1.2 Warnings

l Read all operating instructions carefully before use.
l Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your scale works best when
operated at normal room temperature. Always allow the scale to acclimate to a normal room temperature before use.
l Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale on and wait for a few minutes if
possible. This will give the internal components a chance to stabilize before weighing.
l These electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate near an
in-use cell phone, radio, computer or other electronic device. These devices emit RF and can cause unstable scale readings.
l Avoid using in heavy vibration and airflow conditions.
l Read the weight shortly after loading. The output of the loadcell and A/D
may be a little influenced after weight sits for a long time.
DANGER: FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALL MAINS (110V OR 230V) EQUIPMENT USED WHERE DAMP OR WET CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR MUST BE SUPPLIED FROM A CORRECTLY FUSED SOURCE AND PROTECTED BY AN APPROVED GROUND FAULT PROTECTION DEVICE (RCD, GFCI ETC).

Figure 3.2 SBI-521 Keypad
Table 3.2 Function of the Keys (Normal Working Mode)
If this key is only set for HOLD (P2=0), press to enter or exit the HOLD mode.
If this key is only set for PRINT (P2=1), press to output the data according to P4 setting.
If this key is only set for HOLD and PRINT (P2=2), press to output data according to P4 setting and hold the current weight.
Choose weighing units; lb, kg, lb:oz
Note: The weighing units that can be used are restricted by display division, and calibration weight unit (restricted by P8, P9, and P10)
For example, if the calibration unit is kg; calibration display resolution is 50kg (that means: P8=5, P9=0, P10=0). If the UNIT key is pressed to choose weighing units, lb or lb:oz are not allowed to choose since the display resolution of 100lb or 2000oz is not available to this indicator.
Tare function
This function can be activated only when the scale is in stable mode and the gross weight is not a negative value.
Power on
Zero function: When the weight is within zero range, it will activate as ZERO function and clear the tare weight. When the weight is not within the zero setting range (P13), the scale will show 0----- (zero point is over the setting range) or 0_____ (zero is below the setting range).
Power off
ignore modification
Prepare to exit from current working mode

5 Calibration

The config/cal switch must be set to the ON position in order to calibrate the indicator.
NOTE: More than 25% of the full scale weight is needed for calibration.

5.1 Calibration Mode

Before calibration, prepare the standard weight (more than 25% of full scale).
1. Remove any weight on the scale.
2. When in normal weighing mode, press and hold down [TARE] and [ON/OFF/ ZERO] keys to enter calibration mode.
3. When the indicator displays cal-, the scale is ready for calibration. Press [TARE] to confirm and go to next step or press [ON/OFF/ZERO] to exit the calibration mode.
4. The indicator will display cap--.
4a. This means the following data is the full capacity according to your setting of
display resolution (P7), display division value (P8), location of decimal point in calibration unit (P9) and capacity unit in calibration (P10).
4b. If the setting of full scale is more than 199999 (regardless of decimal point and
weight unit), the full scale capacity will be shown by first four digits and last four digits: Hxxx and Lxxx.
5. Press [TARE] to go to next step directly, press [ON/OFF/ZERO] to exit the calibration mode or after a few seconds it will automatically to next step.
6. The scale will automatically display the setting of division. Firstly it will display d.--, and then the data according to your setting of P8, P9 and P10. Refer to Table 5.1 to choose a division size.
Table 5.1 Divison Sizes
0.0001 kg/lb 0.0002 kg/lb 0.0005 kg/lb
0.001 kg/lb 0.002 kg/lb 0.005 kg/lb
0.01 kg/lb 0.02 kg/lb 0.05 kg/lb
0.1 kg/lb 0.2 kg/lb 0.5 kg/lb
1 kg/lb 2 kg/lb 5 kg/lb
10 kg/lb 20 kg/lb 50 kg/lb
7. Press [TARE] to go to next step directly, press [ON/OFF/ZERO] to exit the calibration mode or after a few seconds it will automatically to next step.
8. CAL.P0 is displayed. This is the scale zero point. Remove weight from scale and press the [TARE] key.
PS1000/2000 User Instructions 25
Page 28
9. Cal.p1 will be displayed. This is the second calibration point. The default standard weight is 50% of full scale. Load weight from 12.5% to 100% of full scale.
10. Use the [PRINT/HOLD] and [UNIT] keys to input the loaded weight.
10a. If the input data is larger than 199999 it will be shown by first four digits and
last four digits: Hxxx and Lxxx.
10b. If the triangular symbol on the left bottom of LCD window appears, it means
that the digit being changed is the displayed most significant bit which can only be 0/blank or 1.
11. Press the [TARE] key to confirm your setting and the indicator will flash the input standard weight. Wait till the scale comes steady and input A/D data as per the standard weight.
12. Cal.p2 will be displayed. This is the third calibation point. When xxxxxx kg (or lb) is displayed (100% FS is default), you can press [ON/OFF/ZERO] to exit the calibration mode or place a standard weight (must be in the range of 25%­100% FS, and equal or larger than that for the second calibration point; this is also the range of your input number) on the scale.
13. Use the [PRINT/HOLD] and [UNIT] keys to input the loaded weight.
14. Use [TARE] key to confirm the standard weight and input number are correct.
14a. If the calibration weight for third point is same with that for second point and
the calibration weight is more than 25%FS, input the standard calibration weight same as second point calibration and press [TARE] key to confirm the setting. The indicator will flash the input weight. If the indicator get reasonable data (the input weight is correct, and the calibration weight of third calibration is more than equal to the calibration weight of second calibration), it will go to next step.
15. Cal.p0 will be displayed again. Press [TARE]. The display will blink. If the calibration is good the data will be saved. The display will perform an auto reset and return to the working mode.
15a. If an error occurs during calibration, cal.er will be displayed. Start from step
1 and recalibrate.

