Scale Operation
Fig. 1: Model 8200IS Front Panel Layout
Scale Annunciators
Unit of measure lb, oz, kg, or g. The units annunciator to the right of the
display will indicate the current unit of measure.
Net weighing mode is indicated by the NET annunciator. The annunciator
will illuminate when a net weight is displayed. When not illuminated, a
gross weight is displayed.
►0◄
Center of zero. The annunciator will illuminate while the scale is
displaying a zero weight.
MOTION
Motion indicator. This symbol represents motion or instability of the
weight. The annunciator will illuminate when motion is sensed on the
platform. Changes in weight, vibration or air currents can cause the scale
to go into motion.
Battery annunciator. Indicates that the battery is near low battery status
that automatically turns off the indicator. Recharge the battery or replace
with a charged battery.

4
1 to 8 setpoint output status indicators. Below the weight display are
annunciators that are illuminated when an output is active in weighing
mode or the current setpoint or preact is being edited.
Powering On and Off
Connect the indicator to a compatible AC or Battery power source.
To turn the indicator on, press ZERO.
To turn the indicator off, press and hold ZERO until
OFF
is displayed.
Basic Weighing Operation
1) Remove all items from the scale platform
2) Press the ZERO button to zero the scale
3) The weight display now reads zero
4) Place an item on the scale platform and wait for the motion annunciator to turn
off, indicating an accurate, stable weight
ZERO
ZERO is used to zero the scale. To zero the scale, press the ZERO button. The scale
will not zero if the scale is in motion. The zero function will operate over the entire
capacity of the scale.
If the scale is displaying a net weight, pressing ZERO will return the scale to gross mode
and display a zero weight. The stored tare will remain in memory.
The scale is equipped with a Zero on Demand parameter which zeros the scale upon
the next stable reading after ZERO is pressed.
TARE
Place the item you wish to tare on the scale platform and press TARE. The scale will
display a net weight and the NET annunciator will illuminate.
Tare weights will remain in memory even if the indicator is turned off.
Keyboard TARE entry
Enter a weight and press TARE to save or press CLEAR to cancel tare entry. The scale
will display a net weight and the NET annunciator will illuminate.
Digital Tare Entry
Enter a weight and press TARE to save or press CLEAR to cancel tare entry. The scale
will display a net weight and the NET annunciator will illuminate.
When utilizing the Product ID memory, a Tare weight is stored with the associated
Product ID number if desired.

5
Display TARE value
To display the current tare value, press and hold TARE for three seconds. The display
will briefly read
TARE
then flash the tare weight in the currently selected units. To exit
press CLEAR.
Clear TARE value
Enter 0 and press TARE. This will remove the tare weight from memory. The display
will read
CLRTAR
to confirm the tare value has been cleared.
GROSS NET
Press the GROSS NET button to switch between the gross and net weighing mode.
Switching to the net mode is possible only when a tare is entered. Net mode is
indicated when the NET annunciator is illuminated.
UNITS
UNITS selects the unit of measure. Press UNITS to change the current unit. The units
annunciator to the right of the display will indicate the current unit or measure: lb, oz, kg,
or g. Lb:oz is disabled by default. Each unit can be enabled or disabled in the scale
parameter setup.
PRINT
PRINT transmits data to a printer or other external devices. When the data is
transmitted, the leftmost display digit will momentarily display an "r" to confirm data
transmission.
There are many parameters that customize the control of manual and automatic
transmission of data. Data can be transmitted via standard fiber optics to Doran’s safe
area fiber optic converter. Contact Doran Tech Support at [email protected] for
support.
Password Protected Setpoint, Preact, Tare and Check Limit Values
All values can be reviewed, but cannot be changed unless the password is deactivated.
If the password protection is activated, the display will display
PASS
when the
SETPOINT, TARE, UNDER or OVER values are changed. Enter the password and
press ENTER, the display shows
PASS
then
OFF
. Press SETPOINT to change or review
weight values or press and hold SETPOINT to edit or review preacts.
After entering the new setpoint or preact values, press and hold the ENTER button for 2
seconds to activate the password protection.
NOTE: If a password number has been activated in parameter 2.10
PASS
, the password
protection will be activated upon power up.

Setpoint and Output Operation for Standard Configuration
The 8200IS is equipped with eight outputs and eight setpoints. The output must be
assigned by the Output Configuration (9.7
OUT
) parameter to any of the eight setpoints,
remote input, batch program control and threshold weight to activate. A setpoint is a
target weight that triggers an output. The method of triggering the assigned output is
controlled by the configuration of the Setpoint Operation (9.4
S.O.
) parameter. No
outputs are available on board due to intrinsic safety requirements. All output status will
be communicated via fiber optic to a safe area communications box such as Doran’s
optional 8FB fiber optic to RS232 converter.
Enter SETPOINT Target Weight
Press SETPOINT. The last viewed or edited setpoint will be displayed. Press UNITS or
PRINT to scroll through the eight available setpoints. The annunciators below the main
display indicate the current setpoint.
Enter the setpoint weight using the numeric keypad. Press SETPOINT to accept the
change and return to the weigh mode or press UNITS or PRINT to save and edit other
setpoints. Press SETPOINT to exit this mode.
The display will read
ABORT
to indicate no changes were made to the setpoint values or
the display will read
SAVED
to indicate the setpoint value is saved.
Display SETPOINT Target Weight
Press SETPOINT. The last viewed or edited setpoint will be displayed. Press UNITS or
PRINT to scroll through the eight available setpoints. The annunciators below the main
display indicate the current setpoint. Press SETPOINT to exit this mode.
Setpoint Learning Preacts
A preact works with setpoints to allow the user to enter setpoint target weights that are
the final desired weight. The preact automatically adjusts the setpoint target weight
required for material in transit variations or line pressure changes. The output assigned
to the setpoint will then transition before the setpoint target weight is achieved.
Note: Preacts are always adjusting the weight through the learning process. If the
process has not changed, it should not be necessary to change this value. If the
process is not reliably in control, change Preact Adjustment % Configuration (9.6
PRE
)
parameter to dial in the learning process. Use the password protection feature if
adjustment of the preact could cause a safety issue.
Output Transition = Setpoint target weight – preact weight
The preact value changes based upon the final weight using the following formula:
Preact = previous preact + Adjustment % x (final stable weight – setpoint target weight)
The Preact Adjustment % Configuration (9.6
PRE
) parameter affects how the learning
preact will react to changes. The default value is 50% when the learning preact is
turned on. The final stable weight sample will be collected within 3.5 seconds of the
output transition. If no stable weight can be achieved in this time, the preact will not be
