2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking
Unpack the following items:
• Indicator
• Base
• AC Adapter
• Terminal mount kit
• Instruction Manual
2.2 External Connections
2.2.1 Scale Base to Indicator
Connect the load cell cable to the indicator as shown below:
Note: To connect Catapult 5000 to other bases, an optional loadcell connector (PN:30101021) needs to be
purchased and soldered as shown above.
2.2.2 AC Power to Indicator
Connect the AC Adapter to the power receptacle, then plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet.
2.2.3 Battery Power (optional)
The indicator can be operated on an internal rechargeable battery (purchased separately, see section 7.2)
when AC power is not available. The indicator will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power
failure or the power cord is removed.
Attention:
Before using the indicator for the first time, the internal rechargeable battery should be
fully charged for up to 12 hours. The indicator can be operated during the charging
process. The battery is protected against overcharging and the indicator can remain
connected to the AC power line.
Connect AC power to the indicator and allow it to charge. While the battery is charging, the triangle above the
battery function symbol will light. When the battery is fully charged, this triangle will disappear.
The indicator can operate for up to 80 hours on a fully charged battery.
During battery operation, a flashing triangle above the battery function symbol indicates the battery is low and
requires recharging. Approximately 30 minutes of operation will remain when the battery symbol starts to
blink. The indicator will display Lo.BAT and automatically turn off when the battery is fully discharged.

2.3 Internal Connections
Some connections require the housing to be opened.
2.3.1 Opening the Housing
CAUTION: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. REMOVE ALL POWER CONNECTIONS TO THE
INDICATOR BEFORE SERVICING OR MAKING INTERNAL CONNECTIONS. THE HOUSING
SHOULD ONLY BE OPENED BY AUTHORIZED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, SUCH AS AN
ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN.
Remove the four Phillips head screws from the rear housing.
Open the housing being careful not to disturb the internal connections.
Once all connections are made, reattach the front housing.
2.3.2 Jumper Connections
For a 4-wire load cell with no sense wires: Jumpers W1 and W2 must be shorted.
For a 6-wire load cell that includes sense wires, Jumpers W1 and W2 must be opened.
Note: 6-wire load cell setting is default.

3.2 Menu Navigation
TO ENTER THE MENU MODE
Press and hold the Menu button until MENU appears on the display. The first upper level menu appears on
the display.
Summary of button navigation functions in menu mode:
--Yes
Allows entry into the displayed menu.
- Accepts the displayed setting and advances to the next menu item.
--No
Skips by the displayed menu.
- Rejects the displayed setting or menu item and advances to the next available item.
--Back
Moves backwards through the upper and middle level menus.
- Backs out of a list of selectable items to the previous middle level menu.
--Exit
Exits from menu directly to the active weighing mode.
3.3 Calibration Menu
Three calibration processes are available: Zero Calibration, Span Calibration and Linearity Calibration.
NOTES:
1. Make sure that appropriate calibration masses are available
before beginning calibration.
2. Make sure that the scale base is level and stable during the
entire calibration process.
3. Calibration is unavailable with LFT set to On.
4. Allow the Indicator to warm up for approximately 5 minutes
after stabilizing to room temperature.
5. To abort calibration, press the Exit button anytime during the
calibration process.
6. Make sure to finish Zero Calibration before performing Span
Calibration to ensure weighing accuracy.
3.3.1 Zero Calibration
Zero Calibration uses one point. The calibration point is established with no load on the scale. Use this
calibration method to adjust for a different pre-load without affecting the span or linearity calibration.
When [CAL] is displayed, press the YES key to accept the Calibration sub-menu selection.
(Pressing the NO key to advance to the next sub-menu, [SEtUP].)
When [ZErO] is displayed, press the YES key to accept the Zero Calibration menu item
selection.
The display flashes [0] and the kg led is light.
Press the Yes key to establish the zero point.
Note: The new zero point must be within the range of the normalized weight.
The display shows [--C--] while the zero point is established.
If zero calibration was successful, the scale exits to the next Calibration menu and displays

CATAPULT 5000 SERIES SCALES EN-11
3.3.2 Span Calibration
Span Calibration uses one point. The span point is established with a calibration mass
placed on the scale.
When SPAN is displayed, press the Yes button to access the Span Calibration menu
item.
The display flashes the span calibration point. Place the specified weight on the scale
and press the Yes button.
To choose a different span point, repeatedly press the No button to increment the
selections or press the Back button to decrement the selections. Refer to Table 3-3 for
available span points. When the desired value is displayed, place the specified weight on
the scale and press the Yes button.
The display shows --C-- while the span point is established.
If span calibration was successful, the scale exits to the next Calibration menu and
displays [LINEAr]
Note: Span Calibration should be performed after Zero Calibration.
3.3.3 Linearity Calibration
Linearity calibration uses 3 calibration points. The first calibration point is established
with no weight on the scale. The second calibration point is established at approximately
half capacity. The third calibration point is established at capacity. The Linearity
calibration points are fixed and cannot be altered by the user during the calibration
procedure. Refer to Table 3-3 for the linearity points.
When LINEAr is displayed, press the Yes button to access the Linearity Calibration
menu item.
The display flashes 0. With no weight on the scale, press the Yes button to establish the
zero point.
The display shows --C-- while the zero point is established.
The display flashes the mid calibration point.
Place the specified weight on the scale and press the Yes button.
The display shows --C-- while the mid point is established.
The display flashes the full calibration point.
Place the specified weight on the scale and press the Yes button.
The display shows --C-- while the full point is established.
If linearity calibration was successful, the scale exits to the next Calibration
menu and displays [GEO].

EN-12 CATAPULT 5000 SERIES SCALES
3.3.4 Geographical Adjustment Factor
The Geographical Adjustment Factor (GEO) is used to compensate for variations in
gravity.
Attention: Changing the GEO Factor alters the calibration. The GEO value was set at
the factory and should only be changed by an authorized manufacturer’s representative
or certified verification personnel.
Refer to table 3-2 to determine the GEO factor that corresponds to your location.
3.3.5 End Calibration
