	Also used as a “scroll right” key to navigate to different menus or to toggle to another digit when editing a value.
TARE	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.
GROSS	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.

1.4 LED Annunciators

The 480 display uses a set of eight LED annunciators to provide additional information about the value being displayed.

	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.

Table 1-1. LED Annunciators

See Section 3.3.2 for more information about configuring primary and secondary display units.

2.0Installation

2.1Unpacking 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.

WARNING 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 Important 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.

2.3.1 Cable Grounding

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 (15 mm) past the grounding 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.

2.4 Option Card Installation

To install or replace the Analog Output Module (PN 131341, connector PN 76513) or Relay Board (PN 131342, connector PN 157223):

1.Disconnect power to the indicator. Remove backplate as described in Section 2.2 on page 10.

2.If not already in place, install an option card bracket (PN 131340). See Figure 2-3.

3.Mount the analog output module or relay card on the option card bracket in Figure 2-3.

4.Plug the module input into connector J13 on the CPU board.

5.Connect output cable to the analog output for either current or voltage (see Section 9.10 on page 59).

Note

Either slot position can be used for Analog Output Option. If slot one already has an option card in place, use slot 2.

2.5 Board Removal

If you must remove any 480 board, use the following procedure:

1.Disconnect power to the indicator. Remove backplate as described in Section 2.2 on page 10.

2.Disconnect board from power supply cable.

3.Unplug connectors. Label connections for reinstallation of board.

4.Remove the four screws from the board, then lift the board off the backplate.

To install a board, reverse the above procedure. Be sure to reinstall cable ties to secure all cables inside the indicator enclosure.

Note When removing lower boards, the upper boards and option bracket, if installed, will need to be removed first.

2.6 Enclosure Reassembly

Once cabling is complete, position the backplate over the enclosure and reinstall the backplate screws. Use the torque pattern shown in Figure 2-5 to prevent distorting the backplate gasket. Torque screws to 10 in-lb (1 N-m).

2.6.1 Seal the Indicator

Note For access to configuration parameters, the setup switch must be pressed.

Allows Service Access

The calibration cover is used for inserting a lead wire seal through both fillister screws and the plastic cover. The cover allows access to the electronics and electrical contacts, while preventing access into Legal for Trade configuration parameters.

There is an alternative cover over the A/D to ensure the A/D and load cell connection cannot be changed after the unit is sealed.

There is also an audit trail counter to track calibration and configuration changes made to legally relevant parameters.

Place the Calibration Cover on the backplate and secure with the existing fillister head screws and o-rings to seal the indicator for Legal for Trade approval.
