Introduction
The WI-127 Inbound/Outbound is a microprocessor-driven weight indicator
designed to interface with an electronic scale. Its purpose is to calculate net weight
value and to transmit serially that value, along with other weighing information, to
a printer, computer, or programmable controller.
A hallmark of the WI-127 Inbound/Outbound indicator is its versatility in adapting
to a broad range of weighing applications requiring calculation of net value.
Two methods of net weighing are available:
Method 1: Inbound/Outbound Weighing allows you to live-weigh an empty or full
container (or vehicle, etc.), with or without transmission of data. Later you
may live-weigh the same container for calculation of a net value and trans-
mission of data. The indicator will select the larger weight as the gross
weight and always transmit a positive net weight. The first weighing of the
container stores its value in memory so that similar weighing operations can
continue in up to 300 other channels between the time of the first weighing
operation and the second. The indicator will keep track of the number of
transactions and accumulate the totals for each inbound/outbound channel.
Method 2: Using Multiple Tare Registers allows you to store tares in two
different ways. You may:
• Live-weigh an empty container and store its tare value in one of 300 tare
registers. Then do multiple live weighings with the same refilled container or
with containers of equal tare weight value. The WI-127 Inbound/Outbound
Indicator will use the tare value you stored in memory for calculation of net
value and transmission of data.
• Enter using the keypad a predetermined weight value in one of 300 tare
registers. Then do multiple live weighings with filled containers equal in
weight to the memory-stored value for calculation of net value and transmis-
sion of data.
The indicator will also keep track of the number of transactions and accumu-
late the totals for each tare register.
Operations mode contains all normal weighing operations. In this mode you can
view or set the following parameters:
• inbound/outbound channels
• multiple tare registers
• cutoff registers
• target, over and under values
•time
• date
• identification number

Keys The WI-127's keys are divided into four primary groups:
Standard Scale Keys These yellow keys are common to a majority of weighing
applications and include SELECT, TARE, PRINT, ZERO, and UNITS.
SELECT Used to switch between the gross, tare, and net display modes.
SELECT can also be used to accept a current selection and return
to weigh mode from within any menu.
TARE Enters a pushbutton tare in the display mode. Can be configured to
accept values through the numeric keypad.
PRINT Used to initiate manual data transmission.
ZERO Zeros the scale in the display mode. Also clears values in numeric
entry.
UNITS Switches the units of measure in the display mode. Up to three
units of measure are selectable.

GrossWeighing
Capturing an inbound or
outbound weight
Channel numbers may be from 1 to
6 numerals in length.
If a new channel was created or if
the existing channel had no value for
the inbound weight, the captured
weight is stored as the inbound
weight.
If the channel already had an
inbound weight, the captured weight
is stored as the outbound weight and
is added to the accumulator total.
After the outbound weight is printed,
the inbound weight is cleared form
the channel.
The INBOUND/OUTBOUND
key will work only if the indicator is
in gross weighing mode.

SettingTarget and
Over/Under Values
Checkweighing
The WI-127 is configured to perform checkweighing functions. The checkweighing
parameters are accessed through the Operations Menu shown in Figure 2.
The target value must be considered when determining values to enter for over
and under. Depending on the target values, the over/under values can be entered
as either actual weight values or as tolerance values.
If the target value is zero, you may enter over and under values as actual weight.
For example, if the target = 0, over might = 100 lbs, and under might = 50 lbs.
This means that any weight between 50 lbs and 100 lbs is acceptable. (Note: The
ACCEPT annunciator does not illuminate when target = 0.)
If the target value is a value other than zero, the over and under values must be
set as tolerances. For example, if target = 100, over might = 10, and under
might = -10. This means that any weight between 90 and 110 lbs is acceptable.
