PARAMETER FORMATTING

The numeric parameter formatting parameters set the data format for
transmitting numeric data.

P240: Minimum Transmit Width

Assigns the minimum number of character to send when transmitting
weight data. If the number of digits that make up the weight is less than
the minimum transmit width, the number is left-padded with spaces to
make up the difference.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-32 Chapter 3

P241: Sign Justification

Selects whether the polarity sign will appear right justified (to the
immediate left of the most significant digit) or left justified (in the left-most
position of the data field) when transmitted.

For example, assuming a minimum transmit width of 8 specified at P240,
the number –10.25 would be transmitted as

-10.25

with left justification, and

- 10.25

with right justification.
Note that with right justification, the left-most space or padded zero (0) will

be replaced with the polarity sign. Thus if you wish to maintain space for
eight digits in the data field, you must specify a minimum transmit width of
nine (9).

NETWORKING & REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS

The networking parameters configure an indicator’s network address.
Remote communication parameters configure communication to a remote
display, other indicators used in the remote display mode and other
devices requesting display information.

P250: Network Enable

Enables network addressing and makes P251 available for configuration
provided P205 is not set for Modbus.

P251: Network Address

Assigns the network address for the indicator. Note that the network
address is assigned as a single ASCII byte value. An entry of ‘4’ does not
refer to the actual number four (4), rather it is and ASCII ‘4’ or an <EOT>
control code. If you want the indicator’s address to be the number four (4),
you would have to enter the address as 52 (the ASCII value of 4). Refer to
Appendix B for a list of ASCII character values.

P290: Echo Display

Selects the communication port# to be used to echo the displayed data to
a remote indicator or other serial device. Once a port is chosen, display
data will begin echoing immediately without requiring you to save changes
and exit the setup mode.

P291: Echo Start Character

Assigns the start character that signifies the beginning of echoed display
data.

P292: Echo End Character

GSE Scale Systems

Assigns the end character that signifies the ending of echoed display data.

Setup Parameters 3-33

P293: Remote Display Enable

Selects the type of remote display connected to the optional remote
display serial bus module.

P294: Remote Display Backlight Enable

Enables the LCD remote display backlight.

WEIGH MODE PARAMETERS

The weigh mode parameters assign the order in which operating
parameters are selected for viewing in the weigh mode via the [SELECT]
key.

P300 – P309: Mode Selections

Assigns the operating mode selectable via the [SELECT] key from the
weigh mode. The parameter assigned at P300 will become the power-up
mode for the scale.

ACCESS CODES

The access code parameters assign alternate user-defined access codes
for entering the setup mode and calibration mode. See page 3-5 for
complete details in using PIN numbers.

P400: Personal Identification Number

Assigns a custom PIN number as the setup mode access code.

P401: Quick Calibration Access Number

Assigns a custom PIN number as the quick calibration access code.

P402: Limited Access Number

Assigns a custom PIN number as the setup mode limited access code.

OIML

The OIML parameters are used to configure the indicator for alternate
language character sets and for compliance with OIML regulations. See
page 6-2 for complete details on OIML configuration.

P410: OIML Enable

Enables OIML operation.

P411: Language Character Set

Selects the language for the ASCII character set. Selecting alternate
languages will result in various display character substitutions as shown in
Table 6-4 on page 6-6.

P412: Preset Enable

Enables the preset status identifier for manually entered tare and
accumulation values.

60 Series Technical Reference Manual

3-34 Chapter 3

VFD / LCD DISPLAY SETUP

The VFD/LCD display setup parameters define the operation of the
standard displays.

P420: Standard VF Display Mode

Selects the operation of the standard 7-segment VF display and control
the backlighting of the LCD.

If set to ON, the VFD will always remain on with the intensity set at P423.
The LCD backlight will also remain on provided the backlight is enabled at
P294.

If set to OFF, the VFD will always remain off with the intensity set at P424.
The LCD backlight will also remain off regardless of the backlight setting at
P294.

If set to AUTO, the VFD will remain on with the intensity set at P423 as
long as the scale does not become stable within the number of divisions
set at P421 for the length of time specified at P422. This condition will
also maintain the LCD backlight. Once stability is achieved within the
parameters of P421 and P422, the VFD will turn off with the intensity set at
P424. In the case of the LCD, the backlight will turn off. This serves as a
power saving feature when the indicator is being powered by battery. Use
of this feature may also extend the life of the VFD.

P421: Weight Threshold Divisions

Selects the number of divisions required to yield a stable condition for
P420.

P422: Time-out

Selects the time-out period required to yield a stable condition for P420.

P423 – P424 Display Brightness (7-segment VFD only)

Selects the degree of VFD brightness when the display is on (P423) and
off (P424).

P425: 4X20 VF / LCD Display Enable

Enables the 4X20 VF display for displaying the auto-update information
normally sent to the 7-segment VFD. This parameter is normally enabled
only for the model 661 where the 7-segment display is not present and
there is no other means of displaying the auto-update information.

