1.3 Operating Modes
The three modes of operation for the 880 are described in the following sections.
1.3.1 Weigh Mode
In this mode, the indicator displays gross or net weights to indicate the type of weight value displayed and annunciators to
indicate scale status.
1.3.2 Configuration Mode
Many of the procedures described in this manual, require the indicator to be in configuration mode, see Section 3.0 on page 35.
The 880 has an Audit Trail that tracks changes to configuration and calibration, allowing the setup switch to be bypassed with
Jumper J4 on the CPU board. If Audit Trail is enabled, configuration mode can be accessed through the user setup mode.
1.3.3 User Setup Mode
User setup mode, accessed by pressing , allows the following configuration steps:
• View the audit trail
• Set time and date
• View or clear accumulator value
• Change setpoint values
• View current tare value
• Enter configuration mode (if audit trail is enabled)
See Section 1.6.8 on page 8 for more information about entering user setup mode.

1.4 Front Panel Display
The front panel consists of a six-button keypad and a six-digit, 14-segment LED display. The Universal front panel includes a
numeric key pad.
The numeric display consists of six 14-segment LED digits. If a negative number is displayed, the first digit is used to display -,
reducing the number of available digits to five.
The symbols on the keys in Figure 1-1 (representing up, down, enter, left, right) describe the key functions when in
configuration mode. The keys are used to navigate through menus, select digits within numeric values, and increment/
decrement values, see Section 3.2 on page 36 for information about using the front panel keys in configuration mode.

1 Sets the current gross weight to zero; used to navigate to other menus or to select another digit when editing a value
2 Sends an on-demand print format to a communications port, provided the conditions for standstill are met; if enabled in configuration,
Print may displayed while the unit is printing; used to navigate to other menus or select another digit when editing a value
3 Performs several predetermined tare functions dependent on the mode of operation selected in the TAREFN; acts as enter for numeric or
parameter entry
4 Toggles displayed weight between gross and net mode; if a tare value has been entered or acquired, the net value is the gross weight
minus the tare; gross mode is indicated by the Gross/Brutto annunciator; net mode is indicated by the Net annunciator; used to navigate
to different menus or to select another digit when editing a value
5 Allows access to the user setup menu; also acts as the cancel key when editing parameter values, or Exit key when in the configuration
or user setup menus
6 Switches the weight display to an alternate unit, defined in the format menu, see Section 3.2.4 on page 40; units available: lb, kg, oz,
metric ton, ton, gram; used to navigate to different menus or to select another digit when editing a value
7 Clears a numeric entry from the LCD (not available with the panel mount)
8 Inserts a decimal point where necessary (not available with the panel mount)

To select a parameter, press or to scroll left or right until the desired menu group appears on the display,
then press to move down to the sub-menu or parameter to be edited. When moving through the menu parameters,
the current selected value appears first on the display.
12 Indicates that the current gross weight reading is within ±0.25 display divisions of the acquired zero, or is within the center of zero band;
a display division is the resolution of the displayed weight value, or the smallest incremental increase or decrease that can be displayed
or printed
13 Gross weight mode (or Brutto in OIML mode)
14 Net weight mode
lb/kg LED – the lb and kg annunciators indicate the units associated with the displayed value. If the displayed value is pounds, lb will be
lit. If the displayed value is kilograms, kg will be lit;
primary or secondary – if the other units value is neither lb or kg, then lb will be lit for the units assigned as primary, and kg will be lit for
the units assigned as secondary;
lb/tn, t, oz, g, or none – alternate conversions that can be displayed include short tons (tn), metric tons (t), ounces (oz), grams (g), or
NONE (no units); if the displayed units is one of these alternate conversions, and the other unit value is lb, then kg will be lit;
tn, t, oz, g, or none – alternate conversions that can be displayed include short tons (tn), metric tons (t), ounces (oz), grams (g), or NONE
(no units); if the displayed units is one of these alternate conversions, and the other unit value is kg, then lb will be lit
16 T LED – indicates that a tare has been acquired and stored by the system;

enter the digits. The decimal point will begin flashing if a decimal value is allowed. Use the navigation keys, to move the decimal
point left or right. Press when done.
1.5.3 Alphanumeric Entry Procedure
Use the following scheme for alphanumeric entry when using the five-button keypad.
Figure 1-3. Editing Procedure for Numeric Values
1.5.4 Numeric Values Editing Procedure (880Plus Only)
When using the numeric keypad option, the method for editing numeric values relies on the numbers which are embossed on
the keypad (as opposed to using the arrows).

2.0 Installation
This section describes procedures for connecting power, load cells, digital I/O and data communications cables to the 880
indicator. Instructions for replacement of the circuit boards are included, along with assembly drawings and parts lists for the
service technician.
Use anti-static protection for grounding and to protect components from electrostatic discharge
(ESD) when working inside the indicator enclosure.
Procedures requiring work inside the indicator must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
The supply cord serves as the power disconnect for the 880. Ensure the power cord is unplugged prior to opening the enclosure.
2.1 Unpacking and Assembly
Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the 880 to ensure all components are included and undamaged. The shipping
carton should contain the controller, display, CD, parts kit, see Table 2-10 on page 32 and manuals. If any parts were damaged
in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.
2.2 Panel Mount Installation
The controller can be mounted to the display DIN rail or mounted remotely up to 250 ft away from display.
Figure 2-1. 880 Panel Mount Dimensions
Use the DIN rail mount plate as a template, see Figure 2-2 on page 13, to drill the mounting holes in the panel for the stainless
