2CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
This chapter outlines the basic installation of the 60 Series instruments.
Please take the time to review these important guidelines.
IMPORTANT!
The 60 Series indicators do not include an on/off switch, and therefore
must be installed near a power outlet socket that is easily accessible and in
keeping with UL/CSA safety standards.
TABLE-TOP USE
All models excluding the model 663 have been designed with a swivel
bracket, which lets you tilt the instrument face to any desired angle. When
the instrument is placed on a table, the non-slip rubber feet prevent
scratching and slipping across the surface when keys are pressed.
PANEL MOUNT USE
All models excluding the Model 663 are available in panel mount versions.
When properly installed, the units are suitable for washdown environments.
The panel mount version functions identically to the table top version. The
only difference between the two package types is the mechanical aspects of
the enclosure and the positioning of the main board and display. Refer to the
60 Series Technical Reference Manual for further panel mount version
installation procedures and available options.
PERMANENT MOUNTING
Refer to pages 21 - 24 for panel mount cutout and mounting hole
dimensions.
ENVIRONMENT SUITABILITY
60 Series instruments are supplied in a NEMA 4X (IP66) enclosure and may
be used in a washdown environment. Care must be taken to ensure that the
AC power socket outlet is properly protected.
The keypad is made of silicon rubber. It may be cleaned periodically with a
soft damp non-abrasive cloth. The display window is made from a
15
Page 24
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
polycarbonate material, which may scratch due to aggressive cleaning. Care
must be taken to avoid such damage.
Connections from the load cell to the single channel input require gaining
access to J1 inside the sealed enclosure. In addition, peripherals and
options can be interfaced to 60 Series instruments by means of connections
within the enclosure. However, physically accessing the unit may void the
warranty. Refer to the Technical Reference Manual or contact your local
GSE distributor.
Calibrating the unit requires entering the Setup Mode and selecting the
calibration parameters specific to your application needs. Contact your
local GSE distributor for calibration service.

