Turns the u nit on/off.

If power mode is set to manual, the POWER button must be used to turn the unit on and off. If power mode is set to auto, the unit will automatically power on when it’s plugged in and the only way to turn it off is to unplug power. See Section 3.2.5.

The MENU key is used to access the User Setup menu.

Sets the current gross weight to zero, provided the amount of weight to be removed or added is within the specified zero range and the scale is not in motion. The zero band is defaulted to 2% of full scale, but can be configured for up to 100% of full scale. Also used as a “move up” key to navigate to different menu levels or used to increment a number when editing a value.

Switches the weight display to an alternate unit. The alternate unit is defined in the Configuration menu, and could be kg, g, lb, oz, tn, or t. Also used as a “scroll left” key to navigate to different menus. In numeric entry mode used as a “clear” key.

Sends “on-demand” print format out the serial port, provided the conditions for standstill are met. PRINT may be displayed while the unit prints. Also used as a “scroll right” key to navigate to different menus or to toggle to another digit when editing a value.

Performs one of several predetermined Tare functions dependent on the mode of operation selected in the TAREFN parameter. To view a stored tare, see Section 1.5.7. Also acts as an “enter” key for numeric or parameter entry.

Switches the display mode from gross to net, or from net to gross. If a tare value has been entered or acquired, the net value is the gross weight minus the tare. Gross mode is shown by the Gross/Brutto annunciator; net mode is shown by the Net annunciator. Also used as a “move down” key to navigate to different menu levels or to decrement a number when editing a value.

LED Description

Gross/Brutto LED

Gross weight display mode (or Brutto in OIML mode)

Net LED

Net weight display mode

Zero (Center of Zero) LED

The Center of Zero LED indicates that the current gross weight reading is within +/- 0.25 display divisions of the acquired zero, or is within the center of zero band. A display division is the resolution of the displayed weight value, or the smallest incremental increase or decrease that can be displayed or printed.

Standstill LED

Scale is at standstill or within the specified motion band. Some operations, including Zero, Tare and Printing, can only be done when the standstill LED is on.

lb/kg LED

Displays which unit of measure is being used. lb and kg annunciators indicate the units associated with the displayed value: lb = pounds, kg = kilograms. The displayed units can also be set to short tons (tn), metric tons (t), ounces (oz), grams (g), NONE (no units information displayed). The lb and kg LEDs function as primary and secondary units annunciators. If neither primary nor secondary units are lb or kg, the lb annunciator is lit for primary units and kg is lit for secondary units.

T LED

Indicates that a push-button tare weight has been acquired and stored in memory.

PT LED

Indicates that a preset tare weight has been keyed in or entered and stored in memory.

2.1 Unpacking and Assembly

Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the 480 to ensure all components are included and undamaged. The shipping carton should contain the indicator, this manual, and a parts kit. If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.

See Section 2.7 on page 16 for parts kit contents.

2.2 Enclosure Disassembly

The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect the scale load cell cable and any other interface connection.

Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.

Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then place the indicator facedown on an antistatic work mat. Remove the screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body. Then lift the backplate away from the enclosure and turn it over to access boards.

The display cord will still be attached. Be careful when lifting and turning over the backplate so it does not become damaged or dislodged.

2.3 Cable Connections

The 480 provides four cord grips for cabling into the indicator: one for the power cord, three to accommodate load cell, communications, digital inputs and outputs, and analog output cables. Two of the three free cord grips come with a plug installed to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. Depending on your application, remove the plug from any cord grip that will be used and install cables as required. Figure 2-1 shows the recommended assignments for the 480 cord grips.

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the indicator enclosure. Do the following to ground shielded cables:

• Use the ground clamp screws to install grounding clamps on the grounding bar. Do not tighten screws yet.

• Route cables through cord grips and grounding clamps to determine cable lengths required to reach cable connectors. Mark cables to remove insulation and shield as described below:

• For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation and foil from the cable 1/2

clamp (see Figure 2-2). Fold the foil shield back on the cable where the cable passes through the clamp. Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the grounding clamp.

• For cables with braided shielding, strip cable insulation and braided shield from a point just past the

grounding clamp. Strip another 1/2

 (15 mm) of insulation to only expose the braid where the cable

passes through the clamp (see Figure 2-2).

• For load cell cables, cut the shield wire just past the grounding clamp. Shield wire function is provided

by contact between the cable shield and the grounding clamp.

