1.3 Operating Modes
The 480 has four modes of operation.
Weigh Mode
Weigh mode is the default mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as required, using the
annunciators described in Section 1.6 on page 4 to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed.
Configuration Mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual, including calibration, require the indicator to be in configuration
mode.
To enter configuration mode:
1. Remove the setup switch access screw from the back of the enclosure. See Figure 2-1 on page 10.
2. Insert a non-conductive tool into the access hole and press the configuration switch. Indicator display
changes to show CONFIG.
User Menu Setup Mode
The user menu setup mode is used to access the accumulator functions, audit trail, display the tare, unit id, time and
date, setpoints, data communications parameters, print formats and view the firmware version.
It is accessible by pressing the Menu key on the front panel.
See Section 3.1 for more information about the user setup mode.
Test Mode
Test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the 480 indicator. See Section 9.13 on page 70 for more
information about entering and using test mode.

The Menu key is used to access the User Setup menu.
Sets the current gross weight to zero, provided the amount of weight to be removed or added is within the
specified zero range and the scale is not in motion. The zero band is defaulted to two percent of full scale, but can
be configured for up to 100 percent of full scale.
Also used as a move up key to navigate to different menu levels or used to increment a number when editing a
value.
Switches the weight display to an alternate unit. The alternate unit is defined in the Configuration menu, and could
be kg, g, lb, oz, tn or t.
Also used as a scroll left key to navigate to different menus or to toggle to another digit when editing a value.
Sends on-demand print format out the serial port, provided the conditions for standstill are met. Print may be
displayed while printing.
Also used as a scroll right key to navigate to different menus or to toggle to another digit when editing a value.
Performs one of several predetermined Tare functions dependent on the mode of operation selected in the
TAREFN parameter. See Section 1.8.7 for more information on viewing stored tares.
Also acts as an enter key for numeric or parameter entry.
Switches the display mode from gross to net, or from net to gross. If a tare value has been entered or acquired,
the net value is the gross weight minus the tare.
Gross mode is shown by the Gross/Brutto annunciator; net mode is shown by the Net annunciator.
Also used as a move down key to navigate to different menu levels or to decrement a number when editing a
value.
During a numeric entry, sets the currently selected digit to 0, then selects one digit to the right.

1.6 LED Annunciators
The 480 display uses a set of eight LED annunciators to provide additional information about the value being
displayed.
LED
Description
Gross/Brutto LED
Gross weight display mode (or Brutto in OIML mode)
Net LED
Net weight display mode
Zero (Center of Zero) LED
The Center of Zero LED indicates that the current gross weight reading is within +/- 0.25 display divisions of the
acquired zero, or is within the center of zero band.
A display division is the resolution of the displayed weight value, or the smallest incremental increase or decrease
that can be displayed or printed.
Standstill LED
Scale is at standstill or within the specified motion band. Some operations, including zero, tare and print, can only
be done when the standstill LED is on.
lb/kg LED
Displays which unit of measure is being used.
lb and kg annunciators indicate the units associated with the displayed value: lb = pounds, kg = kilograms.
The displayed units can also be set to short tons (tn), metric tons (t), ounces (oz), grams (g) or none (no units
information displayed). The lb and kg LEDs function as primary and secondary units annunciators. If neither
primary nor secondary units are lb or kg, the lb annunciator is lit for primary units and kg is lit for secondary units.
T LED
Indicates that a push-button tare weight has been acquired and stored in memory.
PT LED
Indicates that a preset tare weight has been keyed in or entered and stored in memory.

2.0 Installation
2.1 Unpacking
Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the 480 to ensure all components are included and undamaged. The
shipping carton should contain the indicator, this manual, and a parts kit. If any parts were damaged in shipment,
notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.
See Section 2.8 on page 18 for parts kit contents.
2.2 Enclosure Disassembly
The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect the scale load cell cable and any other interface connection.
WARNING Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.
Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then place the indicator face-down on an anti-static work mat.
Remove the screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body. Then lift the backplate away from the enclosure
and turn it over to access boards.
The display cable will still be attached. Be careful when lifting and turning over the backplate so it does
Important not become damaged or dislodged.
2.3 Cable Connections
The 480 provides four cord grips for cabling into the indicator: one for the power cord, three to accommodate load
cell, communications, digital inputs and outputs, and analog output cables. Two of the three free cord grips come
with a plug installed to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. Depending on the application, remove the
plug from any cord grip that will be used and install cables as required. Figure 2-1 shows the recommended
assignments for the 480 cord grips.

