Connect equipotential bonding of all devices (power supply unit, weighing terminal, interface
converter and weighing platform) in accordance with the terminal diagram and all country-specific
regulations and standards. In the process, it must ensure that:
• All device housings are connected to the same potential via the EB terminals.
• No circulating current flows via the cable shielding for intrinsically safe circuits.
• The neutral point for equipotential bonding is as close to the weighing system as possible.
1.8. Operating Environment
When selecting a location:
• Choose a stable, vibration-free surface to mount the terminal
• Ensure there are no excessive fluctuations in temperature and there is
sunlight
no direct exposure to

2.1. Overview
This chapter provides the navigation, basic features and functions of the IND256x terminal.
IND256x functions can be configured through the setup menu – refer to Chapter 3,
The specific operation of each IND256x terminal depends on the options installed, the functions
allowed in the setup menu, and the parameters configured.
2.1.1. User Security: Overview
Access to the terminal’s functions can be restricted according to the site’s security policies.
Restrictions may reflect legal and regulatory requirements, or site-specific standards.
The IND256x uses a password security mechanism to protect the setup menu. The password
function is off by default and can be enabled in setup.
Once set, the password must be kept safely. If the password is changed or forgotten, the setup
menu and some terminal functions will not be accessible. To recover access and functions, a
master reset must be performed, which will reset all user names and passwords and delete any
custom configuration.

Tare refers to the weight of an empty container. It is generally used to determine the
net weight of the container’s contents. Press the tare function key when an empty
container is placed on the weighing platform to display a net weight of zero. When
material is added to the container, the terminal displays their net weight.
When the empty weight of the container is known, the tare may be entered using the
numeric keypad and pressing the tare function key to store the value. The terminal will
display the net weight of the materials in the container. The keyboard tare must be
allowed, so that this method can be used for key tare operation. If the auxiliary tare
display is allowed, the tare value and tare type will be displayed in the bottom left of
the screen.
Pushbutton tare must be enabled in setup in order to use either of these methods
for tare operation.
