2.5.1 Sources of Electrical Interference
Ensure that the HI 6200 is protected from sources of electrical interference. The following
table provides examples of electrical interference.
Potential Source Description
Wall outlets Power outlets for building maintenance and janitorial equipment, such as
vacuum cleaners and floor buffers, must be wired from circuit breakers on a
power panel separate from the computer system panel. The ground wires from
these outlets must connect to the normal building distribution panel and not to
the system ground. If a separate power source and separate ground are not
provided, maintenance and janitorial equipment can induce electrical noise
that can affect operation of the HI 6200. Your electrician can verify whether
maintenance outlets are on separate panels.
Lightning In geographical areas subject to lightning storms, you may want install
lightning protection for your HI 6200. The principles of lightning protection and
personnel safety are described in the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) Handbook.
Electromagnetic interference Electromagnetic interference can cause various problems. The HI 6200 is
designed to reduce its susceptibility to radiated and conducted interference. A

Topics:
Initial Setup (page 24)
This chapter describes how to set up the
HI 6200 prior to initial use.
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 23
Chapter 3 – Initial Setup
3.1 Initial Setup
The following steps describe the minimum configuration procedures to perform when setting
up the HI 6200 for the first time. Perform these procedures in the order shown.
For detailed descriptions of scale parameters and how to use them when setting up a scale
system, see Chapter 5.
1. Choose a calibration method: C2 OR Hard Cal (not both).
Recommended Method: Perform C2 – Electronic Calibration:
a. Remove all live weight from the scale. Leave all dead load weight, like vessels,
mixers, etc. on the scale.
b. Press Do C2 Cal.
c. Place a verification weight on the scale to ensure the weight reading matches and that
calibration is successful.
Alternate Method: Perform Hard Cal- Traditional
a. Traditional Calibration requires a zero point and the physical placement of test weights
on the scale. To set the Zero Value, if all “live load” weight is removed from the Scale,
the Zero Value should be 0.00. If any weight is on the scale when setting this value,
the weight must be equal to the amount of load on the scale.
b. Wait 12 seconds or more.
c. Click in the Ref Weight text field and enter the reference weight you want. In our
example, we entered 0 lbs. If you want the reference weight to be 5.0 lbs., enter 5.0.
d. Click the Do Cal Low button to do the Trad Cal Zero. A “Cal Completed OK” message
appears briefly if the calibration was successful. An Error number appears if the
calibration was not successful. See the Error list in Chapter 8 for help in correcting the
error.
e. To set the Span Weight, place a certified test weight on the scale.
f. In the Span Weight text field, enter the amount of live load weight placed on the scale.
g. Click the Do Cal High button. A “Cal Completed OK” message appears briefly if the
calibration was successful.
h. An Error message appears if the calibration was not successful. See the error list in
Chapter 8, for help in correcting errors.
i. Step 9. The scale is now calibrated

a. First, select the number of Cal Points necessary to accommodate for non-linearity
that can’t be mechanically corrected in the system. Users that have previously
performed a Calibration or set the span weight value using traditional calibration, will
see that value populated as the highest number of Cal Points selected (for example,
point 3-5 depending on your instrument.).
b. Perform each calibration step by step from Cal Point 1 to the next point Weight (e.g.
Cal Point 2 then Cal Point 3) until you reach your last selected point
c. The system will be calibrated with multiple points, providing the most accurate
method for a non-linear calibration.
Note: Multi-Point Calibration is only available through the Webserver, not the panel display.

4.3.6 Modbus
Modbus is an application-layer messaging protocol that supports client/server
communications between devices connected on different types of buses or networks. All
HI 6200 series units have Modbus TCP built-in. To have the instrument communicate
through Modbus-TCP, use the touch screen or web browser to configure the HI 6200 for
Modbus TCP.
If you do not have a Modbus PLC available to test the Modbus communications, download
the Hardy Modbus-Link client software from the Hardy website to test communications with
the HI 6200 instrument. The package communicates with the HI 6200 only and is not a full
communications package. If you encounter problems with this test, contact Hardy Customer
Service.
Modbus services are specified by function codes that are elements of MODBUS
request/reply PDUs. MODBUS is implemented for the HI 6200 using TCP/IP over Ethernet.
In this client/server configuration, the client is the module requesting data and the server is
the module providing the data.
Note: MODBUS is locat
ed at level 7 of the OSI model and accessed at a reserved
system port 502 on the TCP/IP stack. It supports communication with up to 10
different hosts (sockets).

