2CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION This chapter outlines the basic installation of the 60 Series instruments. Please take the time to review these important guidelines. IMPORTANT! The 60 Series indicators do not include an on/off switch, and therefore must be installed near a power outlet socket that is easily accessible and in keeping with UL/CSA safety standards.
60 SERIES INDICATORS polycarbonate material, which may scratch due to aggressive cleaning. Care must be taken to avoid such damage. Connections from the load cell to the single channel input require gaining access to J1 inside the sealed enclosure. In addition, peripherals and options can be interfaced to 60 Series instruments by means of connections within the enclosure. However, physically accessing the unit may void the warranty.

3CHAPTER 3: CALIBRATION The 60 Series indicators can be calibrated several ways. The following method is a quick calibration procedure and assumes that the necessary parameters are selected before the actual calibration is performed (i.e. full scale value, graduation size, etc.). Your local GSE distributor will normally set up these parameters. QUICK CALIBRATION A certified weight is required to perform a calibration. Serious inaccuracies could result from using non-certified standards for calibration.
60 SERIES INDICATORS The calibration selections are as follows, starting with New Zero?: • New Zero? • Last Zero? • Temp Zero? • Only Zero? • Cal Reset • Known Load Cell • NEW ZERO? New Zero? is the selection for establishing the first or a new calibration. If New Zero? is selected, the controller displays the dead load (which might not be in precise units) that is present on the scale. The controller assumes a “NO LOAD” condition. Remove the load, and press [ENTER].
CHAPTER 3:CALIBRATION • If the calibration is not accurate, press [CLR]. The controller will return to the New Zero? prompt. Repeat the above steps to calibrate. If the calibration weight was less than 5% of capacity, or if there was a large change in the calibration, the controller prompts ReCal Req’d. Press [ENTER] and repeat the calibration, or press [CLR] to obtain the CAL OK? prompt as described above and override the re-calibration requirement.
60 SERIES INDICATORS TEMP ZERO? Temp Zero? is used to recalibrate without establishing a new zero. In some applications you might want to perform a calibration without removing the currently applied load. This is particularly useful in tank weighing applications where it is both time-consuming and costly to drain the tank being weighed. During the calibration procedure, at the Temp Zero? prompt you press [ENTER].
CHAPTER 3:CALIBRATION 1. Remove all weight from the scale. 2. Access the Calibration Mode (see page 23). 3. Press [SELECT] to toggle to the Only Zero? routine. 4. At the Only Zero? prompt, press [ENTER]. The displayed value zeroes out. Adj Zero! is displayed briefly, followed by CAL OK?. 5. Press [ENTER] to accept the newly established zero, or [CLR] to repeat the calibration. 9. At the Enter = Save prompt, press [ENTER] 10.
60 SERIES INDICATORS Once the Cal Reset is performed, the controller returns to the New Zero? prompt. Press [SELECT] to toggle to the desired calibration routine. Following a Cal Reset, a re-calibration should be performed before exiting the calibration or Setup Modes. The reset will not be saved unless a recalibration is performed and changes are saved. KNOWN LOAD CELL? Known Load Cell is used to calibrate without test weights. The exact full scale mV/V rating must be known for each load cell.
CHAPTER 3:CALIBRATION 9. Key in the full scale capacity for the load cell(s) and press [ENTER]. For the Model 460, use the [PRINT] and [UNITS] keys to enter numeric values. Refer to Table 2: 460 Key Functions on page 8. - or Press [ENTER] to accept the displayed value. 10. The display briefly shows Updtg Gains as it updates the gain values, then prompts CurWt Zero?. 11. Press [ENTER] to establish the current input signal as the zero reference. - or Press [SELECT] to display Zero=0mVv?.
60 SERIES INDICATORS check the accuracy of the calibration by weight without leaving the Calibration Mode. If the calibration was accurate, press [ENTER]. The indicator will prompt you to save the new calibration plus any other changes you made. Press [ENTER] to save, then [ENTER] again to exit. If the calibration is not accurate, press [CLR]. The indicator will return to the New Zero? prompt.