Cable Grounding
Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the indicator
enclosure. Do the following to ground shielded cables:
• Use the ground clamp screws to install grounding clamps on the grounding bar. Do not tighten screws yet.
There is a larger clamp available in the parts kit; the larger clamp is for a cable diameter of 0.25 inch, the
smaller clamp is for a cable diameter of 0.18 inch
• Route cables through cord grips and grounding clamps to determine cable lengths required to reach cable
connectors. Mark cables to remove insulation and shield as described below:
• For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation and foil from the cable 1/2inch (15 mm) past the
grounding clamp (see Figure 2-2). Fold the foil shield back on the cable where the cable passes through
the clamp. Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the grounding clamp.
• For cables with braided shielding, strip cable insulation and braided shield from a point just past the
grounding clamp. Strip another 1/2 inch (15 mm) of insulation to only expose the braid where the cable
passes through the clamp (see Figure 2-2).
• For load cell cables, cut the shield wire just past the grounding clamp. Shield wire function is provided
by contact between the cable shield and the grounding clamp.
• Route stripped cables through cord grips and grounding clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding
clamps as shown in Figure 2-2. Tighten ground clamp screws.

2.4 Battery Operation
The 480 can be equipped with an optional internal Lithium-Ion battery to provide up to:
• 18 hours of continuous use (single load cell, 350 ohms, no options)
• 15 hours of continuous use (four load cell, 350 ohms, no options)
When operated on AC power, the internal battery is automatically charged by means of an internal battery charger circuit.
Battery life depends on several factors, including number of load cells, frequency of use, options installed,
temperature and other accessories being used. Battery charge time is approximately 16 hours to 100 percent.
To extend battery life, the indicator features a sleep mode that allows the indicator to go into a low power mode
while it’s operating on battery power. See Section 9.6 on page 65 for more information about the sleep mode.
When installing a 480 with a battery option, it is recommended that the CPU board jumper 4 be removed.
Note Removing jumper 4 will maximize the life of the battery when the indicator is turned off due to reduced
standby current. See the Power parameter in Section 3-8 on page 31 for more information.
When the Standby parameter is set to any setting other than NONE, any key press will work to wake the
indicator from standby.

2.5 Option Card Installation
Use the following instructions to install or replace the Analog Output Module (PN 131341), Relay Board (PN
131342) or Ethernet/USB option card (PN 164600).
1. Disconnect power to the indicator.
2. Remove backplate as described in Section 2.2 on page 10.
3. If not already in place, install an option card bracket (PN 131340). See Figure 2-3.
4. Mount the analog output module, relay card or the Ethernet/USB option card on the option card bracket. See
Figure 2-3. The Ethernet/USB option card has to be installed on the option card bracket above the A/D card,
not in the location near the power supply.
5. Connect the option card ribbon to the option card(s).
6. Connect the option card ribbon to J9 on the CPU board.
7. Connect output cables, as needed, to the option card(s).
Note
Either option card position can be used for the Analog Output Module, or the Relay Card.
The Ethernet/USB Option Card must be installed in the location above the A/D Card, not next to the Power
Supply.
2.6 Board Removal
If you must remove any 480 board, use the following procedure:
1. Disconnect power to the indicator.
2. Remove backplate as described in Section 2.2 on page 10.
3. Disconnect all cables from the board.
4. Label connections for re-installation of board.
5. Remove the four screws from the board, then lift the board off the backplate.
To install a board, reverse the above procedure. Be sure to reinstall cable ties to secure all cables inside the
indicator enclosure.
Note When removing lower boards, the upper boards and option bracket, if installed, will need to be removed first.

