3.3.6 Loading Configuration Files and Databases
Certain files may take extended periods of time to load directly from a PC to the 920i. A flash drive is recommended for fast
loading times.
When using multiple 920i units, it is recommended to create a folder matching each ones unit ID number. When loading
configuration files, the unit will loadthe file contained in a folder matching its UID# (the default UID# is 1). If a folder matching
the UID is not found, the unitwill load the first file found.
If loading a configuration file from a UID subdirectory, ensure the configuration file does not change the unit ID.
Otherwise, a .COD file in that subdirectory will not be recognized until the UID is manually reverted to its
original number.
File names are limited to eight characters.
1. Using a PC, copy the desired configuration file to the flash drive.
2. Insert the flash drive to the 920i’sType-A USB connector.
3. Press the USB softkey.
4. Select Drive and press Enter.
5. Place the indicator in setup mode and navigate to the SERIAL » PORT2 menu.

3.3.7 Loading Database Files
File names are limited to eight characters. If loading a database file, beaware theindicator uses the alias name and a
.db file extension when saving database files.
1. Using a PC, copy the desired database file to the flash drive.
2. Insert the USB flash drive into the 920i’s Type-A USB connector.
3. Press the USB softkey.
4. Select Drive and press Enter.

5. Select Load All Databases (*.db) and press Enter.
3.4 Saving Configuration Files and Databases
Certain files may take extended periods of time to save directly from a PC to the 920i. For fastest save times, using a flashdrive
is recommended. When saving a configuration file, the indicator will attempt to save to a folder matching its UID number (the
default UID# is 1). If a folder is not found, the file will be saved to the drives root directory and overwrite any
existing files matching its UID# followed by the .920 file extension i.e., 1.920i.
When the 920i AC/DC Indicator saves a database, it will use the alias name and a .db file extension.
1. Insert the flash drive into the 920i’sType-A USB port.
2. With the indicator in weigh mode, press the USB softkey.
If the USB softkey is not displayed, see Section 3.3.2 on page 11 and Section 1.1.2 on page 3.
3. Select Save Configuration or Save All Databases (*.db) and press Enter.

4.0 Front Panel Calibration
Figure 4-1. WZERO Calibration Display
The CALIBR sub-menu (under the SCALES menu) is used to calibrate the 920i AC/DC Indicator. The zero, span and linear
calibration point displaysprovide a set of softkeys used specifically for calibration procedures.
Sub-menu
Softkeys Description
+/– Toggle this key to allow entry of negative or positive values.
Last Zero This recalls the last established zero value to allow calibration without removing test weights or product from scale.
Calibrate This key performs a calibration for the selected point.
Temp Zero Thiskey temporarily zerosthe displayedweightof a non-empty scale.After a span calibration,the difference betweenthe
temp zero and the previously calibrated zero value is used as an offset.
Millivolts 
(or Counts)This key toggles between the display of captured A/D counts and captured millivolts values and allows entry of calibration values in mV or counts.
Use the following steps to calibrate the 920i using the front panel.
1. Place the indicator insetup mode. The display readsScale Configuration.
2. Remove all weight from the scale.
3. With the SCALES menu highlighted, press the Down key.
4. Select the scale to be calibrated.
5. Press Down again in order to highlight the GRADS parameter.
6. Press Left to highlight the CALIBR sub-menu.
7. Press Down to go to zero calibration (WZERO).
8. Ensure the scale is empty, then press down again to show the current WZERO value.
9. Press the Calibrate softkey to calibrate zero. When complete, the new A/D count for the zero calibration is displayed.
10. Press Enter to save the zero calibration value and go to the next prompt (WVAL).
11. With WVAL displayed, press Down to show the stored calibration weight value.
12. Use the numeric keypad to enter the actual value of the calibration test weights.
13. Press Enter to save the value and go to span calibration (WSPAN).
14. Place test weights on the scale.
15. Press Down again to show the current WSPAN value.
16. Press the Calibrate softkey to calibrate span. When complete, the new A/D count for the span calibration is displayed.
17. Press Enter again to save the span calibration value and go to the next prompt (WLIN).
18. Press Up to return to the SCALES menu, or press the Save and Exit softkey to exit setup mode.
