Scope of TI-500 RF Series
Out of the box, the TI-500 RF series indicator operates as a basic, cabled digital weight indica-
tor. The load cell(s) and/or j-box is connected to the indicator’s internal A/D convertor. This con-
figuration is depicted in the following diagram:
When sold as part of a Smarter Weigh™ RF Kit, your TI-500 RF series indicator is transformed
from “wired” to cable-free. This configuration is depicted in the following diagram:

Installation of TI-500 RFTM remote wireless A/D Module
Physical installation
The remote wireless A/D module is designed to fit into a pre-defined opening:
An optional mounting bracket is also available.
Electrical Connections
The RF A/D module requires an external 6VDC power supply. Single channel units require
about 60 mA of current to drive four 350 ohm load cells (20 mA plus 10 mA per load cell). Dual
channel units require about 100 mA of current to drive eight 350 ohm load cells.
The RF A/D module will operate normally down to approximately 4 VDC whereupon it will indi-
cate a low battery condition.
The power leads are pre-wired to the inside of the RFTM. The red lead goes to the positive DC
terminal while the black lead goes to the negative DC terminal.
The RF A/D module also has at least one load cell input terminal or wiring harness. Each termi-
nal or harness can drive up to four 350 ohm load cells. The terminals are spring loaded; to open,
use a small screwdriver to press down on the orange tab. The harnesses should be spliced to
the load cell or j-box using the supplied butt splices.

Hold Mode
This mode of operation is enabled by setting F30 to “5”. This mode
captures the weight of an unstable load, e.g. livestock, by freezing
the weight on the display. Use the Motion Band setting (F5) and the
Percentage Hold setting (F12) to adjust this mode to your specific
application. When the weight has been locked onto the display, two
arrows beneath the weight display will be turned ON.
"0" = Off
AUTOMATIC (A11 = 1) – Automatically locks weight on the display
when stable. If the weight of the object on the scale changes by the
F12 setting (e.g. 10%) then the sale unlocks the held reading and
relocks onto the new weight. This occurs during both increasing and
decreasing weight values.
MANUAL (A11 = 2) – Press the NET/GROSS key before applying
any weight to the scale. After the load has stabilized, the display will
hold the weight reading on the screen until the NET/GROSS key is
pressed again. If the weight of the object on the scale changes by the
F12 setting (e.g. 10%) then the sale unlocks the held reading and
relocks onto the new weight. This occurs during increasing weight
values only.
PEAK HOLD (A11 = 3) – The display updates as the load increases
but not as the load decreases. The value shown on the screen is the
maximum weight applied to the scale. Press the UNITS key to toggle
between live mode and peak hold mode. The ‘P’ annunciator is used
to indicate that you are in Peak Hold mode. When you exit out of
peak hold mode, the old peak value is automatically cleared.