Important Only use the 1/4 inch screw in the top hole for sealing, using the longer one will damage the CPU board.
Allows Service Access – Optional
The calibration cover is used for inserting a lead wire seal through both fillister screws and the plastic cover. The
cover allows access to the electronics and electrical contacts, while preventing access into Legal for Trade
configuration parameters.
There is an alternative cover over the A/D to ensure the A/D and load cell connection cannot be changed after the
unit is sealed. This cover is secured to the A/D with the bottom fillister screw in the calibration cover.
There is also an audit trail counter to track calibration and configuration changes made to legally relevant
parameters.
Place the calibration cover on the backplate and secure with the existing fillister head screws and o-rings to seal the
indicator for Legal for Trade approval.

3.0 Configuration
There are two types of configuration parameters in the 480: Legal for Trade configuration and non-legal
configuration (or operator parameters). Legal for Trade configuration requires pressing the setup switch (see
Section 3.2). Non-legal configuration parameters do not require pressing the setup switch, but may be password
protected.
The following sections provide graphic representations of the 480 menu structures. In the actual menu structure,
the settings chosen under each parameter are arranged horizontally. To save page space, menu choices are shown in
vertical columns. The factory default setting appears at the top of each column in bold type. Most menu diagrams
are accompanied by a table that describes all parameters and parameter values associated with that menu.
Note Parameter level is indicated by the left LED position, levels 1-4.
See Section 1.7 on page 4 for navigation methods.
A menu map is provided on the following page for reference.

The power up functionality depends on whether the battery option is installed:
• If the battery option is not installed, the indicator turns on automatically when connected
to AC power. It turns off by disconnecting the AC power or by pressing the power key.
• If the battery option is installed, and CPU Jumper 4 is connected, the indicator turns on
automatically when connected to AC power. It turns off by disconnecting the AC power or
by pressing the power key. This configuration is not recommended due to increased
leakage current from the battery when the indicator is turned off.
• If the battery option is installed, and CPU Jumper 4 is disconnected, the indicator only
turns on and off by pressing the power key.
Indicator powers On/Off by pressing Power key.
Allows control of the LCD backlight.
OFF – backlight always off.
ON – backlight always on.
AUTO - backlight will turn off after the configured amount of time, if no buttons are pressed
and there is no change in the weight. Once either of these occurs, the backlight will turn on.
Auto time Options: 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 5 min,10 min.
Allows reading the battery level in mV units.
If there is not a battery option installed, NOBATT will display.
Note

3.2 Configuration Using the Front Panel (Legal for Trade)
The 480 indicator can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front panel when the
indicator is in configuration mode.
When the indicator is placed in configuration mode, CONFIG is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu is the
first of eight main menus used to configure the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are given in
Section 3.2.1 on page 33. When configuration is complete, return to CONFIG and press the (Zero) key to exit
configuration mode and save changes. Then replace the configuration switch access screw.
To place the indicator into the configuration mode, a configuration switch is accessed by removing the setup switch
access head screw on the enclosure back, see Figure 2-1 on page 10. The switch is activated by inserting a
non-conductive tool into the access hole after pressing the menu switch.
1. Remove setup switch access screw from back of indicator.
2. Using a non-conductive tool, press the button located in the access hole. This allows access to configuration
menus.

Graduations – specifies the number of full scale graduations. The value entered must be in
the range 1-100 000 and should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental
limits on system resolution.
Zero track band – automatically zeros the scale when within the range specified, as long as
the input is within the configured zero range (ZRANGE parameter). Selections are ± display
divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Zero range – selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 2% selection is ±
2% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 4%. Indicator must be at standstill
to zero the scale.
Initial Zero Range at power up – see Error messages HINOFF and LINOFF in Section 9.1.1
If on power up the weight value is between the ±% range specified of Calibrated Zero, the
indicator will zero off that weight. If outside that range, the indicator will display HINOFF or
LINOFF, depending on whether the initial reading is above or below the range.
Note

If not set at zero, hopper/scale MUST be empty when powered up.
Motion band – sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If
motion is not detected, the standstill symbol lights.
Some operations, including print, tare and zero, require the scale to be at standstill.
Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Note
Setting the MOTBAN setting to 0.0 disables motion sensing, the scale will
always be considered stable.

