3. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
The Scale Meter is a compact, inexpensive, and extremely accurate digital panel meter with
special firmware for weighing applications. It is available with a load cell or a DC signal condi-
tioner board.
The load cell signal conditioner board accepts full-scale ranges of ±20, ±50, ±100, ±250
and ±500 mV with 4- or 6-wire load cell hookup to display up to 99,999 counts. With 4-wire
hookup, the meter operates in a ratiometric mode to eliminate errors due to supply variations.
With 6-wire hookup, it also compensates for variations in transducer lead resistance, thereby
allowing long cable runs in changing temperature environments. he built-in, isolated excita-
tion supply can power up to four 350-ohm load cells in parallel at 10 Vdc.
The DC signal conditioner board can be jumpered for ratiometric strain gauge voltage
ranges ±200 mV, ±2V or ±20V. With this board, a 20 mV strain gauge output can be scaled to
display up to 10,000 counts, while a 200 mV output can be scaled to display up to 99,999
counts.
Meter accuracy is 0.01% of full scale ± 2 counts. Custom curve linearization, available with an
optional Extended main board, can extend the accuracy of actual load cells near the low and
high ends of their ranges. It also allows high accuracy readings to be achieved with lower cost,
less linear load cells.
The standard power supply is a switching model designed for universal AC power. A low-
voltage supply is optional for power from 10-48V batteries or from 12-30 Vac. Both supplies
provide an isolated 5, 10 or 24Vdc transducer excitation output.
The meter case conforms to the 1/8 DIN size standard. It is made of high impact, 94V-0 UL-
rated plastic and is watertight to NEMA-4 (IP65) when panel mounted. Mounting is from the
front of the panel and requires less than 110 mm behind the panel. Power and signal wiring is
via removable plugs conforming to UL61010C safety standards. All output options are isolated
from meter and power ground to 250 Vac.
Alarm or setpoint control is provided by an optional relay board with two Form C 8A contact
relays or two Form A 130 mA solid state relays. he setpoints may be latching or non-latching,
be energized above or below the setpoint, or operate in a fail-safe mode. he relays can
operate from the filtered signal to reduce relay chatter or from the unfiltered signal for fastest
response. Snubber circuits and a programmable relay switching time delay extend relay
contact life.
An isolated analog output of 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, 0-10V or -10 to +10V can be provided by an
optional analog output board. he output is linearized to the display and can operate from the
filtered or unfiltered signal input. It can be scaled via front panel pushbuttons or the meter’s
serial interface.
Ethernet, USB, RS232, or RS485 (2-wire half-duplex or 4-wire full-duplex) serial communi-
cations options are available with the Modbus protocol or a simpler custom ASCII protocol.
Modbus operation includes R U or ASCII modes, up to 247 digital addresses, and up to 32
devices per RS485 line without a repeater. Ethernet-to-RS485 and USB-to-RS485 converter
boards allow a meter to be interfaced to a PC and to multiple meters on an RS485 network.
Scale meter programming can be via the meter’s front panel or a PC running Windows
based Instrument Setup Software (serial interface option required).

4. ADVANCED OPERATING FEATURES
• Setpoint offset. he ON/OFF setpoint control action can be programmed to occur with a
specified offset. For instance, if bags are to be filled to 100 lbs and the material delivery
spout is known to hold and dispense an additional 2.5 lbs following shut-off, an offset of -2.5
lbs can be programmed. he setpoint can then be set to 100 lbs, and the filling valve will be
automatically shut off when the measured weight reaches 97.5 lbs.
• Dribble factor. On/off setpoint control action can be programmed to occur with a specified
offset. For instance, if bags are to be filled to 100 lbs and the material delivery spout is
known to hold and dispense an additional 2.5 lbs following shut-off, an offset of -2.5 lbs can
be programmed. he setpoint can then be set to 100 lbs, and the filling valve will be
automatically shut off when the measured weight reaches 97.5 lbs.
• Count-by function. he weight meter can be programmed so that the display is rounded off
to multiples of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 or 1000. For example, if count-by 10 is
selected, the meter will display 20 for an internal count of 15 to 24.
• Fixed dummy right-hand zero. he display can be shifted to the left for a fixed zero to the
right, allowing values up to 999,990 to be displayed. his removes the ability to have
decimal points.
• Auto-zero function. An auto-zero limit from 0 to 9 counts can be programmed to compen-
sate for load cell drift. Whenever the meter comes to rest within that limit from zero, it will
auto-zero. It will auto-tare to display zero with a slowly drifting input. Entering 0 disables
auto-zero.
Two tare functions: auto-tare and manual tare. In auto-tare, a control input line is grounded
by an external pushbutton. his causes the current weight, which is normally the empty weight
of the container to be stored in memory as an offset. In manual tare, the tare value can be
entered manually via the front panel or a computer. For instance, the tare value may be the
stated empty weight of a truck or rail car. Pressing the Reset button on the front panel toggles
the display between gross weight (total weight on the scale) and net weight (gross weight with
tare subtracted).

