POWER SUPPLY & START UP
The IPB50 is normally charged with a 12 to 25 Vdc ( 7W max.) tension supplied from an AC/DC external
charger(supplied) whichshould beconnected tothe230Vacmainsvoltage.Safety normsmust berespected
for the connection to the main voltageincludingtheuseofaline, whichhastobefreefromnoisegeneratedby
other electronic equipment.
Do not connect other devices to the same outlet.
Don not step or squash the mains cable.
The instrument will first show a random number, then the code –X-Y.ZZ;where Xindicates thekeyboardtype.
X=0 means 4 key keyboard and Y.ZZ indicates the installed software version. Then, capacity and minimum
division are shown. The instrument will perform an auto-test and warm up routine.
After few seconds the instrument will indicate ZERO, if the platform has been correctly installed and
connected, and everything is ready to start a weigh procedure.
Possible messages :

2If turned off, indicates that the weight is stable and can be obtained.
3If turned on, indicates that the weight detected by the weighing system is close zero, within ±¼ of the division.
4If turned on, indicates the unit of measure in use (kg).
5If turned on, indicates the unit of measure in use (lb) or setpoint 1 is on.
6If turned on, indicates the functional status of the instrument: peak, hold and piece counting operations or setpoint
2 is on.
Performs an automatic ZERO when the signalled weight is within (+/-2%) of the total capacity. LEDà0ßis on
Cancels a negative tare value resulting from a previous tare with the load now removed.
The displayed value of the weight present on the scale is stored as TARE and the display shows zero. NET LED turns on
Enables the operating Fn that was selected previously in the USER SET-UP function. By pressing it for several seconds, it is
possible to immediately select a different operating Fn.

IPB50 BASIC FUNCTIONS
SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE
By pressing the TARE key any weight value present on the display is zeroed, the “NET” LED will nowturnon.
To cancel the stored tare value, press TARE or ZERO without load. Each subsequent pressing of TARE will
replace the previously stored value.
NOTE: The tare operations are disabled in the SETPOINT ON GROSS WEIGHT functioning Fn.
PRINTING
If a printer is connected to either instrument, by pressing the PRINT key, GROSS, TARE and NET weight will
be printed. If no manual TARE was entered only the gross weight will be printed.
The print can be executed only with a weight stable and different from zero.
It is possible to select the language of the printouts .
Besides the described printouts, each single Fn can execute specific print (refer to FUNCTIONING).
TICKET NUMBER
In the printout it is possible to include the TICKET NO. (USER SET-UPparameterntlk),aprogressivenumber
which increases every time the ↵/PRINT key is pushed; it may be any number between 1 and 65535 which is
kept in memory even when the instrument is turned off.
To zero the TICKET NO. one must go to the “ntlk” parameter in USER SET-UP and select rEStl and push ↵.
The TICKET NO. is printed before the date/hour, and may be used in all functioning Fns and in the totalizer Fn
it increases only with the resetting of the total.
PRINT OF HEADING
In order to enter the heading one needs the IPBC TOOL software; this allows to control through the PC the
configurations of the IPB50 (using an optional connection cable with the bidirectional serial port). The
programmescreenissubdividedintometrologicalparameters,nonmetrologicalparameters,userSETUP,and
heading. Following the instructions of this manual, it is possible to enter up to 4 lines of heading, each of 24
characters with a variable height (height 1 or height 2).
Within the user SETUP of the instrument, if one selects PrON or PrES, the following step displayed is “IntES”:
at this point, by confirming with ↵, it is possible to select:
Int SI Prints the heading if the total is 0 (in the totalization programme)
Int F1 Always prints the heading
Int nO Does not print the heading