4CHAPTER 4: COUNTING MODE The front panel keys on the 60 Series take on different functions depending on the selected mode. This chapter will define the front panel key operation for the Counting Mode. COUNTING MODE (KEY OPERATION) To activate the counting operation, the indicator must be in the Quantity mode. To access the Quantity mode on a Model 460, the quantity mode must be in the selectable modes of instrument operation.
60 SERIES INDICATORS NEGATIVE SAMPLING TO DETERMINE A PIECE WEIGHT In order to perform a negative sample routine, access the Quantity mode, place a full or partially full container of parts on the scale, and press [ENTER]. The indicator will then perform an auto-tare resulting in a zero net weight. The display will then prompt you to Add xx where the "xx" is the sample size. In this case, the prompt Add xx actually means take parts from the container.
CHAPTER 4:COUNTING MODE 3. Press [ENTER]. The indicator tares to a zero net weight. The display shows the current net weight and the prompt: Add 10. 4. Place the specified number of parts on the scale. 5. Press [ENTER]. The indicator then calculates the piece weight of the sample parts and momentarily displays the maximum number of parts which may be added for a piece weight enhancement to occur. The minimum achieved accuracy is then displayed. 6.
60 SERIES INDICATORS COUNTING MODE LISTING The [SELECT] key will advance to the next mode. Alternatively, keying a mode number then pressing [SELECT] will change the current mode to be the mode whose number was keyed in. The following six modes are counting related. Any one of these parameter numbers listed may be printed out on a ticket.
5CHAPTER 5: ACCUMULATION MODE 60 Series controllers offer three main memory registers into which weighing data may be accumulated. The three registers are the Gross Total, Net Total and the Quantity Total. PERFORMING ACCUMULATIONS First, enter the desired “Accumulation Mode” either by pressing the [SELECT] key until one of the Accumulation Modes appears on the display or key in one of the accumulation parameters directly. Refer to Table 4: Accumulation Mode Numbers on page 36.
60 SERIES INDICATORS The [ZERO] + [ENTER] keys on the Model 460 or the [CLR] key on all other 60 Series may be used to reset both the net and Gross Totals to zero. The prompt CLEAR ACS? will appear briefly followed by ENTER =CLR!. Press [ENTER] to complete the clearing or press any other key to abort the clear operation.
6CHAPTER 6: ADDITIONAL OPERATING MODES We have taken popular application files and incorporated them into the firmware in an easy to use menu format. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the choices or the [SELECT] key on the Model 460 and press [ENTER] to setup the chosen application file. An explanation of each application file can be found at the bottom of the display on the LCD models only. With 5 different display choices available on the 60 series instruments, menu selections may vary in appearance.
60 SERIES INDICATORS Note: If the ID# does not exist you will be prompted to add default number of pieces to store a new APW. [CLR] will abort the process. PRINT APW’S – PRINTS ALL STORED RECORDS IN ROW/COLUMN FORMAT. 1. 2. 3. 4. Press [TARGET] or [F2]. Prompt = “Delete ID# XXX?”. Press [CLR/NO] to advance to print mode. Press [ENTER] to print stored APW’s in row/column format. Indicator returns to the gross mode. CLEAR ONE APW – CLEARS CURRENT RECORD FROM THE DATABASE. 1. 2. Press [TARGET] or [F2].
CHAPTER 6:ADDITIONAL OPERATING MODES TRUCK IN/OUT (MODELS 465,560,562 AND 660 SERIES) Used for vehicle weighing where product is being loaded or unloaded. TRUCK IN Weigh the vehicle in. 1. 2. 3. 4. With the truck on the scale. Press [F1]. Prompt = “Key In ID#”. Press [ENTER] for Automatic ID# or key-in the ID number and press [ENTER]. The indicator flashes Weigh In and returns to the gross mode. If a printer is connected, a ticket will automatically be printed.