plugs.
PANEL MOUNTING
Slide the meter into the 45 x 92 mm 1/8 DIN panel cutout.
Ensure that the provided gasket is in place between the
front of the panel and the back of the meter bezel.
he meter is secured by two pawls, each held by a screw.
urning a screw clockwise extends the pawl outward.
urning the screw clockwise further tightens it against the
panel to secure the meter.
urning a screw counterclockwise loosens the pawl and
retracts it into its well. his allows the meter to be inserted
into the panel cutout for installation, or to be removed from
the panel cutout following installation.
Note: In no case should a screw be removed from its pawl. Doing so would cause the screw
and pawl to fall off and likely get lost.

9. FRONT PANEL SETUP KEYS
Meter Front Panel
here are four front panel keys, which change function for the Run Mode and Menu Mode,
effectively becoming eight keys. he keys are labeled with alphanumeric captions (MENU,
PEAK, RESE , ALARMS) for the Run Mode and with symbols ( right arrow,
right triangle, up triangle, left arrow) for the Menu Mode.
FRONT PANEL LOCKOUT
he Menu Mode will not work with most meters as received from the factory, since all menu
items have been disabled in software and a lockout jumper is in place. hat jumper needs to
be removed for the Menu Mode to work, and menu items under Loc 1, Loc 2 and Loc 3 then
need to be set to "0" via the front panel for these menu items to be unlocked See Section
10. he paragraphs below assume that all menu items have been unlocked.
MENU MODE KEY ACTION
In the Menu Mode, pressing a key momentarily advances to the next menu item. Holding
down a key automatically advances through multiple menu items for fast menu navigation.
KEYS IN RUN MODE
MENU Key. Pressing MENU from the Run Mode enters the Menu Mode. Pressing
MENU repeatedly will step the meter through the various menu items (if these have not
been locked out) and then back to the Run Mode.
PEAK Key. Pressing PEAK normally causes the peak value of the input signal to be
displayed. he peak display then blinks to differentiate it from the normal present value
display. Pressing PEAK again returns the display to the present value. he PEAK key
can also be programmed to display Valley, alternating Peak or Valley, or to are the
reading to zero. When Peak or Valley is selected, periodic horizontals bars at the top of
the display indicate Peak, and periodic horizontals bars at the bottom indicate Valley.
RESET Key. Pressing RESET with PEAK resets peak and valley values. Pressing
RESET with ALARMS resets latched alarms. Pressing RESET with MENU performs a
meter reset (same as power on). Meter reset can also be applied via a rear panel
connect or a serial ASCII command.
ALARMS Key. Pressing ALARMS once displays the setpoint for Alarm 1. Pressing it
again displays the setpoint for Alarm 2. Pressing it again returns to the present value.

12
KEYS IN MENU MODE
Right Arrow Key (MENU). Pressing steps the meter through all menu items that
have been enabled and then back to the Run Mode. With the DC signal conditioner
board and no option boards, available menu items are _InPut, SEtuP, ConFG, _FiLtr,
dEc.Pt, SCALE, OFFst, Loc 1, Loc 2, Loc 3. If a change has been made to a menu
item, that change is saved to non-volatile memory when the key is pressed next,
and StoreE is displayed briefly.
Right Triangle Key (Digit Select).
• Pressing from the nPut menu brings up all meter functions available with the
meter's signal conditioner. For the DC signal conditioner, these are _dC U, _dC A
and _rAtio.
• Pressing from the SEtuP, ConfFG, FiLtr, SCALE, OFFSt, Loc 1, Loc 2 or Loc 3
menus items sequentially selects digit positions 1 - 5, as indicated by a flashing digit:
0000, 0000, 00 00, 000 0, 0000 .
• Pressing from the dEC.Pt menu item sequentially selects decimal point positions,
which will flash: d.dddd dd.ddd ddd.dd dddd.d ddddd. .ddddd.
Up Triangle Key (Value Select). Pressing for a flashing item (digit position or
decimal point position) will increment that item. Pressing MENU will save any changes.
Left Arrow Key (Reverse Menu). Pressing has the same effect as the MENU key,
except that menu items are brought up in reverse order.