SELECTABLE OPERATING
In addition to the STANDARD weighing Fn, with the basic abilities of TARE deduction and transmission of data
(to printer, PC, or remote unit), the IPB50 series indicators can perform one of the following selectable
functions: SIMPLE DISPLAY, HOLD, PEAK, ACCUMULATION TOTALIZER, BATCHING TOTALIZER, PIECE
COUNTING, STANDARD, NET/GROSS, GROSS WEIGHT SET POINT, NET WEIGHT SET POINT.
The user can select these operating. Refer to “USER SET-UP”.
UISS (the tare value is lost when the IPB is switched off)
Press the key ->T<-to display the net Value 0 (led NET is turned ON)
HOLD (HLd)
Operating Fn similar to standard Fn, but when Fn is pressed, the value of theweightisheldonthedisplay,the
"Hold" LED turns on, and the display shows HoLd alternately with the weight held value (every 5 sec). To
release the weight value on the display, press Fn key again.
PEAK (PlC)
Operating Fn similar to standard Fn, but when Fn is pressed, the value of the maximum measured weight is
held on the display, the "PIC" LED is on, and the display shows “-PlC-“(PEAK)alternatingwiththeheldweight
value (every 5 sec). This feature is well suited for “break load” testing. Press Fn to enable the peak capturing
function: the "PEAK" LED will turn on and the display will show the maximum detected weight, alternated with
the writing PIC. To stop the test and return to standard operation press Fn key again. The weight value will
be the maximum, before a fast decrease of the weight (i.e. measurement of the breaking strength). It's
possible to set up the minimum time of the detectable weight peak. To program this threshold time, press the
↵key for 5 sec. “-tP-“ will appear on the display and a number corresponding to the minimum peak time in
0.01 seconds units. By pressing the ->T<-key the user can scroll time values 2, 5, 10, 20, 50,100, and 200.
Press ↵in order to confirm the selected value. The normal used value is 2 (fastest capture).
Nota : Select the value of the filter (Mode) at LO-1
ACCUMULATION TOTALIZER (tot 0)
In this operating, it is possible to sum sequential weighments. When Fn is pressed, the displayed weight
accumulates into a total weight in the indicator’s memory. In order to avoid repeating a particular weighments
the Fn key activates only according to the “rIAt” parameter setting in the USER SETUP (determined by zero
weight or instability).. If a printer is connected, the Fn key commands the printing of the weight value. After
initiating a Horizontal Totalizer, pressing Fn also allows the user to temporarily view the number of weighments
and the accumulated TOTAL weight at the moment (SUbtotal). If the length of the numeric value (of the
accumulated total weight) is more than 5 digits the displayed weight value will occur in two steps.
To cancel the accumulated TOTAL press ↵: If a printer is connected, before zeroing, the total NET weight (or
subtotal) is printed along with the number of weighments. When the display shows "ZERO", the Fn key is not
enabled for totalization, only the accumulated total is displayed.
BATCH TOTALIZER (tot S)
This Fn prepares a sum for “recipe-batching.” Similar to the previous accumulation totalizer, this totalizer
proceedsbyallowingtheweighttoaccumulateon thescalewithoutunloading theprevious“ingredient”. When
Fn is pressed, the indicated weight is added to the subtotal, and the displayed weight returns to a value of
zero.

