1.3. STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE
The performance of any count-by-weighing scale is dependent on uniformity of piece weight, the number of
pieces in the sample, the weight of an individual piece and the per cent of rated load plac ed on the scale for a
sample. Count accuracy is also dependant upon correct operation of the scale.
The 8572 high resolution parts counting scale significantly reduces count errors caused by the operator. In
most applications, it provides better practical accuracy than either hand counting or other mechanical
techniques. W ith the proper scale selection, c ount accuracy of ± one piece is attainable. However the most
significant variable is non-uniformity in the weight of the parts to be counted; this variable is beyond the contr ol
of the scale.
1.4. ACCURA CY CONSIDERATIONS
Counting accuracy is determined prim arily by two factors: Sample size as a percentage of full sc ale capacity
and variation in weight from piece to piece of the parts to be counted.
The first factor is the most f requent cause of counting inac curacy because of the user's des ire to hand count
the minimum possible num ber of sample pieces. Using too s mall a sample size results in limited accuracy.
For example, with a sample weight equal to 0.05% of full scale c apacity, the internal sample weight resolution
is ±1 part in 250, therefore counting acc uracy will be limited to ±0.4% in this example. Use of a sample size
that is a higher percentage of full scale capacity will result in improved counting accuracy.
The overall count accuracy can be severely affected if the pieces used for the sample are not truly
representative of the average piece weight. The sec ond factor is not under the control of the par ts counting
scale, but this factor can be m inimized by using the largest practical sam ple size possible and resampling
when counting different lots of the same material.

2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 8572 Logic PCB provides a DC voltage to the digital load cell which responds with numeric values proportional
to the weight applied to the platter. This weight information is then used to determine the average piece weight and
corresponding piece count. Setup parameters and calibration are ac ces sible via the fr ont k eyboard, so no internal
access is required to configure the 8572. Setup and calibration data is stored in non-volatile m emory to prevent
memory loss from occurring during a power outage.
2.1. INTERNAL FUNCTIONS
The basic 8572 consists of four major components. These are:

2.2. OPTIONAL KITS
The standard 0.6 A, 12 VDC power supply (*135156 00A), MUST be replaced with the optional 1.5 A, 12.5
VDC power supply (*135693 00A) when any optional KOP is installed in the Model 8572.
2.2.1. Bar Code
Scanning of bar code data can accomplished by means of the bar code wand kit or the bar c ode s canning
gun kit. The 8572 can read Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, or Codabar form at bar code data. Tare, APW ,
and up to 16 digits of alphanumeric ID c an be scanned into the 8572. The 8572, when coupled with the
Model 8860 thermal printer, can print up to six lines of bar code and/or human readable data on an
adhesive label in a variety of formats.
2.2.2. Remote Scale Input
The 8572 remote scale input provides 1 part in 500,000 resolution and approx im ately nine weight updates
per second. The 8572 can accommodate one remote scale base of either the DigiTOL® or analog type.
The remote DigiTOL® scale PCB is com patible with all Toledo Scale DigiT OL® scale bas es including the
Model 2157 floor scale (digital j-box), also referred to as DigiTOL® POWER MODULE. The remote
analog scale PCB can supply excitation voltage for up to four 350 ohm load cells and is com patible with
both 2 mV/V and 3 mV/V analog load cells.
NOTE: The 8572 requires that four load cells be used with the digital j-box. The Model 2157 floor scale (digital
j-box) provides up to 1 part in 280,000 resolution.
2.2.3. Battery Power Operation
3
2.2.3.1. Battery Powered Operating Time
The internal battery kit allows operation of the 8572 when AC power is not available. The internal
battery provides up to 8 hours of power. The battery can be removed by means of an access cover
located on the back of the 8572. T he normal rec harge time is approximately 12 hour s with the 8572
turned off. The exter nal battery pack provides up to 32 hours of power and is easily replaced with a
freshly charged external battery pack for applications requiring extended use without AC power. T he
normal battery recharge time is approximately 16 hours with the 8572 turned off.