60 SERIES INDICATORS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press [TARGET] or [F2]. Prompt = “Print ID’s?”. Press [CLR/NO]. Prompt = “Clear One?”. Press [ENTER]. Prompt = “ID to Delet”. Key in the ID number to be deleted and press [ENTER]. If the ID number is not stored in the database, “Not Found” will be displayed briefly. The indicator returns to the weigh mode. Otherwise, if the ID number was found “Done” will be displayed briefly and the indicator will return to the weigh mode.
CHAPTER 6:ADDITIONAL OPERATING MODES CHECK WEIGH ABSOLUTE AND PERCENTAGE OPERATION The standard check-weigh operation is designed to check the weight of an item against a given standard or target weight. In the check weigh absolute mode, values are entered as target limits. In the check weigh percent mode, the values are entered based on percentage. SET THE HI AND LO WEIGHTS (460) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press [SELECT] until prompt = “mName SETUP”. Press [TARE] prompt =”10.
60 SERIES INDICATORS Note: if the weight is greater than the high limit then the prompt OVER” is displayed. If the weight is less than the low limit the prompt “UNDER” is displayed. If the weight is between the high and low limits then prompt “GOOD” is displayed. BATCHING OPERATION (465,560 AND 562) FILL SETTING SETPOINTS, PREACT, AND DRIBBLES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Press [TARGET] or [F2] prompt = “current setpoint value + SP 1”. Key in Setpoint value.
7CHAPTER 7: TIME AND DATE (CLOCK FEATURE) The 560 and 660 Series indicators include a battery backed time/date feature. The 460/465 have an optional battery backed time/date module. Without this option on the 460 Series, the time/date will be reset when power is lost. This means that when the feature is used, the time and date does not need to be entered every time the instrument is powered up. The time/date feature permits printouts with time and day of the week and the date in many possible formats.
60 SERIES INDICATORS displayed. Press [ENTER] if the date is correct and move to the Time setting mode. The new time is entered by keying in "HH.MM.SS" in a 24-hour format. Hours and minutes entries must be separated by a decimal point. Seconds entry is optional, and if omitted, they are set to zero. To specify seconds, it also must be separated from minutes by a decimal point. Leading zeroes need not be entered. For example, if you enter "8.9.
8CHAPTER 8: LEGAL-FOR-TRADE The 60 Series parameter setup does not ensure compliance with legal-fortrade installations as mandated by local weights and measures authorities. This chapter explains how to configure the 60 Series controllers to comply with various regulations and describes other features that will make your controller suitable for installations worldwide. Legal-for-trade requirements vary by location. Ensure that your controller is installed in accordance with all local regulations.
60 SERIES INDICATORS NTEP The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is a widely accepted weights and measures standard in the United States. Most states abide by some or all of the requirements set forth by NTEP. A complete list of these regulations is available in the “Handbook 44” publication distributed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For more information on this and other NIST publications, visit their web site at http://www.nist.gov.
CHAPTER 8:LEGAL-FOR-TRADE NTEP CUSTOM SETUP The “Custom Setup” parameter, P60205 of the information parameters, displays a list of parameters, which, if configured improperly, could facilitate fraud in a legal-for-trade installation. A weights and measures inspector might check this parameter and inquire about the configuration of any parameters that appear in this list.
60 SERIES INDICATORS P205 will appear in the “Custom Setup” list for each receive port enabled. For example, if the receive mode is enabled for all four ports, the list will display P205—, P205˜, P205™, and P205š. P240 – Minimum Transmit Width A weight value that cannot be displayed due to the 6-digit limitation of the standard VF display may not be printed. To ensure this is not possible, P240 must be set to a width of not greater than 7 (6 digits and a decimal point). NTEP must also be enabled at P440.
CHAPTER 8:LEGAL-FOR-TRADE SEALING AND AUDIT TRAILS Most legal-for-trade installations will require the indicator to be sealed. A sealed indicator cannot be accessed for setup or calibration changes without breaking a physical seal or incrementing an event counter, thus providing evidence that the unit has been tampered with.