3CHAPTER 3: CALIBRATION
The 60 Series indicators can be calibrated several ways. The following
method is a quick calibration procedure and assumes that the necessary
parameters are selected before the actual calibration is performed (i.e. full
scale value, graduation size, etc.). Your local GSE distributor will normally
set up these parameters.
QUICK CALIBRATION
A certified weight is required to perform a calibration. Serious
inaccuracies could result from using non-certified standards for calibration.
To access calibration on the Model 460:
• From the Weigh Mode press
[ZERO]+[SELECT]
[ZERO] [PRINT] [UNITS] [TARE/ENTER]
To access calibration on all other 60 Series indicators:
• From the Weigh Mode press
[100] [SELECT] [5 4 3 2 1] [ID] [ENTER]
The controller will briefly prompt you with QUICK CAL! And then New
Zero?. If multiple scales are enabled, the controller will prompt you with
Keyin Scl #. Key in the scale number being calibrated and press [ENTER].
Use the [PRINT] and [UNITS] keys to enter the scale number on the Model
460. Refer to Table 2: 460 Key Functions on page 8. After the scale number
is entered the New Zero? prompt will be displayed.
Press the [SELECT] key to toggle through the available calibration
selections, and [ENTER] when the desired calibration method is displayed.
Press [ENTER] to begin calibration when the desired calibration selection is
displayed. Pressing the [CLR] key at any point in the calibration routine will
back you up one step.
23
Page 32
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
The calibration selections are as follows, starting with New Zero?:
• New Zero?
• Last Zero?
• Temp Zero?
• Only Zero?
• Cal Reset
• Known Load Cell
•
NEW ZERO?
New Zero? is the selection for establishing the first or a new calibration. If
New Zero? is selected, the controller displays the dead load (which might
not be in precise units) that is present on the scale. The controller assumes a
“NO LOAD” condition.
Remove the load, and press [ENTER]. As soon as [ENTER] is pressed, a
new zero is established. This is reflected on the main display with the
prompt Adj’g Zero followed by the prompt Keyin CalWt.
At this point, the controller is waiting for the actual calibration value to be
entered. Place the calibration weight on the platform, key in the weight
value, and press [ENTER].
If you key in a cal weight and press [ENTER] without adding any weight
since the last calibration weight, the controller will prompt you to add
CalWT. Add the weight and press [ENTER].
NTERING NUMERIC VALUES
E
Where appropriate, you can use the numeric keypad to enter numeric values.
Use the [PRINT] and [UNITS] keys to enter numeric values on the Model
460. Refer to Table 2: 460 Key Functions on page 8. If an error is made
while entering data, press [CLR] before you press [ENTER]. The controller
will perform the calibration, display the value of the calibration weight, and
prompt CAL OK?. At this point, you can check the accuracy of the
calibration by weight without leaving the Calibration Mode.
• If the calibration was accurate, press [ENTER].
• The controller will prompt you to save the new calibration plus any
other changes you have made. Press [ENTER] twice to save and exit.
24
Page 33
C HAPTER 3:CALIBRATION
• If the calibration is not accurate, press [CLR].
The controller will return to the New Zero? prompt. Repeat the above
steps to calibrate.
If the calibration weight was less than 5% of capacity, or if there was a
large change in the calibration, the controller prompts ReCal Req’d. Press
[ENTER] and repeat the calibration, or press [CLR] to obtain the CAL
OK? prompt as described above and override the re-calibration
requirement.
LAST ZERO?
The Last Zero procedure allows recalibration of the weighing device using
an existing test load. This is especially beneficial when checking high
capacity applications such as tank weighing to minimize the task of placing
and removing test weights.
1. Remove all weight from the scale
2. Press [ZERO] to zero the scale in the weigh mode.
3. Apply the calibration test weight.
4. Access the Calibration Mode (see page 23).
5. Use the [SELECT] key to toggle to Last Zero?.
6. At the Last Zero? prompt, the [ENTER] key is pressed.
7. Key in the calibration weight value in terms of the default calibration
units and press [ENTER]. For the Model 460, use the [PRINT] and
[UNITS] keys to enter numeric values. Refer to Table 2: 460 Key
Functions on page 8.
8. After establishing span, Cal OK? is displayed. Or if Recal ??? is
displayed, repeat the calibration process.
9. Press [ENTER] to save the calibration.
10. At the prompts Save Mods? and Enter = Save are displayed, [ENTER]
is pressed to save the new calibration factors.
11. At the Enter = Exit prompt, [ENTER] is pressed again and the
controller returns to the Weigh Mode.

TEMP ZERO?
Temp Zero? is used to recalibrate without establishing a new zero. In some
applications you might want to perform a calibration without removing the
currently applied load. This is particularly useful in tank weighing
applications where it is both time-consuming and costly to drain the tank
being weighed.
During the calibration procedure, at the Temp Zero? prompt you press
[ENTER]. This action causes the controller to zero the displayed weight
temporarily so additional weight can be added to assure system calibration.
The zero determined during the previous calibration is not affected.
1. Access the Calibration Mode (see page 23).
2. Use the [SELECT] key to toggle to Temp Zero?.
3. At the Temp Zero? prompt, press [ENTER].
The displayed value will zero out.
4. Apply the calibration weight.
5. Key in the value of the calibration weight: for example, 1 0 0 0
[ENTER]. For the Model 460, use the [PRINT] and [UNITS] keys to
enter numeric values. Refer to Table 2: 460 Key Functions on page 8.
The numeric display should show the entered value.
6. Remove the calibration weight. The display should return to zero. If the
display reads as specified, at the Cal OK? prompt press [ENTER]. To
repeat the calibration process, press [CLR], and then repeat steps 2
through 5.
7. Save the newly determined calibration weight: At the Enter = Save
prompt, press [ENTER]
8. To return to the Weighing Mode, at the ENTER = EXIT prompt, press
[ENTER].
ONLY ZERO?
Only Zero is used to establish a new calibration zero without affecting the
span. This is useful for correcting changes to the scale’s dead load, for
example in tank weighing applications where the re-zero parameter (P118) is
set very low in order to prevent inadvertent re-zeroing. A build-up of sludge
can be zeroed out in this manner.