2.2.3.2. Battery Service Life Considerations
Battery service life is a major f ac tor in es timating the maximum operating tim e of a c harged battery.
The internal and external battery options use a lead/acid "gel" cell type of battery that is similar to

Remote Analog Scale Base
(4-350 Α Load Cells)
To maximize the working life of a
battery, recharge the battery on a the
basis of how many hours the scale has
been in use rather than running until the
8572 powers itself down. If a particular
scale configuration results in a
maximum battery charge life of 24
hours before the battery is exhausted,
then the battery pack should normally
be used for 8 hours and then
recharged. Extra battery packs and an
external battery charger are available to
permit continuous battery powered
operation. Following this procedure will
greatly increase the service life of the
battery and prevent premature battery
failure.
a battery at temperatures above 860 F (300 C) shortens service life considerably.
Figure 2-1 Number of Recharge Cycles Related to Battery Discharge Depth
Always recharge batteries after use. Batteries stored in a discharged state may refuse to take a
charge.
Storing batteries at 500 F (100 C) or below extends shelf life before recharging is necessary.
Batteries should be recharged every six months of s torage (when stored at room temperature) .

3.4. DATA INTERFACE
6
The 8572 supplies a bidirectional RS-232 printer port standard. The baud rate is selectable from 300 to
9600 baud and parity is selectable as even, odd, or parity bit always a "0". All data is in a 10 bit fram e: 1
start bit, 7 ASCII coded data bits, 1 parity bit and 1 stop bit. The 8572 printer port is powered by the
external RS-232 device connected to the 8572. Both the transmit and receive RS-232 data lines of the
8572 printer port must be connec ted to a true RS- 232 exter nal devic e to permit data output. No hands hak e
lines are provided on the printer port.
3.4.1. Data Output
When a print request oc curs (caus ed by pressing the
an ASCII "P" into the printer port), the 8572 will output data unless output is inhibited. Data output will
be inhibited by an unstable weight reading (scale "in motion"), an out of range weight reading (under
zero or over capacity) or if the 8572 is in the expanded weight display mode. If repeat print is disabled
the 8572 will output data only once per weighment after which the load on the scale must be removed
and a new load placed on the scale before data can be output.
A selectable checksum character can be added to the data output to perm it detection of transmission
errors. A selectable ASCII <SO> (shif t out) charac ter can be added to the data output to request lar ge
print size in the Model 8806 and 8860 printers.
3.4.2. Data Input
The 8572 printer port can be configured to permit an external device to control the 8572. Upper case,

not captured, verify that the 8572 is in the gross weight mode, that the scale platter is unobstr ucted and
that the displayed weight on the scale is within ±20% of scale capacity of gross zero (±2% of scale
capacity if tare interlocks enabled). If zero still can't be captured, refer to Section 7.2. for
troubleshooting advice.

5.4. COUNTING OPERATION
The 8572 provides two modes of counting operation: Order dependent m ode with either sam pling or APW
entry, and order independent mode.
ID, tare or APW values can be scanned in using the optional bar code input, inst ead of manually entering
the data the 8572 is prompting for.
38
00.000
If ID is enabled, the operator is always prompted to enter an ID firs t. The 8572 accepts up to 16 digits of
numeric ID from the keyboard or up to 16 alphanumeric characters from the optional bar code input.
5.4.1. Order Dependent Counting Modes
In the order dependent mode the 8572 prompts the operator step by step through the counting
procedure, beginning with ID entry, then a tare entry, and finally a sampling procedure or APW entry.
The order dependent mode is eas ier for an oper ator to learn than the order independent m ode and the
step by step prompting by the 8572 helps ensure that required steps are not skipped.
The

have consistent, known average piece weights. Another application that uses the APW entry mode
involves the counting of very light parts that require an extremely large sample size to accurately
calculate the APW . In this case the APW is calc ulated with a large sample size, this APW is recorded
and used whenever this particular part is counted. Recorded APW values should be recalculated
periodically with new parts to prevent counting errors that could occ ur if the parts average piece weight
had changed since the last APW calculation.

