3 General Operation
The layout of the M2000 indicator is shown below.
3.1 Keypad Functions Keys
The M2000 has several function keys, all of which are selected via the front
panel. The function key operations are discussed below. All the keys have
audio feedback when a key is pressed. The sound volume can be set in
calibration mode.
A description of the important keys and buttons are as follows:
Indicator [ZERO] Key
Indicator [TARE] Key
Indicator [PRINT/SELECT] Key
3.1.1 On/Off Key
This is the ON/OFF button for the indicator. Pressing the switch once turns
on the indicator. To turn off the indicator press the switch for 1 second. It is
important to note that there is a power bypass switch option flag that can be
set in calibration (parameter 10). If power bypass is enabled the indicator will
always be on and cannot be turned off via the ON/OFF button. This option
7
should be used if the indicator is used in process control applications where
the indicator must power up running after a power outage.
When the indicator starts “m2000" will scroll across the screen followed by
the version number of the software. The indicator performs a full diagnostic
of its internal circuits and will display any error messages if there is an
internal problem with the indicator.
When the indicator is in calibration mode this key can be used to toggle
between displayed weight and AD converter internal counts.
3.1.2 ZERO Key
This key is used to zero the indicator. The scale cannot be zeroed if there is
motion on the scale or the weight on the scale is out of the zero range.
Three quick beeps will sound from the indicator if the zero key is unable to
zero the indicator.
This key also functions as a ZERO key when the indicator is in calibration
mode.
3.1.3 TARE Key
This key is used for taring weight on the scale. A tare can also be entered
from the keypad. To tare from the scale simply press the tare key and what
ever the weight on the scale will be tared. The NET indicator light should be
illuminated showing that the indicator is in net weight display mode.
To manually tare from the keypad enter the weight using the numeric keypad
followed the tare key. The indicator will only accept a tare from a stable and
valid positive weight.
An invalid tare will cause error message 41 to be displayed. Pressing the tare
key will always overwrite any previously stored tare weight. Use the clear key
to clear the tare weight.
It is important to note that the tare key can be disabled in the calibration
menu using parameter 50.
3.1.4 CLEAR Key
This will clear any previously entered tare values entered using the tare key.
Clear will also function as an escape key to cancel any key entry operations.
3.1.5 PRINT SELECT Key
Print select is a dual function key. Pressing the key will cause a ticket to be
printed to a connected printer. If you have typed a numeric value from the
keyboard followed by the PRINT SELECT key then the key acts as a function
select key. More information on this will be discussed below.

3.2 Special Keypad Functions
Keypad functions are selected by entering a numeric function code on the
keypad followed by the PRINT SELECT key. Some functions are marked on
the key itself. The most common functions are discussed below.
3.2.1 Selecting scale channels
The M2000 has three independent scale channels. Press the channel number
followed by the PRINT SELECT key as shown below.
To select channel 1 press 1 followed by the print select key.
To select channel 2 press 2 followed by the print select key.
To select channel 3 press 3 followed by the print select key.
Note: that by default only channel 1 is enabled. To enable channels 2 and 3 you
must enter calibration mode and use parameter 98 to enable them. Trying to select
a scale channel that is not enabled will display error message 40.
3.2.2 Summing channels in TOTAL mode
Up to 3 channels may me summed together to display a total weight. An
example of an application that may require this operation would be a truck
scale with three sections. Each section would be a separate channel on the
indicator allowing the operator to simultaneously record the total weight of
the vehicle along with the individual axle weights of the truck.
To enter total mode press 4 followed by the print select key. Total mode
must be enabled before it can be used. Parameter 70 in calibration mode is
used to enable the total mode function. Enter 1 followed by the TARE key to
enable TOTAL mode. Total mode cannot be used for legal for trade
applications in Canada. Only channels that are enabled and calibrated with the
same grad size, decimals and units of weight will be displayed in total mode.
Total mode is indicated by illuminating more than one channel on the channel
indicators. Channel 1 is always part of the total.
Example:
Ch1 and 3 are calibrated as 2000 x 2 lbs and Ch2 is calibrated to 500 x 0.2 lb.
When you press 4 followed by the PRINT SELECT key the CH1 and CH3
indicators will illuminate showing that the weight on the display is the sum of
these two channels. Channel 2 however is excluded from the total as it is
calibrated in 0.2d instead of 2d for channels 1 and 3.
When the indicator is in TOTAL mode all the channel operations are
combined. Pressing the ZERO button will zero all the channels that are part
of the total. The TARE function will tare all channels simultaneously displaying
the total net weight. The motion indicator and center of zero indicators will
9
indicate the status of all the scales that are part of the total. For example
scale 1 may be at the center of zero, but channel 3 might not be at zero. The
center of zero indicator would then not illuminate reflecting that we are not
at zero.
To set the indicator back to single channel mode, select a channel followed
by the print select
3.2.3 Scan mode
Scan mode allows the indicator to cycle between the scale channels that are
enabled. The indicator will automatically switch the display to the next
available channel and pause for 3 seconds before switching to the next
channel. To stop scanning press a channel key followed by the print select
key.
To enter scan mode press 5 followed by the print select key.
3.2.4 Gross/Net
Pressing 6 followed by the print select key switches between displayed net
weight and gross weight.
3.2.5 Pound/Kilograms selection
To change the displayed units on the display press 7 followed by the print
select key. The indicator will toggle the displayed units on the display from lbs
to kgs or kgs to lbs. The units that the indicator uses as a default when
turning on the indicator is determined by the power up setting set in
calibration.
3.2.6 TEST display
To test the display segments press 8 followed by the print select key. All the
segments in the display will light up for a short period of time.