C
AL RESET
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 indicator is
recalibrated and calibration information has been saved.
If Code 02 (under-load) or Code 03 (over-load) is displayed during
calibration, press [CLR] to perform a calibration reset.
When reset, these parameters are adjusted to the lowest possible values.
Contact your GSE Distributor regarding Information Parameters for a more
detailed explanation on the gain factors.
Normally, a Cal Reset is performed if the amplifier is locked in at an
extremely high gain factor and will not allow a new calibration to be
performed.
1. Access the Calibration Mode (see page 23).
2. Press [SELECT] to toggle to the Cal Reset.
27
Page 36
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
Once the Cal Reset is performed, the controller returns to the New Zero?
prompt. Press [SELECT] to toggle to the desired calibration routine.
Following a Cal Reset, a re-calibration should be performed before exiting
the calibration or Setup Modes. The reset will not be saved unless a recalibration is performed and changes are saved.
KNOWN LOAD CELL?
Known Load Cell is used to calibrate without test weights. The exact full
scale mV/V rating must be known for each load cell. All load cells must be
of the same full scale capacity. This procedure works best for hopper scales
where weight is evenly distributed and signal trimming is not required.
1. Access the calibration mode (see page 23).
2. Press [SELECT] to toggle to the Known LCOut routine.
3. Press [ENTER] at the Known LCOut prompt to display #of LC.
The number of load cells specified during the last calibration will also
be displayed. A value of zero (0) indicates that this calibration method
has not yet been performed.
4. Key in the number of load cells and press [ENTER]. For the Model
460, use the [PRINT] and [UNITS] keys to enter numeric values. Refer
to Table 2: 460 Key Functions on page 8.
- or -
Press [ENTER] to accept the displayed value.
5. The display prompts LC#x mVv (where ‘x’ is the load cell number) and
then shows the mV/V value (0.1 Æ 5.0) last entered for this load cell.

29
Page 38
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
check the accuracy of the calibration by weight without leaving the
Calibration Mode.
If the calibration was accurate, press [ENTER]. The indicator will prompt
you to save the new calibration plus any other changes you made. Press
[ENTER] to save, then [ENTER] again to exit. If the calibration is not
accurate, press [CLR]. The indicator will return to the New Zero? prompt.
If the calibration weight is less than 5% of capacity or if there is a large
change in the calibration, the indicator will prompt ReCal Req'd. Press
[ENTER] and you will be returned to the beginning of the calibration
selections, or press [CLR] to obtain the CAL OK? prompt as described
above and override the re-calibration requirement.
A variation of the calibration process is the linearization procedure.
Linearization is useful in improving the absolute accuracy of large-capacity
systems, which often exhibit poor linearity. This feature is documented in
the 60 Series Technical Reference Manual.