When an LCD display is installed, it is auto-detected by hardware. This
will result in P425 being automatically set to LCD Always. It will not be
possible to over-ride this setting as long as the LCD is installed.

P430: LCD Contrast (LCD only)

Selects the power-up contrast setting for the LCD display. Pressing [CLR]
will restore the default contrast setting.

GSE Scale Systems

The LCD contrast can also be set at power-up without accessing the setup
mode. Refer to the section on LCD Contrast Adjustment on page 2-27.

Setup Parameters 3-35

NTEP

The NTEP parameter is used to aid in ensuring compliance with NTEP
regulations. See page 6-8 for complete details on NTEP configuration.

P440: NTEP Enable

Enables NTEP operation.

KEYPAD

The keypad parameters are used to assign the type of keypad in use and
sets the keypress characteristics.

P450: Keypad Selection

Selects the type of keypad (number of keys) installed.
The keypad selection can also be set at power-up without accessing the

setup mode. Refer to the section on Keypad Configuration on page 2-28.

P451: Keypad Repeat Rate

Selects the speed at which a held key will repeat its keypress.

P460: Beeper Volume

Selects the volume of the beeper when a key is pressed.

TIME & DATE

DSD CONFIGURATION

DSD parameters are used to configure the Data Storage Device (DSD)
feature. Refer to page 6-13 for a complete description of DSD operation.

P590: DSD Enable

Enables the Data Storage Device feature (DSD) and provides access to
the other DSD parameters (P591 à P595)

Enabling DSD will override P806 to redefine the [ID] key to invoke the
DSD Menu. It will also redefine P205 as the DSD receive mode for the
specified DSD communication port.

! When enabling or disabling DSD, you will be prompted to clear the

DSD database records before the change is allowed. Be sure to
download any stored data before proceeding.

P591: DSD Serial Port

Selects the communication port to be used for DSD transmissions.
The usage of the DSD port selected at P591 can be temporarily

overridden by usage of the %H macro command. If the selection is turned
off, then no DSD transmits or receives will occur. If the port number is
changed, then the new port will be used.

Nothing prevents other indicator transmissions from being sent over the
DSD port. No other processing of received data will occur on this port.

Note that if a comm port selected is programmed as receive disabled,
selecting it does not turn the port on, no data will be received.

P592: DSD Receive Character

Specifies a single character used to create a row in the DSD database
when received on the DSD communication port.

P593: DSD Custom Transmit

Specifies a custom transmit used to automatically transmit DSD data after
a row has been created in the DSD database. The custom transmit
specified will not allow non-DSD parameter entries. Transmission will be
motion delayed by virtue of the stored data row. The custom transmit
communication port can be specified at P991.

P594: DSD Maximum Number of Rows

Specifies the maximum number of DSD data rows that can be stored in
the database. An attempt to store a record in a full database will result in
a 1 second OVER-WRITE warning message indicating that the oldest
record will be deleted before storing the new data row.

P595: DSD Number of Warning Rows

GSE Scale Systems

Specifies the number of unused rows at which point a 1 second warning
message will be displayed. For example, if the maximum number of rows
is 1000 and the number of warning rows is 100, then a warning message
will be displayed for every data row stored after the 900th record. The
maximum number of warning rows is 999.

Setup Parameters 3-37

PARAMETER RENAMING

The parameter renaming parameters provide the ability to rename various
operating parameters.

P600 – P646: Rename Parameters

CALIBRATION

The weight indicator to load cell(s) is calibrated by establishing zero (no
load) and span (known test load) reference points. There are two ways to
access the calibration menu, directly from the weight mode using the
Quick Calibration procedure, or upon exiting the setup mode.

QUICK CALIBRATION

Once all setup parameters are configured, the Quick Cal procedure is the
easiest way to access the calibration routine. Typically used for re­calibration, Quick Cal can be accessed directly from the weigh mode
without entering the setup mode.

Changing the Quick Cal Access Code

The default Quick Cal access code can be changed at P401 of the setup
mode. Access the setup mode (see Accessing The Parameter Setup
Mode on page 3-3), then key in 401 [SELECT] to access the Quick
Calibration Access Number parameter. If P401 displays QCAL None!,
then the default access code is in effect. Otherwise the custom code will
be displayed. To enter a new Quick Cal access code, key in the new code
and press [ENTER]. To restore the default Quick Cal access code, press
[CLR].

The Quick Cal access code consists of up to five alpha-numeric
characters. Alpha characters may be entered through the front panel (see
Character Entry on page 5-6). Alpha characters should not be included in
the access code unless an alpha keyboard is used to access the
calibration routine. Although it is possible to scroll in the code from the
front keypad, characters are not viewable during entry.

CALIBRATION UPON EXITING SETUP MODE

You should calibrate the scale system after making changes to the setup
parameters, especially after setting the capacity and division size.

Every time you exit the setup mode, the prompt ENTER=CAL! is
displayed. Press [ENTER] at this prompt to access the calibration routine
(see example: Calibration When Exiting Setup). Changes to parameters
and calibration are saved upon exiting the calibration routine.
