Before you begin, please notice the programming sheet that comes in the
box with your indicator and instructions. This page tells you the
parameters to which your unit has been programmed. Your unit is
programmed at the factory as it is ordered. If there are incorrect
parameters, please refer to this manual to see how any changes you make
will affect the other options, and the calibration of your unit. It is
imperative that you correctly set the menus in order for this unit to work.
Any changes in the units, decimals, count-by, resolution, and calibration of
the unit will affect the output! If you make any changes to the set-up, you
must record the menus you alter so that you can inform customer
assistance if you call for technical help. Without the changes, our factory
will be trying to advise you using the factory set-up!
Indicator Precautions:
The indicator is sent with a door latch, and the door will have two screws holding
the door shut. Those screws are to be removed in order to insert the
connections to the various connectors in the box. When connections are
complete, and the indicator door is latched closed, you must reinstall the screws
that hold the indicator door closed. The power cord is attached at the factory
using a liquid tight fitting. Do not modify or restrict the ability to disconnect the
power cord from the outlet. Connections for bases using other fittings or conduit
must be made in the field. Please take care to not damage the internal
components when drilling a hole in the indicator box. All holes drilled MUST be
sealed so that gasses and liquids cannot penetrate the box and damage the
internal electronics. Do not drill holes where the internal cables are located. If
there is a gap or opening in the box that isn’t sealed by the connector, use a
silicon caulk to seal the opening from exposure. Please use fittings that are
liquid tight fittings and are rated for NEMA 4X conditions. Do not use any type of
conduit fitting or other fittings that do not have a tight seal to the indicator.
Damage may occur if gasses and liquids have access to the electronics! The
mounting location of the indicator should be at operational level, away from the
floor. Indicator is a NEMA 4X rated enclosure; however, it is not designed to
withstand wash-down procedures, or chemical contact beyond accidental
exposure. Please choose a location that will protect the indicator from direct
contact with chemicals, or regular soaking of water. Indicator is mounted to wall
using the four holes in the tabs on the indicator box.
If the indicator is mounted in a way that does not comply to the standards above,
the resulting damage will not be considered for warranty repair, and may cause
substantial damage to the electronics.
If the indicator should require cleaning, a cloth damp with water would be
recommended to wipe the display and keypad area, as long as the chemical
conditions can allow for it. Due to the fact that the chemical environment in
which the 1020™ may be located, can vary greatly, we cannot identify one
specific cleaner to maintain the indicator. You must use your own discretion
when cleaning with any substances. Mild cleaners should not affect the indicator
box. Harsh or abrasive cleaners are NOT recommended for use as they may
etch or scratch the finish on the mylar or enclosure.

V. Troubleshooting: Please DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR RE-CALIBRATE
THIS INSTRUMENT ON YOUR OWN UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. IT
HAS BEEN CALIBRATED AND TESTED BEFORE IT LEAVES THE FACTORY.
Should you experience trouble, please read the following for easy diagnosis, and
then call the factory for assistance.
If “88888” appears for net weight: This is a condition of overload in weight.
The most likely cause is that the weight on the scale exceeds the net weight that
was configured for the base. Go through each step in the Set-up menu to verify
that chosen options are correct.
If indicator is not receiving any power: DO NOT, AT ANY TIME, STICK
ANYTHING INTO THE OPEN FRAME POWER SUPPLY OR TOUCH THE
COMPONENTS! YOU CAN RECEIVE A SHOCK!!!!! Check outlet for power.
Check to see that scale is plugged into an outlet with the proper voltage. Check

the small green light on the power supply board (on the top right corner of the
Interface board in the back of the indicator box) to make sure it is lit (not
blinking). If the light is completely out, or blinking, the problem exists in
something before the power supply, or something is placing the power supply in
“current overload”. Try disconnecting power, and removing all other equipment
other than the scale base wires and the power cord (this means 4-20 equipment
and relay connections). Plug unit back into power to see if this fixes the situation.
If it does, the problem is not with the 1020™. Check the 4-20mA hook-up to be
sure that the power supply to the 4-20 circuit is within the correct range.
Reconnect one piece at a time to isolate the problem. The power supply’s safety
shut down will cause it to beep and blink the green light. If this starts to happen,
remove power quickly and fix problem. If problem persists, call the factory about
the problem and describe the condition to a technical advisor.
If the 4-20mA reading is incorrect: This 4-20 circuit is Loop powered, so a
supply of power of 18-30 VDC must power the 1020™. Please refer to the
diagram on page 10. Check to make sure the wire insulation is not pinched in
the connector. Wires should stay in the connector even if you gently tug on the
wires. Insert the wire so that it makes good connection. Check to make sure the
scale has been configured properly in the SET-UP Menu. If the problem persists,
please take note if you have a reading of 4mA or 20mA without changing
regardless of weight, or if there is a reading of 0 mA. This will be important in
diagnosing problem.
If the level indicating relay is not working: check to make sure the wire
insulation is not pinched in the connector. Make sure the indicator is
programmed properly in the Set-up menu. Check the setting of a HI or LO set
point to see if relay is configured to act properly. Relay will be NO or NC
depending on connection. Please refer to Orientation Diagram for relay
connections. If problem persists, call the factory.
If problems persist, PLEASE CALL THE FACTORY! If in the U.S.A., call: 1
(800) 257-5911. Outside of the U.S.A. (215) 766-2670.
