Section 3:
Conguration
Conguration
All units must be on the same ID to communicate with each other. There are 16 IDs available ( IDs 0 through 15)
For each Radio in the system:
1. Set the BLACK ID DIP switch to the desired ID
2. Set the BLUE BAUD RATE DIP switch to match the serial device connected to the XTP unit.
*Any change in DIP Switch settings will cause the RED CONFIG LED to turn on. Transmission will be disabled until
step 3 is performed. The BLACK DIP for TEST MODE must be o for normal operation.
3. Press the CONFIG button. The three GREEN conguration LEDs will illuminate as setup progresses.
When all three LEDs light up Conguration is complete. **
If there is a problem with conguration the RED CONFIG LED will blink every 5 seconds up to 6 times. RED CONFIG LED will then
blink several times rapidly. Wait a minimum of 5 seconds before pressing the CONFIG button again.
** It may take up to 30 seconds after conguration before a link is established with other units and data is transmitted between
units.
When the XTP has been properly congured and properly wired according to Section 1 the corresponding GREEN LED (RS232,
CLOOP, or RS422) will blink with each data transmission. The RED Receiving Wireless Signal LED will blink with each data burst
received from the matching transmitter. Ideally with each GREEN blink on the transmit side there will be a corresponding RED blink
on the receiver side. If the receiver side is infrequent the signal is not reliably getting from one unit to the other. Reposition
antennas for direct line of sight as much as is feasible.
Optional IO (Input Output) Cards
The XTP Module has the option to add up to 2 cards used for IO line passing for other XTP units on the same ID. Each card has
either 4 input or 4 outputs. Each system can only have one WHITE input card on IO Card Slot 1 and 1 WHITE input card on IO Card
Slot 2 (See Figure 3.1). These units may be in the same XTP unit or dierent units. Any system can have as many BLACK Output
cards as required on any IO Card Slot without interference
Changing IO cards may require repeating step 3 above as indicated if the RED CONFIG LED turns on..
IO Card Slot 1 controls IO 1 through 4 and IO Card Slot2 controls IO 5-8 (Cards can be used ineither slot.
Only IOs 0-7 are sent using IDs 0-5 and 12-15 (to maintain backwards compatibility with older XT Series models.
If 8 IOs are required use IDs 6-11
The XTP Built in Receiver has IO 1-3 tied into the stoplight controls on SSD series displays.
In 1 controls the red line
In 2 controls the green line
In 3 controls the amber line

Optional IO (Input Output) Cards (Continued)
Connect a switch between GROUND and the desired input line on the BLACK Input Card. When the switch is closed the GREEN
Input LED will light. When the loop is open the light will be o. On the corresponding WHITE Output Card the RED Output LED
will match the state of the GREEN Input LED
Optional Output Relays
The XTP modules may be connected to 5 volt relays. The XTP-R2, XTP-R4 and XTP-R8 have larger versions of the case with built in
relays. Any Output line may be connected to a relay. On the WHITE Output Card connect the +5 VDC line to one side of the relay
coil and the desired output line to the other side of the relay coil.
The provided relays have connections for both NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) circuits. This allows easy logic
inversion if needed. The COM (Common) Line is used as the voltage input.

