1. Introduction
This instrument is a precision digital indicator designed for gain in weight batching
applications. It supports up to 32 input/outputs.
It may be operated from either a DC power source (12 VDC to 24 VDC) or AC power
(optional 110 – 240 VAC). There is a soft power on/off function that retains memory of its
state. Once an instrument is turned on it will automatically start up again if the external
power is interrupted.
The instrument provides zero, tare and recipe on the fixed function keys and supports
special functions (e.g. start, pause, remote key etc.), via three (3) user definable function
keys and external inputs. Operator functions (clock, view, report etc) and editing functions
are provided on the alpha/numeric key pad. It is equipped with an NVRAM store to ensure
day-to-day operating settings (e.g. zero, tare and clock) are retained when power is
removed.
The indicator supports optical communications as a standard which allows a temporary
isolated communications link to be established with a PC. Software upgrades, the use of
computerised setup and calibration can then be done using a PC. The RS-232
communications port can be used for printer driving, connection to a remote display or PC.
The RS-485 transmit only communications port can be used for remote displays. There is
a built-in clock for date-stamping printed outputs.
