1 INTRODUCTION
This manual was created to help you install and learn all about the functional possibilities of the purchased
indicator.
The instrument is suitable for use in various weighing environments.
Not only does it have all the normal features of high-precision scales, but it also gives you the possibility to
work in specific environments due to the functioning modes contained in the software implemented in the
FLASH MEMORY on the internal board. This makes the instrument extremely flexible and it can be used in
many different industrial applications linked to weighing. The touch screen, the alphanumerical and
function keyboard, allow the operator an easy and immediate use and provide the microcontroller with
DATA ENTRY functions in addition to the normal weighing functions. The input/output allows the
instrument to control various external devices, to receive external commands, control a printer and
communicate with a personal computer or to be inserted in a network of weight indicators controlled by a
PC.
Please note that this instrument is covered by a warranty and MUST NOT BE OPENED BY THE
USER for any reason whatsoever. Any attempt to repair or modify the unit exposes the user to the
risk of electric shock and will invalidate the entire warranty.
If any problems are found in the unit or with the system in which it is used, the fact must be
communicated to the manufacturer or the dealer from whom it was purchased.
In any case, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY before taking any action.
Do not pour liquids on the weight indicator.
Do not use solvents to clean the weight indicator.
Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight nor place it near heat sources.
Place or anchor the weight indicator and platform on a non-vibrating base.
All the connections of the indicator have to be made respecting the rules applicable in the zone and in
the installing environment.
Everything not expressly described in this manual has to be considered as improper use of the equipment.
WARNING
INTRODUCTION
8
Do not install in any area where there is a risk of explosion.
The crossed-out wheeled bin on the product means that at the product end of life, it must be
taken to separate collection or to the reseller when a new equivalent type of equipment is
purchased. The adequate differentiated refuse collection in having the product recycled,
helps to avoid possible negative effects on the environment and health and supports the
recycling of the materials of which the equipment is made. The unlawful disposal of the product by the user
will entail fines foreseen by the current regulations.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Case and dimensions
The indicator has an STAINLESS STEEL case, whose external dimensions are shown in the Figure 1. It can be
simply put on a table or fixed to a shelf or column available on request.
NOTE: If the identification plate is supplied separately (therefore not attached to the indicator), it is
advisable to attach it to the indicator, in order to be able to identify the instrument.

3.2 Power supply
The indicator is powered with 12Vdc voltage (8 ÷ 36 Vdc in the IO version), through an internal adapter
which converts the 100 ÷ 240Vac, 50÷60Hz mains voltage.
To power the instrument through the 240 Vac mains insert the plug and the adapter to the 240 Vac mains
socket.
To connect the indicator to the power mains, the safety regulations must be observed, including
the use of a "clean" line without disturbances or interference caused by other electronic equipment.
Do not connect other equipment to the same socket as the one that the adapter is in.
Do not step on or crush the power supply cable.

Step
Description
Light
1
The manual dosage does not start (cross light turned off)
2
The manual dosage is at maximum speed (yellow light turned on)
3
The manual dosed weight is within tolerance (green light turned
on)
4
The manual dosed weight is over target (red light turned on)
FUNCTIONING:
The function of light control is:
The light are enabled depending on the weight reached during the manual dosage:
WEIGHT
TARGET-TOL. TARGET TARGET+TOL.
RED
ON
ON
GREEN

YELLOW
ON
ON
The operator gives the START impulse; the yellow light is enabled.
The operator starts dosing in an approximate mode, in other words, at maximum speed.
Once the weight is greater than (TARGET - TOLERANCE) and lower than TARGET, the green is
enabled, while yellow light remains active. The operator can continue the dosage to reach the
TARGET weight.
Once the weight reaches TARGET, the yellow light turns off, only the green light remains active.
Once the weight is greater than TARGET and lower than (TARGET + TOLERANCE), the red light is
enabled, while the green light remains active indicating that the weight is still within tolerance. The
operator can continue the dosage until the green light is on.
Once the weight is greater than (TARGET + TOLERANCE), the green light is disabled, only the red
light remains active.
