About Hardy Manuals Every Hardy Installation and Operation manual is
organized into easily referenced chapters, that are
almost always the same:
• Chapter 1 - Provides an introduction to the
instrument and an Overview of the equipment and its capabilities.
• Chapter 2 - Provides a complete list of
Specifications.
• Chapter 3 - Contains information needed to
install the HI 1746-WS (both standard and
optional equipment) and the HI 215IT series
Junction Box.
• Chapter 4 - Provides complete hardware
Configuration instructions for setting dip
switches and jumpers.
• Chapter 5 - Pertains to the firmware/soft-
ware Setup and preparation procedures to
calibrate and operate the instrument.
• Chapter 6 - Provides all Calibration
instructions.
• Chapter 7 - Pertains to the Operating Pro-
cedures of the HI 1746-WS.
• Chapter 8 - Pertains to the Troubleshoot-
ing procedures for repair of the instrument.
Hardy Instruments hopes that this manual meets your
needs for information and operation. All corrections
or suggestions for improvements of this manual are

Description The HI WS100 Configuration Software is a program
that enables the user to configure a remote HI 1746WS Weigh Scale Module. The HI 1746-WS Weigh

system to be calibrated electronically without using
certified test weights which equal the systems load
capacity. A C2 weighing system consists of up to
eight (8) C2 load sensors, a junction box, interconnect
cable and an instrument with C2 capabilities such as
the HI 1746-WS Weight Scale Module. All Hardy
Instruments C2 certified load sensors contain digital
information detailing its unique performance characteristics. If the system is fitted with C2 type load cells
the HI WS100 software displays the serial numbers
programmed into each load cell. From the serial numbers the operator can look up the parameters of each
loadcell by going to the Hardy Instruments Internet
Site. http://www.hardyinst.com

is a system diagnostics
utility which continuously monitors the weighing system (with up to 4 load sensors) for possible malfunctions. For full functionality the HI 215IT junction box
(J Box) should be used. Full IT functionality allows
the operator to rapidly troubleshoot a weighing system from the HI 100WS Configuration Software,
Parameters Edit Display. The test are:
• Loadcell Impedance - The user can see the
impedance determined at calibration (Base
R), the impedance found during the test
(Read R), and the test result (Good or Bad).
also shown are the volts at the loadcells at
calibration (Sense V), and the current going
to the load cells at the time of the reading.
• RTZ - (Return to Zero) This test gives a
pass/fail on whether there is a zero load. If
you have a “J Box”, indi vidual load cell s can
be tested. If you do not have a :”J Box” the
test is done on the combined loadcells.

HI WS100 CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
• DVM - (Digital Volt Meter) If you have a “J
Box”, the voltage outputs from the individual loadcells can be read. If you do not have
a “J Box” the voltage is a combined voltage
output from all loadcells in the system.
• System Test - If you have a “J Box” you
can read the weight being read on individual
load cells and the internal reference.
Weighing System Tests - Optional
Requires the HI 215IT Junction Box. This te st i s u sed
to diagnose drifting or unstable weight reading problems. The Weighing System Test does the following:
1. Disconnects the controller and engages an internal reference signal to see if the problem is within
the instrument.
1. Disconnects the load sensors and engages an
internal (in the junction box) reference signal to
see if the cable between the instrument and the
Junction Box is causing the problem.
2. Reads the weight of each load sensor to s ee if the
load sensor might be causing the problem.
The ability to read the weight seen by each individual
load sensor allows use of this test to make cornering,
leveling and load sharing adjustment s to the weighing
system.

General Introduction to Chapter 2
Operating System Requirements
Minimum Hardware Requirements
All the information in Chapter 2 pertains to the hardware and software requirements for HI WS100 Configuration Software. These requirements are the
minimum requirements for loading and operating HI
WS100 Configuration Software. Check to see if the
personal computer on which you want to install HI
WS100 Configuration Software, meets these requirements. It is very important that the user be familiar
with this section before installing or operating this
software.
HI WS100 Configuration Software runs on the following operating systems:
• Windows NT 4.0/2000
• Windows 95/98
HI WS100 Configuration Software requires
the following hardware:
• CPU - Pentium® 133 MHz or better
• 3 MB free space on your hard drive
•RAM - 16 MB
• Monitors - SVGA, configured for 640 x 480
resolution or better
• Floppy Drive - 3.5”, 1.44 MB drive or better
NOTE: The HI WS100 must run in conjunction with Allen
Bradley’s RS LINX or RS LINX LITE therefore the HI
WS100 hardware requirements are in addition to
hardware requirements for RS LINX or RS LINX
LITE.
