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 (12VDC to
24VDC) 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 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.

2.Safety
2.1. Operating Environment
•Operating Temperature: –10 to 50°C
•Humidity: <90% non-condensing
•Operating Voltage: Shown on Rear Label
2.2. Electrical Safety
•For your protection all mains electrical hardware must be
rated to the environmental conditions of use.
•Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily
accessible power socket outlet.
•To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the
instrument, always switch off or isolate the instrument
from the power supply before maintenance is carried out.
2.3. Cleaning
•To maintain the instrument, never use harsh abrasive
cleaners or solvents. Wipe the instrument with a soft
cloth slightly dampened with warm soapy water.

3.6. Stability Considerations
Some functions (E.g. Tare and Zero) require a stable
weight. These functions will wait for up to 10 seconds
for stable weight.
3.7. Security
All keyboard functions can be locked in setup. The
locking options are:
•Disabled
•Operator Passcode required
•Safe Setup Passcode required
•Enabled
Operator Passcodes only need to be entered once.
The system can be locked using the Lock key.