Digital filter cutout sensitivity – the light setting responds quickly to small weight changes and
is less stable. The heavy setting responds slowly to small weight changes and is more stable.
Use the heavy setting in an unstable environment.
Digital filter cutout threshold – specifies the filter threshold, in weight value. When a weight
change exceeds the value set for threshold, digital filtering is suspended. A setting of zero
disables the filter. The decimal point in the entered value is assumed, so if the display division
is 1lb, a value of 1 is equal to 1lb. If the dd is 0.1lb, a value of 1 is equal to 0.1lb.

Rolling filter stages – the number of A/D samples that are averaged in each stage.
A higher number gives a more stable display by minimizing the effect of a few noisy readings,
but slows down the settling rate of the indicator. See Section 9.11 on page 68 for more
information on digital filtering.
Rolling filter cutout sensitivity – specifies the number of consecutive readings that must fall
outside the rolling filter threshold (RFTHRH parameter) before digital filtering is suspended. If
NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled.

Description
Power up mode – when set to GO, the indicator goes into operation immediately after a brief
power up display test.
When set to DELAY, the indicator performs a power up display test and then enters a 30 second
warm-up period. If no motion is detected during the warm-up period, the indicator becomes
operational when the warm-up period ends; if motion is detected, the delay timer is reset and the
warm-up period repeated.
Regulatory mode – specifies the regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the scale site.
OIML, NTEP, and CANADA modes allow a tare to be acquired at any weight greater than zero.
NONE allows tares to be acquired at any weight value.
OIML, NTEP, and CANADA modes allow a tare to be cleared only if the gross weight is at no

0 – 999999
NONE, NTEP and CANADA modes allow the scale to be zeroed in either gross or net mode as
long as the current weight is within the specified ZRANGE. In OIML mode, the scale must be in
gross mode before it can be zeroed; pressing the ZERO key in net mode clears the tare.
Consecutive numbering. Allows sequential numbering for print operations. The consecutive
number value will increment following each print operation when the print format used contains
the <CN>, or consecutive number formatting token. This value is read only.
The initial value of this parameter is set to the start up value specified on the
CONSTU parameter. Changing CONSTU immediately resets the consecutive
number used for printing.
Consecutive number start up value. Specifies the initial consecutive number (CONSNU) value
used when the indicator is reset or configured.

3.3 Revolution® Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides another method for configuring the 480 indicator. Revolution runs on
a computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution configuration is complete,
configuration data is downloaded to the indicator. Revolution supports both uploading and downloading of
indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited
and then downloaded to another indicator with an identical hardware configuration. See Section 4.3 on page 47 and
Section 5.0 on page 49 for more information about using Revolution.
Revolution® Configuration
45
4.0 Calibration
The 480 can be calibrated using the front panel or the Revolution® configuration utility. Each method consists of
the following steps:
• Zero calibration
• Entering the test weight value
• Span calibration
• Optional rezero calibration for test weights using hooks or chains.
The following sections describe the calibration procedure for each of the calibration methods.
4.1 Front Panel Calibration
The CALIBR sub-menu is used to calibrate the 480. See Section 3.2.4 for the calibration menu structure and
parameter descriptions. To calibrate the indicator using the front panel:
1. Remove the setup switch access screw from the back of the enclosure.
2. Insert a non-conductive tool into the access hole and press the configuration switch. Indicator display
changes to show CONFIG (see Figure 2-1).
3. Press until CALIBR is displayed.
4. Remove all weight from the scale platform. If the test weights require hooks or chains, place the hooks or
chains on the scale for zero calibration.
5. Press to WZERO.
6. Press to CAL or press to view or edit the existing value.
7. Press to ENTER.
8. Press
to calibrate zero. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress. When complete, the
mV value for the zero calibration is displayed.

