Q uick Setup Procedure
Placing weight on the scale can be advantageous in shifting
the weight into the correct position. Wire up the display
according to Section 2. C onfigure the transmitting device to
output continuously. Press and release the RE SE T button on
the display. While the display is counting down from 9 to 0
hold the LE A R N button. At the end of countdown the
display will flash a baud rate such as 1200, and then will
display the beginning of the data stream. Shift the stream
left using the LE F T button 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, C urrent Loop or RS 422. (To transmit RS 422 remove
the 8 pin DS 75176 in socket U5 and place it in U8)
The echo feature transmits every other data stream unless
option 4 is enabled. See Section 5 for more details.

JUMP

The green LED will be illuminated when the following four
requirements are satisfied:
1. The display is powered on.
2. The indicator’ s port is enabled to transmit continuously.
3. The jumper is in the correct position.
4. The wires are connected to the terminal block as
described    previously.
The display will learn to the transmitting device when the
LE A R N button is pressed at the end of startup. It will display
the baud rate and then display the first six characters in the
data stream. Pressing the LE FT button will move the
displayed stream to the left until the desired data can be
seen on the Remote.

Changing Intensity
To change the display’ s intensity press and release the RE SE T
button then hold the RIG HT button during countdown. At the
end of countdown the R IG H T button will toggle between
displaying “ high” and “ low” (on 7 segment displays “ lo” is
displayed). Select the desired intensity and press LE A R N to
save changes. Factory default is “ low” .

O ption Summary
To enter into the options hold the LE F T button during power
up. At the end of the countdown the display will display
" O PTIO N " . O nce in options, LE F T will cycle through the
option numbers 0 through 20. The R IG H T button will toggle
between O n/O ff for some options and will enter into an
advanced menu for more complicated options. See specific
options in Section V for more advanced option descriptions.
Pressing LE A R N at any time will save the settings and reset
the display. Pressing both LE FT and R IG H T during power up
acts the same as O ption 0 and will restore the display to
factory defaults.

O ption Details
O ption 0 Restore Factory Defaults
O ption 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.
O ption 1 Future O p
O ption 1 is reserved for a future option.
O ption 2 Toledo
O ption 2 is used to decode Toledo Style data streams. It
decodes Status Bytes A and B to determine if the weight is
negative or positive, in range or over capacity, and placement of

O ption Details continued
O ption 3 Timeout Length
O ption 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/O ff) 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 O ption 5 is set. The maximum timeout
allowed to be set is 255 seconds. While in setup for the time
out option LE FT decrements the value and R IG HT increments.
O ption 4 Display on Demand
O ption 4 sets the display for O n 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 O n 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.
O ption 5 N o Data
O ption 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
O ption 3. RIG H T toggles between the three choices, " N oData" ,
" Clear" , and " Hold" .
