command sent serially (CPTZ and SICS interface modes), or a command initiated by the PLC
interface.
2.2.2. Tare
Tare is the weight of an empty container. A tare value subtracts from the gross weight
measurement, providing the computation of the net weight (material without the container). The tare
function can also be used to track the net amount of material being added to or removed from a
vessel or container. In this second case, the weight of the material in the container is included with
the tare weight of the container and the display then reflects the net amount being added to or
removed from the vessel.
Tare types and associated operations available in the IND131 / IND131xx / IND331 / IND331xx
include:
•
2.2.2.1. Pushbutton Tare
•
•
Pushbutton tare can be configured in setup as enabled or disabled. When disabled, the TARE scale
function key
cannot be used to obtain a tare.
If enabled, pressing the pushbutton TARE scale function key initiates a semi-automatic tare.
The IND131/IND331 will attempt to perform a tare process. If the process is successful, the display
changes to a zero net weight indication and the previous weight on the scale is stored as the tare
value. The net mode will be indicated on the display.
Several conditions could inhibit the pushbutton tare function:
Motion – Pushbutton tare cannot be taken when the scale is in motion. If motion is detected
when a pushbutton tare command is received, the IND131/IND331 will wait up to three
seconds for a no-motion condition. If a stable (no motion) weight condition occurs before
the three seconds expire, the pushbutton tare command is executed.
If there is still motion at the end of three seconds, the command is aborted.
Pushbutton Tare Disabled – If pushbutton tare is configured as disabled, the TARE scale
function key will not initiate a semi-automatic tare.
Negative Gross Weight – Any pushbutton tare attempted when the gross weight is at or below
zero is ignored. Ensure that the gross weight is above zero.
After the weight value has stabilized at a value above the threshold, tare will be
Net sign correction enables the terminal to be used for both shipping (inbound empty) and
receiving (inbound loaded) operations. Net sign correction can be either disabled or enabled on the
IND131/IND331.
If net sign correction is disabled in setup, the stored weight value in the tare register is assumed to
be a tare regardless of the gross weight present on the scale at the time of the final transaction. Net
values can therefore be negative if the weight on the scale is less than the tare value.
If net sign correction is enabled, the terminal will switch the gross weight and tare weight fields
when necessary, so that the larger weight is the gross weight, the smaller weight is the tare weight,
with the difference always a positive net weight. Net sign correction affects the display and printed
data.
An example of weight values with and without net sign correction is shown in Table 2-1. In this
example, the tare register value is 53 kg and the live weight on the scale is 16 kg.
Table 2-1: Weight Values With and Without Net Sign Correction
2.2.3. Clearing Tare
Tare values can be cleared manually or automatically.
2.2.3.1. Manual Clear
Manually clear tare values by pressing the CLEAR key on the keypad when the IND131/IND331
is in the net mode and has completed the weighing operation. Motion on the scale will not impact a
manual clear. The weight display will return to the gross weight value.
2.2.3.2. Auto Clear
The IND131/131xx/331/331xx can be configured to clear tare automatically when the weight
returns to a value below a programmable threshold, or when a print command is issued. Once the
tare is cleared, the display returns to the gross weighing mode.
Auto clear can be disabled or enabled in setup. If it is enabled, the following parameters, also
configured in setup, affect the auto clear operation:

2.2.4. Print
The print function (demand print) can be initiated by pressing the PRINT function key on the
main keyboard or by automatic print settings. Demand printing of data may also be initiated as part
of a particular sequence of operation or special application software.
2.2.5. Information Recall
A limited number of data fields are made available for easy recall on the terminal display. These
fields include data such as model, serial number, identification fields, hardware and software
configuration, a service contact phone number and whether the terminal has been set up as
approved for legal for trade operation.