15. Press to WSPAN.
16. Press to CAL or press to view or edit the existing value.
17. Press to ENTER.
18. Place test weights on the scale and press
to calibrate span. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration
is in progress. When complete, the net millivolt value of the test weight for the span calibration is displayed.
Note Net mV value is equal to the raw mV value at the span minus the mV value captured for zero.
19. Press to save value and go to CAL.
20. Press to WSPAN. If using chains or hooks for your test weights, proceed with step 21.
If no chains or hooks were used, proceed with step 23.
21. Press to REZERO. The REZERO function is used to remove a calibration offset when hooks or chains are
used to hang the test weights.
22. Remove the hooks or chains used during calibration and remove the test weights from the scale. Press .
ZERO will flash. With all weight removed, press
to rezero the scale. This function adjusts the zero and
span calibration values. The indicator displays *CAL* while the zero and span calibrations are adjusted.
23. Press to return to the CALIBR menu.
24. Remove all weight from the scale. Press until the display reads CONFIG. Press to exit configuration
mode.
46
480 Legend Series
4.2 EDP Command Calibration
To calibrate the indicator using EDP commands, the indicator COM 1 port must be connected to a terminal or
computer. See Section 6.0 on page 51 for more information about using EDP commands.
Once the indicator is connected to the sending device, use the following steps:
1. Place the indicator in configuration mode (display reads CONFIG) and remove all weight from the scale
platform. If your test weights require hooks or chains, place them on the scale for zero calibration.
2. Send the SC.WZERO EDP command to calibrate zero. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in
progress.
3. Place test weights on the scale and use the SC.WVAL command to enter the test weight value in the
following format:
WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>
4. Send the SC.WSPAN EDP command to calibrate span. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in
progress.
5. To remove an offset value, clear all weight from the scale, including items used to hang test weights, and then
send the SC.REZERO EDP command. The indicator displays *CAL* while the zero and span calibrations are
adjusted.
6. Send the KUPARROW EDP command to exit configuration mode.
4.3 Revolution Calibration
To calibrate the indicator using Revolution, the indicator COM 1 port must be connected to a PC running the
Revolution configuration utility.
Use the following procedure to calibrate the indicator:
1. Select Calibration Wizard from the Revolution tools menu.
2. Revolution uploads calibration data from the indicator and presents the information in the calibration wizard,
as shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1. Revolution Calibration Display
3. Enter the Value of Test Weight to be used for span calibration and click OK.
4. The zero calibration dialog box prompts to remove all weight from the scale. Clear the scale and click OK to
begin zero calibration.
Note If the test weights require hooks or chains, place them on the scale for zero calibration.
5. When zero calibration is complete, the span calibration dialog box prompts to place test weights on the scale
for span calibration. Place test weights on the scale and click OK.
6. When calibration is complete, the New Settings fields of the indicator calibration display are filled in. Click
Exit to save the new values and return to the Revolution main menu; to restore the previous calibration values,
click Restore Settings.

4.4 More About Calibration
The following provides additional information about WVAL and how to manually tweak a calibration up or down.
WVAL
When a WVAL number is entered that uses a decimal point, the value will be rounded when displayed.
Example:
A precision value such as 2455.23 is entered by the operator, but when the operator returns to the WVAL
display, the number is rounded to 2455. A higher precision value can be entered for WVAL when the Display
division is greater than 1, such as X2, X5 or X10.
Millivolt Values
Zero is the dead weight millivolt value and Span is the test weight millivolt value, so the total millivolts equals Zero
plus Span.
4.4.1
Adjusting Final Calibration
Calibration may be affected by environmental factors including wind, vibration and angular loading.
Example:
A strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the calibration is 2 lb high. In this case, final calibration can be
tweaked by changing WVAL to 999 lb. This adjustment provides a linear correction of 1 lb per 1000 lb.
To adjust the final calibration, return to the WVAL prompt and press
to show the test weight value. Press or
to adjust calibration up or down. Press
to save the value. Press to return to the CALIBR menu.

