CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE 200 SERIES DIGITAL INDICATORS

The 200 Series Digital Indicator is a general purpose, industrial grade weight indicator. Five models are
currently available, distinguishable by display type, enclosure type and power supply. Table 1-1 shows
the 200 Series product matrix.

All models operate identically, can readout up to 50,000 display divisions and can supply enough current
for up to 4-350Ω load cells. All setup parameters may be entered via the front panel keys, including
calibration.

For certain models, an internal 6V rechargeable battery is available as the primary power source. The
external power supply with these units functions as a charger for the rechargeable battery. The power
supply may also be used as the main power supply.

If your Model 200 Series Digital Indicator is part of a complete floor scale or has been installed for you,
you may skip to Chapter 7 for operating instructions. Prior to using the indicator, please read this chapter
carefully and completely. Store the manual in a safe and convenient place so it will be available if you
have questions concerning the operation of the scale.

If you are an installer, the indicator's installation and wiring instructions are found in Chapter 2. The
indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu, which configures the indicator to your
weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu, which configures the serial communication port and enables
some user options. Chapter 3 gives an overview and explains how to use the five front panel keys to
maneuver and save settings in both menus. Chapters 4 and 5 explain the Setup and User Menu options,
respectively. Chapter 6 covers system calibration. Prior to installing the indicator, please read this manual
carefully and completely. Store the manual in a safe and convenient place so it will be available if you
have questions concerning the setup and operation of the scale.

seconds or more, scale is in standstill and can process a Print or Zero
command. Maximum value varies depending on local regulations.

Averages weight readings to produce higher stability. The higher the
filter setting, the greater the stability but the slower the indicator’s
response time. Choose 8 unless a very fast response is needed.

CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION

6.1 CALIBRATION OVERVIEW

The indicator is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in F16 (Zero) and
F17 (Span) of the Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the indicator's
non-volatile memory - F16 the zero value (deadweight) and F17 the span value (test
weight). The minimum test weight that can be used is 1% of full-scale capacity. After
the two calibration procedures are executed successfully, you should record both
calibration values in Table 6-1 using the F18 View procedure.

In the unlikely event that either value is lost while in the field, the setup menu makes provisions for
re-entering these values via F19 and F20, thus eliminating the need for re-calibration with test
weights.

NOTE: This chapter assumes that the indicator is in Setup (“F”) Menu mode. If the indicator is not

in Setup Menu mode, refer to Chapter 3 for instructions.

6.2 ZERO CALIBRATION (F16)

1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 16", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter
zero calibration menu. The display will momentarily show "C 0" followed by a value. This value

is the internal A/D count and can prove useful when trying to troubleshoot setup problems.

2. After making sure that there are no test weights on the platform, press the ZERO key again to
zero out the displayed value.

3. Press the NET/GROSS key to save the zero point value. The display will show "EndC0"

momentarily, then revert back up to F16. At this time, proceed to the F17 span calibration to
complete indicator calibration.

6.3 SPAN CALIBRATION (F17)

1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 17", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter

span calibration menu.

5. The display will momentarily show "C 1" for the span calibration, followed by a value with one

flashing digit. This value will be zero with the Decimal Point parameter selected in F10. Place
the test weight on the weighing mechanism.

6. Use the four directional keys (shown in Figure 6-1 below) to adjust the displayed value to the
actual test weight value. Increase the flashing digit by pressing the UNITS key. Decrease the
flashing digit by pressing the ZERO key. Pressing the PRINT key or the TARE key will change
the position of the flashing digit.

4. After setting the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value.

5. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "EndC1" momentarily, then revert back

up to F17. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see
Section 6.4).

6. If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the

indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration.

"Err0" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is larger than the full

capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data.

"Err1" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is smaller than 1% of the full

capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data.

"Err2" - The internal resolution of the scale is not high enough to accept the calibration value.

Select a larger parameter for the Span Gain (F2). SEE APPENDIX C FOR MORE
INFORMATION.

6.4 VIEW CALIBRATION VALUES (F18)

Note: The values displayed in this procedure are valid only after a successful calibration has been

performed using F16 and F17.

