Eagle EI-1000 Technical manual

Quickstart Setup Guide for the EI-1000/2000 Scale Indicator
Overview
This guide is meant to cover most scale setups without going into the full details contained in
the manual for the EI-1000/2000 instruments. The scale and indicator manuals contain specifics on
installation and operation.
Initial Scale Inspection(an scale)
1. Check scale for damage. hipping damage should be noted as soon as the scale is received.
2. Make sure the scale is level. If the scale is not level it will not sense weight correctly.
3. Inspect load cell cable(s) for damage. evere bends in the cable can cause unstable readings.
4. Double check the load cell cable is attached to the correct terminals on the indicator. Reference
the table in the main manual for the wiring codes each scale uses.
Indicator Setup and Calibration
The EI-1000/2000 will ship with a factory default configuration for standard scales and scale
packages made by Eagle Microsystems. Generally these settings will not need to be changed.
Recalibration should occasionally be preformed to account for changes in load cell performance that
occur naturally over time or from incidents of shock loading. Reference the abbreviated parameter list
on the next page for Auto-Zero instructions on day tank or filling operations.

Calibration
1. Enter programming menu → enter calibration(cal) sub menu. The gross LED(s) will flash.
2. With no weight on the scale press ZERO.
3. Put a known weight on the scale and use the UP or DOWN arrow to adjust the displayed weight
to the appropriate gross weight value. Remember to include the weight of the tank/cylinder.
The EI-2000 uses the left side buttons for channel 1 and right side buttons for channel 2.
4. Exit/step out of the calibration menu.
Configuration
1. Enter programming menu → enter configuration(cfg) sub menu.
2. Parameters are listed in numerical order, the EI-1000 alternates displaying the parameter
number and its value, the EI-2000 displays the parameter on the left display and its value on the
right display.
Quick parameter reference
•P001: Operating mode. 1=manual, 2=adjustable remaining, 3=automatic(default),
4=adjustable tare, 5=adjustable remaining, 6=gross only
•P100,200 etc: cale selection. 1 and up=factory default for a particular scale model, user=full
scale configuration(P110-117) by user, cy-1=copy channel 1 configuration. P200 should be
OFF on EI-1000 indicators.
•P113,213 etc: Auto Zero. et to OFF for day tank or filling operation. low filling can
potentially be zeroed out automatically otherwise.
•P600: 4-20 output type. rE=remaining, Gr=gross, Gt=gross total from all channels,
nt=remaining total from all channels
•P610,620 etc: Full scale for channel 1,2 etc. The number displayed is the value for the full
scale (20 mA output).
