1.The D8-1 unit can receive one signal (e.g. weight value) per channel.
Each D8-1 unit has 2 channels (CH 1 and CH2). Up to 16 D8-1 units
can be used with each receiver.A maximum of 16 weight values can be
handled.
When using one unit: One signal can be received on channel 1 and one
signal can be received on channel 2.
When using 2 units: One signal can be received on the rst unit´s channel
1 and one signal can be received on the rst unit´s channel 2. One signal
can be received on the second unit´s channel 1 and one signal can be
received on the second unit´s channel 2. I.e. 2 signals can be received
when using one D8-1 unit. 4 signals can be received when using 2 D8-1
units.

2.The signals and alarm + warnings ags are distributed over RS485/
MODBUS to the Tiger receiver.
3. Each receiver have 4 clusters for handling the signals.We recommend
selecting an empty cluster for each new input signal. E.g. cluster 1 for the
1st input signal, cluster 2 for the 2nd input signal, cluster 3 for the 3rd
input signal and cluster 4 for the 4th input signal.
An upper alarm limit, an upper warning limit, an upper hysteresis limit
+ a lower alarm limit, a lower warning limit, a lower hysteresis limit can
be set for each cluster. One or more relays can be activated or blocked
when the alarm limits and warning limits are reached.The feedback can be
displayed according to your needs.
4.The weight value is the output from each cluster:Weight 1 is the output
from cluster 1, weight 2 is the output from cluster 2 etc. If more than one
weight value is received in a cluster, the output from that cluster is the
sum of the incoming weight values.
5.The transmitter will act upon the input from the receiver, e.g. show a
message in the display or ash a LED. NOTE! You will need a bindat le in
the transmitter to receive feedback.

*Hysteresis value
A hysteresis value can be used when there is a need for increasing the
tolerance for small deviations.An hysteresis value can be set for over-
weight and/or underweight, and applies for both the alarm limit + the
warning limit.
Example 1: Overweight settings
The WeightHigh_Limit is set to 2000 (kg.).A WeightHigh_Hysteresis value
is set to 500.When the incoming weight goes up to (or exceeds) the
WeightHigh_Limit, an alarm ag is raised.
Subtract the WeightHigh_Hysteresis value from the WeightHigh_Limit to
get the value where the ag will be lowered: 2.000-500= 1.500. The
incoming weight goes above 2.000 and the alarm ag for overweight is
raised.The incoming weight then drops to under 1.800, goes up to 1.900,
falls down to 1.800 before nally stopping at 1.880. Since the incoming
weight value never went below the WeightHigh_Hysteresis limit of 1.500,
the ag is still raised. If it had gone below, the alarm ag would have been
lowered.
In practice, raising the ag can be used for blocking or activating a relay
when the incoming weight value is too high. When the ag is lowered, the
same relay will block or activate again. If the incoming weight is uctu-
ating and you don´t use a hysteresis value, the relay will go on and off
every time the value passes the WeightHigh_Limit on its way up and
down.
An overweight alarm limit was set set to 1.700 (kg.). Subtract the
hysteresis value of 500 from 1.700.When the incoming weight goes up to

18
(or exceeds) the WarningWeightHigh_Limit, an alarm ag is raised. If the
incoming weight at any time goes below 1.200 (kg.), the alarm ag will be
lowered. Otherwise the alarm ag will stay raised.
Example 2: Underweight settings
The WeightLow_Limit is set to 25 (kg).A WeightLow_Hysteresis value
is set to 50.When the incoming weight goes down to (or fall below) the
WeightLow_Limit, an alarm ag is raised.
Add the WeightLow_Hysteresis value to the WeightLow_Limit to get the
value where the ag will be lowered: 50+25= 75. The incoming weight
goes down to 12 and the alarm ag for underweight is raised, up to 44,
down to 16, then up to 31 before nally stopping at 28. Since the incoming
weight value never went above the WeightLow_Hysteresis limit, the ag
is still raised. If the incoming weight value had gone above the hysteresis
limit, the alarm ag would have been lowered.
In practice, raising the ag can be used for blocking or activating a relay
when the incoming weight value is too low. When the ag is lowered, the
same relay will block or activate again. If the incoming weight is uctu-
ating and you don´t use a hysteresis value, the relay will go on and off
every time the value passes the WeightLow_Limit on its way up and down.
An underweight alarm limit was set to 100 (kg.).Add the hysteresis value
of 50 to 100.When the incoming weight goes under the WarningWeight-
Low_Limit, an alarm ag is raised. If the incoming weight goes above 150
(kg.), the alarm ag will be lowered. Otherwise the alarm ag will stay
raised.

2-point calibration settings
1. Select ‘1st point cal’ in the receiver menu.
2. Select the cluster to be calibrated, e.g.‘1’.
3. Connect a known load to the hook (we recommend no load
(zero weight), for the 1st point).
4. Enter the weight of the 1st known load in the receiver menu.
5. Select ‘2nd point cal’ in the receiver menu.
6. Select the same cluster, in this case ‘1’.
7. Connect a 2nd known load to the hook (we recommend 80-
100% of the maximum load. TIP! Pick calibration points that
differ as much as possible from one another for the best
result).
8. Enter the weight of the 2nd known load in the receiver menu.
System reset
Make a system reset to return to default values:
1. WITHIN 5 SECONDS FROM STARTING THE D8-1:

2. Keep the D8-1 Select button pressed for at least 5 seconds.
The green Power-LED goes out.

Disposal of electronics
Improperly disposed electronics may harm public health and the environ-
ment. Batteries and electronic waste may contain toxic heavy metals. If
thrown away in the trash, the toxic compounds can leach into soil and
water, pollute lakes and streams, making them unt for drinking, swimming,
shing, and wildlife. Contact your local government’s recycling or solid
waste department for more information on proper disposal of electronics
in your region.
RoHS and WEEE
In accordance with Directive 2002/95/EC on restriction
of the use of certain hazardous substances in electri-
cal and electronic equipment (RoHS) and Directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment (WEEE),Tele Radio strives to minimize the use of
hazardous materials, promotes reuse and recycling, and
reduces emissions to air, soil and water.When a com-
mercially viable alternative is available,Tele Radio strives
to restrict or eliminate substances and materials that
pose an environmental, health or safety risk.
