Added a new value <AN> to the Print Formatting section of the manual (see Section
6.1, Table 6-1 on page 60).
Corre cted comparisons to reduce the number of power-up calibrations counted by Audit Trail.
Added the speed-up of loading a user program by only erasing needed memory blocks.
Version 3.10
Error Recovery - version 3.10.00 of the 920i now has a very sophisticated error recovery for the battery backed NVRAM. when a Save and Exit is performed after a Configuration and Calibration is performed, a copy of the NVRAM is stored in Flash for future recovery. If the 920i is powered off at any time and the battery is not at peak performance, the NVRAM could come up with corrupted data. The next time the 920i is powered up, the NVRAM is tested for a correct CRC checksum. If this is bad, there will be a special screen displayed showing the corrupt locations with directions to press ENTER to continue. The core will rewrite to NVRAM using the last copy of the last Save and Exit. At this time Date and Time are also checked. It will then open the Date/Time full screen edit function so the operator can check the current Date and Time. If correct, all that is needed is an ENTER key to continue. If incorrect, the operator can adjust the Date or Time and then push ENTER to continue. To ensure the latest copy of NVRAM is available for a power up, it is recommended that before powering down the 920i for either overnight outage or temporary storage, the unit should be put into setup mode and a Save and Exit performed which will save a new copy of the NVRAM. On Legal-For-Trade units, if this cannot be performed, then the
system will use the last Save and Exit and all databases and truck data should be uploaded to a PC prior to powering the 920i down.

2.0 Installation

This section describes procedures for connecting load cell, digital I/O, and serial communications cables to
920i indicator. Assembly drawings and
the replacement parts lists for the universal model are included for the service technician. See Section 10.12 on page 122 for dimension drawings of the all models.
Use a wrist strap to ground yourself and protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the indicator enclosure.
This unit uses double pole/neutral fusing which could cre
ate an electric shock hazard. Procedures requiring work inside the indicator must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
The supply cord serves as the power disconne
ct for the
920i. The power outlet
supplying the indicator must be installed near the unit and be easily accessible.

2.1 Unpacking and Assembly

Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the 920i 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 2.10 on page 17 for parts kit contents.

2.2 Enclosure Disassembly

The indicator enclosure must be opened to install option cards and to connect cables for installed option cards.
The 920i has no on/off switch. Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is
onnected from the power outlet.
disc
Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then place the indicator face-down 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 set it aside.

2.3 Cable Connections

The universal model of the 920i provides six cord grips for cabling into the indicator: one for the power cord, five to accommodate cabling for option cards. Install plugs in all unused cord grips to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure.

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 lockwashers, clamps, and kep nuts provided in the clamps on the enclosure studs adjacent to cord grips. Install grounding clamps only for cord grips that will be used; do not tighten nuts.

2.3.4 Digital I/O

Digital inputs can be set to provide many indicator functions, including all keypad functions. Digital inputs are active low (0 VDC), inactive high (5 VDC).
Digital outputs are typically used to control relays that
rive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink,
d rather than source, switching current. Each output is a normally open collector circuit, capable of sinking 24 mA when active. Digital outputs are wired to switch relays when the digital output is active (low, 0 VDC) with reference to a 5 VDC supply.

Digital inputs and outputs are configured using the DIG I/O menu. See Section 3.2.6 on page 50 for configuration information.
An optional 24-channel digital I/O expansion card,
7601, is available for applications requiring more
PN 6 digital I/O channels.
NOTE: Digital I/O points can be configured to count
active pulse inputs by setting them to PROGIN (DIGIN menu) and using the

3.0 Configuration

To configure the 920i indicator, the indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by removing the large fillister head screw on the backplate of the universal and deep enclosures. Switch position is changed by inserting a screwdriver into the access hole and pressing the switch.

3.1 Configuration Methods

The 920i indicator can be config ured by using the front panel keys to navigate through a series of configuration menus or by sending commands or configuration data to an indicator serial port. Configuration using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3.
Configuration using the serial port can be
complished using either the serial command set
ac described in Section 9.0 or the utility.
NOTE: Some configuration parameters, such as those
used to configure the
920i display and widgets, cannot
be accessed through the configuration menus. provides the most complete and efficient configuration interface for the

3.1.1 iRev Configuration

The iRev 4 configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the on a personal computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When configuration is complete, configuration data is downloaded to the indicator.
iRev 4 supports both uploading and downloading of
indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited, then downloaded to another indicator with an identical hardware configuration.