Command Echo, Command Status,
Parameter ID, and Parameter Value match closely the first four variables in the
output table in Table 4-6.
Command Echo echoes the command from the output table. This allows the user to ensure
that the correct command has been executed and that the command status value is valid.
Command Status and Sample Counts returns the command status of the command being
run and the Counts from 0 – 255 repeat. The value returned in the lower byte of the register
is the status code for the command. This code is one of the following values:
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 51
Chapter 4 – Ways to Set Scale Parameters
A zero indicating the command passed.
A value of 0xFF indicating the command is in process.
An error code indicating the reason the command failed (see Table 4-5).
The upper 8 bits of the r
egister are a cyclic “measurement update count,” which increment
by 1 (one) each time a new measurement value is taken, following a 0 to 255 then repeat
cycle. If this value remains the same in two consecutive reads from the instrument, the
communication or the measurement function has failed and appropriate action must be
taken.
Parameter ID is an echo of the value sent in the output table. Parameter Value is the
current value for the specified Parameter ID. This parameter value may ether be an integer
or in floating point format depending on which Parameter ID is specified.
Instrument Status is a 16-bit value that provides the current state of all the major
functions within the instrument. They reflect the status of all the major functions and should
be used with the “measurement update count” to determine the health of the instrument.
Net Weight and Gross Weight values are always provided.

Topics:
Pre-Calibration Procedures
(page 55)
Calibration Setup Procedures
(page 56)
Calibrating the Scale (page
60)
This chapter provides the recommended calibration
procedure for the HI 6200 Weight Processor. For
the instrument to work properly, it must be
calibrated prior to operation, and then verified
periodically or when not in use for extended periods
of time. We recommend a scale verification rather
than a calibration. Be sure to follow all the
procedures completely to ensure that the weights
read by the instrument are accurate.
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 54
Chapter 5 – Setting Scale Parameters
5.1 Pre-Calibration Procedures
1. Determine whether the load sensors are installed properly. See your load sensor’s
installation manual for proper installation instructions.
2. A down arrow on some sensors and cells shows the correct direction of the applied load.
If the arrow points in the wrong direction, reposition the load sensor so the arrows face
down.
3. Check for binding on the load sensor, mount, or other parts of the weighing system.
WARNING: BINDING ON A SCALE/VESSEL OR LOAD CELL DOES NOT
ALLOW THE LOAD SENSOR FREE VERTICAL MOVEMENT AND MAY
PREVENT THE INSTRUMENT FROM RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL ZERO
REFERENCE.
AVERTISSEMENT: LIER SUR UNE ÉCHELLE / RÉCIPIENT OU CELLULE DE
CHARGE NE PERMET PAS LA CELLULE DE CHARGE LIBRE CIRCULATION
VERTICALE ET PEUT EMPÊCHER L'APPAREIL DE REVENIR AU POINT DE
RÉFÉRENCE ZÉRO D'ORIGINE.
4. Load sensors must be mounted so that 100% of the load (Vessel w/Contents) passes
vertically through all the sensors comprising the system. Verify that nothing is binding the
load sensors. This means that nothing is draped across the scale/vessel or the load
sensor, such as a hose, electrical cord, tubes, or other objects.
5. Verify that nothing is in contact with the scale/vessel other than service wires and piping
that have been properly mounted with flexible connections. Flexible pipes are not to be
used in any other than the horizontal plane and are not to be used to correct pipe
alignment problems. Vertical or at angles other than horizontal will have a negative effect
on the scale’s ability to repeat and provide accurate weight readings.
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 55
Chapter 5 – Setting Scale Parameters
5.2 Calibration Setup Procedures
5.2.1 Unit of Measure
The unit of measure can be set to ounces, pounds, tons, grams, kilograms, or metric tons.
Any weight value input to the module (for example, REFERENCE WEIGHT, SPANWEIGHT)
is in the currently selected units. The unit of measure can be set at any time, not just at
calibration. Setting the unit of measure before calibrating reminds you what unit of measure
is being displayed.
Note: The weigh scale module does not need to be calibrated again after
changing the unit of measure.
5.2.2 Motion Tolerance
Motion Tolerance defines the amount the weight reading needs to change in a 1 second
period of time to make the scale go into MOTION status. If the change over the last 1
second is less than the Motion Tolerance, the scale will not indicate in motion. “Motion
Indicate” means the weight on the scale is currently changing. The scale cannot be
calibrated, tared, or zeroed while in motion.
5.2.3 Zero Tolerance
Zero Tolerance sets the range of weights so that the Zero Command works as an offset of
the calibrated Zero. The amount of weight zeroed off is cumulative. The zero command fails
if the current gross weight plus any previously zeroed amount exceeds the Zero Tolerance.
5.2.4 Auto Zero Tracking
Auto Zero Tracking adjusts for zero weight automatically. This capability allows the module
to ignore material build-up in the weighing system within a preset auto zero tolerance. For
auto zero to work, the current gross weight must be within the auto zero tolerance. The
current gross, plus any previously zeroed weight must be within the Zero Tolerance level
value and the scale must not be in motion. Zero This is not used in all applications and
should be reviewed before use.
Track Enable either enables the Auto Zero tracking if on or disables the Auto Zero if off.
Note: The amount of weight zeroed off is cumulative. The Auto Zero command will
not run if the current gross weight plus any previously zeroed amount exceeds the
zero tolerance value.
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 56
Chapter 5 – Setting Scale Parameters
5.2.5 Auto Zero Tolerance
When Auto Zero Tolerance is entered and Auto Zero Tracking is enabled, any weight within
the entered tolerance of zero and not in motion causes the display to read zero
automatically.
The amount of weight zeroed off is cumulative. The auto zero command does not run if the
current gross weight plus any previously zeroed amount exceeds the zero tolerance or if the
scale is in motion.
5.2.6 Number of Averages
Number of Averages sets the number of weight readings used to compute the displayed
weight. The average is a sliding average so that a new average reading is available for
display at every reading. Setting a very high Number of Averages AND a high
WAVERSAVER setting may slow system performance.
5.2.7 Span Weight
Span Weight is a calibration high reference point derived from an actual measured weight.
Do not confuse Span Weight with the Scale Capacity. If you place a 100 pound weight on
the scale, the Span Weight would be 100 pounds.
5.2.8 Ref Weight
Ref Weight is a calibration low or C2 Cal reference point derived from an actual measured
weight, normally zero.
5.2.9 Gravity Correction
Objects weigh about 0.5% less at the equator than they weigh at each pole because the
force of gravity is less at the equator than at the poles. An object weighing 100 pounds at the
North Pole on a spring scale, for example, weighs 99.65 pounds at the equator. Depending
on the latitude of your location, your scales measure in between.
Table 5-1 shows the gravitation correction factor for a few cities around the world.
Note: Make sure the scale system is clean and ready to receive product. This step
establishes the gross zero reference. You must perform a C2 calibration after
setting the Gravity Correction; otherwise, the correction factor will not work.
In general, if your location is between the 45th parallel and the equator, gravity correction is
greater than 1.0. For example, you add 1.0006 for an error that is .06% because gravity is
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 57
Chapter 5 – Setting Scale Parameters
less at these latitudes. For locations between the 45th parallel and the North or South Pole,
your correction factor is less than 1.0 (for example, .9994 for an error that is -.06%).
Gravity Correction compensates for an object weighing less at the equator than at the North
or South Pole. This allows you to enter the correction factory for your location and apply it to
your C2 calibration. This is not used for the hard calibration.

