1CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

GSE 60 Series programmable indicators come standard with a number of
features that make them the most versatile and powerful systems in their
price class. Accurate and durable, 60 Series controllers will provide you
with years of quality weighing service even in the most demanding industrial
environments.

This User Guide contains basic operating information. Subjects covered
include controller installation, operation modes, custom transmits, variable
or string operations, the clock feature, legal-for-trade issues, and
troubleshooting.

Subjects such as the Setup Mode and the macro programming language are
beyond the scope of a User Guide. For more detailed operating instructions,
a 60 Series Technical Reference Manual is available. Contact your GSE
Distributor for more information.

CONTROLLER DESCRIPTIONS

All 60 Series models excluding the 663 come with a swivel bracket for
positioning on a tabletop or mounting to any fixed surface. They are also
available in panel-mount versions.

A stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure for washdown environments comes
standard on all 60 Series models. The model 663 is also available in a
powder coat mild steel enclosure.

GSE offers many options to enhance the 60 Series of controllers. The
number of options that can be used varies among the different models.

See the Specifications section on page 11 for enclosure dimensions.

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