• Route stripped cables through cord grips and grounding clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding

clamps as shown in Figure 2-2. Tighten ground clamp screws.

DIGFIL ON

Enables or disables the Adaptive Digital Filtering.

The Adaptive Digital Filter averages the newest A/D value with the previous averaged

values, using a weighted average. The weighted average is based on the selected

DFSENS value, the time the system has been stable, and the amount of weight change.

DFSENS LIGHT

MEDIUM HEAVY

Digital Filter Sensitivity Light/Medium/Heavy is the amount of influence the current A/D

cycle has on the running averaged value. The Light setting has the most influence, so

small changes in applied load will immediately impact the displayed value.

The Heavy setting will result in an output that is much more stable and will settle more

quickly than that of the Light setting. However, small changes in weight data (on the order

of a few grads) on the scale base will not be seen as quickly. If the difference in typical

subsequent weight values on your scale will be only a few grads, use the Light setting so

the indicator will respond quickly to the applied weight. If your application is a truck scale

where the changes in subsequent weight values will be on the order of 100s of grads, the

heavy setting will be more appropriate.

DFTHRH 0 – 999999 Digital Filtering Threshold controls the response of the filter and should be set above the

noise disturbances in the system. The value entered is in display graduations. When a

new sampled weight value is acquired, the filter compares the new value to the previous

(filtered) output value. If the difference between the new value and the previous output

value is greater than the DFTHRH parameter, the filter is flushed out and the newly

acquired sample value is used. This allows the indicator to update quickly to an applied

weight change.

DELAY

Power up mode. In GO mode, the indicator goes into operation immediately after a brief power up display test.

In DELAY mode, the indicator performs a power up display test and then enters a 30 second warm-up period. If no motion is detected during the warm-up period, the indicator becomes operational when the warm-up period ends; if motion is detected, the delay timer is reset and the warm-up period repeated.

REGULA NTEP

OIML CANADA NONE

Regulatory mode. Specifies the regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the scale site. OIML, NTEP, and CANADA modes allow a tare to be acquired at any weight greater than zero.

NONE allows tares to be acquired at any weight value. OIML, NTEP, and CANADA modes allow a tare to be cleared only if the gross weight is at no

load. NONE allows tares to be cleared at any weight value. NTEP and OIML modes allow a new tare to be acquired even if a tare is already present. In

CANADA mode, the previous tare must be cleared before a new tare can be acquired. NONE, NTEP and CANADA modes allow the scale to be zeroed in either gross or net mode as

long as the current weight is within the specified ZRANGE. In OIML mode, the scale must be in gross mode before it can be zeroed; pressing the ZERO key in net mode clears the tare.

4.4 More About Calibration

The following provides additional information about compensating for environmental factors.

4.4.1 Adjusting Final Calibration

Calibration may be affected by environmental factors including wind, vibration, and angular loading. For example, if the scale is calibrated with 1000 lb, a strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the calibration is 3 lb high. In this case, final calibration can be adjusted by tweaking WVAL to 998.5 lb. This adjustment provides a linear correction of 1.5 lb per 1000 lb.

To adjust the final calibration, return to the to adjust calibration up or down. Press to save the value. Press to return to the CALIBR menu.

Note

Revolution

Term in al .

5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer

Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer connected to the selected port. The PC must be running a communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS

When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the SERIAL menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC.

To save all configuration data, first put your communications program into data capture mode, then indicator in configuration mode and send the DUMPALL command to the indicator. The 480 responds by sending all configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.

5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator

Configuration data saved on a PC or disc can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful when a number of indicators with similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced.

To download configuration data, connect the PC to the selected port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the indicator in configuration mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to the indicator. When transfer is complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 4.0.

6.0 EDP Commands

Note

EDP commands are case sensitive. Commands must be entered in upper case.

The 480 indicator can be controlled by a personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the indicator selected port. Control is provided by a set of EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press functions, display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. This section describes the EDP command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the printer port.

6.1 The EDP Command Set

The EDP command set can be divided into five groups: key press commands, reporting commands, the RESETCONFIGURATION special function command, parameter setting commands, and transmit weight data commands.

When the indicator processes an EDP command, it responds with the message verifies that the command was received an d has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the indicator responds with

The following sections list the commands and command syntax used for each of these groups.

6.1.1 Key Press Commands

Key press EDP commands (see Table 6-1) simulate pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator. Most commands can be used in both setup and weighing mode. Several of the commands serve as “pseudo” keys, providing functions that are not represented by a key on the front panel.

