2.1 Front view of the indicator

1

2.1.1 Display
Display consists of 6 digit 7-segment LED's (red / blue). On power ON the
indicator checks itself by an automatic display check. On completion of the
check the controller enters into weighing mode.

2.1.2 Keypad

Used to enter parameter configuration modes if

MENU pressed during weighing mode

TARE key is used to tare a specific amount of weight eg.

TARE Empty container weight so as to display net weight
which is indicated by the NET status LED on the display.
To clear the Tare value, press this key again & the
indicator will again show gross weight.
On pressing ZERO key the weight will be zeroed & the
ZERO zero status LED will be ON only if the current weight
is in valid zero range which is 4% of the full scale capacity.

1)Used to add a LSB digit on display during configuration

or calibration.
2)Used to hold the value of the weight reading
on the display.

1)Used to increment the LSB from 0 to 9 and back to 0

during the parameter setting or calibration.
2)Used for Accumulation function.

1)Used to confirm a particular amended parameter in

ENTER configuration mode.
2)Used to enter into the settings of the parameter

2 currently shown on the display if pressed after MENU key.

weight is tared by pressing TARE key.
Zero Glows when the indicated value on the display is zero.
Under To indicate that the measured weight is less than acceptable
limits if Tolerance-Check Mode is enabled.
Accept To indicate that the measured weight is within the
acceptable limits if Tolerance-Check Mode is enabled.
Over To indicate that the measured weight is more than
acceptable limits if Tolerance-Check Mode is enabled.