5.3 Calibrating the Scale
5.3.1 Pre-calibration Procedures
1. Determine whether the load sensors are installed properly. See your load sensor’s
installation manual for proper installation instructions.
2. A down arrow on some sensors and cells shows the correct direction of the applied load.
If the arrow points in the wrong direction, reposition the load sensor so the arrows face
down.
3. Check for binding on the load sensor, mount, or other parts of the weighing system.
WARNING: BINDING ON A SCALE/VESSEL OR LOAD CELL DOES NOT
ALLOW THE LOAD SENSOR FREE VERTICAL MOVEMENT AND MAY
PREVENT THE INSTRUMENT FROM RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL ZERO
REFERENCE.

4. Load sensors must be mounted so that 100% of the load (Vessel w/Contents) passes
vertically through all the sensors comprising the system. Verify that nothing is binding the
load sensors. This means that nothing is draped across the scale/vessel or the load
sensor, such as a hose, electrical cord, tubes, or other objects.
Verify that nothing is in contact with the scale/vessel other than service wires and piping that
have been properly mounted with flexible connections. Flexible pipes are not to be used in
any other than the horizontal plane and are not to be used to correct pipe alignment
problems. Vertical or at angles other than horizontal will have a negative effect on the
scale’s ability to repeat and provide accurate weight readings.