Page 39
4CHAPTER 4: COUNTING MODE
The front panel keys on the 60 Series take on different functions depending
on the selected mode. This chapter will define the front panel key operation
for the Counting Mode.
COUNTING MODE (KEY OPERATION)
To activate the counting operation, the indicator must be in the Quantity
mode. To access the Quantity mode on a Model 460, the quantity mode must
be in the selectable modes of instrument operation. Simply press the
[SELECT] key to step through all enabled modes of instrument operation.
The Quantity mode may be accessed directly by pressing [30] [SELECT]
(not available on the Model 460).
SAMPLING TO DETERMINE A PIECE WEIGHT
Although the sampling process may be performed in a number of ways, the
recommended method is to first access the Quantity mode, then place an
empty box or empty container on the scale platform, and press [ENTER].
The first time a sample is performed, the display will read Must Sampl and
press [ENTER]. The indicator will then perform an auto-tare resulting in a
zero net weight. The display will prompt you to Add xx, where the "xx" is
the sample quantity of parts (sample size)—the manufacturer default setting
is 10 pieces. Add the requested number of parts to the scale and press the
[ENTER] key.
If the sample's total weight was sufficient, the piece weight will be
calculated and the sample quantity will be displayed. Otherwise, you may
be prompted to add additional parts. The exact prompts will depend on
whether the auto-enhance and/or minimum accuracy assurance features have
been enabled. The minimum amount of weight required for the sample
routine to meet the selected accuracy requirements for the specified scale
capacity is considered.
If the weight of the sample is un-detectable or barely detectable then the
message Code 32 ADD MORE! is displayed briefly. This will most often
occur when the [ENTER] key is pressed without adding any parts. If the
parts were in fact placed on the scale, either the parts are too light to count
on that capacity platform or a much larger quantity of parts must be hand
counted in order to perform the sample.
31
Page 40
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
EGATIVE SAMPLING TO DETERMINE A PIECE WEIGHT
N
In order to perform a negative sample routine, access the Quantity mode,
place a full or partially full container of parts on the scale, and press
[ENTER].
The indicator will then perform an auto-tare resulting in a zero net weight.
The display will then prompt you to Add xx where the "xx" is the sample
size. In this case, the prompt Add xx actually means take parts from the
container. Proceed to remove the requested number of parts, and then press
the [ENTER] key. If the sample's total weight was sufficient, the piece
weight will be calculated and the sample quantity will be displayed (-10
parts). Otherwise, you may be prompted to take additional parts. The exact
prompts will depend on whether the auto-enhance and/or minimum accuracy
assurance features have been enabled.
If the weight of the sample removed was un-detectable or barely detectable
then the message Code 32 ADD MORE! is displayed briefly. This indicates
that more weight must be removed adding to the overall sample weight.
This occurs most often when the [ENTER] key is pressed without taking out
any parts. If the parts were in fact taken from the scale, either the parts are
too light to count on that capacity platform or a much larger quantity of parts
must be hand counted out in order to perform the sample.
The first method is recommended to avoid the possibility that inappropriate
tare weights may affect the piece weight calculation.
When the Quantity mode is accessed and the residing piece weight value is
“0.00”, the prompt Must Sampl will be displayed. Press the [ENTER] key
to proceed with the sampling to determine a piece weight.
PIECE WEIGHT ENHANCEMENT
The presence of this feature depends on the internal setup of your
controller. It is intended for the accurate counting of extremely light parts.
1. Access the quantity mode.
2. Place an empty container on the platform (optional).
32
Page 41
C HAPTER 4:COUNTING M ODE
3. Press [ENTER]. The indicator tares to a zero net weight. The display
shows the current net weight and the prompt: Add 10.
4. Place the specified number of parts on the scale.
5. Press [ENTER]. The indicator then calculates the piece weight of the
sample parts and momentarily displays the maximum number of parts
which may be added for a piece weight enhancement to occur. The
minimum achieved accuracy is then displayed.
6. If a greater accuracy is desired, add additional parts but not more than
the maximum enhanceable quantity.
7. As soon as motion ceases, the indicator will recalculate the piece weight
and then briefly display the new maximum number of pieces which can
be added and still accurately enhance the piece weight.
8. Repeat as many times as necessary to achieve the desired accuracy.
KNOWN CONTAINER WEIGHT
Place the full container of parts on the weigh platform. At any point in the
counting process, the known weight of a container can be keyed in followed
by the [TARE] key in order to cancel the affect of the container. Make
certain that the weighing units of your entry are consistent with the current
unit selection (lb, kg, etc.)
AUTOMATIC SCALE SELECT (WITH MORE
THAN ONE WEIGHING PLATFORM)
The 60 Series has the capability of automatically selecting a predetermined
scale before and after the sample routine. One or more multi-scale option
cards must be installed for this feature to work.
One scale will be a pre sample and the other will be an after sample. During
operation, press the [ENTER] key and the indicator will automatically select
the predetermined sample scale. The prompt add XX will be displayed.
Place the specified number of pieces on the sample scale and again press
[ENTER]. The average piece weight having been established, the indicator
automatically selects the appropriate “bulk” scale for higher capacity
counting.
33

COUNTING MODE LISTING
The [SELECT] key will advance to the next mode. Alternatively, keying a
mode number then pressing [SELECT] will change the current mode to be
the mode whose number was keyed in. The following six modes are
counting related. Any one of these parameter numbers listed may be printed
out on a ticket.

