The corresponding green LED will blink when the following three requirements
are satisfied.
1. The display is powered on.
2. The indicator’s port is enabled to transmit continuously.
3. The wires are connected to the terminal block as previously described.
The display will learn "automatically configure" to the transmitting device when the
LEARN button is pressed at the end of startup. It will display the BAUD rate and then
display the weight. Pressing LEFT or RIGHT will move the displayed stream
accordingly until the desired data can be seen on the display.

Section 3:
Quick Setup Procedures
If possible place a weight on the scale. Wire up the display according to Section 2 and
configure the transmitting device to output continuously. Press and release the
RESET button on the display. While the display is counting down from 9 to 0 hold the
LEARN button. At the end of countdown the display will flash "LEARN" then the
BAUD rate such as 1200 and then the weight. Shift the data using the LEFT and
RIGHT buttons until the desired weight is in view.

The SBL Series has an echo feature which will take the received data stream and echo
it out to further displays via RS 232, Current Loop or RS 422.
(To transmit RS 422 remove the 8 pin SP485 in socket U5 and place it in U8)
The echo feature transmits every other data stream unless option 4 is enabled.
See Section 6 for more details.

Section 4:
Changing Intensity
To change the display’s intensity:
Press and release the RESET button
Hold the RIGHT button during countdown
At the end of countdown the RIGHT button will toggle between
displaying “high” and “low”
(on 7 segment displays “lo” is displayed)
Select the desired intensity and press LEARN to save changes
Factory default is “low”
*Intensity may also be adjsuted using Option 27 (See
Sections 5/6)

7
To enter into the options hold the LEFT button during power up. At the end of the
countdown the display will display "OPTION". Once in options, LEFT will cycle
through the option numbers. The RIGHT button will toggle between On/Off for some
options and will enter into an advanced menu for more complicated options. See
specific options in Section 6 for more advanced option descriptions. Pressing LEARN
at any time will save the settings and reset the display. To restore to factory default,
press both the LEFT and RIGHT button simultaneously during countdown.

0: Restore Factory Defaults
Option 0 resets the display to factory default. It erases all data stored in non-volatile RAM
including shift amount, baud rate, end character, and sets all options to off.
1: Version
Option 1 displays the software version of the display. The unit will display the month, followed
by the year. This option is only used for trouble shooting purposes.
2: Toledo
When Option 2 is set to 1 or 3 the unit will decode standard Toledo Style Data Stream. When
Option 2 is set to 2 or 4 the unit will decode extended Toledo Format Stream. Settings 1 and
2 will set annunciators for the SBL-4A and SBL-6A, while settings 3 and 4 will decode LB/KG
GR/NT for standard Matko units with annunciator dots.
3: Timeout Length
Option 3 is used to set the timeout length. The timeout length is the maximum amount of time
expected between data streams before communication is considered interrupted. The default
(0/Off) acts as a 5 second timeout, all other values represent the number of seconds the
display will wait for a new data stream. The display will then do one of three things after the
timeout depending on how Option 5 is set. The maximum timeout allowed to be set is 255
seconds. While in setup for the time out option LEFT decrements the value and RIGHT
increments.
4: Display on Demand
Option 4 sets the display for On Demand mode. It is recommended to be turned on when
connected to the print button of an indicator or when data is only sent once every 2 or more
seconds. While in On Demand mode the display will wait for and display every data stream.
While in the default (off) the display uses every other data stream to ensure data integrity.

Section 6: Option Details
5: No Data
Option 5 sets the display to do one of three things after a data stream time out. The default is
to display "NoData". The other two options are "Clear" (blank the display) and "Hold" (keep
the last weight sent). The time out length can be specified with Option 3. RIGHT toggles
between the three choices, "NoData", "Clear", and "Hold"
6: Fixed Decimal Point
Option 6 will set the display to illuminate a decimal point when it is not present in the data
stream. Default (off) will show a decimal point only where it is located in the data stream. All
other values represent the digit to attach a decimal point to, starting from right to left.

0 Default
1 ######
2 #####.#
3 ####.##
4 ###.###
5 ##.####
6 #.#####
7: No Count Down
Option 7 will disable the display from counting down from 9 to 0 when powered up.
8: No Zero Suppression
Option 8 will disable the display’s ability to suppress leading "0"s with spaces. The default
(off) will display a space for all leading "0"s up to the final two in the 1s and 10s column or up
to a "0" immediately in front of a decimal point. For example when the option is off the stream
"000000" will become " 00" and the stream "0000.00" will become " 0.00".
9: Display Alpha Characters
Option 9 will enable the unit to display both alpha and numeric characters. The default (off)
will replace all non-numerics with spaces. A 7 segment display is limited by the alpha
characters it can display. For example it can not display characters such as "x", "q", "k", "!" or
"?".

10
Section 6: Option Details
10: Mirror
Option 10 enables a display to be read in a rear view mirror. The default (off) is for
direct viewing.
11:
Addressable
Option 11 will set the display to be addressable. The display will ignore any characters
until the addressable character is received, then display the data immediately following
it. The addressable character can be set to any character from 1 to 255. The number
selected represents the decimal equivalent of the desired character. For example if an
"A" is at the beginning of the data stream then you would set the address to 65. LEFT
decrements the character value and RIGHT increments the character value. See
Section 9 for ASCII character values. If the indicator is sending 7 data bits even or odd
parity then the parity bit may change the decimal value of the character by adding 128
to it. We recommend setting the indicator to 8 data bits no parity for convenience.
Default (off) uses standard data stream.
12:
No Auto Shift
Option 12 will cause the scoreboard to display the first 6 characters of the data stream
when it is learned. When this option is off the scoreboard will attempt to shift the
weight into view when learned.
13:
Fixed Value
Option 13 is used to set or view the shift amount. LEFT decrements the value and
RIGHT increments the value. Has the same effect as shifting Left and Right during
normal operation
14:
Baud Rate
Option 14 is used to set or view the Baud Rate. RIGHT will cycle through the options.
0/Off indicates the unit has not been set, 1 = 300, 2=600, 3=1200, 4=2400, 5=4800,
6=9600 and 7=19200.
15:
End Character
Option 15 is used to set or view the end character. When in learn mode the unit will
look for an end of text(ETX), line feed(LF) and a carriage return(CR), which have
decimal values of 3, 10, and 13 respectively. Any character may be manually selected
through this option by setting it to the desired decimal equivalent of the desired
character. LEFT decrements the character value and RIGHT increments the
character value. See Section 9 for ASCII character values. If the indicator is sending
7 data bits even or odd parity then the parity may change the decimal value of the
character by adding 128 to it. We recommend setting the indicator to 8 data bits no
parity for convenience.
