3. Configuration of Dip Switches

The purpose of dip switches #1-#6 is to ensure that the remote display and the indicator
are communicating in the same format. Consult your indicator manual to find the indicator's
current configuration. Check that the correct EPROM has been installed. Disconnect power
and set switches 1-6. Switches #7 and #8 enable the time and temperature display if those
options are installed.

Switch #1--Data Transfer Rate
(F 1.5 Series EPROM Version) (Series 1, 2, or 3 EPROM Version)

off 1200 BAUD off 300 BAUD
on 2400 BAUD on 1200 BAUD

Switch #2--Number of Data Bits

off 7 data bits
on 8 data bits

Switch #3--Number of Stop Bits

off 1 stop bit
on 2 stop bits

Switch #4--Odd Parity

off no parity or parity disabled
on odd / even parity enabled

Switch #5 and #6--Serial Input Format

5 off 6 on 20 mA Current Loop
5 on 6 off RS232C

Switch #7--Time Display (Unavailable Option)

off time display disabled
on time display enabled

Switch #8--Temperature Display (Unavailalble Option)

off temperature display disabled
on temperature display enabled

4. Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEM SOLUTION

A. No display check at power-up. Replace fuse (1/4 A Slo-Blo).

Check AC receptacle for proper 120V
power supply.

Press reset switch on circuit board.

B. Display shows no or different data than Check that serial communication lines
indicator. are connected properly.

Check that the indicator and remote display
are configured in the same format.

Display has incorrect program for indicator
(see Sec. 5).

Notes:

1 The Toledo 8132 meter will not work with the 234HE without special programming to operate the 234HE at 4800 baud.
2 The WI130 indicator must be programmed to stream out in the standard Weightronix format to use the WI110/WI120 flip digit driver.
3 The Allegany Mega 8 sends out eight weight display digits. The EL234HE Remote Display shows the least significant six digits.
4 This special format contains three weight strings within one serial string. Dip switches 7 and 8 in switchbank 2 control which of the three

strings are displayed as follows:

2-7 2-8 String Displayed
off off 1st
off on 2nd