IPB50
11
PRINTING IN EITHER TOTALIZER
Ifa printer isconnected, eachpressingof Fnprints the progressivenumber ofweighments,theGROSSweight
the TARE weight and NET weight.
Each time you press PRINT, the TOTAL number of weighments, TOTAL NET weight, TICKET No and
DATE/TIME (if selected and it depends of the printer) are printed.
CAUTION: all the totalized values are reset when the instrument is turned off.
PCS COUNTING (COUn)
Similar to standard Fn, we have the ability to count pieces placed on the scale,or ina containeron thescale,
by measuring only a small sample of the total, thus saving the user a good deal of time.
1) Place the empty container on the scale and press TARE to zero the displayed weight.
2) Check that the zero is on the display and press the Fn button: the counting function activates and the
display asks the user for the quantity of sample pieces, to be chosen between 5, 10, 20, 50,100, and 200.
The LED "kg" and "NET" are turned off and the displayed digits are flashing.
3) Press Fn the number of times needed to reach the desired sample size.
4) Put either on the platform or on the container the same quantity of reference pieces selected and press↵
to confirm. The display shows “SAMP” while the IPB50 finds the APW (or APW Average piece weight).
The PCS led turns on and the quantity on the platform is shown on the display.
5) Put the quantity to be counted on the platform. The display shows the PCS value.
6) Unload the scale, the APW will remain stored in memory for the next counting of pieces alike (no new
SAMPLE operation is required). In this case, check the 0 PCS indication on display; otherwise press the
TARE key.
NOTE:After the PCS counting step has been completed, and an APW value has been stored in memory, by
pressing Fn once the WEIGHTof the pieces will be displayed. Pressing Fn a second time will display
“APW=.” To see the APW value that the instrument has recorded, press ↵two times. The first time that ↵is
pressed, the first 6 digits of the unit weight value will be displayed: only the digits before the decimal place
(00000.00000). At the second pressing, of ↵, will display the digits of the unit weight values after the decimal
place (00000.00000). Press Fn again to get back into counting Fn; the display will indicate: "-S–CP." Press
↵to confirm the previously calculated APW value.
By pressing Fn, at anytime, it is possible to set up a new reference quantity: if a previous APW is already
active, the display will indicate: "-S-CP":pressFntoacquireanewreferenceas describedatpoint 2).During
the REFERENCE calculation, ZERO key assumes escape function, to return in WEIGHT mode.
PCS COUNTING UNLOAD METHOD
1) Place a FULL container on the SCALE, zero the weight with TARE, and press Fn to select the desired
Sample size.
2) Takes off the same quantity of pieces as selected for the SAMPLE value and press ↵to confirm. The
display will indicate SAMP while the IPB50 calculates the average piece weight (APW). The PCS LED will
turn off and the display will indicate the negative selected quantity.
3) Continue removing pieces, and the quantity taken off will appear on the display.
MINIMUM WEIGHT OF THE SAMPLE
In order to achieve high accuracy in the APW's calculation, the Reference quantity’s weight should not be less
than a minimum value dependant on the instrument's firmware. In such a case, after pressing ↵, the display
will indicate: " CP -L" and the quantity will not be accepted. Press ->0<-to cancel this alarm status and
repeat the procedure with a sufficient quantity.

IPB50
12
VIEWING THE APW (average piece Weight)
After carrying out the reference operation it is possible to view on the display the calculated APW or the one
manually inserted. While the scale shows the number of pieces, if one presses Fn, the display shows the
WEIGHT on the weighing system; when one press Fn again the APW= is displayed. At this point by pressing
↵once, the digits before the decimal place are shown, while pressing ↵a second time the digits after the
decimal place are shown.
For example, ifthe unit of measure of the scale is kg, after carrying out the reference operation, by pressing
Fn twice the display shows APW=; if one now presses ↵the digits of the APW before the decimal place are
shown, 0 for example; by pressing ↵again, the digits after the decimal place are shown, which could be
60000 for example; in this case the APW, or the weight of each piece is 0.60000 kg. To return to the counting
function, press Fn (or ↵) again: the display will show “-S –CP”; now press ↵to confirm and return to the
counting function with the same APW previously calculated
PRINTING UNDER COUNTING Fn
If a printer is present, pressing the ↵key will print the values of GROSS weight, TARE weight, NET weight on
the scale, the Quantity of PIECES (PCS) on the scale,plusthe APW(calculatedor enteredbyuser)inkg,g,t,
or lb. The ticket number is also printed (if enabled in the ntlk step of the USER SET-UP)
NOTE:If ↵is pressed with the scale in weight Fn (for instance by pressing Fn to exit counting Function), only
the values of GROSS weight, TARE weight, NET weight on the scale will print.
STANDARD (Std)
Normal weighing Fn: by pressing "Fn" key the value is converted from kg to lbs and vice versa. Their relative
LED displays the appropiate unit. Only this Fn has the ability to convert from kg to lbs and back again.
However, the other Fns may be chosen in either unit of measure during configuration beforehand.
NET/GROSS (NtgS) (the tare value is lost when the IPB is switched off)
Press the key ->T<-to display the net Value 0 (led NET is ON), however with the Fn key having a net/gross
switch. If there is a pre-settare,by pressing theFn key, fora 3 secondinterval,the gross weightis displayed,
the net weight LED is turned off and the pre-set measuring units is flashing.
TAKE NOTE:While the gross weight is being viewed it is not possible to print.
SET POINT
StPG (setpoint on the gross it is not possible to tare) / StPn (setpoint on the net)
Press the Fn key to modify the values of the 2 setpoints.
Setpoints without hysteresis (IStno selected)
– The display shows " StP1 " (setpoint 1) press ↵, the display shows the value of setpoint 1.
– Use the Fn key to choose the digit to be increased (BLINKING DIGIT), the scrolling of the digits takes
place from right to left.
– Increase the value using the ->T<-key.
– When finished entering the values, confirm with ↵.
– The display shows " StP2 " (setpoint 2) press ↵, the display shows the value of setpoint 2.
-- adjustment idem setpoint1.
Setpoints with hysteresis (IStnI selected)
one enters two SETPOINTS for each relay: a DISABLING one, which, (when the gross weight is lower than it,
disables the appropriate relay); an ENABLING one, (when the gross weight is equal or greater than it, it
enables the appropriate relay). By keeping pressed the ↵key for about 3 seconds one enters the four SET
POINT values (DISABLING and ENABLING of relay 1, DISABLING and ENABLING of relay 2):
– The display shows " SP1OF " (relay 1 DISABLING SETPOINT): press ↵to enter the Step.
– Use the Fn key to choose the digit to be increased (BLINKING DIGIT), the scrolling of the digits takes
place from right to left.