5.5. SAMPLE ENHANCEMENT AND COUNTING WEIGHT RANGE PARAMETERS
The 8572 provides sample enhancement for single scale mode operation, to permit accurate counting of
light weight or inconsistent parts without having to hand count a large sample size. When sample
enhancement is used the APW is recalculated as more parts are placed on the scale. Sample
enhancement requires at least one extra step in the normal count procedure.
To use sample enhanc ement, proceed through the normal count procedure until the 8572 is in the count
mode, displaying the sample pieces. At this time, place additional pieces, roughly equivalent to but not
more than the sample quantity already on the scale. The 8572 will then automatically recalculate the APW
on the basis of the larger sample s ize. There is no need to count the extra sample piec es added during
sample enhancement, j ust be sure to roughly double the number of piec es on the scale each tim e sam ple
enhancement is used. Sample enhancement can be repeated as many times as needed (up to 4% of scale
capacity), until the sample size required to accurately count a specific part is reached.
Four distinct zones of counting exist in relation to the weight on the platter. These zones are as follows:
Zone 1
: Below Minimum APW Computation Range
44
The weight placed on the sample sc ale is below the minimum APW c omputation (0.02% of f ull scale
capacity). If sampling is attempted the primary display will show
[LO SPL]
and no sampling will occur.
Zone 2
: 0.02% of Scale Capacity to Minimum Sample Range
The weight placed on the sample scale is between 0.02% of full scale capacity and the minimum
sample range selected in setup. If s ampling is attem pted the primar y display will show
[+ n]
where "n"
is the maximum number of pieces that can be added to the sample scale on the basis of the APW
calculated by the original sample. If m ore than this number of pieces is added to the s ample scale then
[/ / / / / / ]
will be displayed on the primary display until the correct number of pieces is plac ed on
the sample scale.
A manual sample acceptance mode is also available which requir es the exac t number of samp le pieces
be added and the
[Sample]
(order independent mode) key be pressed. This results in the most
accurate APW calculation.
Zone 3
: Minimum Sample Range to 4% of Sample Scale Capacity, May Enhance Counting Zone
From the minim um sample range to 4% of sam ple scale capacity, the 8572 is operating in the count
mode. Printing and accumulation can be performed as desired. The APW will be enhanced
throughout this range unless too many pieces are added to the sam ple sc ale or weight is added to the
gross scale. If the operator adds m ore pieces than can be reliably counted on the basis of the ear lier
sample, the primary display will show
[/ / / / / / ]
for two seconds then return to showing count data.
If the operator wishes to continue APW enhancement, pieces must be r emoved from the scale until a
change in sample weight no longer results in the
[/ / / / / / ]
display. APW enhancem ent will then
occur.
If the operator ignores the
[/ / / / / / ]
display and adds more pieces, prints or accumulates, no
further APW enhancement is possible for the current tr ansaction. Once the counting weight exceeds
4% of full scale capacity, APW enhancement is discontinued.
Note
: Zone 3 does not exist if average piece weight enhancement is disabled.
Zone 4
: Normal Counting Zone, 4% of Scale Capacity to Full Scale Capacity
Once the weight applied to the scale exceeds 4% of f ull scale capacity, APW enhancem ent is disabled
and the displayed APW will no longer change.

6. INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTORS AND INTERFACING
6.1. PRINTER INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS
The 8572 is capable of transmitting and receiving RS-232 voltage level ASCII characters. The device
connected to the printer port must be a true RS-232 device. This is r equired because the voltage fr om the
device's receive line is used to power the 8572's transmit line.
The 8572 transmits data suitable f or use with Toledo Scale printer Models 8806, 8842, and 8860. W hen
the print function is actuated by means of the
control command, the 8572 will output a mess age according to setup program ming. Scale m otion holds a
printout until the scale sees "no motion". Printing is disabled when the scale is under gross zero, over
capacity, or in expanded weight mode.
6.1.1. Data Format
The data output is in a 10 bit ASCII format: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit (selectable to even, odd, or
always a 0), and 1 stop bit. The baud rate can be set from 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, to 9600 baud.
Checksum is provided to ensure data integrity. Checksum is defined as the 2's complem ent of the 7
low order bits of the binary sum of all characters on a line, preceding the checksum.
The 8572 is capable of transmitting data in either a single line or multi line format. T he data fields to be
printed are selected in setup. From one to seven f ields of data will be printed in the order deter mined in
setup. Fields may be repeated as many times as desired. Refer to T able 6-1 f or single line f orm at and
to Table 6-2 for multi line scale format.