Chapter 5 – Setting Scale Parameters
5.3.2 C2® Calibration
1. Navigate to the C2 menu.
2. Make sure the number of load cells in the Num Devices menu corresponds to the actual
number of C2 devices installed. If the number varies, check that each load cell/point
cable connection is fastened securely and that each load cell/point cable is not broken.
Only Hardy Process Solutions load sensors are capable of C2 (or eCal) calibration.
3. In the Ref Weight text field, enter the reference weight for your application. An empty
scale will use a 0.00 reference weight setting.
4. Enter the Gravity Correction Factor (see the table above), and then enter the
Correction Factor number you selected from the table in the Gravity Correction field that
best corresponds to your location.
5. Click the Do C2 Calibration button. Wait for the results to appear.
6. If the calibration succeeds, Cal completed OK appears and the gross weight will read
your reference value. If the Calibration fails, make sure C2 load cells are being used and
are connected properly. If the system uses one or more non-C2 load cells, calibrate using
a traditional calibration (Hard Cal) process. For more information, see Chapter 6 for
troubleshooting suggestions.
7. Click the Back button in your web browser or use the left arrow key on the front panel
display to return to the main Calibration menus.
5.3.3 Hard Calibration
Hard calibration is the calibration method that uses test weights. We recommend that the
span total 80 to 100% of the scale live load capacity and the weights be distributed uniformly
on/in the scale. Put a load (weight) on the scale or vessel. For a full load test, you can put
80% to 100% of the expected weight you will see in your process on the scale or vessel.
1. Navigate to the Traditional Calibration menu.
2. Make sure the weight reading changes on the display changes in the proper direction.
For example, if the display reads 100 pounds when a 20-pound load is placed on the
vessel or scale, the display should read 120 or other greater value over 100.
– If the display reads 80 pounds after a 20-pound load is placed on the vessel or scale,
the reading is going in the wrong direction and indicates some problem with the
system. See Chapter 6 for corrective action.
– If the display is reading improperly or shows no change, there is something wrong
with the configuration wiring or the load cell.
– If the display changes in the proper direction, remove the weight, and then calibrate
the HI 6200.

6.2 Weighing System Test
The Weighing System test diagnoses drifting or unstable weight-reading problems. For full
utilization, this test requires the HI 6020IT or the HI 6010IT Series Junction Box.
The Weighing System Test achieves this by:
Disconnecting the load sensors and engaging a reference internal to the junction box to
determine whether the cable between the instrument and the Junction Box is causing the
problem.
Reading the weight of each load sensor to see whether the load sensor is causing the
problem.
Reading the weight seen by each individual load sensor, and then making appropriate
cornering, leveling, and load-sharing adjustments to the weighing system.
6.3 Electrical Check Procedures
6.3.1 Load Sensor/Point Input/Output Measurements
The HI 6200 supplies up to 5 VDC excitation to as many as eight 350-Ohm load cells/points
per channel. The expected output from each load cell/point depends on the mV/V rating of
the load cell/point and the weight.
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 64
Chapter 6 – Troubleshooting
For example, a 2mV/V load sensor responds with a maximum of 10 mVDC at the load
sensor’s full weight capacity, which includes the weight of the vessel and the weight of the
product as measured by the load cell/point. Consequently, if the load sensor’s weight
capacity is rated at 1000 pounds, the load sensor will be 10 mVDC at 1000 pounds, 7.5
mVDC at 750 pounds, 5 mVDC at 500 pounds and so on.
A zero reference point will vary from system to system, depending on the “Dead Load” of the
vessel. “Dead Load” is the weight of the vessel and appurtenances only, with no product
loaded. In our example, we will assume the dead load to be 500 pounds.
Note: The operating range for the scale in this example is 5-10 mVDC, with a 500
pound weight range. After zeroing the instrument, the 0 reading refers to the zero
reference point and not absolute 0 mVDC or absolute 0 weight.
Note: Load sensor measurements are checked with a digital voltmeter at the load
cell connector on the front of the module or by using INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN
with a Hardy IT Junction Box. The scale calibration must be completed to enable
IT to work properly.
6.3.2 Load Check
Place a load (weight) on the scale or vessel, and check that the weight reading on the input
table changes in the proper direction.
For example, if the display reads 100 pounds and a 20-pound weight is placed on the vessel
or scale, the display should read 120 or some value over 100. With the display reading 100
Hardy Process Solutions HI 6200 Weigh Processor User Guide 65
Chapter 6 – Troubleshooting
pounds, if a 20-pound load is placed on the vessel or scale and the reading is 80 pounds,
the reading is going in the wrong direction and indicates a problem with the system.
If the display reads improperly or shows no change, something is wrong with the setup. If the
display changes weight in the proper direction, remove the weight and proceed to calibrate
the instrument. Refer to Table 6.1 for help determining the cause of the poor weight reading.