5CHAPTER 5: ACCUMULATION MODE
60 Series controllers offer three main memory registers into which weighing
data may be accumulated. The three registers are the Gross Total, Net Total
and the Quantity Total.
PERFORMING ACCUMULATIONS
First, enter the desired “Accumulation Mode” either by pressing the
[SELECT] key until one of the Accumulation Modes appears on the display
or key in one of the accumulation parameters directly. Refer to Table 4:
Accumulation Mode Numbers on page 36. Once in an Accumulation Mode,
press [UNITS] + [SELECT] on the Model 460 or [.] [ENTER] on all other
60 Series indicators to add the displayed value to the accumulated total.
Accumulate operations are motion delayed. If motion is occurring when an
accumulation is requested, the Mot'n Delay prompt is displayed until motion
ceases. If motion does not stop, press [CLR] to abort the accumulation.
There are six Accumulation Modes with corresponding Mode Numbers as
shown in Table 4. When an accumulation is made, both the Gross and Net
totals are affected. After an accumulation occurs, these values are frozen at
their new accumulate total values until the Gross Weight returns to zero. The
weight must return to zero before another accumulation is allowed. At that
time, these values again resume their active state. This feature prevents
double accumulations. A CLEAR WGHT prompt appears to warn of such
situations.
INITIALIZING ACCUMULATION TOTALS
The Accumulation Registers may be reset to a new number. This would
permit you to enter a total from the previous day or shift to continue the
accumulation, or to reset the number to “0”. Access the Accumulation Mode
by keying in the single or two-digit mode number from Table 4 and pressing
[SELECT] (not available on the Model 460). If the mode is one of the preprogrammed selectable modes simply toggle to the corresponding mode
using the [SELECT] key. Key in the desired reset value and press
[ENTER]. You will then be prompted to confirm the accumulation
modification by a display of MOD AC? for 1 second followed by ENTER
=MOD. Press [ENTER] to confirm the change or any other key to abort the
modification of the accumulation total.
35
Page 44
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
The [ZERO] + [ENTER] keys on the Model 460 or the [CLR] key on all
other 60 Series may be used to reset both the net and Gross Totals to zero.
The prompt CLEAR ACS? will appear briefly followed by ENTER =CLR!.
Press [ENTER] to complete the clearing or press any other key to abort the
clear operation.

7CHAPTER 7: TIME AND DATE (CLOCK FEATURE)
The 560 and 660 Series indicators include a battery backed time/date
feature. The 460/465 have an optional battery backed time/date module.
Without this option on the 460 Series, the time/date will be reset when
power is lost. This means that when the feature is used, the time and date
does not need to be entered every time the instrument is powered up. The
time/date feature permits printouts with time and day of the week and the
date in many possible formats. Consult with your local GSE distributor or
the 60 Series Technical Reference Manual for more information on time/date
configurations.
In the following discussion, HH is a 2-digit representation for hours, MM
is minutes, SS is seconds, MO is month, DA is day and YR is year. When
the 60 Series controller is powered up, the time and date clock is set to Jan
1, 1970, 00:00:00 am.
VIEWING TIME AND DATE
While in the Weigh Mode, the time and date can be displayed
simultaneously in the dot matrix and main displays. Press [SELECT] on the
Model 460 until the time/date is displayed or [11] [SELECT] on the other
models. The date is then displayed on the large numeric display in the format
"MM.DD.YY" (or DD.MM.YY for international style) and the time is
displayed on the dot matrix display in the format "HH:MM:SS". The time
may be displayed in a 24 or 12-hour format with an "am" or "pm" displayed
as appropriate, depending on the setup of time-date.
ENTERING A NEW TIME AND DATE
(EXCLUDING MODEL 460)
From the weigh mode, press [11] [SELECT] to access the time and date.
Press [ENTER] to invoke the date prompt. A new date is entered by keying
in "MM.DD.YY" (or "DD.MM.YY" if international format was selected)
followed by the [ENTER] key. Month, day and year entries must be
separated by decimal points. Leading zeroes need not be entered. For
example, if you enter "4.1.96" and press [ENTER] the date is set to
04/01/96. If the date is entered improperly, the prompt try m.d.y (or try
d.m.y for international format) is displayed. The word Date will then be
43
Page 52
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
displayed. Press [ENTER] if the date is correct and move to the Time
setting mode.
The new time is entered by keying in "HH.MM.SS" in a 24-hour format.
Hours and minutes entries must be separated by a decimal point. Seconds
entry is optional, and if omitted, they are set to zero. To specify seconds, it
also must be separated from minutes by a decimal point. Leading zeroes
need not be entered. For example, if you enter "8.9.45" and press
[ENTER], the time will be set to 08:09:45; if you enter "15.02" and press
[ENTER] the time is set to 15:02:00. If time is entered improperly, the