5.2 Display ADC Code or Working Voltage Value

In this mode, you can examine the stability of weighing system and increment the ADC output code corresponding to the loaded weight.
Note:
l The increment of ADC code for full scale weight must be larger or equal to 2
times of selected display division. Otherwise, the calibration cannot be properly completed.
m e.g. The display division is 0.1kg. Load 100kg standard weight on the
platform, the increment of ADC code should be at least more than 2x100kg/0.1kg= 2x1000=2000. In this case, the scale can be calibrated. Otherwise, smaller division needs to be chosen.
l The data should be stable. Otherwise, the calibration cannot be properly
completed.
26 PS1000/2000 User Instructions
Page 29
In this mode, the proper ADC data at zero point can be viewed by examining the A/D data for loaded weight.
m If the ADC increase for full capacity is NFS, the power-on zero range is
set to Zp% FS (P12 setting) and zero key range is set to Zk% FS (P13 setting). Then proper ADC data of zero point is larger than (Zp%+ Zk%) x NFS.
1. From the weigh mode press and hold the [ON/OFF/ZERO] and [HOLD/PRINT] key until Code is shown. The indicator will show the firmware version.
2. ADC increase for full capacity (NFS) can be make by loading the weight (W) on the platform and the ADC increase for W weight is Nw. The ADC increase for full capacity WFS is (NFS)= (Nw)x (WFS)/W.
2a. It is possible a negative value will be displayed due to an error from the
loadcell(s) or the position of the zero-point potentiometer on PCB. However, the software only deals with positive values. In this case the position of zero­point potentiometer will need to be adjusted to make the ADC data will be positive value and larger than (Zp%+ Zk%) x NFS. Normally the indicator is factory-calibrated and adjustment is not necessary. Refer to Figure 5.1 for the zero point potentiometer location. Decrease ADC data by rotating clockwise, and increase ADC data by rotating counter-clockwise.
Figure 5.1 Zero Point Potentiometer Location
3. Press the [UNIT] key to select the ADC weight inner code or input the inner working voltage value. When Ux.xx is displayed, the displayed digits are the voltage value. The proper working power voltage is between 5V - 8V.
4. Press the [TARE] key to display filtered or unfiltered weigh A/D data. When is on the data is filtered.
5. Press the [ON/OFF/ZERO] key to exit this mode and return to the normal weighing mode.

6.2 Protocol

The baud rate and byte format is fixed by P5 and P6 settings.
Responses to serial commands will be immediate or within one weight measure cycle of the scale. One second should be adequate for use as a time-out value by remote (controlling) device.

6.3 Transaction String

The length of the weight field will be 7 digits. One digit for minus sign, one for decimal point, 2 for unit of measure.
l If the unit is lb:oz, another two for lb and on for a space after lb. Units of
measure abbreviations are always lower case.
l If the weight is over capacity, the scale will return nine "^" characters (the
field of minus sign, decimal point, weight data is filled by "^").
l If the weight is under capacity, it will return nine "_" characters (the field of
minus sign, decimal point, and weight data is filled by "_").
l If the zero point is error, it will return nine "_" characters. The character will
be “-” for negative weight or a space character for positive weight. Minus sign follow after the first digit.
Useless leading 0 before digits is suppressed.
