Section 1. Introduction
GSE 460 Series programmable indicators come standard with a number of
features that make them the most versatile and powerful systems in their price
class. Even in the most demanding industrial environments, the 460 Series
indicators will provide years of quality weighing service.
This User’s Guide contains basic operating information. Subjects covered include
indicator installation, calibration, counting mode, accumulation mode, application
file operation, the clock feature, legal-for-trade issues, and troubleshooting.
Subjects such as the Setup Mode and the macro programming language are
beyond the scope of a User’s Guide. For more detailed operating instructions, a
460 Series Technical Reference Manual is available. Contact your GSE
Distributor for more information.

Controller Descriptions
All 460 Series models come with a swivel bracket for positioning on a tabletop or
mounting to any fixed surface.
GSE offers many options to enhance the 460 Series of indicators. The number of
options that can be used varies among the different models. See the
Specifications section on page 3 for enclosure dimensions.
Connections from the load cell to the single channel input require
gaining access to J1 inside the sealed enclosure. In addition,
peripherals and options can be interfaced to 460 Series instruments by
means of connections within the enclosure. However, physically
accessing the unit may void the warranty. Refer to the Technical
Reference Manual or contact your local GSE distributor.
Calibrating the unit requires entering the Setup Mode and selecting the
calibration parameters specific to your application needs. Contact your
local GSE distributor for calibration service.
Stainless Steel Enclosure
The stainless steel versions are also available in panel-mount.
460 Series instruments are supplied in a NEMA 4X (IP66) enclosure and may be
used in a wash-down environment. Care must be taken to ensure that the AC
power socket outlet is properly protected.
The keypad is made of silicon rubber. It may be cleaned periodically with a soft
damp non-abrasive cloth. The display window is made from a polycarbonate
material, which may scratch due to aggressive cleaning. Care must be taken to
avoid such damage.

Display
Display types differ according to model. The table below describes the display(s)
offered for each controller.
Model Display
465 6 digit, Vacuum Florescent display (VFD) 0.75” (19mm) height with
2X5 matrix
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-fivecharacter 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:
•The first two characters on the upper line show the weighing units of the
displayed data.
•The last three characters on the upper line show a CENTER ZERO (-- >0<
--) condition at times.

•The lower line of the dot matrix area specifies the type of data, such The
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.
Keypad
A sealed elastomer keypad comes standard on all stainless steel 460 Series
indicators. For more information on the alpha keypad option, please refer to the
460 Series Technical Reference Manual. Detailed descriptions of each key and
its associated function foll ow below.
Key Description
[ZERO]
Press [ZERO] to zero the current quantity/weight reading. When the
meter is at Center Zero center-of-zero indication will appear on the
upper line of the dot matrix display. If a Custom Unit’s name is
greater than 2 characters, the Center Zero indication is not
displayed. If in the quantity mode, pressing [ZERO] will set the
current mode to a gross zero quantity. If in the Weigh Mode,
pressing [ZERO] sets the current mode to Gross Weight.
[UNITS] Pressing [UNITS] from the Weigh Mode will toggle the displayed
units through the available selections. Converted units are
automatically rounded to the appropriate increment.

8 OF 20
[SELECT] Pressing [SELECT] will toggle you through the Net Weight, Tare
Weight and Gross Weight or other enabled operating modes.
[TARE]
Pressing [TARE] by itself will perform an auto-tare. A Net Zero is
then displayed. You can enter a known Tare weight by keying in the
number and pressing [TARE]. In either case, the indicator will be
placed in the Net Mode, unless you are in the Tare Mode.
[ENTER/YES] Press the [ENTER] key following certain numeric entries. Doubles
as a [YES] key for answering operator prompts.
[PRINT] Press to send data to a printer, computer or other device.
[ID/Alpha] Used for entering ID numbers.
[F1] The [F1] key is used as an up arrow key for scrolling or as a function
key (such as accessing a menu or starting a process). Not available
on Model 460.
[TARGET] Only available on the Model 465. Used as a function key and a down
arrow key.
Key Description
0 - 9 & .
Press the numeric keys to enter numeric values 0 through 9. Press
[.] to establish a decimal point or perform an accumulation in the
weigh or count mode.
[CLR] Press this key to clear a numeric entry mistake prior to entering it
into memory. Also doubles as a [NO] key for answering questions.
[SCALE
SELECT] Pressing [SCALE SELECT] will toggle through all the enabled
scale inputs.
Options
Numerous hardware options that maximize the capabilities and functions of the
standard 460 Series indicators are available. These options can be installed by
your GSE distributor at the time of purchase or be added later. All options must
be installed by a GSE distributor or a qualified technician. Please do not return
the indicator to GSE for installation of options. Consult your GSE products
distributor for installation instructions.
