Quick Start User's Guide
Fig. 1: Model 4300 Front Panel Layout
INSTALLATION:
The desired scale location should be flat, level and free of any
obstructions, which might interfere with the operation of the scale platter.
Remove the platter and locate the bubble level inside the base. Adjust the
four scale feet so the bubble is centered and the platform is stable so it
does not rock.
When installing your scale, make sure that the power connection is close
to the scale and easily accessible.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
Prior to connecting your Model 4300 to power, check the serial number
tag on the scale for the correct operating voltage. Verify that the power
matches the rated voltage.
Be sure the AC power is not excessively noisy - this can occur if large
inductive loads, such as solenoids or motors, are on the same power line.
The Model 4300 has a filtered power supply to reduce the effects of
normal line noise, but they cannot limit severe fluctuations. If problems
occur, noise-producing devices may have to be suppressed to minimize
their effect.
POWER UP:
Connect the Model 4300 to a compatible power source.

5
Model 4300:
The Doran 4300 has a main display and ten indicator lights. These
indicators provide the operator with information about the scale and the
current weight operation. The main display shows the current weight or
scale status. Units indicators, located on the right side of the display,
show the current measurement units. Center of Zero (ZERO) and motion
(MOT) indicators, located on the left side of the display, inform the
operator when the scale is at Zero and when the scale is in Motion. The
negative (NEG) indicator informs the operator whether the item being
weighed is below or above Zero. Checkweigh information is provided by
the OVER, ACCEPT and UNDER lights above the main display.
Front Panel Buttons and Operation:
Five pressure sensitive switches are located under the main display.
These switches provide the operator with the ability to zero the scale,
change the current units, print weight, or enter the weight limits for
checkweighing.
ZERO Button:
The ZERO push button is used to zero the scale prior to making a
reading. The zero button can function over the full range of the scale or it
can be limited to a zero band equal to 4% of scale capacity for Canadian
Legal for Trade applications.
To zero the scale, wait until the scale is stable and press the ZERO
button. The scale will zero immediately. The 4300 will not "zero" if the
scale is in motion. The 4300 is equipped with an optional "Zero on
Demand" feature which holds "zero" requests until motion stops. This
option may be activated during the scale setup procedure. Refer to the
Parameter Setup section or your authorized Doran Scales dealer for
details.
UNITS button:
The UNITS button allows the operator to change the scale units by
pressing a button. After pressing UNITS, the units indicator will
immediately display the new units. The next display update will indicate
the correct weight in the new units.
The UNITS button has several configuration parameters which can
disable the UNITS button or limit the display units available. Refer to the
Parameter Setup section or your authorized Doran Scales dealer for
details.

6
PRINT button:
The PRINT button allows the operator to print the current weight by
pressing a button. Like the ZERO button, the user must wait for motion
to stop before pressing the PRINT button. The current weight will then be
transmitted to a printer or computer.
The 4300 is equipped with an optional "Print on Demand" feature which
holds "print" requests until motion stops. Once stable, the scale transmits
the current weight to a printer or computer. The 4300 also has several
automatic print options which may be used to simplify printer operation.
These options may be activated during the scale setup procedure. Refer
to the Parameter Setup section or your authorized Doran Scales dealer
for details.
OVER / UNDER button:
The over and under buttons are used to enter the weight values needed
for checkweighing applications.
The default entry mode uses the OVER and UNDER buttons to take the
current weight and scroll it up or down (arrows on the button indicate the
scroll direction) until the desired "check" weight is reached. Once the
desired value is reached, pressing ZERO (ENTER) will enter the desired
value in the scale.
In the simplest configuration, these buttons will enter the "check" weight
either by pressing the OVER or UNDER button. When in this mode, the
current weight is entered as the checkweighing limits.
The 4300 also offers five band check weighing and password protection
of the checkweigh limits. Refer to the Basic Checkweighing Reference
Guide and the Parameter Setup section, or contact your authorized
Doran Scales dealer for details.

Calibration:
1) The Calibration push button (S1) is located behind the Calibration
Access Cover. Location of the cover is on the back of the tower or bottom
of the meter and is held on with just two bolts for easy access. There are
no zero jumpers, span jumpers, switches or pots to adjust. The calibration
push button can be accessed by removing the Calibration access cover.
2) Momentarily press the Calibration button to enter the CAL menu. Press
and release the UNITS button until "CAL 0" appears on the display.
3) Remove any unnecessary weight from the scale platter. Press ZERO.
The display will count down from 7 to 0 and then show "CAL FS".
NOTE: If "rg Err" appears on the display, the calibration zero is out of range. Press zero
to clear error. Refer to the analog setup section for additional information.
4) Press and release the UNITS button to scroll through the calibration
capacities. Select one of the following:
CAL FS: Full load calibration.
CAL .50: Half load calibration. (50% of full load)
CAL .25: Quarter load calibration. (25% of full load)
CAL .10: 1/10th load calibration. (10% of full load)
If you want to use a weight between 10% and 100% of capacity, but not
exactly 25% or 50%, select the capacity closest to the desired weight (do
not use CAL FS). Then scroll to the exact weight on the display by pressing
the OVER button to go higher or the UNDER button to go lower.
Place the correct weight on the platter. Press ZERO and the display will
count down from 7 to 0. The display will briefly show "donE" and then
return to the weigh mode.
NOTE: If "SPAn E" appears on the display, the calibration span is out of range. Press
zero to clear the error and retry calibration. Refer to the analog setup section for
additional information.
NOTE: Calibration at 10% of capacity has been provided as a convenience to
customers with high capacity scales in remote or inaccessible locations. Scales
calibrated at 10% of capacity are more likely to have significant errors at full
capacity than are scales calibrated at 25% or 50%. Doran Scales recommends
that all scales be calibrated at full capacity whenever possible. 10% calibration
should not be used when calibrating scales for legal for trade applications.
NOTE: On scales with factory installed platforms, the calibration is performed at the
factory. It will not be necessary to calibrate the scale.