All this data is accessible under the Information Recall icon in the operator menu.
2.2.6. Target
Target comparison is used to compare either the gross or net weight on the scale to a
predetermined target value. This feature is typically used in automatic processes. As an example,
an automatic filling system using target comparison could provide a Start signal to the terminal and
2.2.6.1. Target Control
the IND131 or IND331 terminal could control the feeder system to fill a container to a desired target
then turn the outputs off. The target comparison rate is 50 comparisons per second.
If the target comparison will be used to control the flow of material, the application can be classified
as a Material Transfer application. These types of applications are usually automated but can also
be manual. A single or two-speed feeding system is used to either add weight to or remove weight
from the scale. The terminal monitors the change in weight and compares it to a previously entered
target and other control parameters.
Latching outputs must be enabled for the terminal to provide the automated control. For a latched
output, only a Start discrete input signal is needed to begin the target comparison process. No other
control is required. The comparison runs to completion then the latch sets the outputs FALSE until a
Start signal is received the next time.
For simple applications, the target output can be programmed as a coincidence signal and the
target control can be handled by external logic or a PLC.

tolerance” target comparison. The tolerance can either be entered as a weight
deviation from the target or a percentage deviation from the target depending upon
setup.
Comparators are simple targets which can be configured in setup. They are controlled either by
coincidence or by comparison with a range. Each of the three Comparator’s limit/s may be modified
by accessing the operator menu if enabled in setup. To use a Comparator, it must be assigned to a
discrete output.
Comparator values can be positive (the default) or negative.
When the Active value is <, <=, =, >= or >, the selected source is compared to a target weight.
When the Active value is within (>_ _<) or outside (_<
compared to a range defined by the Limit and High Limit values.
2.2.7.1. Target Value Comparators
In this case, the output will be triggered depending on the Active setting. For example, if the Active
operator is <= (less than or equal to) and the Limit is 1000 kg, the output be ON when the weight
is below 1000 kg and will turn OFF when the measured value reaches 1000 kg.
2.2.7.2. Range Comparators
In the case of a Range mode Comparator, the Limit value sets the lower of the two rates that define
the range, within or outside (depending on the operator) which the output is active. For example, if
the Active operator for a rate sourced comparator is Within (>_ _<), the Limit is 3.0 kg/sec and the
High Limit is 8 kg/sec, the output will be active provided the rate remains between 3 and 8 kg/sec.
If the rate falls below 3 or exceeds 8 kg/sec, the output will turn OFF.
>_) a range, the selected source is
Note that the Rate value configured in setup at Scale > Rate permits weight and time units to be
defined, together with the period between measurements and the number of measurements
averaged to generate the output value.
If the weight information in the terminal becomes invalid, the Rate display will show 0.000.
A Range Comparator can also use displayed or gross weight as its source. As an example, set

values at 200 kg and 1500 kg respectively. The output will turn “ON” when the gross weight is
below 200 kg or above 1500kg. The output will be “OFF” when the weight is between 200 kg and
1500 kg. A typical application might be to indicate if the weight in a large vessel falls below a
minimum value (200 kg) or exceeds a maximum value (1500 kg).

2.2.8. Calibration
Calibration is the process of adjusting the display of the terminal so that when the scale is empty,
the display shows zero gross weight and, with a specific amount of weight on the scale, shows an
accurate weight value. The IND131 and IND331 terminals provide the traditional zero calibration
and three different types of span calibration.
• Traditional span calibration - using test weights
• Step calibration - using a build-up or substitution method of calibration (for large vessels where
only a portion of the required test weights can be placed on the scale)
• CalFree calibration – once certain load cell criteria have been entered manually, the terminal
will automatically calculate the span; no test weights are required
When calibration access is enabled for the operator menu, zero and span procedures for the
weighing system can easily be performed without entering setup. This is useful to provide quick
access to the calibration process without having to step through the complete setup mode.
To provide additional protection from unintentional modifications to the calibration values, the
calibration icon can be removed from the operator menu. In this case, calibration can only be
accessed by entering setup mode.
2.2.9. CalFree™
The IND131 and IND331 terminals provide a method to calibrate a scale without using test
weights. This is based on manual entry of capacity and performance data from the load cell or load
cell platform. This method of calibration can be used for initial check-out and testing of systems or
when a large structure is used as the weighing vessel and it is not possible to apply test weights to
the structure. METTLER TOLEDO highly recommends that test weights be used whenever possible as
this provides the most accurate method of calibration.
Scale calibration using CalFree wil not be accurate when using Zener Diode barriers (such as
METTLER TOLEDO ISB05 and ISB05x) between the terminal and the scale. DO NOT use CalFree
when barriers are installed.
2.3. Security
Access to the configuration/setup mode of the terminal can be password protected if enabled in
setup. A single password of up to 6 digits can be programmed. If enabled, the password will be
prompted when the setup mode is accessed. The correct password must be entered in order to
access the setup mode.
The operator level menu which provides access to target and comparator data entry is not protected
by this password so operators can easily change operational parameters but configuration data can
be protected.
2.4. Display Operation
When in the weighing mode, the display is used for indicating the weight value and other types of
information related to the weight. The other information provided includes:
An example of the display format for the weighing mode data is shown in Figure 2-1.
indication
Figure 2-1: Display in Weighing Mode
When accessing the operator menu or setup mode, the display is also used to display icons,
parameters and settings. This operation is explained in the following sections and a display of the
target value entry is shown in Figure 2-2

