CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE TI-500/500E DIGITAL INDICATORS
The TI-500/500E Digital Indicator is a general purpose, industrial grade weight indicator. Three
models are currently available, distinguishable by display type and enclosure type. Table 1-1
shows the TI-500/500E product matrix.
All models operate identically, can readout up to 50,000 display divisions and can supply enough
current for up to 4-350Ωload cells. All setup parameters may be entered via the front panel keys,
including calibration.
If your Model TI-500/500E Digital Indicator is part of a complete floor scale or has been installed
for you, you may skip to Chapter 7 for 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 have questions concerning the operation of the scale.
If you are an installer, the indicator's installation and wiring instructions are found in Chapter 2.
The indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu which configures the indica-
tor to your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu which configures the serial communication
port and enables some user options. Chapter 3 gives an overview and explains how to use the
five front panel keys to maneuver and save settings in both menus. Chapters 4 and 5 explain the
Setup and User Menu options, respectively. Chapter 6 covers system calibration. Prior to install-
ing the indicator, please read this manual carefully and completely. Store the manual in a safe
and convenient place so it will be available if you have questions concerning the setup and op-
eration of the scale.

CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION
6.1 CALIBRATION OVERVIEW
The indicator is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in F16 (Zero) and F17 (Span) of
the Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the indicator's non-volatile memory - F16 the
zero value (deadweight) and F17 the span value (test weight). The minimum test weight that can be
used is 1% of full-scale capacity. After the two calibration procedures are executed successfully,
you should record both calibration values in Table 6-1 using the F18 View procedure.
In the unlikely event that either value is lost while in the field, the setup menu makes provisions for
re-entering these values via F19 and F20, thus eliminating the need for re-calibration with test
weights.
NOTE: This chapter assumes that the indicator is in Setup (“F”) Menu mode. If the indicator is not
in Setup Menu mode, refer to Chapter 3 for instructions.
6.2 ZERO CALIBRATION (F16)
1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 16", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter
zero calibration menu. The display will momentarily show "C 0" followed by a value. This value
is the internal A/D count and can prove useful when trying to troubleshoot setup problems.
2. After making sure that there are no test weights on the platform, press the ZERO key again to
zero out the displayed value.
3. Press the NET/GROSS key to save the zero point value. The display will show "EndC0"
momentarily, then revert back up to F16. At this time, proceed to the F17 span calibration to
complete indicator calibration.
6.3 SPAN CALIBRATION (F17)
1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 17", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter
span calibration menu.
2. The display will momentarily show "C 1" for the span calibration, followed by a value with one
flashing digit. This value will be zero with the Decimal Point parameter selected in F10. Place
the test weight on the weighing mechanism.
3. Use the four directional keys (shown in Figure 6-1 below) to adjust the displayed value to the
actual test weight value. Increase the flashing digit by pressing the lb/kg key. Decrease the
flashing digit by pressing the ZERO key. Pressing the PRINT key or the TARE key will change
the position of the flashing digit.

4. After setting the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value.
5. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "EndC1" momentarily, then revert back
up to F17. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see
Section 6.4).
6. If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the
indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration.
"Err0" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is larger than the full
capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data.
"Err1" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is smaller than 1% of the full
capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data.
"Err2" - The internal resolution of the scale is not high enough to accept the calibration value.
Select a larger parameter for the Span Gain (F2). SEE APPENDIX C FOR MORE
INFORMATION.
6.4 VIEW CALIBRATION VALUES (F18)
Note: The values displayed in this procedure are valid only after a successful calibration has been
performed using F16 and F17.
1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 18", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter
View calibration menu.
2. The display will momentarily show "CAL 0" followed by a value. This value is the zero
calibration value and should be recorded in the table below. Press any key to continue.
3. The display will momentarily show "CAL 1" followed by another value. This value is the span
calibration value and should also be recorded in the table below. Press any key to return to
upper level (F18).

6.5 KEY-IN ZERO CALIBRATION VALUE (F19)
Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss.
A valid zero calibration value, obtained from a successful F16 calibration procedure, must
be used.
1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 19", then scroll down once using the ZERO key.
2. The display will momentarily show "CAL 0", followed by a flashing zero. Use the four
directional keys (shown in Figure 6-1) to adjust the displayed value to the zero calibration
value.
3. After setting the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value.
4. The display will show "E CAL 0" momentarily, then revert back up to F19.
