* 1. Press and Hold “SET” key while system power on, until the
display show [F1], enter setting mode. Turn off the system, then
turn it on again, the system back to normal weigh mode.
2. In F or A menu mode, press and hold “↑” key, back to normal
weigh mode.
4.2 Display and Annunciator

In normal weigh mode, the LED is flickering: the flicker frequency is
almost 2Hz in zero, the flicker frequency is almost 1Hz in other
weight; in setting mode, the LED lighten or black out.
4.3 TI-1500VC Calibration
Note: Every TI-1500VC has Factory Reset (F21) when it out of
the factory. The 4-20mA and 0-10V has been adjusted, so the
user shouldn’t repeat F21, otherwise the analog output should
been adjusted again.
4.3.1 Calibration
Example: The system result: 3000 x 0.1kg=300kg
(1) Graduations: Enter setting mode, the display show [F1].
Press “↓” key enter, the display show [xxxxx], if now the value
is [3000], press “↑”, back to the main menu. Otherwise, press
“→” or “←” key, until the display show [3000], press “SET” to
save the change. Then press “↑”, back to the main menu, the
display show [F1] again.
(2) Display Divisions: Press “→” key, until the display show [F9].
Press “↓” key enter, the display show [div x], if now the value is
[div 1], press “↑”, back to the main menu. Otherwise, press
“→” or “←” key, until the display show [div 1], press “SET” to
-11-
save the change. Then press “↑”, back to the main menu, the
display show [F9] again.
(3) Decimal Point: Press “→” key, until the display show [F10].
Press “↓” key enter, the display show [xxx], if now the value is
[0.0], press “↑”, back to the main menu. Otherwise, press “→”
or “←” key, until the display show [0.0], press “SET” to save the
change. Then press “↑”, back to the main menu, the display
show [F10] again.
(4) Zero Calibration: Press “→” key, until the display show [F16].
Make sure there are no test weights on the platform, press “↓”
key enter, the display show the present zero A/D count. When
the stabile annunciator turns on, press “↓” key to set zero point,
then press “SET” key to save the zero value.
(5) Span Calibration: Press “→” key, until the display show [F17].
Place the full capacity test weight on the platform, press “↓”
key enter, the display show flash [ 0], press “←” key 3 times,
the display show [ 0000], press “↑” input [3], now the display
show [3000], it’s equal to the test weight. When the stabile
annunciator turns on, press “SET” key to save the span value.
Now finishing the calibration, turn off the system. Then turn it on
again, the system back to the normal weigh mode.
4.3.2 Adjust the Zero Track Band (F3)
Zero Track Band means in stabile state the system will
automatically zero within the setting zero track range. The system’s
default zero track value is 1d. If the system use in large wind
environment or there will be some residues leave on the platform
every weight, the zero track parameter should be
-12-

increased according the fact.
Note:
Zero Track Range will effect the manual zero range. The larger
zero track range, the smaller the manual zero range. After run
zero track several times, it will lead to manual zero disable.
4.3.3 Adjust the Manual Zero Range (F4)
The function is being operated the deriver by manual zero clear.
The manual zero range is according to F4 value.
4.3.4 Adjust the Auto Zero Range (F15)
The function is made deriver to zero, when the system power on.
Note: If using in bucket scale system, the F15 value should be set
[OFF], its means when the system power off or restart, the system
will not be to zero automation.
4.3.5 Adjust DA (F25)
The analog output 4-20mA and 0-10V has been adjusted, when the
TI-1500VC out of the factory. The parameter should not be
adjusted again generally. If necessary, please follow the step:
(1) Enter F23 to select the type of analog output.
(2) Install the test circuit. (Command: connect to the device
directly.)
(3) Enter F25, press “↓”, the display show the present DA value
(0V or 4mA) [xxxxx].Adjust way:
[↑] key: Rough adjust. Press once, the value increase 50;
[↓] key: Rough adjust. Press once, the value decrease 50;
[SET] key: Save the value. Or when the present value is not
-13-
adjusted, press [SET] Key into next vale sub-menu.
[←] key: Fine adjust. Press once, the value increase 1;
[→] key: Fine adjust. Press once, the value decrease 1.
Note:
When F23=Aout-C, F25 can adjust follow item:
DA0 → 4mA adjust
DA1 → 20mA adjust
DA_ _ _ _ → 2mA adjust ( Lowest weight mark port current )
DA□□□□ → 22mA adjust (Highest weight mark port current )
When F23=Aout-V, F25 can adjust follow item:
DA0 → 0V adjust
DA1 → 10V adjust
DA_ _ _ _ → -0.04V adjust ( Lowest weight mark port current )
DA□□□□ → 10.8V adjust (Highest weight mark port current )

Hardware Vision Explain:
Show as follow figure. There is a hardware’s mark label paste near
the power terminal. So the different PCB board which marks
different sign can not be changed. Otherwise the TI-1500VC will be
destroyed. If the transmitter out of operate because of the
hardware error, please take it back to the factory, don’t repair it by
yourself.