Figure 2-2: Display in Operator Entry Mode, Target Icon Displayed
2.5. Keypad Operation
The front panel scale function keys are used to operate the IND131/IND331 and also configure the
terminal as described later in this chapter.
Figure 2-3 shows the four scale function keys on the front panel of the IND331. The IND131 is
equipped with smaller versions of the same keys. Table 2-2 explains the function of each of the
four keys during normal operation.
The Zero, Tare and Print functions will not operate when there is motion on the scale. If one of these
keys is pressed while the scale is in motion, the command will be retained for 3 seconds while the
terminal waits for no-motion. If a no-motion condition is not detected within the 3 seconds, the
request is cancelled and discarded.
When the scale platform or weighbridge is empty, the terminal should indicate
zero. The gross zero reference is recorded during calibration. Press the ZERO
scale function key to capture a new gross zero reference point if pushbutton zero
is enabled in configuration and the weight is within the zero range.
Tare is the weight of an empty container. The tare weight is can be subtracted
from the gross weight of a package to determine the net weight of the contents of
a container. Press the TARE key when an empty container is on the scale. The
terminal then displays a zero net weight. As the container is loaded, the terminal
then displays the net weight of the contents. Pushbutton tare must be enabled to
use the Tare key.
When in the net weight mode, if the Clear key is pressed, the current tare value
will be cleared which will cause the weight display to revert to the gross weight
value. The Clear key operates regardless of motion on the scale. Note that once
the tare value has been cleared, it cannot be recalled. The complete tare process
as described above must be performed.
Press the PRINT scale function key to initiate a demand output of the
programmed print data. A demand output connection must be configured for the
selected serial port. This key also provides access to the operator menu and
setup mode when pressed for 3 seconds or more.
2.6. Operator Menu
There are a few functions that operators typically perform which are available in a top-level menu
system in the IND131 and IND331 terminals. These include target value entry, comparator value
entry, data recall and calibration. An explanation of how to access these functions follows.
2.6.1. Language Selection – F Codes
Depending on the terminal’s language setup (at Terminal | Region | Menu Language), parameter
labels in the operator menu will appear as words (“Target”)
are shown in all of the flow charts in this chapter.
2.6.2. Accessing the Operator Menu
To access the operator menu, the PRINT key must be pressed and held for approximately 3
seconds. At the end of the 3 seconds, the display will change from showing the normal weigh
display to showing an icon. Depending upon programming in the terminal, the icon shown will be
one of the ones shown in Table 2-3 below. The Target, Comparator and Calibration icons can be
added or removed from the operator menu by programming in the setup mode.
Access to all target values including the target, tolerances, fine feed and
spill values.
Access to the limit value (and high limit value if the comparator is
programmed as a range) for all comparators.
Recall mode for all terminal information fields.
Quick access to zero and span adjustment (in non-approved mode only).
Access to all setup parameters for the terminal.
2.6.3. Navigating the Operator Menu
When navigating through the operator menu, the function of the keys on the keypad change. The
keys now work as navigation keys to navigate to the correct entry group. Figure 2-4 shows the
function of the keys when viewing the operator menu.
Figure 2-4: Key Functions When Viewing the Operator Menu
The operator menu is accessed by pressing and holding the PRINT key for 3 seconds. Then, using
the four keys on the keypad, an operator can easily navigate to and view and/or change an item in
the Operator Menu. An overview of the operator menu is shown in Figure 2-5.
2.6.4. Numerical Data Entry
An operator may be required to change a value in the operator menu such as a target value for
instance. The four keys on the keypad are also used to make selections and for data entry.
When one of the operator menu icons is selected (by pressing PRINT), a list of parameters
associated with that function will be shown. Two items will be shown on the display at a time. One
of the items will be in “focus” indicated by reverse video. Refer to Figure 2-6 where the Target line is
shown in focus.
showing focus
Figure 2-6: Menu Item in Focus
The item in focus is the active item. The focus is moved by pressing the TARE (up) key and CLEAR
(down) key. When the parameter to be changed is in focus, press the PRINT (enter) key and the
value for that parameter will be shown. Refer to Figure 2-7 which shows the data entry for the target
value.
digit, flashing
Figure 2-7: Target Entry Screen, Value in Focus
Once a parameter is accessed, as in Figure 2-7, data entry is possible. To indicate this, the far right
digit of the value on the bottom line of the display will be flashing. The flashing digit indicates the
position of the currently editable value. This digit can be increased by pressing TARE (up) or
decreased by pressing CLEAR (down) until the desired digit is displayed. To move to the next
position to the left, press the ZERO key. The ZERO, TARE and CLEAR keys are used until the desired
value is displayed then the PRINT key is used to accept and save the new data.
Figure 2-8 details the method for entering numerical values in a flow chart form. Note that, whether
or not the setting is altered, the PRINT key will confirm the currently displayed value and return the
view to the next higher menu. In the flow charts that follow, values that can be modified are
indicated by a blue star – .
Figure 2-8: Setting Numerical Values
When the value has been entered and the display shows a list of items again, the ZERO key can be
pressed to exit to the next higher level of the menu. Pressing the ZERO multiple times will exit the
operator menu.
If the Target menu is enabled for the operator, Target values can be modified without entering setup.
Once the Target icon appears (as in Figure 2-2), press the PRINT key to access the displays to
set parameters associated with the target. Refer to the Numerical Data Entry section on page 2-11
for the method used to modify numerical values. Depending on the parameters configured in Setup
at Application | Target Setup, the tolerance values will either be in absolute weight values or
percentages of the target.
Details of the target menu are shown in Figure 2-9
described in Chapter 3,
. Note that both the text and F-code labels for each field are
If the Comparator feature is enabled in the operator menu, Comparator parameters can be modified
without entering setup. Once the Comparator icon appears, press the PRINT key to access the
limit settings screens for the first comparator.
If the operator is a single value, only one limit value can be set for the comparator, and pressing
the PRINT key again returns to the list of comparators. If the operator is a range, then the Limit
screen is followed by the High Limit screen, from which the PRINT key exits back to the list of
comparators. To edit parameters other than limits, Comparator configuration must be accessed in
setup. Refer to the Numerical Data Entry section on page 2-11 for the method used to modify
numerical values.
The comparator operator menu is organized as indicated in Figure 2-10.