IPB50
13
– Increase the value using the ->T<-key.
– When finished entering the values, confirm with ↵.
– The display shows " SP1On " (relay 1ENABLING SETPOINT): enter the weight value as in the preceding
SETPOINT and confirm with ↵.
– The display shows " SP2OF " (relay 2 DISABLING SETPOINT enter the weight value as in the preceding
SETPOINT and confirm with ↵.
– The display shows " SP2On " (relay 2 ENABLING SETPOINT enter the weight value as in the preceding
SETPOINT and confirm with ↵.
Example : SP1On = 1000.0 et SP1OF=999.0, the relays will be ON at 1000.0 and will be OFF at 999.0
NOTES
-The DISABLING SETPOINT must be less or equal to the ENABLING ones; if a high value is entered, the
instrument will show an error message (Err) on the display; after this it will again propose the SETPOINTS
until a correct value is entered.
-If a 0 value is entered, it only has effect on the ENABLING SETPOINTS; in other words, the relay is
activated with the GROSS WEIGHT equal to zero and it is not disabled until the instrument is turned off.
-The status of the weight remains active on the present value also during the modification of the
SETPOINTS, until the new value is confirmed.
-In this functioning Fn the tare operations are DISABLED.
-To set the initial status of the two relays, normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C), refer to the USER
SET-UP.
NOTES:
-The weight status remains active on the present value also during the modification of the SETPOINTS,
until a new value is confirmed.
-To set the initial status of the two relays, normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C), refer to the USER
SET-UP.
ANALOG OUTPUT (optional)
In all function if the optional analog output is present, it is possible to use the 0-10VFIXEDoutputandthe0-20
mA CONFIGURABLE output (jumper on the OPEN analog board), or in 4-20 mA (closed JUMPER). The
voltage and the output current from the interface are proportional with the gross weight or with the net weight
(selectable through the AOUt step of the user setup) present on the scale.
When the instrument is in underload, the analog output value is the minimum and when in overload, the
analog output value is the maximum allowed.
IN THIS FUNCTION ONLY THE ZERO KEY IS ENABLED.
Note: the analogic output card is optional and can only be found on IPB50 with analog output.
ANALOG OUTPUT CALIBRATION