For example, to enter a 15 pound tare weight using EDP commands:

1. Type K1 and press

2. Type K5 and press

3. Type KTARE and press shifts to net mode when the tare is entered.

Table 6-2. EDP Reporting Commands

The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used to restore all configuration parameters to their default values. Before issuing this command, the indicator must be placed in configuration mode. The Configuratio

n Switch must be pressed and held when

this command is issued. This command is equivalent to using the DEFLT

function on the TEST menu. See Section 9.1.2 for more information about test mode and using the TEST menu.

All load cell calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.

6.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration parameter.

Current configuration parameter settings can be displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using the following syntax:

SC.command<ENTER>

Most parameter values can be changed in setup mode only; setpoint parameters listed in Table 6-9 can be changed when in normal weighing mode.

Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values:

value is either a number or a parameter value. Use no

SC.command=value<ENTER>, where

spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an incorrect command, the display reads

??.

For parameters with selectable values, enter the command and equal sign followed by a question mark to see a list of those values:

SC.command=?<ENTER>

The indicator must be in setup mode to use this function and requires the user password.

6.1.5 Soft Reset

7.2 Customizing Print Formats

The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT and SPFMT formats using the front panel (PFORMT menu). See Figure 3-7 for print format menu structure.

7.2.1 Using the Front Panel

You can use the PFORMT menu to customize the print formats. Using the PFORMT menu (see Figure 3-7), you can edit the print format strings by changing the decimal values of

the ASCII characters in the format string.

Lower-case letters and some special characters cannot be displayed on the 480 front panel (see the ASCII

character charts on page 55 and page 56) and are shown as blanks. The character; the character printed depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

480 can send or receive any ASCII

8.0 Setpoints

Note

The 480 indicator provides eight configurable setpoints for control of both indicator and external equipment functions. Setpoints can be configured to perform actions or functions based on specified parameter conditions. Parameters associated with various setpoint kinds can, for example, be configured to perform functions (print, tare, accumulate), to change the state of a digital output controlling indicator or external equipment functions, or to make conditional decisions.

Weight-based setpoints are tripped by values specified in primary units only.

8.1 Batch and Continuous Setpoints

480 setpoints can be either continuous or batch.

Continuous setpoints are free-running: the indicator constantly monitors the condition of free-running setpoints at

each A/D update. The specified setpoint action or function is performed when the designated setpoint parameter conditions are met. A digital output or function assigned to a free-running setpoint continuously changes state, becoming active or inactive, as defined by the setpoint parameters.

Batch setpoint (BATSEQ = ON) A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is active until the setpoint

condition is met. Then it is latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.

BATSTART Starts a batch process. BATSTOP Stops a batch; any restart starts the batch at the beginning. BATRESET Resets the batch process so the pointers are aimed at first batching setpoint. BATPAUSE Pauses a batch, but allows it to restart at the point where it was paused.

Table 8-1. Batch Choice Descriptions

To use batch setpoints, you must activate the BATCHG parameter on the SETPTS menu. This parameter defines whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously, wh ile MANUAL sequences require a BATSTR signal. The BATSTR signal can be initiated by a digital input or serial command.

For setpoint kinds to be used as batch setpoints, the BATSEQ parameter must also be set to ON. If the setpoint is defined but the parameter is off, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint, even during batch sequences.

In applications that contain both batch setpoint routines and continuous setpoints, it is good practice to keep continuous setpoints separate from the batch sequence.

Do Not assign them the same digital output.

9.1 Error Messages

The 480 indicator provides a number of error messages. When an error occurs, the message is shown on the indicator LED display.

9.1.1 Displayed Error Messages

The 480 provides a number of front panel error messages to assist in problem diagnosis. Table 9-1 lists these messages and their meanings.

9.1.2 Using the XE EDP Command

The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query the 480 for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns two 5 digit numbers in the format:

xxxxx yyyyy

where xxxxx contains a decimal representation of any existing error conditions as described in Table 9-2. If more than one error condition exists, the number returned is the sum of the values representing the error

conditions. For example, if the XE command returns the number 1040, this value represents the sum of an A/D reference error (1024) and an A/D calibration checksum error (16).

The second number returned ( test for the error condition was run. For example, the value

yyyyy) uses the same bit assignments as shown in Table 9-2 to indicate whether the

yyyyy = 50815 represents the decimal equivalent of the

binary value 1100 0110 0111 1111. Using the bit assignments in Table 9 -2, this value indicates all tests were run.