The information recall function is always available in the operator menu. Once the Information
Recall icon appears, press the PRINT key to recall specific information about the terminal. In
this menu, items are viewed in sequence by pressing the down (CLEAR) key or the up (TARE) key.

If the Calibration function is enabled for the operator menu, Calibration can be performed without
entering setup. The scale must also be programmed as NOT approved for the Calibration menu to
operate.
With the Calibration icon in view, press the PRINT key to access the calibration procedures. The
following four sections and flow charts describe calibration options and procedures. Refer to the
Numerical Data Entry section on page 2-11 for the method used to modify numerical values.

Indicates whether the terminal has been programmed as Approved for use in
legal for trade applications.
Scale zero is set simply by emptying the scale and running the “Set Zero” calibration routine, as
indicated in Figure 2-11. The scale must be in the gross weight mode when zero is calibrated. If the
net mode is displayed when the zero calibration is initiated, the tare value will be cleared
automatically.
The scale’s span calibration can be determined either with or without a linearity adjustment. With
linearity disabled, a single reference point is used to calibrate the scale. This is the normal method
of span calibration. If linearity is enabled, an additional mid-range weight reference point is added
to the adjustment procedure. Linearity can be enabled or disabled in the setup mode. Refer to the
Numerical Data Entry section on page 2-11 for the method used to modify numerical values.
Step calibration is an iterative process in which a build-up or material substitution method of
calibration is used to calibrate the span. This is typically used with large vessels where only a
portion of the required calibration test weights can be placed on the scale at one time. Figure 2-13
shows the logic of the procedure.
CalFree allows the scale to be calibrated without the use of test weights. It requires the load cell
capacity and output in mV/V to be entered. The system then calculates correct calibration for the
scale. Figure 2-14 provides a visual representation of the CalFree calibration procedure.
Scale calibration using CalFree wil not be accurate when using Zener Diode barriers (such as
METTLER TOLEDO ISB05 and ISB05x) between the terminal and the scale. DO NOT use CalFree
when barriers are installed.
2.6.9. Setup Access
The last icon displayed in the operator menu accesses Setup , where all the terminal’s
programming parameters can be viewed and modified. Details of the setup mode are described in
Chapter 3,
It is not intended that operators enter the setup mode. After a weighing system is installed and is
operational, it should not be necessary for an operator to access setup.
Note that a security password can be enabled in setup. When a password is set, it must be entered
in order to access setup. This protects the setup parameters from inadvertent changes.