13
1 . ENABLING & LOCKING OUT MENU ITEMS
For security reasons and ease of meter operation, any or all menu
items may be disabled or "locked out" so that they are no longer
accessible from the front panel. Each function to be disabled can be
set to "1" under menu headers Loc 1-4, while each function to be
enabled can be set to "0." Access to the menu headers Loc 1-4 can in
turn be locked out by installing a hardware jumper on the power
supply board. With the jumper installed, the operator only has access
to previously enable menu items, not to the menu headers Loc 1-4
and hence not to the menu items below. With the jumper removed,
the operator has access to menu headers Loc 1-4 and hence to the
menu items below.
SETTING THE HARDWARE LOCKOUT JUMPER
o access the lockout jumper, remove the rear panel per Section
10 and locate jumper “a” in the lower portion of the power supply
board next to the input connectors (see figure).
SETTING SOFTWARE LOCKOUTS
Set the lockout digit to "1" if you do not want the
menu item to be changed by an operator, other-
wise to “0”.
Loc 1 Loc 2 Loc 3 Loc 4
Press the MENU key until Loc 1, Loc 2, Loc 3
or Loc 4 is displayed. Note: hardware lockout
jumper “a” must be removed (see above).
12345
Press to set the flashing digit to "0" to enable the
menu item or to "1" to disable. Press MENU to
enter. See the table to the right for the list of menu
items that can be enabled or disabled.

11. PROCESS & STRAIN INPUT JUMPERS
Process and strain input scale meters utilize the DC signal conditioner board, which offers
sensitivity to ±200 mV and can operate in a ratiometric mode, which removes effects caused
by variations in the excitation supply. his board needs to be configured via jumpers for the
desired voltage or current range. All signal ranges are factory calibrated with calibration factors
stored in EEPROM. he meter software recognizes the board and will bring up the appropriate
menu items for it; however, it does not recognize the jumper settings. Please see further
manual sections for relay output, analog output, communications, and transducer excitation
output.
RANGE SELECTION VIA JUMPERS
1. Letters indicate jumper position. Jumpers are installed on pins adjacent to letters.
2. Use 5 mm (0.2") jumpers for locations designated by a capital letter.
3. Use 2.5 mm (0.1") jumpers for locations designated by a lower case letter.
4. Store spare jumpers on an unused jumper post not associated with a capital letter.
SCALE & OFFSET SETUP
For process, strain, and load cell scale meters, scaling is normally set up from the front panel
using the and keys, but can also be set up via RS232/485 using PC-compatible
Instrument Setup software (available at no charge). he meter allows three scaling methods to
be selected: 1) Scale & Offset method, 2) Coordinates of 2 Points method, or 3) Reading
Coordinates of 2 Points method. Only menu items applicable to the selected method will be
presented. Please see the Glossary for an explanation of each method.

Notes 1. See Section 17 to select 10V excitation.
2. Jumpers are 2.5 mm (0.1 in).
3. Store spare jumpers on an unused jumper post.
SCALE & OFFSET SETUP
For load cell scale meters, scaling is normally set up from the front panel using the and
keys, but can also be set up via RS232/485 using special PC-compatible Instrument Setup
software (available at no charge). he meter allows three scaling methods to be selected:
1) Scale & Offset method, 2) Coordinates of 2 Points method, or 3) Reading Coordinates of
2 Points method. Only menu items applicable to the selected method will be presented. Please
see the Glossary for an explanation of each method.
Load cell scale meters utilize the load cell signal conditioner board, which offers sensitivity to
±20 mV full scale and 4- or 6-wire load cell connection. his board needs to be configured via
jumpers for the desired voltage range. All signal ranges are factory calibrated with calibration
factors stored in EEPROM. he meter software recognizes the board and will bring up the
appropriate menu items for it; however, it does not recognize the jumper settings. Please see
further manual sections for relay output, analog output, communications, and transducer
excitation output.

13. SCALE METER SETUP
When the Reading Coordinates of 2 Points scaling method is selected under ConFG, the
four menu items below will appear ahead of all other menu items when the MENU or
key is first pressed from the run mode. his scaling method applies a straight line fit
between two points, which are determined from actual transducer signals and the desired
corresponding meter readings. A low signal, such as the output of a load cell at zero weight,
and a high signal, such as the output of the same load cell at a known high weight, are
applied to the meter. he desired corresponding low and high readings are then entered
from the front panel. he meter then applies straight line fit between the high and low
calibration points. his scaling method has the advantage of calibrating the transducer and
meter as a system. he actual voltage or current at either point does not need to be known.
his method is ideal for process and load cell scale meters, which require zero and span
adjustment.
he other two scaling methods, namely scale and offset method and coordinates of 2 points
method, are selectable under SEtuP when ConFG, digit 2 is set to 0.
he programming example below is for Reading Coordinates of 2 Points scaling for a scale
meter used with a 4-20 mA load cell transducer for 0-100 lbs. Decimal points are set
separately using the dEC.Pt menu.