9.2 Status Messages

Two EDP commands, P and ZZ, can be used to provide status about the indicator. These commands are described in the following sections.

9.2.1 Using the P EDP Command

The P EDP command returns the current displayed weight value, along with the units identifier. If the indicator is in an underrange or overload condition, the weight value is replaced with

9.2.2 Using the ZZ EDP Command

The ZZ EDP command can be used to remotely query which annunciators are currently displayed on the indicator front panel. The ZZ command returns the currently displayed weight and a decimal number representing the LED annunciators currently lit. The format of the returned data is:

wwwwww uu zzz

where wwwwww uu is the current displayed weight and units, and zzz is the annunciator status value (see Table 9-3). If more than one annunciator is lit, ZZZ is the sum of the values representing the active annunciators.

Demand Output Serial Data Format

The 480 uses a data string formatted in the print format parameters (depending on mode) for tick et printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator configuration.

You can customize the ticket to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote equipment. See Section 7.0 for more information on custom print formats.

DEVMOD should be set to NONE to use demand output on port 2. DEVMOD should be set to LOCAL to enable port 2 streaming.

Port 1 cannot be set to stream.

9.4 Local/Remote Operation

For systems that require two locations, local/remote support provides function equivalent to that of a legal-for-trade remote display with keypad. Scale data from the local indicator is also displayed at the remote unit, and keypad input from the remote allows transactions to be initiated from either the local or remote unit.

To configure for local/remote operation, set DEVMOD to local or remote. Once the local unit scale has been configured, use the SERIAL menu, serial commands, or Revolution to set the serial parameters for local/remote operation. See Table 3-4 for comport options.

Printing operation can be performed at the remote unit and/or at the local unit. When the operator presses the print key at the local unit, a printing ticket will be issued only locally. When the operator presses the print key at the remote unit, print will only occur at the remote unit.

9.5 Audit Trail Support

Audit trail support provides tracking information for configuration and calibration events. To prevent potential misuse, all configuration and calibration changes are counted as change events.

Audit trail information can be printed from Revolution or by sending the DUMPAUDIT serial command. See Figure 3-4. Revolution can be used to display audit trail information. The audit trail display includes the legally relevant (LR) version number (software version for the code that provides audit trail information), a calibration count and, if REGULAT=NTEP, a configuration count. The exact format of the information shown depends on the regulatory agency specified for the REGULAT (FEATURE menu) parameter.

See Section 1.5.10 for steps to view the Audit Trail.

For NTEP and Measure Canada modes, there are two numbers displayed; Configs and Calibs. The Configs number

tracks changes to the legally relevant configuration parameter changes. The Calibs number tracks changes to the scale calibration.

In OIML mode, there is only one number displayed; Audit Trail. The Audit trail number is incremental for any

legally relevant configuration parameter changes and all calibration changes. The last date the scale was calibrated is also displayed.

9.6 ASCII Character Chart

Use the decimal values for ASCII characters listed in Tables 9-5 and 9-6 when specifying print format strings on the 480 PFORMT menu. The actual character printed depends on the character mapping used by the output device.

The 480 can send or receive any ASCII character value (decimal 0–255), but the indicator display is limited to numbers, upper-case, unaccented letters, and a few special characters. See Section 9.7 for information about the 480 LED display.

9.8 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units

Note

The 480 has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly display those results with a press of the

UNIT key.

Secondary units can be specified on the FORMAT menu using the SECNDR parameter.

Multipliers are preconfigured within the indicator.

Ensure that the secondary decimal point position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary units. If the converted value requires more digits than are available, the indicator will display an overflow message (OVERFL).

For example, if the primary units are short tons, secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal point is set to

8888.88, the indicator will overflow if 5 tons or more are applied to the scale. With 5 tons applied, and a conversion factor of 2000, the secondary units display needs five digits to the left of the decimal point to display the 10000 lb secondary units value.

9.9 Digital Filtering

Digital filtering can be used to create a stable scale reading in challenging environments. The 480 has three filtering methods that can be set; Sample rate, Digital filter, and Stability filter.

9.9.1 Sample Rate:

The Sample rate should be set first. Better stability is achieved with a lower sample rate setting, so 5 Hz is more stable than 40 Hz. With the other filters disabled, determine the amount of instability that is present. Convert this instability to display division. The number of display division of instability will be used to set the threshold of the digital filter.