TECHNICAL CONFIGURATION (SET-UP ENVIRONMENT)
Entering the CONFIGURATION or "ConF” Fn of the IPB50 allows you to browse through a menu where it is
possible to select all of the instrument’s operating parameters or functions. It is composed of several steps.
To enter into CONFIGURATION keep the ->0<-key pressed while turning on the instrument until the display
shows "ConF", then release ->0<-. Press the ->0<-key, again, to display an identification number of the
version program. Press the ->0<-keyagainto pass tothe first parameteron the menuyoucan see anumber
(see nota below).
NOTE: THE METROLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF THE SETUP are normally NOT ACTIVATED.
To activate them it is necessary to open the instrument and insert the proper microswitch. (see DISPLAY
BOARD CONNECTION SCHEME). If the instrument is LEGAL FOR TRADE, in order to open it one should
take off the legalization seal on the rear of the indicator.
In the following description, the steps with METROLOGICAL PARAMETERS have this symbol (*)
In the Set-Up condition, the instrument keys allow the user to perform the following functions:
->0<-Scrolls the programming steps in sequence. Use while searching for a value to modify.
↵Dual function: 1) "Enters" into the editing of the parameter selected with ->0<-. 2) Stores the
PRINT modifications just performed during the current step and passes on to the next step.
->T<-Dual function: ->T<-is used to scroll the configurable values while in the current step, and
is used to increase a numerical value of a digit selected with Fn key
Fn Changes the numerical value of a step by selecting the digit to be changed.
(it moves forward/backward the selected digit) The digit selected is the flashing one.
Use ->T<-to increase the value.
The display shows each step for which, below, you can find an explanation.
The symbol (!) shows the configuration normally set by the manufacturer relative to that step.
Note:
Displaying the raw counts. It is useful to check that the the load cell connection is done correctly. A correct
operation will have a value greater than 0 with no load applied, and less than 65535 with the weight at full
scale (scale’s capacity). Press the "->0<-" key to pass to the following parameter.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS ARE TO BE CARRIED OUT ONLY DURING THE INITIAL
CALIBRATION OF THE WEIGHING SYSTEM (otherwise the weighing system must be recalibrated).
1) In case the point value is equalto 0,carryout thecalibration ofzerothrough steptP 0and check againthe
converter value with the unloaded scale.
2) In case the point value is equal to 65535 (at full scale capacity) go to step “Gain”, choose a lower gain
than what has been set; thengoback to the stepand check that thepointvalue of the fullscale capacity is
under 65535. If isn’t, repeat the operation.
ddFS (*) SCALE CAPACITY
This sets the capacity of the scale. Press ↵and the display will indicate the stored value (NOTE:the decimal
point position will depend on the following step). Press ->T<-to scroll through the available choices
1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3200, 4000, 5000, 6000, 6500, 8000, 10000, 12000, 15000, 20000, 25000,

dECI (*) DECIMAL POINT POSITION
This step moves the position of the decimal point in the scale capacity value chosen from the previous step.
(For example, the scale capacity value “15000” would become 1500.0, 150.00, 15.000 depending on which of
the values: “100000, 1.0, 1.00, or 1.000” was selected respectively). The ->0<-s shown after the decimal
point indicate the number of digits after the decimal point. The value “100000” selects “no decimal point”.
(!) 1.000
ddES (*) SET MINIMUM SCALE DIVISION
This is the minimum difference between two consecutive scale values. When it is a fraction of Kg, it can be
shown as g, tenth of a gor hundredth of a gby selecting one of the following value: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50.
With the ->T<-key select avalue and confirm it with the ↵key.
(!) 1
Note: the maximum number of divisions that the instrument can display is 30.000. Therefore, if you insert a
value of maximum load, the minimum division to be insert has to be:
maximum load / minimum division ≤30.000
If you insert a maximum load to 100000, the minimum division is 5 and if you try to insert 2, the instrument
goes in alarm and the display shows Err. Until you insert an acceptable value, you can not go ahead with the
set-up. By pressing ↵, the instrument automatically inserts an acceptable value.
If you want to insert a different decimal point position, by pressing ->0<-, the display LED shows dECI then
press ↵, set the decimal point position and go ahead with the configurations step.
0n-0(*) AUTO->0<-AT SWITCH ON
Enables (AUtO) or disables (FrEE) the ability of the instrument to acquire a gross zero automatically when the
instrument is first switched on. When "AUtO" is enabled the display will be zeroing, if the gross weight value
on the scale is less than +/-10% of the maximum capacity.
(!) AUtO
tIM0 (*) ->0<-TRACKING TIME
The instrument periodically recalculates the zero when its variation does not exceed half the minimum scale
division. This step sets the length of time after whicha new zero can be automatically taken. It is possible to
select values between 0 and 256 in increments of a tenth of a second.

