1.0 Installation
The standard Model 350 zinc die cast enclosure is a NEMA1 (IP 20) equivalent. The Model 350/355
stainless steel enclosure meets NEMA 4X/IP65 type specifications.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock! Service of the indicator should
only be performed by authorized service personnel.
If the Model 350/355 is being plugged into an outlet, it must have an
earth ground. Make sure the supply voltage from the outlet meets the
requirements of the indicator.
When choosing a mounting location for the Model 350 die cast, ensure
that the unit is not installed in a wash-down area or conductive dust
environment.
1.1 Desktop Mounting
The die cast enclosure is designed for desktop mounting. When set on a flat surface, the front face is angled
for easy viewing. An optional swivel bracket is available for a broader range of viewing. All wiring enters
from the rear and can be secured with the included screw mounted cable ties.
The stainless steel models have a swivel bracket for quick adjustment of viewing angle.
1.2 Panel Mounting (350 Die Cast Only)
The optional panel mount kit allows the zinc die cast enclosure to be installed in a user panel. Allow for 2.00"
(57.2mm) depth behind the panel surface. See the Panel Mount cutout drawing below for dimensions.
7.33” – 7.45”
(
186.2 – 189.2mm
)
5.25” – 5.37”

1.4 AC and DC Power
1.4.1 Battery Operated
The optional battery module gives the Model 350/355 portability, providing a Model 350 with a LCD display
and one loadcell 20 hours minimum battery life, or a Model 350/355 with a LED display and one loadcell 8
hours minimum battery life.
1.4.1.1 ON/OFF Switch
The on/off switch for the Model 350 die cast is a rocker-type switch that is located on the rear of the
enclosure.
The on/off switch for the Model 350/355 stainless is a toggle-type (washdown type) switch replaces one of
the available strain reliefs on the bottom or rear of the enclosure.
The Model 350/355 will immediately switch to battery operation when AC power is interrupted if the switch is
in the ON position. Placing the switch in the OFF position prevents the battery from running down when AC
power is removed. The battery will be charged whenever there is AC power to the Model 350/355, regardless
of the switch position.
1.4.2 AC Operated
The AC version does not have an On/Off switch. Plug the indicator into an appropriate AC outlet. Unplug
the indicator to turn it off.

2.1.3 Weigh Mode Functions
The Model 350 and Model 355 keypads have five primary Weigh Mode functions:
"Performs a gross zero and selects the gross mode
Initiates data transmission out the communication port
2Toggles the units of measure between lb, kg, (g, lb oz, oz if enabled)
#Tares any displayed weight and selects the net mode
!Toggles the display between GROSS, NET, QUANTITY and setpoint TARGETS (if enabled)
2.2 Displays
The Model 350 is available with a LED or LCD while the Model 355 is only available with a LED. The Model
350 and Model 355 will display alphanumeric data, but due to the nature of 7-segment LEDs/LCD and the
limitation of six digits, some information is abbreviated.
All segments and annunciators are illuminated for a brief display test upon power up. The current gross
weight is then displayed in default units.
2.2.1 LED
The LED display is a six digit, 7-segment bright green LED screen with 12 annunciators to show
weight and status information. The SP1, SP2, and SP3 annunciators are red, green, and yellow. Also
there is an annunciator for a third unit under kg. Place the third unit label above the third annunciator
(the third unit is available on both the LED and LCD displays).
Figure 6: Model 350/355 LED
2.2.2 LCD
The LCD display is a six digit, 7-segment black LCD screen with 12 annunciators and a bargraph to show the
operational status.

2.3 Remote Display
The remote display function allows a master indicator (Model 350 or Model 355) to be echoed to another
indicator (350 Series or 60 Series) and be used in a remote location. There are certain parameters that must
be set in order to have the master and slave indicators communicate together. If the remote display mode is

attempting to use. Over filling can be prevented with the use of pre-act values (PA1 and PA2). Pre-act 1
(PA1) is used for switching the fast fill to a slow fill. Pre-act 2 (PA2) is used as a final cutoff value.

3.7.2.1 Activation Method
The fill begins with the selected activation method. The method is determined by the parameters in the setup
mode.
The deactivation of the setpoints is automatic. The desired target may be based on net or quantity (if
counting is enabled).
Activation types
•Tare key – Press the #key to start the process. A tare weight will be set and the weight will switch
to net zero.
•Remote key – Press the remote key switch.
•Auto-start – The process is automatically activated. It waits for a no-motion condition and then adds
the target to the current displayed weight to achieve a relative cutoff value.

With a system set up to fill 55-gallon drums with motor oil, the following settings might be used to achieve an
accurate final fill weight of 400 lbs.:
Parameter Setting Actual Cutoff Value Comments
Targ 1 = 400 Desired final weight.
Pre-act 1 = 28 400 – 28 = 372.0 Switch to dribble feed at 372.
Pre-act 2 = .5 400 – 0.5 = 399.5 Final fill valve closes at 399.5.

3.8 Batch
The standard batch program is used for batching up to three separate items. Ingredients 1 through 3 use
setpoints and pre-acts 1 through 3 respectively. Ingredients are batched one at a time. Free falling product
can be accounted for with the use of pre-act values (PA1 – PA3). This feature must be enabled before
attempting to use.

With a system set up a system to make a 50,000 lb batch with water (30,000 lbs.), corn syrup (15,000 lbs.)
and caramel color (5,000 lbs.), ingredient 1 should start with 1and subsequent ingredients should auto-
start.
Parameter Setting Actual Cutoff Value Comments
Target 1 = 30,000 Desired water weight.
Pre-Act 1 = 100 30,000 – 100 = 29,900 Water valve closes at 29,900 lbs. Free-fall will bring
weight to 30,000.
Start 1 = Tare Start water with #.
Target 2 = 15,000 Desired corn syrup weight.
Pre-Act 2 = 236 15,000 – 236 = 14,764 Corn syrup valve closes at 14,764 lbs. Free-fall will
bring weight to 15,000.
Start 2 = Auto Calculated cutoff value for corn syrup is added to
current displayed weight
Start corn syrup when water is done and motion has
stopped.
Target 3 = 5,000 Desired caramel coloring weight.
Pre-Act 3 = 142 5,000 – 142 = 4,858 Carmel coloring valve closes at 4,858. Free-fall will
bring weight to 5,000.
Start 3 = Auto Calculated cutoff value for caramel coloring is added
to current displayed weight
Start caramel coloring when corn syrup is done and
motion has ceased.
