1.0 Introduction

The 420HE is a single-channel digital weight indicator housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66-rated FRP enclosure. The indicator front panel consists of a large (1.8 in, 44.5 mm), six-digit, seven-segment LED display and six-button keypad. Features include:
Drives up to eight 350or sixteen 700 load cells
Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections
Two configurable digital inputs
Two configurable digital outputs
Electronic data processing (EDP) port for full duplex, RS-232 communications at up to 38400 bps
Printer port for full duplex RS-232 or active transmit only 20 mA current loop communications at up to 38400 bps
Optional analog output module provides 0–10 VDC or 0–20/4–20 m A tracking of gross or net weight values
Available in 115 VAC and 230 VAC versions
The 420HE is NTEP-certified and pending Measurement Canada approval for Classes III, III HD, and III L at 10,000 divisions. See

1.1 Operating Modes

The 420HE has four modes of operation:
Normal (Primary) mode
Normal mode is the “default” mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as required, using the LED annunciators described in Section 1.3 on page 3 to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed. Once configuration is complete and a legal seal is affixed to the back of the indicator, this is the primary mode in which the 420HE can operate.
Section 7.12 on page 49 for detailed specifications.
Setup mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual require the indicator to be in setup mode, including configuration and calibration.
To enter setup mode, open enclosure and press the setup switch once. The indicator display changes to show the word CONFIG.
Test mode
Test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the 420HE indicator. Like setup mode, test mode is entered using the setup switch. See test mode.
NOTE: Test mode is intended for factory use only.
Front Panel Setup Mode
Hold the UNITS key for three seconds to enter front panel setup mode. Use front panel setup to change setpoint and to set the time and date.

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the CPU mounting plate. Do the following to ground shielded cables:
Use the lockwashers, clamps, and kep nuts provided in the parts kit to install grounding clamps on the enclosure studs adjacent to cord grips. Install grounding clamps only for cord grips that will be used; do not tighten nuts.
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 f
oil from the cable half an inch (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 in
sulation and braided shield from a point just past the grounding clamp. Strip another half inch (15 mm) of insulation only to 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 cla
mps. Ensure shields contact grounding clamps as shown in Figure 2-2. Tighten grounding clamp nuts.
Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to secur
e cables inside of indicator enclosure.

2.3.4 Digital I/O

Digital inputs can be set to provide several indicator functions, including all keypad func tions. The inputs are active (on) with low voltage (0 VDC) and can be driven by TTL or 5V logic without additional hardware. Use the DIG IN menu to configure the digital inputs. LED’s on the CPU board light when digital inputs are active.
Digital outputs are typically used to
control relays that drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink not source, switching current. Each output is a normally open connector circuit, capable of sinking 250 mA when active. Digital outputs are wired to switch relays when the digital output is active (low, 0 VDC) with reference to 5 VDC supply. LEDs on the CPU board light when the digital outputs are active.

3.0 Configuration

T o configure the 420HE indicator , the indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by opening the enclosure and pressing the setup switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word
CONFIG is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu is
the first of ten main menus used to configure the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are given in Section 3.2 on page 15. When configuration is complete, return to the CONF
IG menu and press the
(ZERO) key to exit setup mode.

3.1 Configuration Methods

The 420HE indicator can be configured by using the front panel keys to navigate through a series of configuration menus or by sending commands or configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3 on page 14.
Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished
ing either the EDP command set described in
us Section 5.0 or the