3.1. Setup Menu Tree
Parameters in the setup menu tree are accessed in the same manner as items in the Operator menu
- either sequentially (at the same level), or by stepping down through the tree structure to a lower
level. This section explains the use of the scale function keys to navigate the menus, to enter
numerical parameters, and to select options from lists. A key to conventions used in the setup
menu flow charts is also provided.

WARNING
In this chapter, references are made to the “next higher menu level”, which is accessed either using
the ZERO key (to exit a menu) or, in some cases, by the PRINT key (where a setting is confirmed
and a process concluded).
3.1.1. Use of Keys within Menus
3.1.1.1. Overview of Navigation
The scale function keys double as navigation and data entry keys when the setup menu is
accessed.
For menus where settings may be made or options selected, the scale function keys work as
indicated in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1: Navigating and Setting Parameters Using Scale Function Keys
3.1.1.2. Entering Numerical Parameters
Figure 3-2 shows how to set numerical values. Note that, whether or not the setting is altered, the
PRINT key will confirm the currently displayed value and return the view to the next higher menu.
Figure 3-2: Setting Numerical Values
3.1.1.3. Making Selections from a List
Figure 3-3 details the method used to make a selection from a list. In this case, the ZERO key
returns the view to the next higher level without making a change, while the TARE and CLEAR keys
are used to move up and down through the list, with the selection being confirmed by pressing the

3.2. Entering Setup Mode
The setup menu of the IND131 and IND331 terminals is accessed by pressing and holding the
PRINT scale function key. The screen will show the first icon in the Operator Menu. The number of
icons in the Operator Menu depends on how the terminal is configured. The complete operator
menu is described in Table 2-3 and shown in Figure 2-5 in the previous Chapter 2 -
After accessing the Operator Menu, continue to the Setup icon then press PRINT to open the
setup menu tree.
3.3. Security
Access to the configuration/setup mode of the terminal can be password protected if enabled in
setup. A single password of up to 6 digits can be programmed. If enabled, the password will be
prompted when the setup mode is accessed. The correct password must be entered in order to
access the setup mode. If an incorrect password is entered, the display returns to the Setup icon.
Refer to Figure 3-4 for an example of the password entry display.
The operator level menu which provides access to target and comparator data entry is not protected
by this password so operators can easily change operational parameters but configuration data can
be protected.
3.3.1. Metrology Switch
Access to the metrology switch may be sealed in conformity with local regulations in “legal-fortrade” applications. Refer to Appendix A,
, for details about the metrology switch.
3.4. Exiting Setup
To return to the normal (run) mode, navigate back to the operator menu tree by pressing ZERO and
then exit the operator menu by pressing the ZERO scale function key again. This is shown in Figure
3-5.
If the terminal has been programmed as approved, the metrology switch (SW1-1) must be
switched “ON” before setup can be exited. If an exit of setup is attempted when the scale is
approved and SW1-1 is “OFF”, an error message of [ Err 0015 ] is shown indicating the switch is
unsecured and exit is prohibited.