8CHAPTER 8: LEGAL-FOR-TRADE
The 60 Series parameter setup does not ensure compliance with legal-fortrade installations as mandated by local weights and measures authorities.
This chapter explains how to configure the 60 Series controllers to comply
with various regulations and describes other features that will make your
controller suitable for installations worldwide.
Legal-for-trade requirements vary by location. Ensure that your controller is
installed in accordance with all local regulations.
OIML AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATION
The International Organization of Legal Metrology is an inter-governmental
body, which harmonizes the national metrology regulations of its worldwide
members. A list of regulation publications can be obtained from the Bureau
International de Métrologie Légale (BIML) in Paris, France.
In order to configure the your controller to comply with OIML requirements,
P410 must be enabled in the Setup Mode. Doing this will ensure the
following:
• An over-load condition will result when the gross weight exceeds nine
graduations over the full-scale capacity.
• Full scale capacity is always referenced from the last zero calibration
reference, not the last zero acquired by pressing [ZERO].
• The keypad is remapped for the international version.
• Presettable parameters will give indication that a value has been entered
manually.
Most NTEP requirements will also apply.
For detailed information on enabling OIML operation, please see the 60
Series Technical Reference Manual.

60 SERIES I NDICATORS
NTEP
The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is a widely accepted
weights and measures standard in the United States. Most states abide by
some or all of the requirements set forth by NTEP. A complete list of these
regulations is available in the “Handbook 44” publication distributed by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For more
information on this and other NIST publications, visit their web site at
http://www.nist.gov.
ENABLING NTEP OPERATION
In order to configure the 60 Series indicators to comply with NTEP
requirements, the NTEP parameter (P440) must be enabled in the Setup
Mode. This will have the following effects on the standard indicator’s
operation:
• Pressing [TARE] with a gross weight of zero (0) or pressing 0 [TARE]
will not automatically switch to the net mode.
• Negative tare values are not accepted regardless of the selection for the
“Negative Tare Enable” parameter (P162).
• Tare values are automatically rounded regardless of the selection for the
“Tare Rounding Enable” parameter (P163).
• Received serial data will not be processed while in the Setup Mode until
P440 is manually enabled.
• Accumulations using the . [ENTER] method can only be performed
from the gross, net or quantity mode.
• Printing using the [PRINT] key is only possible from the gross, net or
quantity mode.
• Weight values that exceed the minimum width specified at P240 will be
transmitted as dashes "-------".
Legal-for-trade installations using accumulations require the “number of
accumulations” parameter (9) to be accessible when not using a printer.
When using a printer, this parameter must be printed on the receipt.

