2.4.6 Reset Switch

The reset switch enables a simulated power up reset. It then goes back to normal operation mode. The reset switch eliminates having to unplug the unit to do a reset. Refer to Figure 2-8 on page 7 for the reset switch location on the CPU board.

2.4.7 Communicating with Indicators and LEDs

Small LEDs located on the CPU board flash when serial data is received or sent. The transmit indicators flash when data is being sent out of the port. The receive indicator flashes when the data is received. A steady indicator on any receive LED reflects a connection with no streaming data. See to Figure 2-9 on page 7 for communication indicator locations on the CPU board.

2.4.8 Decimal Point (7-Segment Display)

The primary display board has decimal LED’s. These can be changed to commas by moving a jumper located on the front of the display board shown in Figure 3-2 on page 10.

Ensure that the decimal point/comma jumper

is in the proper position on the display board.

3.0 Configuration

Once the LaserLight remote display is installed, it may need to be configured if your indicator requires special settings. This can be done manually and is explained in Section 3.2.

Using Auto-Learn (Section 3.1) simplifies installation by automatically detecting and data rate used by the indicator and eliminates

the need for configuration.

3.1 Auto-Learn

The LaserLight remote display incorporates a software feature called Auto-Learn. Auto-Learn examines the serial data stream sent from the attached indicator and attempts to determine the data settings and format used by the indicator.

Auto-Learn occurs automatically when Port 0 is not locked via software (Table 3-5), and the connecting indicator is con automatically if the currently stre

amed format changes. LaserLight will Auto-Learn by itself in most cases. Or,

you can force this by pressing the external Auto-Learn button. Use the following quick steps for Auto-Learn.

1. Open the enclosure per disa

ssembly instructions in Section 2.2 on page 3 and connect the serial

interface.

2. Visually inspect that the Auto-L

earn button is connected to J5 on the CPU board (see Figure 3-1 for

plug-in location).

3. Power up the remote display.

4. Momentarily press the Learn button.

5. Use the right and left buttons to shift the displayed data string if the displayed weight with LSD.

NOTES:

• If you are using an indicator with a Toledo T8142 format, follow steps 1 throug h 5 and then go to SP IND in the serial me

nu. Select 1 under special indicators.

resistors so that the operation of the traffic light can be controlled by switching the Dig 0 or Dig 1 (or both) to ground.

NOTE: a reset to the Laserlight CPU board will set J1) to a high pulled up state therefore, the default state of the traffic light will be a stop light (red).

4.5.2 Single Switch Wiring

If a single switch is used for controlling the traffic light, the user must select which two states (out of the f our possible), they wish to see.

4.5.3 Two Switch Wiring

If two switches are used for controlling the traffic light it is possible for the user to obtain any or all combinations of the four possible states. Both switches with contacts closed will give the OFF condition, both switches with contacts open will give the STOP condition, and one switch open and the other closed will give either the Go or Arrow condition.

Connect the wires using the following procedures below.

Signal Dig 1 Signal Dig 0 Signal

Stop Open (H) Open (H)

Arrow Open (H) Closed (L)

Go Closed (L) Open (H)

Off Closed (L) Closed (L)

Table 4-4. Traffic Option Wiring

An example procedure for connecting DIG 1 is shown below.

1. Disconnect the wire connecting D1 (pin 6 on J1) of the

CPU to Dig 1 (pin 3 on J1) of the traffic light pcb

at the CPU connector.

2. Solder the wire going to Dig 1 on the traffic light board to the wire that

the indicator and the Laserlight does not exist i.e.: fiber optic communication is used, then an additional wire will be needed for connecting the switch to the ground on the Laserlight CPU).

NOTE: This connection will not harm the CPU board since the digital outputs on the CPU board are designed to be pulled low.
