4. Device installation
The device should be mounted on a flat surface, with the wires facing down. Only the correct installation of the
device ensures its proper operation and the maintenance of the device parameters, such as housing tightness to
the declared IP class.
NOTICE!
Before any installation or maintenance operations, refer to the manual supplied by the manufacturer. Improper
connection to the mains power supply, incautious device installation, or improper use may cause property
damage, loss of health or death from an electric shock! In addition, failure to comply with the manufacturer's
instructions may void the warranty.
NOTICE!
It is forbidden to make any additional mounting points or any holes in the device components.
4.1 RM-470 application
RM-470 is designed to display measurement results transmitted by weighing terminals. The displays operate in
the automatic mode by default (see 4.2 "Autolearn”) and, in typical cases, they do not require prior
configuration. In special situations, it may be necessary to adjust the settings using RGB WagSet 2 software or
the Web-panel or through the user menu embedded in the device.
4.2 "Autolearn” function
The “Autolearn”mode is enabled by default (position #0 is set in the "proto" submenu). To disable it, the
communication protocol should be selected manually using the embedded user menu or RGB WagSet 2
software or the Web-panel. When this mode is active, at each start-up, the device detects the parameters of
communication with the weighing terminal and analyses the structure of the data frames which are sent to it. It
then adjusts its settings to allow proper communication with the terminal. The whole operation lasts a few
seconds, depending on the baud rate and time intervals between the consecutive frames. All communication
interfaces are supported, i.e. RS-232, RS-485/RS-422, 0/20mA digital current loop and the Ethernet.
The "Autolearn" procedure steps and their signalling are as follows:
1. Baud rate detection - dot 1 is flashing on the display,
2. Baud rate verification - dot 1 is solid, dot 2 is flashing,
3. Analysis of the protocol and its frame structure - dots 1 and 2 are solid, dot 3 is flashing.
During the analysis of the protocol and its frame structure, the measurement unit is also recognised, if sent by
indicator. The following tags are recognised - "kg" 'k' 'K' "tn" "TN" " t" 'T' 't' "LB" "lb" 'L' 'l' "OZ" "oz" 'o' 'O'. In
case the indicator does not send units or sends units that are not recognised by the “Autolearn”function, the
default unit will be set. Depending on the purchased regional version, it is "kg" or "lb".

DTR_314-05-01-001_EN_a 5
The “Autolearn”function also detects gross/net measurements if the following markers are sent in the frame:
- for the Net measurement: 'n' and 'N' from the ASCII table,
- for the Gross measurement: 'g' and 'G' from the ASCII table.
In this case, the marker position will also be saved. If, during the operation of the device, the transmitted
measurement marker changes, e.g. from "n" to "g", the indicator will change accordingly.
The “Autolearn”function supports the following transmission parameters:
Baud rate:
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
Transmission parameters (data bits, parity, stop
bits): 8N1, 7E1, 7O1
8N1, 7E1, 7O1

4.3 RM-470 manual configuration (Communication protocol selection)
4.3.1 Embedded user menu (microswitch)
The user menu embedded in the device allows to select the communication protocol, display the information
about the software version, reset to the default settings. The "B1" microswitch, used to operate the menu,
is located inside the display, and is accessible after unscrewing two screws M4x10 (Fig. 3, det. A) and after
pulling out the drawer as indicated by the black arrow. The microswitch is located on the controller board as
illustrated below (Fig. 3, det. B). There is no need to open the external covers.
det. A –Screw M4x10; det. B –microswitch
Fig. 3
The user menu is called up by pressing and holding down the "B1" microswitch and releasing it
when the desired option is displayed. Regardless the option, you can exit the user menu by pressing the
microbutton and releasing it when switching between the options (while switching between the options, the
display is not displaying any information)
The user menu has the following options:
1) info - This option allows you to display the software version. For displays with the Ethernet interface,
network layer settings are also provided (IP address, network mask, communication port for RGB WagSet 2
software and communication port for the weighing indicator). Exiting the "info" submenu happens
automatically after displaying the information.

6 DTR_314-05-01-001_EN_a
2) proto - This option enables the selection of the communication protocol saved in the display memory,
which enables cooperation with the selected weighing indicator. The protocol is changed by pressing the
microbutton. Saving the selected protocol is accomplished by long holding down the microbutton (until the
message "Saved" appears). Exiting the "proto" submenu comes after 30 seconds of the user inactivity.
3) custm –The "custm" option allows you to select the dedicated communication protocol to work with the
weighing indicators of selected clients. The protocols have special custom settings required by the given
client. Setting the protocol is done in the same way as in the case of the "proto" option - saving the
selected protocol is accomplished by long holding down the microbutton (until the message "Saved"
appears), while exiting the "custm" submenu comes automatically after 30 seconds of the user inactivity.
4) reset - This option allows you to reset the default remote display protocol and to activate the “Autolearn”
mode. In addition, in the devices with the Ethernet interface, you can restore the default network layer
settings (IP address: 192.168.0.11, network mask: 255.255.255.0, communication port for RGB WagSet 2
software: 2101 and communication port for the weighing terminal: 2102). To restore the default settings
you should, during the normal operation of the device, press the microbutton and hold it down until the
message "reset" appears. Hold the button down until the message "reset" starts blinking and do not
release it until the message "default" is displayed. Releasing the button before the message "default"
appears will result in interrupting the process of restoring the default settings and the display will continue
working according to the previously programmed parameters. Defining new network settings is possible
through the embedded Web-panel or by using RGB WagSet 2 software available at www.kazel-
displays.com.

8. Initial start-up
Step 1: Make sure that all cables are properly connected,
Step 2: Make sure that all components have been installed in the correct orientation,
Step 3: Connect the device to the mains power supply,
Step 4: The properly connected display will show moving arrows (> >> >>>), followed by a hard space symbol (_)
in the bottom right corner. It means that the user has 7 seconds to send the configuration to the remote
display. If no configuration is sent to the device, it will launch the "Autolearn" process.
9. Disposal and recycling
9.1 Packaging material recycling
The packaging elements must be segregated and recycled in accordance with the local waste disposal
regulations.
9.2 Device disposal
The device must not be disposed of with normal municipal waste! In accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU
(WEEE), the user is obliged to deliver the damaged or destroyed device to the appropriate disposal facility if
there is no economically justified repair possibility.
10.Most common installation errors
1. Invalid configuration uploaded to the remote display.
2. Drilling additional mounting holes in the display's housing.