C HAPTER 8:LEGAL- FOR-TRADE
NTEP CUSTOM SETUP
The “Custom Setup” parameter, P60205 of the information parameters,
displays a list of parameters, which, if configured improperly, could
facilitate fraud in a legal-for-trade installation. A weights and measures
inspector might check this parameter and inquire about the configuration of
any parameters that appear in this list.
ACCESSING THE CUSTOM SETUP LIST
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THE CUSTOM SETUP LIST
DURING CRITICAL WEIGHT PROCESSING! It is important to note
that all functions of the operating mode will be suspended immediately upon
accessing the information parameters. This includes suspension of weight
conversions, deactivation of all setpoints and cancellation of custom
transmits.
The “Custom Setup” list may be accessed from the Weigh Mode. An access
code is not required to view this list.
To access the custom setup list:
1. From the Weigh Mode, key in 60205 [SELECT].
2. The Custom Setup list begins scrolling through each parameter to check.
If there are no parameters to check, Std. Setup is displayed.
3. The Custom Setup list may be repeated by pressing [ENTER] at
P60205.
4. Press [ZERO] to return to the Weigh Mode.
A setup parameter that appears in the “Custom Setup” does not imply that it
is improperly configured. Consider the application and refer to the
following descriptions to determine if the parameter is configured
appropriately.
P205 – Receive Mode
If the receive mode is enabled for any of the four communication ports, any
device connected to that port should not be used to transmit data to the
M660 which could facilitate fraud.
47
Page 56
60 SERIES I NDICATORS
P205 will appear in the “Custom Setup” list for each receive port enabled.
For example, if the receive mode is enabled for all four ports, the list will
display
P205—, P205˜, P205™, and P205š.
P240 – Minimum Transmit Width
A weight value that cannot be displayed due to the 6-digit limitation of the
standard VF display may not be printed. To ensure this is not possible, P240
must be set to a width of not greater than 7 (6 digits and a decimal point).
NTEP must also be enabled at P440. Any weight value that exceeds the
minimum width specified will be printed as dashes "-------".
P440 – NTEP Enable
P440 appears in the “Custom Setup” list if disabled. Refer to Enabling
NTEP Operation on page 46 for possible implications.
P9990 – Macro Instance Selection
P9990 appears in the “Custom Setup” list if at least one macro is configured.
Macro operation should be checked to verify its conformance to all
regulations.
ADDITIONAL CONFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Several parameters must be considered on an individual basis as their
configuration may vary with different applications. These parameters
include, but are not limited to those listed in Table 5.
Table 5: Additional Conformance Parameters
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION COMMENT
P110 Full Scale Capacity Verify proper scale capacity.

SEALING AND AUDIT TRAILS
Most legal-for-trade installations will require the indicator to be sealed. A
sealed indicator cannot be accessed for setup or calibration changes without
breaking a physical seal or incrementing an event counter, thus providing
evidence that the unit has been tampered with. Each member of the 60
Series has two types of sealing provisions:
• Physical seal used in conjunction with an internal program jumper
• Three-event audit trail counter
Check with your local weights and measures authority to determine which
method(s) are required.
PHYSICAL SEAL
The most common sealing method is a lead-wire seal. All standard units
provide two tamper-proof screws used for sealing the rear panel to the front
of the enclosure. A lead-wire seal can be applied by passing the lead-wire
seal wire through a hole in these two screws, thus preventing the screws
from being removed without breaking the seal. The 60 Series panel mount
versions use a lead-wire seal and one screw. The Model 663 has a locking
clasp on the front door to which the seal can be applied, or the scale can be
sealed using the same method as that used with the panel mount versions.

AUDIT TRAIL PARAMETERS
Three separate incrementing, non-resettable audit trail parameters are used
by the M660 to indicate changes to various parameters:
• P60201 – OIML
• P60203 – Calibration
• P60204 – Setup
An audit trail counter will increment only once upon exiting the Setup Mode
and saving changes regardless of how many settings were changed. Each
audit trail counter will increment to 99999 before beginning again at 00001.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS AUDIT TRAIL PARAMETERS
DURING CRITICAL WEIGHT PROCESSING! Weight conversions and
custom transmits will be suspended and all setpoints will be deactivated!
Accessing Audit Trails
The audit trails may be accessed from the Weigh Mode. An access code is
not required to view audit trail parameters.
To access audit trails:
1. Key in 60201 [SELECT] to access the OIML audit trail.
2. Key in 60203 [SELECT] to view the Calibration audit trail.
3. Key in 60204 [SELECT] to view the Setup audit trail.
4. Press [ZERO] to return to the Weigh Mode.
OIML Audit Trail
Changes to any of the following parameters will increment the OIML audit
trail at P60201:
• P109 Æ P119 Scale Setup
• P122 Return to Zero
• P131 Æ P134 Units