3.1.2 Serial Command Configuration

The serial command set can be used to configure the
920i indicator using either a personal computer,
terminal, or remote keyboard. Like
iRev 4, serial
command configuration sends commands to the indicator serial port; unlike
iRev 4, serial commands
can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial connection.
Serial commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and provide some functions not otherwise available. Serial commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See Section 9.0 on page 89 for more information about using the serial command set.

3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration

Use the CONFIG submenu under the SCALES menu to configure A/D scales. For example, in an indicator with a single-channel A/D card installed in Slot 1, the Scale Configuration display will show the A/D listed

3.1.4 Multi-Range and Multi-Interval Scales

The 920i supports multi-range and multi-interval scales of either two or three ranges or intervals.
Multi-range scales provide two or three ranges, each extending from zero to the maximum capacity specified for the range, that can specify different scale intervals (graduations). The scale interval changes as the applied weight increases but does not reset to lower range intervals until the scale returns to zero.
Multi-interval scales divide the scale into two or three partial weighing ranges, each with different scale intervals. The scale interval changes with both increasing and decreasing loads applied.
To configure a multi-range or multi-interval scale, use the SPLIT parameter to select 2RNG or 3RNG (for multi-range scales), or 2INTVL or 3INTVL (for multi-interval scales). Selecting a SPLIT value other than OFF allows specification of decimal point, display divisions, and maximum capacity for each range or interval.
The SPLIT parameter is used to enable multi-range or multi-interval. The SPLIT parameter is in the SCALES menu, see Figure 3-4, and Table 3-2. After setting the SPLIT parameter, the
Format menu
selection will change as shown in Figure 3-6, and Table 3-4.
If using streaming with multi-range or multi-interval, the stream must be set to Custom in
iRev 4. The
Tokens for Secondary and Tertiary Units must be set to L or K to match the Primary, refer to the Serial Menu, Tokens Parameter, in Section 3.2.2 on page 37. They can be set using
iRev 4 or through the front
panel. In multi-range, each range has its own capacity and
display division, extending from zero. The scale display division will increase at the entered range capacities, either two or three ranges. Once the range has increased to the next level, the display division will remain in new range until the scale returns to zero. The tare value can be taken in any range.
For example,
Range 1 is 0 - 3000 x 1 lb. Range 2 is 0 - 10,000 x 5 lb.
In multi-interval, the scale has one capacity, which is segmented into weighing intervals, either two or three intervals, each with different display division sizes. As the weight value exceeds an interval or set interval, the display division will increase, as the weight falls below an interval or set interval, the display division will decrease. The tare can only be taken in the first interval.
For example,
Range 1 is 0-30 x 0.01 lb. Range 2 is 30 - 60 x 0.02 lbs.

3.1.5 Total Scale Configuration

The output of two or more A/D scales or iQUBE2 systems can be configured to function as a total scale. Once configured and calibrated, the total scale can be used as a source for other system functions, including streaming, setpoints, print formatting, and analog output.
To set up a total scale from the indicator front panel, use the scale configuration display (see
Figure 3-2) to
select the A/D scales or iQUBE2 systems to configure as a total scale. (Use the
available A/D scales or
Change Type softkey to show
iQUBE
2
systems; use the right
navigation key to select the total scale sources.) In
iRev 4, assign the total scale to an unused position then
select source scales from the existing A/D scales or
iQUBE
2
systems.
The FORMAT configuration of the total scale (see Figure 3-5 on page 30) should match that of the source scales. However, the value specified for the total scale GRADS parameter should be specified as the sum of the GRADS values for the source scales. For example: if SCALE 1 is set to GRADS=10000, SCALE 2 to GRADS=5000, SCALE 3 (the total scale) should be set to 15000 grads.
The total scale will show an over-range indication if the maximum capacity of any source scale is exceeded, and show dashes if any source scale reads a negative value. Source scales will respond to Tare and Zero operations performed on the total scale.