12
Analog Setup:
NOTE: Use this section only if you are curious about the load cell output. On scales with
factory installed platforms, the zero and span will lie within permissible limits.
There are no jumpers, pots, or switches to adjust. Raw counts are used to verify
if a load cell will operate within specified limits.
1) Momentarily press the Calibration button (S1) to enter the CAL menu.
Press and release the UNITS button until CAP 50 (where 50 can be any
valid capacity) appears on the display. Follow the procedure to select the
desired scale capacity.
2) Once the correct capacity has been selected, press and release UNITS
until in the raw counts mode. (See setup menu on page 25.)
3) Remove all weight from the scale platform.
4) Record the "no load" counts.
5) Place "Full Load" on the platform and record the "Full Load" counts.
Subtract the "No Load" counts from the "Full Load" counts to calculate
span. Refer to Table 1 and verify that the span falls within the limits
specified for the amount of dead load present. If the readings, are outside
of the limits specified, change dead load or span until the requirements
are met.
6) When using 50%, 25% or 10% of full load to calibrate, calculate the
span for the calibration weight in use. Divide the resulting span by .5, .25
or .1 respectively before comparing the span to the table. The "Full Load"
raw counts (span + dead load) should not exceed 70.0000 counts.
Dead Load Minimum Span
2.0000 to 17.5000 counts 5.3000 counts
17.5000 to 28.0000 counts 11.5000 counts
Table 1. Minimum Span Requirements

the scale will prompt you to enter the password ("Ent Cd") before allowing
parameter access.
To exit the Configuration Setup Menu, scroll through the menu options by pressing
the UNITS button until "donE n" appears. Press ZERO until "donE Y" appears and
then press the UNITS button. The indicator will return to the normal weighing mode.
All menu sections will be saved at that time.
NOTE: No setup information is saved until scale returns to the RUN mode. In the event of a power
failure while in the Configuration Setup Menu, any changes that have been made will be
lost.
Entering and Exiting the Calibration Setup Menu:
To enter the Calibration Setup Menu. Remove the two screws mounting the access
cover. Once opened, momentarily press the Calibration button (S1), located on the
main PC board, to enter the Calibration menu. The indicator will display the first
menu parameter, "CAP 50" (Where 50 can be any valid capacity).
To exit the Calibration Setup Menu, simply press the calibration button (S1) to exit
the menus. The indicator will return to the normal weighing mode. All modified
parameter selections will be saved.
NOTE: No setup information is saved until the scale returns to the RUN mode. In the event of a
power failure while in the Calibration Setup Menu, any changes that have been made will be
lost.

14
Stepping Through the Menu Parameters:
Once the Calibration Setup Menu has been entered, you may step through the
menus by pressing and releasing UNITS. A different display prompt will appear for
each parameter in the menu.
The parameter list on the following pages corresponds to the parameters available in
the Calibration Setup Menu. Items available in both the configuration menu and the
calibration menu will be indicated by a ‡ after the item description. Items available
only in the configuration menu are indicated by ‡‡.
Some of the menu parameters, when changed affect settings of other parameters.
The scale will limit these parameters or automatically set the parameters to meet the
new limits.
Changing a Parameter:
After finding the desired menu item, the parameters for that item may be changed.
Press and release ZERO to step through the parameter list for that item. The list of
choices will repeat if you keep pressing and releasing ZERO. When you have found
the desired setting, press UNITS to go to the next menu item.
Quick Review of Setup Parameters:
Setup parameters for the 4300 may be quickly reviewed without opening the scale.
Remove power and press and hold the ZERO button while you apply power. Hold
the button until the scale begins to scroll through the setup parameters. The button
may be released anytime after the review has begun. After the parameters are
displayed, the scale will return to the normal weighing mode automatically.
Legal for Trade Restrictions:
When the Legal for Trade mode is enabled, it automatically disables some menus
and parameter options. This is done to comply with NTEP requirements. The
menus and parameter sections are shown on the following pages. Those menus
and/or parameters, not available when in the Legal for Trade mode, are marked by
an asterisk *.
Sealing the Scale Calibration Cover and Backplate:
After all setup changes are finished and the indicator is in the normal weighing
mode, re-install the access cover. Make sure the access cover and all the screws
are re-installed in their original locations.
CALIBRATION COVER: Even pressure is applied to 2 bolts. It will prevent any
gaps between the backplate, the gasket, and the case, thereby
preventing debris and moisture from getting into the scale. The
factory recommended torque specification is 6in-lbs.
TOWERS: Even pressure is applied to all 22 bolts. It will prevent any gaps
between the backplate, the gasket, and the case, thereby preventing
debris and moisture from getting into the scale. The factory
recommended torque specification is 6in-lbs.
METERS: Completely tighten the four backplate screws. The meter has a built
in design that will prevent crushing the gasket from overtightened
bolts. The average factory torque setting is between 25 to 30in-lbs.
