I. IN RODUC ION
The EI-25 is an economical weight indicator meant to meet simple
performance requirements or for use in remote locations where power supply
is a concern.
II. SPECIFICA IONS

III. Installation and startup
Before opening the box the indicator was shipped in, inspect it
for damage. If damage occurred during shipping file a claim with
the carrier.
1. Choose a location for the scale and indicator
2. The scale should be on a flat surface, refer to the scale manual for full
installation instructions.
3. Bolt the EI-25 indicator to the wall through the enclosures mounting feet. 15
feet of load cell cable is standard on Eagle Microsystems scales but
additional length may be provided if specified at time of order.
4. Open the enclosure and place 2 D-cell batteries in the holder at the rear of
the instrument
5. Bring the load cell cable into the enclosure through the strain relief at the
bottom of the enclosure and wire it to TB1 on the left hand side of the
instrument PCB. Refer to the table at the end of this manual for scale
specific wiring codes
IV. General Operation
The EI-25 has three pushbuttons as shown below:
Pushbutton functions
General function Special function
Down arrow Decreases displayed
value
Press and hold 3 seconds
to adjust remaining weight
Up arrow Increases displayed value Press and hold 3 seconds
to adjust remaining weight
Enter/select Toggles between gross
and remaining weight
Press and hold 3 seconds
to enter calibration mode

V. Calibration and zero procedure
1. Remove all weight from the scale.
2. Press and hold enter/select for 3 seconds OR flip the dip switch labeled “cal” on
the instrument circuit board.
3. Press the enter/select button to zero the scale with no weight on it.
4. Place a known weight on the scale and use the up and down arrows to adjust the
displayed weight on the indicator to match the appropriate gross weight.
5. Exit calibration by pressing and HOLDING the enter/select button for 3 seconds
OR return the dip switch on the circuit board to its normal position.
VI. Adjusting remaining weight(tare)
1. Put the display in remaining mode by pressing the enter/select pushbutton. Look
for the small arrow on the left side of the display.
2. Press and HOLD the up or down arrow for three seconds, the arrow on the left
side of the display will start flashing.
3. Make the adjustment to the remaining weight with the up and down arrows.
4. Press enter/select to return to normal operations.
VII. Configuration
1. Flip the dip switch on the instrument circuit board labeled “setup”.
2. A parameter number will be displayed on the front of the instrument.
3. Use the up and down arrows to navigate between different parameters
4. Press the enter/select pushbutton to view a parameter, use the up and down
arrows to adjust the parameter.
5. Press enter to back out of parameter viewing/editing mode and return to the
parameter list.
6. Flip the “setup” dip switch back to its normal position to return to normal
operating mode.
