Introduction
BT-470TL remote display is designed to display measurement results transmitted by
weighing terminals. The display operates in the automatic mode by default (see Autolearn)
and in standard installations does not require prior configuration. For advanced options, it is
necessary to adjust the settings via WagSet software (from version v3.00), or through the
user menu embedded in the device, or Web browser.
The WagSet software enables advanced configuration of the device:
•Defining of the communication protocol with any weighing terminal,
•Restoring the default settings, displaying the software version, displaying the saved
communication protocol, and changing the network settings
•Setting the response to events reported by the weighing terminal (e.g. overloading,
underloading, instability, scale error)
•Enabling Alpha characters to be displayed within the data string.
•Setting advertising text in the following languages: EN, PL, RU, DE, CZ, SK, HU, UA,
LT, LV, NO, SE, FR, NL, BR, RO, ES, TR, FI.
•Changing the IP address and port of the weight indicator sending the data.
Default Indicator IP: 192.168.1.12 sending data on port 2102
The detailed information concerning the display configuration from a PC can be found in the
manual supplied with the WagSet software. Click Help > Help or press the F1 button. The way
of connecting the display to a PC is described in the “Connecting the display to a computer for
configuration purposes” section of this manual.
The user menu embedded in the device allows the basic display configuration without using a
PC:
•Manual selection of the communication protocol from the list, enabling the operation with
selected weighing terminals
•Restoring the default settings, displaying the software version, displaying the saved
communication protocol, communication ports, displaying the IP address, and subnet
mask.

Wall Mounting
The BT-470 Item# 841-100044 can be wall mounted by fastening the two angle brackets to the
side of the display, then attaching to a sturdy wall. When installing without the visor, it is
recommended to install in an area protected from direct sunlight and rain.
Item# 841-100043 includes a visor, and pole mounting hardware. The kit included brackets for
a 3” pole, but other sizes can be purchased as needed. Attach the Unistrut to the back of the
visor, then slide clamps into unistrut, tighten the bolt to secure to the pole. Then attach
scoreboard to the visor, selecting one of the three holes to adjust display angle.

Autolearn Mode
The autolearn mode is enabled by default (position no. 0 is set in the 'proto' submenu). To
disable it, the communication protocol must be set manually using the embedded user menu or
the WagSet software.
When autolearn mode is active, each time the device is started, it detects the parameters of the
communication with the weighing terminal and analyses the structure of the data frames it
sends. Then it adjusts the remote display's settings to enable correct communication with the
terminal. The whole operation lasts several seconds, depending on the baud rate and the time
intervals between consecutive frames. All remote display’s communication interfaces are
supported, i.e. RS232/RS485/CL and Ethernet.
The autolearn procedure is as follows:
1. Baud rate detection - dot 1 flashing on the display
2. Baud rate verification - dot 1 solid, dot 2 flashing
3. Analysis of the protocol and its frame structure - dots 1 and 2 solid, dot 3 flashing
During the analysis of the protocol and its frame structure, the measurement unit sent is also
recognized. The following tags are recognized - "kg" 'K' " t" 'T' 't' " g" "gr" 'G' 'g' "lb" 'L' 'l' "oz" 'o'
'O'. In case the terminal does not send a unit or sends a unit that is not recognized by the
autolearn function, the default unit will be set to lb.
The "Autolearn" function detects gross/net measurements if the following markers in the frame:
- for the Net measurement: "N" from the ASCII table,
- for the Gross measurement: "G" from the ASCII table.
The "Autolearn" function detects Traffic Light status if the following markers in the frame:
- Green: "B" from the ASCII table,
- Red: "R" from the ASCII table.
The autolearn mode supports the following transmission parameters:
Baud Rate
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
Transmission parameters (data bits, parity, stop bits):
8N1, 7E1, 7O1
Note: If the data is sent via the Ethernet to the display and then one of the other interfaces, i.e.
RS232 / RS485 / CL is connected - the autolearn procedure will be carried out again in order to
determine the UART parameters and the protocol (the protocol for serial interfaces may differ
from the Ethernet protocol).

Embedded User Menu
The button used to operate the menu is located on the controller board inside the display
housing and marked B1. To access, unscrew the two philips head screws and slide out the
controller board drawer. Once you have finished the configuration, push the drawer back,
making sure that the seal is not compromised.
Fig. 1
Location of button B1
The user menu has the following options:
▪info
▪proto
▪custm
▪lights
▪reset
To activate a specific option, keep the button pressed until this option appears on the screen
("info", "proto", "custm" or "reset"). The option is entered after releasing the button when its
name is being displayed. If the button is released when the screen is blank between two
consecutive options, the display will return to its normal operation.
"info" option allows you to display the device software version and the network layer settings (IP
address, network mask, communication port for the WagSet software and communication port for
the weighing terminal).

“proto”option allows you to select the display communication protocol to work with the selected
weighing terminals (Tab. 1). You can change the protocol by short pressing the button. Saving
the selected protocol is accomplished by long holding down the button (until the messag
"Saved" appears). Exiting the "proto" option happens automatically after 30 seconds of user
inactivity
“custm” option allows you to select the display communication protocol to work with the
weighing terminals of the selected clients. These protocols have special, custom settings
needed for the given client. Setting the protocol is done in the same way as in the case of the
"proto" option - saving the selected protocol is accomplished by long holding down the button
(until the message "Saved" appears), while exiting the "custm" option happens automatically
after 30 seconds of user inactivity.
"lights" option allows you to choose the configuration of the traffic lights. Three profiles are
available:
•1 –lights: if there is no communication for more than 0.5 second, the red light will show,
•2 –lights: if there is no communication for more than 3 seconds, the "X" characters will be
displayed on both red and green light,
•3 –lights: if there is no communication, the status of the traffic light will not change.
Switching between the individual profiles is done by pressing the "B1" micro button. Saving the
selected profile is accomplished by long holding down the "B1" micro button, until the message
"Saved" appears. Exiting the "lights" option comes after 30 seconds of the user inactivity.
Factory Default
“reset” option allows you to restore the default settings of the remote display and to activate the
autolearn mode. The default network layer settings will also be restored (IP address:
192.168.1.11, network mask: 255.255.255.0, configuration port for the WagSet software: 2101,
communication port for the weighing terminal: 2102). To restore the default settings you should
press the B1 button and hold it down until the message "reset" appears during the normal
operation of the device. Hold the button down until the message "reset" starts flashing and do
not release it until the message "default" is displayed. Releasing the button before the message
"default" appears will result in interrupting the process of restoring the default settings and the
display will continue working according to the previously set parameters. Uploading new
network settings is possible using the WagSet software or via web panel.
