1 General information
1.1 About this manual
This manual is divided into chapters by the chapter number and the large text at the top
of a page. Subsections are labeled as shown by the 1 and 1.1 headings shown above.
The names of the chapter and the next subsection level appear at the top of alternating
pages of the manual to remind you of where you are in the manual. The manual name
and page numbers appear at the bottom of the pages.
This User Instruction manual contains basic operating information. Subjects covered
include indicator installation, counting mode, accumulation mode, truck I/O operation,
filling, time and date entry, and troubleshooting.
Subjects such as the setup mode and the macro programming language are beyond
the scope of a user manual. Contact your GSE Distributor for more information.
1.1.1 Text conventions

1.2 Installation
1.3 Electrical installation
1.3.1 Pluggable equipment
Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily accessible socket outlet.
1.3.2 Wet conditions
Under wet conditions, the plug must be connected to the final branch circuit via an
appropriate socket / receptacle designed for washdown use.
Installations within the USA should use a cover that meets NEMA 3R specifications
as required by the National Electrical Code under section 410-57. This allows the unit
to be plugged in with a rain tight cover fitted over the plug.
Installations within Europe must use a socket which provides a minimum of IP56
protection to the plug / cable assembly. Care must be taken to make sure that the
degree of protection provided by the socket is suitable for the environment.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR SERVICE.
CAUTION: The AC to DC Power Supply power cable must be connected to an
earth-grounded electrical outlet. The electrical supply must have a circuit
breaker with an appropriate rating to protect from over-current conditions.
For your protection, all electrical (110V or 230V) equipment used out of doors or
in wet or damp conditions should be supplied from a correctly fused power
source and protected by an approved ground fault protection device (RCD,
GFCI etc.)
IF IN DOUBT SEEK ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

6 60 Series User Instructions
1.4 Routine maintenance
Always turn off the indicator and isolate from the power supply before starting any
routine maintenance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Make sure that it is placed securely on a flat and level surface.
1.5 Cleaning the indicator
1.6 Training
Do not attempt to operate or complete any procedure on a indicator unless you have
received the appropriate training or read the instruction books.
To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury), place the indicator on a surface which
is ergonomically satisfactory to the user. Take frequent breaks during prolonged usage.
1.7 Sharp objects
Do not use sharp objects such as screwdrivers or long fingernails to operate the keys.
IMPORTANT: This equipment must be routinely checked for proper operation
and calibration.
Application and usage will determine the frequency of calibration required for
safe operation.
Table 1.1 Cleaning DOs and DON’Ts
DO DO NOT
Wipe down the outside of standard products
with a clean cloth, moistened with water and
a small amount of mild detergent
Attempt to clean the inside of the indicator
Use harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners or
alkaline cleaning solutions
Spray the cloth when using a proprietary
cleaning fluid
Spray any liquid directly on to the display window

United States
Canada
European Countries
Table 1.2
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Table 1.3
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de
la Classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique edicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

1.14 Display
Display types differ according to model. The table below describes the display(s)
offered for each controller.
The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display is divided into two sections: a large, six-digit
numeric area to the left, and a smaller, two-line-by-five-character dot matrix area to the
right.
The large digit area displays numeric data, such as gross weight, net weight or tare
weight.
The dot matrix area has several purposes:
lThe first two characters on the upper line show the weighing units of the
displayed data.
lThe last three characters on the upper line show a center zero (-- >0< --)
condition at times.
lThe lower line of the dot matrix area specifies the type of data, such as
Gross, Net, Tare, etc.
The dot matrix area also displays specific messages during controller operation and
setup.