BEFORE YOU CALL, please see if any of the below problems/solutions match your conditions.
The Red PWR LED doesn’t come on
Verify the power supply is turned on and putting out 7.5 to 12 volts DC and that the wires are securely screwed into the
terminals.
No LEDs are blinking on the unit connected to the indicator/Source Device
Make sure the indicator’s port is enabled for continuous output and that the unit is wired according to section 1. The
indicator’s transmit should be wired into the XTP units receive terminals. The corresponding LEDs will blink with every
data transmission.
No LEDs are blinking on the Receiver/unit connected to the remote display
Make sure there is an LED blinking on the side connected to the indicator rst. If that side does not blink the receiving
side will not blink. If the indicator side is blinking, then make sure both units are set to the same ID and recongure both
units by pressing the CONFIG button on each side. Try unplugging one unit and plugging it back in to have the wireless
units re-establish the network. If the remote display end still does not blink, then the problem may be distance/obstacle
related. Try bringing both sides into an oce and see if they communicate over a short distance. If they do, then
reposition the units for better line of site or add a repeater to the system. Avoid mounting too close to any other RF
transmitters including Ham and CB Radios.
The Receiving Wireless Signal LED blinks on the remote display side of my XTP, but the remote shows“NoData”
The problem is probably with the wiring. Make sure you are coming out a transmit on the XTP unit and going into a
receive on the remote display. Try changing to a dierent transmit port. You do not have to use the same loop on the
remote display side as you use on the indicator side. Try bringing both sides into an oce and see if they communicate
over a short distance. Try using TEST MODE. See next page
The RX LED is blinking on the remote display side, but the remote is blank or shows random numbers.
Verify the baud rate is correct on both ends and press the CONFIG button on both units. Reset the remote display to
factory defaults by holding the LEFT and RIGHT buttons during countdown. After the unit starts to count down for the
second time let go and the remote should display the correct baud rate. If still blank, try shift data over to the left or
right.
The system is reliable except when weight is on the scale
Make sure that when a truck pulls on a scale it does not come between the two antennas. A truck acts as a solid metal
wall blocking the signal
The system sometimes works and sometimes does not.
Make sure nothing has changed at the site such as trees growing into the line of sight or gravel piles growing to block
the signal. If you are at the far edge of the maximum usable range then many things can degrade the signal including,
temperature, humidity, or large equipment being run nearby. In general, make sure both antennas are pointing straight
up and down, are as high above the earth as is reasonably possible and have a clear line of sight to each other. Other
than that you may need a repeater added to the system to extend the range. See next page. Some Indicators will stop
transmitting while the weight is in motion. IDs 6 and 11 work at dierent frequencies than all other IDs, there may be
too much noise/activity on your frequency . Try switching to one of these alternative frequency.
*If you are still unable to get the unit working after going through this list, please call our tech support at 1-800-814-4053

Section 5:
Trouble Shooting

Repeater
If the system is working but you cannot get the needed range for the job site you can try to add an extra XTP to the
system as a repeater unit. Mount the unit roughly in the middle of the distance with line of site to both ends. You
will need power at this location. Add a jumper wire from 232 RXD to 232 TXD. Any signal that can make it to this
module will then be repeated out. The original transmitting unit will have the data echoed back to it, so this will not
work for applications with bidirectional communication.
TEST MODE
The XTP Modules have a TEST MODE Option located on the bottom of the BLACK DIP Switch. This option will begin
transmitting data out at the last congured ID and Baud Rate. It is recommended that you press the CONFIG button
to verify all settings are known prior to entering TEST MODE.
While in TEST MODE the Module will transmit a data stream twice a second. If the receiving unit is within range and
setup on the same ID the RED Receiving Wireless Signal LED should blink twice a second as well. If you connect the
Receiving unit to a PC or Remote Display the Data Stream will be in the following format:
<STX><Counter>123456<Counter><CR><LF><ETX><CR-P><LF-P><ETX-P>
<STX> = Start of Text - Decimal 2
<Counter> incrementing 1 digit counter“0-9”
<CR> Carriage Return - Decimal 13
<LF> Line Feed - Decimal 10
<ETX> End of Text - Decimal 3
<CR-P> Carriage Return with parity bit - Decimal 141
<LF-P> Line Feed with Parity bit - Decimal 138
<ETX-P> End of Text with Parity Decimal 131
Both Transmitters and receivers can be set to TEST MODE to verify both units can see each other.

Compatibility:
The XTP Module is compatible with the prior versions XT100/XT200/XT300/XT400 so long as they are on the same
ID with the exception that ID #s 6-11 will not communicate. IDs 0-5 and 12-15 are compatible and should be used
whenever intermixing modules.
