INTRODUCTION
The T500ESS Digital Indicator is a general purpose, industrial grade weight indicator. One model is
currently available, distinguishable by display type, enclosure type and power supply. Table 1 shows the
T500ESS product m a trix.
This model can readout up to 50,000 display divisions and can supply enough current for up to 4- 350
load cells. All setup parameters may be entered via the front panel keys, includin g calibr a tion.
If your Model T500ESS Digital Indicator is part of a complete floor scale or has already been installed for
you, you may skip to the operating instructions. Prior to using the indicator, please read this chapter
carefully and completely. Store the manual in a safe and convenient place so it will be available if you

FCC NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equi pment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions manual, may cause harmful interference to radio com munications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own e x pense.
INSTALLATION
PREPARATION
Any precision instrument re quires a suitable environment in which to operate as intended. Please review
each of the following prior to installation:
Electrical Power
The T500ESS indicator has been designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. All units ship
with the appropr iate power plug for its area of intended use.
To avoid electrical noise interference and/or stray AC electrical transients , try to operate the indicator
from a circuit separate from any equipment containing inductive devices such as a contactor coil,
so lenoid, relay coil, or motor . Be sure to use shielded cables for the load cell connections (ground shield
wire at indicator) and run these cables away from your AC/DC power cables if possible .
In extreme cases, it may be necessary to install surge suppre ssors, line conditioners or even UPS
( Uninterruptible Power Supplies ) systems (not included) .