1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 18", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter

View calibration menu.

2. The display will momentarily show "CAL 0" followed by a value. This value is the zero
calibration value and should be recorded in the table below. Press any key to continue.

3. The display will momentarily show "CAL 1" followed by another value. This value is the span
calibration value and should also be recorded in the table below. Press any key to return to

CHAPTER 7: OPERATION

7.1 DISPLAY

As mentioned in Chapter 1, some models utilize a 6 digit LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) while others
utilize a 6-digit LED (Light Emitting Diode) display. Typically, LCD’s are used for outdoor applications
while LED’s are used indoors where brightness is needed. Table 7-1 summarizes both types of
display annunciators.

7.3 GENERAL SCALE OPERATION

7.3.1 WEIGHING AN ITEM

1. Select the desired weighing unit by pressing the lb/kg key until that unit is indicated on

the display.

2. If necessary, press the ZERO key to obtain a weight reading of zero.

3. Place the object to be weighed on the scale’s platter and allow the weight indication to

stabilize. If the item weight exceeds the scale’s weight capacity, it displays “SSSSSS”.

4. Read the weight shown on the display.

7.3.2 TARING AN ITEM

To weigh an item in a container, the weight of that container must first be subtracted from
the overall weight to obtain an accurate weight reading. This is known as taring.

1. Select the desired weighing unit by pressing the lb/kg key until that unit is indicated on

the display.

2. If necessary, press the ZERO key to obtain a weight reading of zero.

3. Place the empty container on the scale’s platter and allow the weight indication to

stabilize.

4. Press the TARE key. The display shows zero weight and turns the NET annunciator on.

5. Place the material to be weighed in the container and allow the weight indication to

stabilize.

6. Read the weight shown on the display.

7.3.3 PIECE COUNTING

IMPORTANT NOTE: The piece counting function cannot be used in commercial (NTEP)

applications.

This mode is used to indicate the number of pieces of an item you have placed on the
scale’s platform and is accessed by pressing the UNITS key. To ensure accuracy, the parts
you are counting must be consistent in weight.

The indicator uses the sampling method to determine the average piece weight (APW) of
the items you wish to count. When sampling items, always count the parts in your hand and
place them on the platform all at once. If the APW of the items is too light or the total weight
of the sample is too light, accuracy cannot be guaranteed. You will get an error message,
but piece counting will still be allowed.

1. If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container off

by pressing the TARE key.

NOTE: The TARE key is inoperative when in sampling mode.

2. Press the UNITS key until “5 0” is indicated on the display. If the screen does not show

“5 0”, press the ZERO key once. The indicator is prompting you to place five identical
items on the platform.

NOTE: If you wish to change the sample number, simply press the UNITS key repeatedly

until the desired sample number appears. Available choices are 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. If
you continue to push the UNITS key, the indicator will resort back to weighing mode and
you must start again from Step 2.

3. Place the sample items on the platform all at once and allow the weight indication to

stabilize. Once this is done, the zero indicated after the sample number will change to a
“–“. For example, “5 –“.

4. Press the NET/GROSS key to take the sample. If the sample size is large enough, the

indicator now displays the number of pieces on the platform and the “PCS” annunciator is
lit. If not, the indicator briefly displays “Lo” and automatically increments the sample size.
Repeat Step #4 with the new sample size.

NOTE: If the indicator continues to display “Lo” even after sampling 100 pieces, the unit

weight of the items you wish to count is too light for your scale to process accurately.

5. To exit the piece count mode, press the UNITS key.

NOTE: The APW will NOT remain in scale memory when you exit piece counting mode.

7.3.4 PEAK HOLD OPTION – Offered only on the 200E and 200ES

Overview

1. The indicator has two modes of operation: NORMAL OPERATING mode and PEAK-HOLD mode.

2. Press the lb/kg key to toggle the indicator back and forth between NORMAL OPERATING mode and

PEAK-HOLD mode.

7

Available only on newer 200E and 200ES indicators at this time.

7-4

Normal Operating Mode

1. All keys perform as described in the manual while in this mode.

Peak-Hold Mode

1. In this mode, the display updates as the load increases, but not as the load decreases. The value on
the screen is the peak value.