9CHAPTER 9: TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter of the User Guide provides information on error messages and
trouble-shooting 60 Series controllers. Some information in this chapter
refers to parameters that are not discussed in this guide. They are provided
as a quick reference to problems and solutions. Please refer to the technical
reference manual or consult your GSE distributor for additional information.
All 60 Series error messages are listed below in numerical order. The
leading two digits will appear on the numerical portion of the display, and
the message will appear on the two lines of dot matrix display. Following
each message is a summation of possible causes and probable remedy.
OPERATIONAL MODE ERROR MESSAGES
02 UnderLoad!
03 Over-Load!
04 # > Dsply
05 Zero> Max.!
Input signal less than negative full scale.
Check the load cell connections. If a 4-wire
load cell cable is being used, check that the
sense jumpers are in place. Verify that the
capacity selection P110 is correct. Use the
information parameters, especially P61100 to
check the setup and input signal.
Input signal is greater than 104% of positive
full scale. Use same check as for underload.
Number to be displayed will not fit within 6
digits. This will not normally occur for the
Gross, Net or Tare Weights but may result
while displaying the accumulated totals if the
amount exceeds 999,999. Clear the totals or
settle for only being able to transmit the totals.
An attempt was made to zero out more than
allowed per P118 selection. Use the [TARE]
key for subtracting off container weights or if
large dead load is always to be present, apply
this dead load during the New Zero? prompt
during calibration to eliminate the offset.

MISCELLANEOUS MESSAGES
EntryError
WhichTx#?
This error message is the most commonly used.
The primary causes are entering a value
preceding a key (such as [ZERO]) which is not
allowed, entering alpha data for a numeric
selection, or entering a fractional value for an
entry which only accepts whole numbers.
Occurs in Setup Mode or an operational mode.
The instrument is setup with more than one
custom transmit with parameter P991 set for

pressed. The WhichTx#? message is asking for
a custom transmit number to be entered. Key in
the custom transmit, then press [ENTER]. I.E.
[2] [ENTER], for custom transmit number 2.
COMMUNICATIONS ERROR MESSAGES
prtyXerror
ovrnXerror
frmgXerror
portX error
This indicates that the parity of a received
character did not match the parity specified in
the Setup Mode, parameter P202. This could
also result if the baud rate (P200) or the number
of data bits (P201) is incorrect.
This indicates an over-run error where an
additional character was received while the
receive buffer of the 660 was full, and thus the
extra received character will be lost.
This indicates that the stop bit of a received
character did not occur when it was expected.
This could be the result of an incorrect baud rate
(P200), incorrect number of data bits (P201), or
incorrect parity setting (P202).
The 660 did not check its receive data register in
time, thus missing a character. If this error
should occur, please notify your GSE distributor
62
Page 71
C HAPTER 9:TROUBLESHOOTING
or the factory. To prevent the problem, try
reducing the baud rate (P200).

This will occur if a data transmission is held up
for two seconds of more due to a de-asserted
handshake. Refer to the description of
parameter P206 in the technical reference
manual for more information.
the tx on hold error message is shown or if P206
is set for abort and the transmit buffer becomes
full.
This will appear briefly when the handshake is
re-asserted after the tx on hold message occurs.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
DATA TRANSMISSION: If a data transmission of any weight-related
numeric data such as Gross, Net or Tare is sent as dashes, an overload or
underload (negative overload) condition was in effect. Remove the cause of
the overload (or underload) and repeat the transmission. Also check the
setup of parameters P204 and P206.
DISPLAYED WEIGHT: If an overload or underload occurs due to an
electrical overstress (EOS) normally due to lightning or ESD discharge, then
press the [CLR] key. The message wait 1 will appear for about 1 second.
The A/D converter will then be reset and the system should again be
functional. If not, power down for a few seconds. If the indicator still does
not work properly after power-up, check the load cell or platform wiring. If
okay, permanent damage may have occurred, most likely to the instrument
amplifier.
SERVICE
There are no user-serviceable items in the GSE 60 Series. Service must be
performed by qualified service technicians only. Attempts to service this
instrument by unqualified personnel may void the warranty.