GrAV (*) SELECTION OF THE GRAVITATIONAL ZONE OF USE
The gravitation coefficient varies from location to location throughout the earth’s surface; therefore, its value is
not a “constant”. Because it varies between 9.75001 TO 9.84999m/s², the user has the abilitytoenter thefive
digits after the decimal point by first selecting ZONE 06 from the list of 6 available zones. For example if the
gravitational value is 9.80123, enter 80123. (The other 5 Zones on this step of the instrument configuration
are only valid for their corresponding locations within Italy -when selected, they automatically correct for
variances in weight values due to differences in gravitational attraction). Because the values of these Zones
are very unlikely to represent actual values in your location we suggest you obtain and enter the one for your
area or an average of 9.8 m/s².PresstheFnkeytoselectthedigittobemodifiedandthe->T<-keyto change

n tP (*) CALIBRATION POINT SELECTION
Number of calibration points (not counting the zero point): 1 or 2 to make the weighing system linear, if
necessary. This allows the user to optimise the performance of a weighing system with a slight case of non-
linearity.
tP 0 (*) (flashing) ZERO CALIBRATION
Your system without loads, press ↵to perform the balance zero calibration (tP0 stop flashing), wait a few
seconds for the sensor to memorize signal and the IPB will go to the next step. This function is useful in new
calibrations or when a new weighing module is connected.
ddtI (*) 1ST CALIBRATION POINT SETTING
This step allows the user to enter the actual value of the reference weight that will be used for the 1st
calibration point. Use the Fn and ->T<-keys to select and confirm with ↵.
tP I (*) (flashing) 1ST POINT CALIBRATION

ddt2 (*) 2ND CALIBRATION POINT SETTING ( if ntP =2)
This step allows the user to enter the actual value of the reference weight that will be used for the 2nd
calibration point. Use the Fn and ->T<-keys to select and confirm with ↵
tP 2 (*) (flashing) 2ND POINT CALIBRATION
Placea referenceweighton theplatform ofthesame valueas theoneprogrammed inthepreviousstep“ddtI.”
Wait for the scale to stabilize, then confirm the calibration by pressing↵,(tP2stopflashing)waita fewseconds

NOTE: If only one calibration point was set, steps "ddt2" and "tP 2" will not be available. If 2 calibration
pointswere set,thesecond onemust begreater thanthefirst one. Fora morereliable operation,calibratethe
scale with a weight of at least 50% of the scale’s maximum capacity.
CAUTION: For the IPB to memorize the (tP 0, tP 1, tP2 and CAL 0) require a few seconds to achieve stability
on the scale; wait until the next step appears on the display before proceeding.
CAL-0(*) (flashing) ZERO CALIBRATION
This step is useful only for calibrating the zero point when a permanent tare weight is added to the platform.
Position the new fixed tare and press ↵(CAL 0 stop flashing), wait a few seconds for the IPB memorize the
signal and the IPB will go to the next step.

M0dE FILTERING –DISPLAYING
The 9 possible programmable values are the following:
HI-1HI-2HI-3= maximum immunity to vibrations, the display update slower, but with longer gaps.
HS-1HS-2HS-3= medium filter, continuous variations of the weight.
L0-1L0-2L0-3= light filter the displayed value changes continuously -not recommended in weighing
systems with over 3000 divisions of resolution.
The numbers 1, 2, 3after the filter type indicate its effectiveness from weakest (1) to highest (3).
DInADYNAMOMETER
Applications such as crane scales have particular requirements for obtaining stability and countering the
tendency to change the value of weight displayed.
