1. Introduction
The 4" or 7" Belt-Way Remote Display allows a plant operator to monitor multiple conveyor
belt scales from a single location. The operator can reset scale totals and perform zero
calibrations on all connected scales. The remote display also displays historical production
information and records accumulated weight and flow rate data files to the included USB flash
drive.
NOTE: The remote display is designed to communicate with the new style Belt-Way
integrator ONLY! Older integrators will NOT work and must be upgraded prior to remote
display installation!

Step 3: Power the display. The display comes with a 110/220 AC to 24 VDC power supply. Plug
the power cord into a grounded outlet. The display will turn on.
5. Network Setup
The scale network may be wireless or hardwired. The remote display, scale integrators, wireless
transmitters and other devices on the network must have unique IP addresses.
Wireless Network Example:
Scale 1
192.168.1.100
Scale 1 Station
192.168.1.21
Scale 2 Station
192.168.1.22

Hardwire Network Example:
6. Display Network Screen
The Network screen shows scale IP addresses currently programmed into the display. All
devices must be on the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.XXX) but the 4th number must be
unique. The default remote display IP address is 192.168.1.251. Scale 1 defaults to
192.168.1.100, Scale 2 defaults to 192.168.1.101, etc. The Scale IP address MUST MATCH the
actual IP address programmed into the scale control box.
The default Slave ID value is 247. It must
match the Slave ID programmed into the
corresponding control box. Each IP value may
be modified by pressing the numeric input
field. Click the RESTART DISPLAY button to
reboot the display and save any IP Address
and Slave ID changes. The new settings will
take effect once the display restarts.

7. Integrator IP Address Setup
Program the IP address and Slave ID into each integrator. The first scale is usually left at the default
address 192.168.1.100. Each additional scale must be changed to 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102, etc.
8. Main Screen
The main screen displays Total Weight, Tons Per Hour, and Belt Speed values.
The standard display is programmed for 6 scales. The connection indicators show when each
scale is connected to the remote display.
Use the MENU button
to navigate to other
display screens.
Use the blue buttons
to label each scale or
product. The keyboard
appears when the
button is pressed.
Use RESET TONS
buttons to reset
any scale weight
to 0. The reset
process takes
about 5 seconds
to complete.
Press the MENU Button and
choose Administration
Next choose Ethernet
Arrow down to IP Address
and press Enter
Arrow up to Assign IP Address and press Enter.

Zero Calibration Procedure
The Zero Calibration should be performed when a scale continually accumulates or subtracts
weight while the belt is empty.
THE BELT MUST BE RUNNING EMPTY BEFORE STARTING THE ZERO CALIBRATION!
Step 1:
The ZERO CAL button appears only
when the belt is running.
Make sure each belt is running empty.
Press ZERO CAL to initiate the
ZERO CALIBRATION on a single scale
or ZERO ALL to calibrate multiple scales.
Use the SCREENSHOT button to save a copy
of the screen to the USB flash drive. The file is
saved as a bitmap in the Hardcopy folder.
The filename is YYMMDD_0000.bmp
ZERO ALL or RESET ALL
Perform functions on all
scales.
Scale Connection Status Indicator
Each scale has a connection indicator. The
indicator is GREEN when the scale is
connected and the data is updated.
The indicator is RED when the scale is not
connected and displayed data may not be
updated to the most current values.
This can be caused by several conditions
such as power loss, wireless network
failure, damaged Ethernet cables, etc.
Use this button to
adjust the Weight
decimal places
to 0,1 or 2.

15.Total Production, TPH, and Belt Speed Reports
THIS FEATURE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE BASIC DISPLAY
The graphing screens show the trend of accumulated weight, tons per hour, or belt speed over
time. The readings are logged once per minute. Each graph is independently scaled using the
Max button. The Date menu allows viewing of 90 days of past files. The graph is 12 hours wide.
Use the scroll arrows to move back and forth on a given day. Click on the screen to show the
exact values of each scale at any point. The SCREENSHOT button creates a picture copy of the
graph on the USB flash drive. Screenshots are bitmap files that can be opened in any picture

16. USB
*THIS FEATURE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE BASIC DISPLAY*
The USB screen shows the remaining capacity for the display's internal memory and the USB
flash drive. The data log files are saved to the internal memory and backed up to the USB
flash drive each day at 12:00 pm. The display will automatically erase the oldest files if the
internal memory drops below 2 megabytes.
The files are saved on the USB under the data log folder and either the tph file folder or
weight file folder. The data files are saved as CSV (comma separated values) and may be
viewed in Excel or other spreadsheet software.
The files are saved by date and named in the following format:
YYYYMMDD_weight.csv , YYYYMMDD_tph.csv, YYYYMMDD_speed.csv

VNC VIEWER (Virtual Network Computing) software.
VNC Viewer is an inexpensive program that can be downloaded from www.realvnc.com, the Itunes
App store or Google Play App store. Each device must be connected to the same hardwire or
wireless network and have a similar IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.XXX) as the remote display.
Various VNC Viewers look slightly different but work the same.
Beltway Scales does not offer support on third party software. Use at your own risk.
Example 1:
Local Area Network Only
Step 1: Start the VNC Viewer and enter the
IP address of the remote display.
The default is 192.168.1.251.
Step 2: Enter the default password of "1".