F: <LF> ASCII Line Feed, hex value 0A.
G: <CHK> The checksum calculation for multiple line data format includes the line feed <LF>
character from the previous line of data.
Note
: All data fields are padded with leading spaces to make fields right justified. Leading zeros of numeric
data fields are suppressed. If the 8572 is progr am m ed to display a comm a in plac e of a dec im al point then
significant leading zeroes are not suppressed.
Note
: If double width printing is enabled, an ASCII <SO> character, hex 0E, will precede the net weight or
gross weight numeric field, (if printing displayed weight and the 8572 is in the gross mode). An ASCII <SI>
character will follow the corresponding Units field.
Note
: If bracketed printing is enabled in setup then any truly measured weight will be preceded by a <
character and followed by a > character.
Weight Field Format Notes:
The sign character is a space < > for positive net weights and a minus <-> for negative net weights.
The weight data field is a seven character ASCII string consisting of six numeric digits plus a dec imal
point. If the decimal point is not used the weight data has a leading s pac e added to pad the total length
of the weight data to 7 characters.

This voltage is used to power the internal DigiT OL® load cell. It is also used by the remote analog
scale option, the remote DigiTOL® scale option, and the bar code option. Ther e is an unregulated +22
VDC that is the raw supply to the +20 VDC regulator. The unregulated +22 VDC can be checked
across the solder pads of capacitor C1 on the logic PCB. This voltage m ust be within the range of 20
VDC to 30 VDC. The regulated +20 VDC can be checked ac ross the solder pads of capacitor C2.
Refer to Figure 11 for component location. The regulated +20 VDC must be within the range of 19 VDC
to 21 VDC. If the +12 VDC logic supply is ok and either of these voltages ar e missing or out of range
the logic PCB must be replaced.
7.3.4. +5 VDC Logic Supply
This voltage is used to power all the logic circ uitry on the Logic PCB. This voltage can be c hecked on
pin 1 of integrated circuit U14. Refer to Figure 7-1 for com ponent location. T his voltage m ust be within
the range of +4.85 VDC to +5.2 VDC, maximum ripple voltage of 0.05 VAC. If the +12 VDC logic

