1.2 Capacities and Resolutions

Table 1-1 lists the scale capacities and resolutions for all part numbered models of the Counterpart. Counting scales specify two types of resolution:
• Weight (or external) resolution
• Counting (or internal) resolution
Weight resolution is displayed in divisions of the full scale capacity, which is divided into weight increments. For example, a 5 lb scale divided into 10,000 display divisions would display weight with 0.0005 lb divisions (10,000 divisions x 0.0005 lb = 5.0 lb).
Counting resolution is based on the internal resolution of the scale. The default weight and counting resolutions for the Counterpart capacities are shown below.
Platform Capacity Weighing Resolution Counting Resolution Platform Dimensions
5.0 lb (2 kg) 0.0005 lb (0.0002 kg) 0.000005 9 in. x 12 in. 10 lb (5 kg) 0.001 lb (0.0005 kg) 0.00001 11 in. x 16 in. 25 lb (10 kg) 0.002 lb (0.001 kg) 0.00002 50 lb (20 kg) 0.005 lb (0.002 kg) 0.00005 100 lb (50 kg) 0.01 lb (0.005 kg) 0.0001

2.14 Bracket Assembly Connecting Indicator to Scale Base

The Counterpart scale comes with an easy bracket assembly that conveniently hooks the indicator head to the scale base. There are two bracket assemblies that can be used to attach the indicator to the scale base depending on which scale base is being used.
• DIGI S-XL base bracket assembly kit number 121459
• DIGI S-YC base bracket assembly kit number 154700
The associated assembly is found in the scale base box and is shown below.
Figure 2-16. Bracket Assembly Kit for the Counterpart Scale Base
Use the following steps to attach the indicator to the scale base.
Do not turn the scale upside down. Always work with the scale on its side. Damage to the load cell can occur if the scale is turned upside down.
Installation 17
1. Stand scale base on its side to attach the bracket to the scale using the screws provided in the bracket kit.
Note
The DIGI S-YC scale base comes with notched holes in the bracket assembly. While plugging in the AC adapter, slide the bracket assembly forward to allow more room to work. Once the AC adapter is connected, slide the bracket assembly back and finish tightening the screws.
2. Ensure that the cable underneath the scale base is threaded through the opening between the scale and the bracket, otherwise it will not fit.(shown in Figures 2-18 and 2-19).
Figure 2-17. Attach Bracket Assembly to Scale Base While Scale Is Tipped on its Side (DIGI S-XL Base Shown).

3.3 Revolution Configuration

The Revolution configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the Counterpart indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution configuration is complete, configuration data is downloaded to the indicator.
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading of indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited, and then downloaded to another indicator with an identical hardware configuration.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible personal computer.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off, connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on the indicator serial port or to the optional USB communications card.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode.
4. Start the Revolution program.
Figure 3-3. Revolution Display
Revolut ion provides on line help for each of its configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this manual for front panel configuration can also be used when configuring the indicator using Revolu tion — the interface is different, but the parameters sets are the same.