operation. However, METTLER TOLEDO recommends that – as with any industrial
measurement equipment – the terminal and the connected scale system be serviced
periodically. Timely, factory-specified maintenance and calibration by a METTLER
TOLEDO service technician will ensure and document accurate and dependable
performance to specifications.
WARNING
IF THE KEYBOARD, DISPLAY LENS OR ENCLOSURE IS DAMAGED ON AN IND131xx OR
IND331xx TERMINAL THAT IS USED IN A DIVISION 2 OR ZONE 2/22 AREA, THE DEFECTIVE
COMPONENT MUST BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. REMOVE POWER IMMEDIATELY AND DO
NOT REAPPLY POWER UNTIL THE DISPLAY LENS, KEYBOARD OR ENCLOSURE HAS BEEN
REPAIRED OR REPLACED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN BODILY HARM AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
4.1. Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the terminal’s keypad and cover with a clean, soft cloth that has been dampened with a mild
glass cleaner. Do not use any type of industrial solvent such as toluene or isopropanol (IPA) that
could damage the terminal’s finish. Do not spray cleaner directly on the terminal.
WHEN CLEANING AN IND131XX OR IND331XX TERMINAL INSIDE A HAZARDOUS AREA,
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGES TO THE EXPOSED NON-METALLIC PARTS OF THE
ENCLOSURE MUST BE AVOIDED.
Regular maintenance inspections and calibration by a qualified service technician are
recommended. The IND131 and IND331 terminals are rugged instruments; however, the front
panel is a relatively thin covering over sensitive electronic switches and a lighted display. Care
should be taken to avoid any punctures to this surface or any vibrations or shocks to the
instrument. Should the front panel become punctured, ensure that steps are taken to prevent dust
and moisture from entering the unit until the terminal can be repaired.
DO NOT INSTALL OR PERFORM ANY SERVICE ON THIS EQUIPMENT BEFORE THE AREA IN
WHICH THE TERMINAL IS LOCATED HAS BEEN SECURED AS NON-HAZARDOUS BY
PERSONNEL AUTHORIZED TO DO SO BY THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON AT THE CUSTOMER’S
SITE.
Only qualified personnel should perform installation, programming, and service. Please contact a
local METTLER TOLEDO representative for assistance.
METTLER TOLEDO recommends periodic preventative maintenance to the terminal and scale system
to ensure reliability and to maximize service life. All measurement systems should be periodically
calibrated and certified as required to meet production, industry and regulatory requirements. We
can help you maintain uptime, compliance and quality system documentation with periodic
maintenance and calibration services. Contact your local METTLER TOLEDO authorized service
organization to discuss your requirements.
WARNING
ONLY PERMIT QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO SERVICE THE TERMINAL. EXERCISE CARE WHEN
MAKING CHECKS, TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS THAT MUST BE MADE WITH POWER ON.
FAILING TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN BODILY HARM AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
4.3. Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting activities described here are limited to simple diagnostics to assist in identifying
whether the problem is in the IND131/331 terminal or has an external cause.
• Diagnostic LEDs
• Problems
• Error Codes and Error Messages
• Internal Diagnostic Testing
4.3.1. Diagnostic LEDs
Two red LEDs are positioned next to the COM1 serial port connector (Figure 4-1) that indicate the
operational status of the load cell excitation circuit and the +5 volt logic voltage of the terminal. If
an LED is ON, it indicates normal operation of that circuitry. If either LED is OFF during operation, it
indicates a problem with that circuitry in the terminal. In this case, contact an authorized METTLER
TOLEDO service representative for assistance.
The following chart lists a few potential symptoms and some suggestions for resolving the issue.
Use qualified electricians to test for problems with the AC power source. If a problem occurs but that
specific problem is not listed in Table 4-1, or the suggested fix does not resolve the problem,
contact an authorized METTLER TOLEDO service representative for assistance.

Check wiring to load cell. Look for broken wires, open connections or mis-wiring.
Use serial diagnostics section of Maintenance block of setup to determine if the
problem is internal or external to the terminal.
Use the discrete input and output diagnostics section of the Maintenance block of
setup to determine if the problem is internal or external to the terminal.
4.3.3. Error Codes and Error Messages
The IND131 and IND331 terminals use error codes and error messages to indicate error conditions
that occur in the terminal. An example of an error code display is given in Figure 4-2.
Error messages that occur as a result of an operator action will remain on the display until cleared
by pressing PRINT. Error messages that result from a remote operation and not an operator action
will clear automatically after approximately 3 seconds. In either case, after the message is cleared,
the display reverts to the previous data shown before the error was detected. The possible error
codes and messages are listed in Table 4-2 with a brief description of the error.

divisions: Increment size has been changed automatically.
4.3.4. Internal Diagnostics
The IND131 and IND331 terminals provide several internal diagnostic tools that are accessible in
setup mode. These tests are intended to assist in diagnosing whether a problem is internal or
external to the terminal.
To access these tools, enter SETUP mode and navigate to the Maintenance menu. Open the
Maintenance branch. Each of the diagnostic items is shown in the menu. The following diagnostic
tests are included:
4.3.4.1. Scale Diagnostics