9.9.2 Digital Filter:

The digital filter is an advanced adaptive filter that has two parameters to set the filter settling and response times: sensitivity and threshold. The digital filter can be set on or off with the parameter

DIGFIL.

Digital Filtering Sensitivity

Digital filtering sensitivity (DFSENS) controls the stability and settling time of the scale. The sensitivity parameter can be set to heavy, medium, or light. A heavy setting will result in an output that is more stable and will settle more quickly than that of a light. However, small changes in weight data (a few grads) on the scale base will not be seen as quickly.

If the difference in typical subsequent weight values on your scale will be only a few grads, use a light setting. If using a truck scale where the changes in subsequent weight values will be 100s of grads, a heavy setting will be more appropriate.

Digital Filtering Threshold

Digital filtering threshold (DFTHRH) should be set for the amount of observed noise in the system. This parameter can be set in the range of 0 to 999999 display divisions. When a new sampled weight value is acquired, the adaptive filter compares the new value to the previous (filtered) output value. If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is greater than the

DFTHRH parameter (displayed division) the adaptive filter

output is flushed. The newly acquired sample value replaces the filtered output. If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is less than the

DFTHRH parameter, the two values are averaged together using

a weighted average. This is based on the amount of the difference, time the system has been stable, and selected

DFSENS value.

9.9.3 Stability Filter:

The Stability filter is between the Adaptive Digital Filter and the Displayed We ight. When the weight change is within the motion band parameter, a rolling average filter is applied to the displayed value. The parameters used in this filter are Motion band, Read Stability and Read Motion.

Motion Band

Set the Motion Band (MOTBAN) for the amount of weight fluctuation (displayed divisions) that is acceptable as a stable condition. For bench and floor scales is this usually 1 display division. For truck scales, this is usually 3 display divisions.

Read Stability

Note

The parameter Read Stability (RD-STA) is set for the number of A/D cycles that must fall within the motion band before the stability annunciator will light. The setting controls the motion band window length, by counting the number of A/D cycles. When stability is determined, this same number of A/D cycles is now averaged through a rolling filter to further enhance stability.

Read Motion

The parameter Read Motion (RD-MOT) is set for the number of A/D cycles that must consecutively exceed the motion band setting, before motion is detected and the stability annunciator is turned off. For Legal for Trade application this value should be set at 1 or 2, unless the motion band value is reduced to a lower value.

9.10 Analog Output Calibration

The following calibration procedure requires a multimeter to measure voltage or report output from the analog output module. See Figure 3-15 for Analog Output menu structure.

The analog output must be calibrated after the indicator itself has been configured (see Section 3.0) and calibrated (see Section 4.0).

1. Enter configuration mode and go to the ALGOUT menu (see Figure 3-15).

• Set source to GROSS or NET, depending on the weight value to be tracked by the analog output

• Set OFFSET to 0% for 0–10V/0-20mA output, 20% for 2-100V/4–20 mA output

• Set MIN to lowest weight value to be tracked by the analog output

• Set MAX to highest weight value to be tracked by the analog output

2. Connect multimeter to analog output:

• For voltage output, connect voltmeter leads to pins three and four

• For current output, connect ammeter leads to pins one and two

3. Adjust zero calibration: Scroll to the TWZERO parameter. Check voltage or current reading on multimeter. Press or to select the digit to edit and or to adjust the value of selected (flas hing) digit to s et the zero value.

4. Adjust span calibration: Scroll to the TWSPAN parameter. Check voltage or current reading on multimeter. Press or to select the digit to edit and or to adjust the value of selected (flas hing) digit to s et the span value.

5. Final zero calibration: Return to the TWZERO parameter and verify that the zero calibration has not drifted. Press or to select the digit to edit and or to adjust the value of selected (flashing) digit to set the zero value.

6. Return to normal mode. Analog output function can be verified using test weights.

9.11 Test Mode

In addition to normal and setup modes, test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the 480, including:

• Display raw A/D count

• Reset configuration parameters to default values

• Number of weighments over threshold

• View the state of the digital inputs

• Control the state of the digital outputs

• Test the analog output

1. Enter configuration mode by removing the large fillister head screw from the back of the enclosure.

2. Then insert a nonconductive tool into the access hole and press the configuration switch. Indicator display changes to show

3. Navigate over to

Figure 3-17 shows the Test Menu structure and Table 3-14 summarizes the test menu functions.