Minimum system requirements: 166 MHz, x86-compatible, with 32MB RAM (64MB for NT4/2000/XP),
40MB disk space
Recommended system: 233 MHz, x86-compatible or greater, with 64MB RAM, 300 MB disk space
Revolution runs on most Windows® operating systems, including Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows
8.1 and Windows 10 (both 32 bit and 64 bit architectures are supported).
System requirements to run Revolution are as follows:
• 1 GHz CPU (x86-32 bit or x86-64 bit)
• 512 MB RAM
• 850 MB disk space (32 bit) or 2 GB disk space (64 bit)
5.1
Connecting to the Indicator
Connect the PC serial port to com 1 of the 480, then click Connect in the toolbar. Revolution attempts to establish
communications to the indicator. If communications settings need to be adjusted, select Options… from the Tools
menu.
Downloading to the Indicator
The Download Configuration function on the Revolution Communications menu allows a Revolution configuration
file (with or without scale calibration data) or ticket formats to be downloaded to a connected indicator in
configuration mode.
The Download Section function on the Communications menu allows the download of only the currently displayed
object, such as a scale configuration.
Because less data is transferred using the Download Section, it is typically faster than a full configuration download,
but there is an increased possibility that the download may fail due to dependencies on other objects. If the
download fails, try performing a complete download using the Download Configuration function.
Uploading Configuration to Revolution
The Upload Configuration function on the Revolution Communications menu allows the existing configuration of a
connected indicator to be saved to a file on the PC. Once saved, the configuration file provides a backup that can be
quickly restored to the indicator if needed. Alternatively, the file can be edited within Revolution and downloaded
back to the indicator.
5.2
Saving and Transferring Data
Revolution has a module to save and transfer data. It is the preferred method over using ProComm or Hyper
Note Terminal.
5.2.1Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer
Configuration data can be saved to a computer connected to the selected port. The PC must be running a
communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS®.
When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values set for the baud and bits parameters on the serial menu
match the baud rate, bits and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC.
To save all configuration data, first put the communications program into data capture mode, then place the
indicator in configuration mode and send the DUMPALL command to the indicator. The 480 responds by sending
all configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.
5.2.2
Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator
Configuration data saved on a PC or disc can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful
when a number of indicators with similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced.
Connecting to the Indicator
49
To download configuration data, connect the PC to the selected port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the
indicator in configuration mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to
the indicator. When transfer is complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 4.0.

EDP Commands
Note EDP commands are case sensitive. Commands must be entered in upper case.
The 480 indicator can be controlled by a computer or remote keyboard connected to one of the indicator’s
communication ports. Control is provided by a set of EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press
functions, display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. This section describes the EDP
command set.
6.1
The EDP Command Set
The EDP command set can be divided into five groups: key press commands, reporting commands, the
RESETCONFIGURATION special function command, parameter setting commands and transmit weight data
commands.
When the indicator processes an EDP command, it responds with the message OK. The OK response verifies that
the command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the
indicator responds with ??.
The following sections list the commands and command syntax used for each of these groups.
6.1.1
Key Press Commands
Key press EDP commands (see Table 6-1) simulate pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator. Most
commands can be used in both setup and weighing mode. Several of the commands serve as pseudo keys,
providing functions that are not represented by a key on the front panel.
For example, to enter a 15 pound tare weight using EDP commands:
1. Type K1 and press Enter (or Return).
2. Type K5 and press Enter.
3. Type KTARE and press Enter. The display shifts to net mode when the tare is entered.

This command is equivalent to using the DEFLT function on the TEST menu. See Section 9.1.2 for more
information about test mode and using the TEST menu.
Note All load cell calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.
6.1.4
Parameter Setting Commands
Parameter setting commands allow the display or change of the current value for a particular configuration
parameter.
Current configuration parameter settings can be displayed in either setup mode or weigh mode using the following
syntax:

Print Formatting
The 480 provides multiple print formats, GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT and SPFMT, that determine the format of the
printed output when the Print key is pressed. If a tare has been entered or acquired, NFMT is used; otherwise,
GFMT is used.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 300 characters of information, such as company name and
address, on printed tickets. Use the indicator front panel (PFORMT menu) to customize the print formats.
Display will only show capital letters. Press the down arrow to view the ASCII character decimal value on the
Note second menu level. Refer to Table 9-6 on page 72 and Table 9-7 on page 73 to view the ASCII character
charts.
7.1
Print Formatting Tokens
Table 7-1 lists tokens that can be used to configure the print formats. Tokens included in the format strings must be
enclosed between < and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on the ticket. Text
characters can include any ASCII character that can be printed by the output device.