— Displays statistical information for the scale such as the total number of
weighments (as determined by a demand print), the number of scale overloads, the peak
weight weighed on the scale, total number of zero commands and failed zero commands. This
data can be very helpful when diagnosing scale problems.
— Displays the current load cell output (active weight) in internal counts.
— Displays the current calibration values for the scale. If these values are
This tool tests the transmit and receive functions on the serial (COM) ports. The COM port to be
tested must be selected first and then the test can be started.
1. With the desired COM port in focus, press PRINT to begin the test.
2. During the test, a data string is output repeatedly approximately once every three seconds. The
data is: [Testing COMx: nn] where “x” is the COM port and “nn” is an incrementing value
beginning at 1 and continuing through 99 then starting over again. Each transmission
increments this number by one.
3. Any data received during the serial test is displayed in the bottom part of the display to the right
of the “Rx:” label. Control characters are not displayed in this mode.
4. If a jumper wire is placed between the transmit and the receive terminals (Figure 4-4) on the
port being tested, the same data string that is transmitted displays as the receiving field. This
jumper can confirm correction operation of both the transmit and receive circuitry of that COM
port.

Note that when the Discrete I/O Test screen is exited, all outputs will be turned off again.
An optional SD memory card is available for the IND131 and IND331 terminal. The card provides a
medium to store a setup file containing the terminal’s configuration. All setup parameters are saved
in a file that can be restored to the terminal in case the data is lost or after the setup is totally
cleared with a master reset.
The SD memory card supports saving of as many as 99 setup files. The backup and restore
process provides the ability to name the backup file with a value from 01 to 99, and permits the
selection of a particular file to restore.
The terminal will initiate the backup and restore sequence of prompts when the terminal detects at
power up that an SD memory card is present when it was not present the previous time the terminal was powered on.
The SD memory card is not hot-swappable.
The SD memory media provided by METTLER TOLEDO as an option has been fully tested for
correct operation. While other SD memory media may work, some may not work correctly.
METTLER TOLEDO will only support correct operation of the SD memory card model offered as
the IND131 and IND331 terminal accessory.
4.4.1. Backup
With the terminal unplugged from power, insert the SD memory into the slot as shown in Figure 4-7
or Figure 4-8. Note that it is inserted upside down from the normal orientation. Do not force the

