DINRailInstallation:
1. PlacethetopslotoftheinstrumentontotheDINrailfirst.
2. Rotatetheinstrumentdownuntilthebottomtaboftheinstrument
engugeswiththeDINrail,thenpressfirmlyonthebottomonthe
instrumentuntilitsnapsinplace.
Note:HeavyGageDINrailrecommended.
3. CheckforproperDINrailengagementby gently lifting upon the 
bottomandmakingsuretheinstrumentissecurlyinplace.

4. Repeatwithadditionalunitsasrequiredforyoursystem.
5. ToremoveaninstrumentfromaDINrail,disconnectwiringthenlift
uponthebottom‐frontcornerofthemoduleuntilitsnapsoff.

Note:Themaximumdistancebetweenthefirstandthelast
moduleinthesystemis500feet(150meters).
TheGatewayshouldplacedattheendofasystem
Wiring:
1. AfterunitsaresecurelymountedonDINrail,removeterminal
connectorsmakingnoteofthewiringmarkingsfoundonthe
connectorlabelslocatedontheinstruments.

PowerInputTerminationNotes:
a) ItisNOTnecessarytoprovidepowertoeverymodule.Poweris
distributedfromtheGatewayModuletoothermodulesonthe
systemviatheHardyNetPortandtheCat5ecabling.

b) Youmustuseapower‐limited12‐24VDCpowersupply(Class2)
ontheDCinputwiring.DCpowershouldbesuppliedbyaclean
primaryline,directlyfromtheDCpowersource.

c) MakesuretheVDCsourceisoffbeforeconnectinganywiresto
themoduleandbeforepluggingintheterminalconnectors.

d) Connectthe24VDCvoltagewire,groundwireandshieldwire
totheconnectorthatplugsintotheDCvoltagesocketlocated
onthebottomoftheGatewaymodule.Thefactoryinstalled

DiscoveringWeightProcessingModulespresentonthesystem:
ThesystemrequiresaprocessofdiscoverythatallowstheGateway
ModuletoidentifyandtestcommunicationswithallWeightProcessor
ModulesconnectedontheHardyNet.Thediscoveryprocessis
automaticallyinitateduponpowerupofthesystem;verifyallmodules
onthesystemhaveberegisteredbytheGatewaybycheckingthe

channelnumbercountlocatedintheHardyNetsub‐menuofthe
Gatewaymodulemenustructure.

TheChannelIdentificationandchannelordernumbermayalsobe
modifedintheHardyNetsub‐menusectionduringsystemsetup.

Oncethediscoveryprocessiscompleted,proceedtosettingupeach
individualchannelbyfollowingthebasicSETUPinstructionsforeach
channeloutlinedbelow.

Suggestedstepswhensettinguptheinstrumentforthefirsttime:
ChooseaspecificWeightProcessorModuletosetupbyselectinga

C2eCAL–ElectronicCalibration

1) Removeallweightfromthescale.
2) Setgravitycorrectionforlocationofweighingsystem
3) PressDoC2Cal.
4) Placeaverificationweightonthescaletoensurecalibrationis
successful.

HardCal‐TraditionalCalibration

1) InputtheSpanWeight.Thespanweightshouldbeabout80%
ofthescalecapacity.
2) InputCalLowWeight.Withnothingonthescale,theCalLow

be5.
3) PressDoCalLowtosetthelowpointonthecalibrationcurve.
4) PlacetheSpanWeightontothescale.
5) PressDoCalHi.

RefertoUser’sGuideifadjustmentstoothercalibration‐related
parametersarerequired.

Communication:Sectionusedforsettingupcommunicationsto
theinstrument.
EthernetTCP/IP

1) ConnectanEthernetcablebetweentheinstrument’sRJ45
connectorandaPC,thenpoweruptheinstrument.Across‐
overcableisnotrequired,butcanbeused.
2) Theinstrumentwillauto‐negotiatesettingssuitableforavariety
ofoperatingsystemsandnetworkconfigurations.Wait
approximately15secondsandchecktoseeifthegreenlightof
theEthernetportisonandblinking–ifso,skiptostep8–you
areconnected.
3) IfthegreenlightontheEthernetportdoesnotlightup,check
thattheunit’sEnableDHCPisturnedoffandfollowsteps4
through9.

4) Usingtheunit’sFixedIPaddress(thedefaultis
192.168.000.100),thePCmustnowbeassignedauniqueIP
address(forexample,192.168.000.101)

TherearetwosimplerulesfortheIPAddress:

Itmusthavethesamenetworkidentifierasthecomputer.

Itmusthaveadifferentnodeidentifierthanthecomputer.


5) OnaPCrunningwindows,openInternetProperties(TCP/IP).
6) Clickinthe‘UsetheFollowingIPAddress’checkbox;thenenter
thefollowingintotheTCP/IPPropertiesdialog.
IPAddress=192.168.0.101

networksettings,returntothe‘InternetProperties(TCP/IP)
dialog,select‘ObtainanIPaddressautomatically,’andclickOK.

8) TheHI6500seriesinstrumentisnowconfiguredto