2. The ZERO key clears the previously stored peak value.

3. The NET/GROSS and TARE keys are locked out in this mode.

4. The PRINT key operates as it does in the NORMAL OPERATING mode.

APPENDIX C: DETERMINING PROPER SPAN GAIN (F2)

C.1 SPAN GAIN OVERVIEW

The Span Gain parameter found in F2 of the Setup Menu is directly related to the ADC (Analog to
Digital Converter) integration time. This means that the lower the setting, the higher the number of

measurements per second. A span gain setting of 25 produces about 25 to 30 measurements per
second, while a span gain of 200 produces only about 3 or 4 measurements per second.

There is really no wrong setting for span gain – except in two cases. Using a low setting for a high
resolution, low output system could yield instability. Using a high setting in a high output system
could yield non-linearity.

C.2 SETTING THE INITIAL VALUE FOR SPAN GAIN

1. Determine the number of desired external graduations and choose the corresponding value
listed in Table C-1 or Table C-1a under the number closest to your full-scale input range in
millivolts.

2. Enter the Setup Menu and save this number for the Span Gain parameter in F2.

3. Perform a system calibration. If the calibration proves unsuccessful, or you wish to view the
internal counts, proceed to the next set of instructions.

C.3 VIEWING THE INTERNAL COUNTS

1. Enter the zero calibration menu (F16) and follow steps 1 to 3, but do not save the zero point.

2. After pressing ZERO to zero the offset, place the test weight(s) on the platform. The displayed

count is the internal count. If the count remains on zero, check your load cell connections.

3. At full scale, the displayed count should be a minimum of 2 times the desired external
graduations. However, for maximum stability, a ratio of 6:1 or higher is recommended.

4. If the displayed count is large enough, remove the test weight(s), re-zero the indicator if

necessary, and proceed with the calibration. If the displayed number is not large enough,

increase the Span Gain to the next highest choice in the Setup Menu and re-calibrate.

APPENDIX E: Addendum for 4-20 mA Option

GENERAL INFORMATION

Some models provide a passive analog 4-20 mA output on two terminals. These terminals are
covered in Chapter 2

The output tracks the weight displayed on the indicator, so you must first have the indicator
configured and calibrated correctly in order for it to work properly.

Here is a working connection diagram used at the factory to test:

24 VDC

4-20A or AA

4-20B or BB

NOTE 1: In your application, substitute the actual input device for R

R = 250 ohms

L

. If your input device is

L

polarized, connect the common lead to the negative lead of the 24 VDC power supply and the
positive lead to the BB (4-20B) wire.

NOTE 2: The AA (4-20A) and BB (4-20B) wires are not polarized. You may connect them in any

manner you wish.

NOTE 1: Do NOT connect the indicator ground to the PLC ground.

Here is how to test to see if it is working correctly:

1. Configure and calibrate the indicator to your load device. Ensure the weighing function is
working properly.

2. Connect the AA (4-20A) and BB (4-20B) output wires to an external 24 VDC power supply
and 250 Ω resistor as shown in the above test diagram.

3. When the indicator is displaying zero, the output should be 4 mA. Since V=IR, you should
measure 1 VDC across R

.

L

4. When the indicator is displaying the full-scale load, the output should be 20 mA. Again, since
V=IR, you should measure 5 VDC across R

Here is how you fine-tune the output using F23:

.

L

1. Enter the Setup Menu and scroll to F23. For directions on entering the Setup Menu, see
Chapter 3 of the manual.

2. Push the down (ZERO) key once. The indicator outputs 4 mA and displays a number.

3. While monitoring the voltage across RL, use the right (PRINT) or left (TARE) keys to change
the displayed value until the measured voltage is exactly 1 VDC.

4. Press the SET (Net/Gross) key to save. The indicator outputs 20 mA and displays another
number.

5. While monitoring the voltage across R

, use the right (PRINT) or left (TARE) keys to change

L

the displayed value until the measured voltage is exactly 5 VDC.

6. Press the SET (Net/Gross) key to save and revert back to F23.