4.5. SD Memory Files and InSite
Version 5.01.03 of InSite adds the ability to import a saved configuration file from the SD memory
card into InSite. Once it is imported into InSite, configuration changes may be done and InSite can
then export the modified file back onto the SD memory card as a “File_nn.txt” file (IND131 and
IND331 terminal format) or save it as a “*.BCF” file (native InSite format).
A PC with an SD memory card reader is required for this operation. These instructions do not
include details on the SD memory card reader.
4.5.1. Importing the File
To import a saved file from the SD memory card, perform the following steps:
1. Open InSite and confirm the firmware version is 5.01.03 or newer. This feature is not present
on earlier versions of InSite.
2. Select terminal model IND131/IND331 in InSite.
3. Select OPEN on the left of the top menu bar of InSite.
4. At the bottom of the Open pop-up screen, change the “Files of type:” selection from BCF files
(*.bcf) to Text Files (*.txt).
5. In the “Look in:” field at the top of the display, navigate to the location of the SD memory card
and select the file to be imported.
6. Press the Open button at the lower right of the display.
7. The saved *.txt file will be imported from the SD memory card into InSite and configuration
changes can be made.
4.5.2. Saving as a *.txt File
If the file was imported from the SD memory card, when you perform a standard Save function, the
file will be saved in the original *.txt file format back to the original file path. If needed, the file path
or file name can be modified by using the “Save as:” feature of InSite. Make sure the “Files of type:”
selection is selected as *.txt file.
If the file was originally opened as a *.bcf file, the normal “Save” function of InSite will save the file
in the *.bcf format. To save the file to an SD memory card, select the “Save as:” feature of InSite
and change the “Files of type:” selection to *.txt. Enter the file path in the “Save in:” field and when
the Save button is pressed, the file will be saved in the *.txt file format for use by the IND131 and
IND331 terminals.
Note: In order for the IND131 or IND331 terminal to load the file from the SD memory card, the file
name must be File_nn.txt where “nn” is a number from 1 to 99. Other file names will be ignored by
the terminal.
4.5.3. Saving as a *.BCF File
If the file was originally opened from a *.bcf file, when you perform a standard Save function, the
file will be saved in the original *.bcf file format back to the original file path. If needed, the file path
or file name can be modified by using the “Save as:” feature of InSite. Make sure the “Files of type:”
selection is selected as *.bcf file.
If the file was originally imported from the SD memory card, the normal “Save” function of InSite will
save the file in the original *.txt file format. To save the file in the native BCF InSite format, select the
“Save as:” feature of InSite and change the “Files of type:” selection to *.bcf file. Enter the file path in
the “Save in:” field and when the Save button is pressed, the file will be saved in the *.bcf file format
for use by InSite.
4.6. Master Reset
A hardware master reset restores all terminal setup parameters to the factory default settings (refer
to Appendix B,
The master reset typically is performed under these circumstances:
• When a software configuration problem arises that cannot be resolved without starting from the
factory default settings.
• When password security is enabled to protect setup, and the password is lost.
).
• After a firmware upgrade is performed.
To initiate a master reset, perform the following steps:
1. Remove AC power.
2. Place switch SW1-2 in the ON position, as shown in Figure 4-9.
The position of SW1-4 (also shown in Figure 4-9) determines whether metrologically
significant EEPROM data for scale calibration is reset when a master reset is performed. SW1-4
must be set to ON to reset EEPROM data. If SW1-4
is set to OFF, EEPROM data will
be
affected by the master reset.
3. Apply AC power. A warning message displays asking if a master reset should be performed.
Figure 4-10: Master Reset Warning Message
4. Press PRINT to perform a master reset. When the reset is complete, the screen will return to the
normal weight display.
OR
To exit without a master reset, do not press PRINT.
5. Remove AC power.
6. Return SW1-2 (and, if it was changed, SW1-4) to their original OFF positions.
7. Reapply AC power.
4.7. Updating Firmware
There are two different methods of updating the firmware in the terminal, each of which uses a
different file type. The first method is via InSite which uses an “72225989A00n.hex” file to load.
The second method is via the SD Memory card which uses a “3311A00n.hex” file. The letter “n”
represents a revision number that will appear in each file name.
The InSite configuration tool program is used to flash new terminal firmware files such as
“72225989A00n.hex” through the COM1 serial port of the IND131 and IND331 terminals. The
firmware update and the InSite configuration tool program must be saved on a PC that will be
connected to the terminal for firmware flashing.
Implement the following steps to prepare the terminal for firmware flashing using the InSite
configuration tool:
Access the InSite tool by double-clicking on its icon – .
After updating, the new firmware may generate a checksum error on restart, which can be
cleared by pressing PRINT on the terminal’s keypad. This confirms it is acceptable to perform a
Master Reset. Therefore,

blank display and all dots lit while the IND131 display will remain blank. The terminal is now
ready for firmware flashing.
6. Refer to the instructions/help provided with the InSite configuration tool program for procedures
required to complete firmware flashing.
7. When the firmware download process is complete, disconnect the serial cable, return switch
SW1-3 to the OFF position and return all other switches to the positions they were in.
8. Close the terminal enclosure.
To eliminate potential memory errors, it is recommended that a Master Reset be performed after
flashing new firmware.
4.7.2. Using the SD Memory Card
If a new “3311A00n.hex” file is copied to the SD Memory card from a PC, the firmware can then be
updated by the following procedure in the Maintenance section of setup.
Remove power from the terminal and insert the SD memory card with the “3311A00n.hex” file

(F5.5). The Update
The terminal will display “Erasing” on the display as the process
begins.
After erasing the old code, the new firmware will be loaded while
a “Loading” message is displayed.
During the process, the terminal both reads the update file and
writes a file to the SD memory card. If either the read or write
fails, an error message is displayed. Pressing PRINT clears the
error and exits the update sequence.
After the update is complete, the terminal will restart.
To eliminate potential memory errors, it is recommended that a Master Reset be performed after
updating the firmware.
The following table lists the factory default settings for the setup parameters of the IND131 and
IND331 terminals. Both the Name and the F-Code for each parameter are listed. The default value
when viewing the setup programmed for F-Codes is shown in parenthesis immediately after the FCode number. A column is provided to note how each parameter has been programmed for this
specific terminal.