Tighten all (4) load cell and sub-platter m ounting screws to 75 - 85 inch/pounds. Use a torque wrench to
ensure proper screw tension without over tightening.
Place the platter on the sub-platter.
Reconnect the internal battery or external battery if present and reconnect the external power supply.
Reapply power to the 8572 by means of the power switch located on the right side of the base near the
front.
Verify operation and calibration of the new load cell as described in the calibration and operation section of
the technical manual.
Note
: Overload stop clearance gaps must be checked after replacement of the load cell to provide proper
protection to the new load cell.
7.5. OVERLOAD STOP ADJUSTMENT
The overload stops mu st be adjusted when the load cell and/or sub-platter has been replaced. There c an
be up to six overload stop positions, identified as X1 through X7. Factory numbers 8572-0002, and 1002, (5
lb capacity) versions use stops X1, X2, and X3. Overload s top X1 is located under the load cell. Refer to
Figure 7-3 for overload stop locations. F actory numbers 8572-0003, - 0004, 0005, 0006, 1003, 1004, 1005,
and 1006 (25 lb capacity and greater) scales use stops X2 through X7, refer to Figure 7-4.
Assemble the base, load cell, and sub-platter as described in the load cell replacement procedure in section
7.3. Mounting screws should be snug but not tight.
Check that the corner and center over load stops are aligned with the overload adjus tment sc rews. Tighten
all (4) load cell and sub-platter mounting s crews to 75 - 85 inch/pounds. Use a torque wrench to ensure
proper screw tension without over tightening.
Note
: All sub-platter and load cell mounting screws must be tightened to the proper specification before
adjusting overload stops. Failure to do so m ay result in the overload stops being set incorre ctly and failure of
the load cell.
7 CAUTION!
Never apply weight exceeding the capacity of the scale or shock load
the scale if the overload stops have not been set.
7.5.1. Low Capacity Overload Adjustment (8572-0002, and 1002)
5 lb capacity overload stops are set by observing the expanded weight display as test weights are
placed in specific locations on the scale platter.
With power applied, place the scale into the test m ode (setup step
X1, X2, and X3.
[69 1]
) and loosen overload stops
The various test weights specified in T able 7-1 are placed in turn on the center of the platter to adj ust
X1, the right rear corner to adjust X 2, and the right front corner to adjust X3. Ref er to Figure 7-3 and
Table 7-1.
58
Tighten the overload screw for a given overload s top until the display weight just starts to change. T his
indicates the overload screw is just touching the stop. Repeat this procedure for each of the three
overload stops X1, X2, and X3.
10 lb and greater capacity scales overload stops are set by meas uring the gap between the overload
stop and the overload screw. The gap is adjusted until it meets the s pecif ication listed in T able 7-2. All
dimensions are listed in inches . Use round wire gauges, or the wire size equivalent drill bit to m easur e
the overload stop gap.
DO NOT use flat feeler gauges to measure overload stop gap
.
-Tighten the overload screw until the gap is smaller than the wire gauge.
-Hold the wire gauge against the gap with a slight pressure.
-Slowly loosen the overload screw until the wire gauge snaps through the gap.
-Repeat this procedure for each of the six overloads X2, X3, X3, X4, X5, X6, and X7. Refer to
Table 7-2 Higher Capacity, Overload Stop Gap Specification
7.6. KEYBOARD REPLACEMENT
Remove power from the scale by turning off the power switch located on the right side of the base near the
front. Unplug the external power supply and battery if present.
"
8 CAUTION!
Remove power from the scale and wait a minimum of 30 seconds before connecting or disconnecting any
harnesses from PCB's or load cells as damage may result.
On 8572-0002, 1002 versions that use the 3.75 kg load cell, reinstall the two #8-32 shipping screws
through the sub-platter into the two hex standoffs. Refer to Figure 7-2. Do not tighten these screws
down. They are used to keep the sub-platter from twisting when the sub-platter mounting screws are
tightened or loosened. DAMAGE TO THE LOAD CELL MAY RESULT IF THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT
FOLLOWED. After the sub-platter mounting screws are tightened or loosened, the two #8-32 screws are
removed.
Remove the platter, sub-platter, dead deck (lower capacity scales), and cover assemblies.
Unplug the keyboard ribbon connector from the Logic PCB and gently slide the ribbon harness through the
flat cable clamp, refer to Figure 7-5. Do not remove the flat cable clamp from the cover assembly.

Figure 7-5 Keyboard Mounting
Remove the four retaining screws that hold the keyboard backing plate. Remove the backing plate and
keyboard assembly. Refer Figure 15.
Install the new keyboard assembly, backing plate and four retaining screws.
Verify the revision level of the Logic PCB. The revision level is the leading prefix of the PCB part num ber, (for
example: "B134771 00A" is a "B" revision part num ber). "A" and lower revision Logic PCBs require a double
twist in the keyboard ribbon harness to permit pin 1 of the keyboard ribbon harnes s to plug into pin 1 of the J7
connector on the Logic PCB. "B" and higher revision Logic PCBs reverse the location of pin 1 of the J7
connector and no longer require the double twist of the keyboard harness.
After folding the keyboard ribbon harness correctly, slide the ribbon harness back through the clamp.
Insert the keyboard ribbon harness plug P7 into the Logic PCB connector J7. Verify that pin 1 of the keyboard
harness is inserted into pin 1 of c onnector J7 on the logic PCB. "A" and lower re vision Logic PCBs have pin 1
located towards the rear of the enclosure. "B" and higher revision Logic PCBs have pin 1 of connector J7
located towards the front of the enclosure. The keyboard ribbon harness pin 1 is marked by means of a
diamond on the side of the ribbon harness plug. Refer to Figure 7-6.