The 300 character limit of each print format string includes the output field length of the print formatting
tokens, not the token length. For example, if the indicator is configured to show a decimal point, the <G> token
generates an output field of 13 characters: the 10 character weight value (including decimal point), one space,
and a two-digit units identifier.
PT (preset tare) is added to the tare weight if tare was keyed in.
7.2
Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT and SPFMT formats
using the front panel (PFORMT menu). See Figure 3-6 for print format menu structure.
7.2.1
Using the Front Panel
Use the PFORMT menu to customize the print formats.
Using the PFORMT menu (see Figure 3-6), edit the print format strings by changing the decimal values of the
ASCII characters in the format string.
Note
Some characters cannot be displayed on the 480 front panel (see the ASCII character charts on page 72 and
page 73) and are shown as blanks. The 480 can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed
depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

Setpoints
The 480 indicator provides eight configurable setpoints for control of both indicator and external equipment
functions. Setpoints can be configured to perform actions or functions based on specified parameter conditions.
Parameters associated with various setpoint kinds can, for example, be configured to perform functions (print, tare,
accumulate), to change the state of a digital output controlling indicator or external equipment functions, or to
make conditional decisions.
Note Weight-based setpoints are tripped by values specified in primary units only.
Important Firmware versions 1.00 and 1.01 require having a relay board installed for the setpoints to operate.
8.1
Batch and Continuous Setpoints
480 setpoints can be either continuous or batch.
Continuous setpoints are free-running; the indicator constantly monitors the condition of free-running setpoints at
each A/D update. The specified setpoint action or function is performed when the designated setpoint parameter
conditions are met. A digital output or function assigned to a free-running setpoint continuously changes state,
becoming active or inactive, as defined by the setpoint parameters.
Batch setpoint (BATSEQ = ON) is a digital output associated with a batch setpoint is active until the setpoint condition
is met. Then it is latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.
To use batch setpoints, set the batching (BATCHG) parameter on the setpoints (SETPTS) menu. This parameter
defines whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously after receiving a
single batch start signal, while MANUAL sequences only run through once for each Batch Start signal. The batch
start signal can be initiated by a digital input (set to BATSTR), or an EDP command (BATSTART).
For a setpoint to be used as part of a batch sequence, its batch sequence (BATSEQ) parameter must be set to ON. If
a setpoint is defined and enabled, but its Batch Sequence parameter is set to OFF, the setpoint operates as a
continuous setpoint even during batch sequences.
In applications that contain both batch setpoint routines and continuous setpoints, it is good practice to keep
Note continuous setpoints separate from the batch sequence.
Do not assign them the same digital output.

480 Legend Series
9.1.2 Using the XE EDP Command
The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query the 480 for the error conditions shown on the front panel.
The XE command returns two five digit numbers in the format:
xxxxx yyyyy
where xxxxx contains a decimal representation of any existing error conditions as described in Table 9-2.
If more than one error condition exists, the number returned is the sum of the values representing the error
conditions. For example, if the XE command returns the number 1040, this value represents the sum of an A/D
reference error (1024) and an A/D calibration checksum error (16).
The second number returned (yyyyy) uses the same bit assignments as shown in Table 9-2 to indicate whether the
test for the error condition was run. For example, the value yyyyy = 50815 represents the decimal equivalent of the
binary value 1100 0110 0111 1111. Using the bit assignments in Table 9-2, this value indicates all tests were run.

Status Messages
Two EDP commands, P and ZZ, can be used to provide status about the indicator. These commands are described
in the following sections.
9.2.1 P EDP Command
The P EDP command returns the current displayed weight value, along with the units identifier. If the indicator is
in an underrange or overload condition, the weight value is replaced with &&&&&& (overload) or :::::: (underrange).
9.2.2 ZZ EDP Command
The ZZ EDP command can be used to remotely query which annunciators are currently displayed on the indicator
front panel. The ZZ command returns the currently displayed weight and a decimal number representing the LED
annunciators currently lit. The format of the returned data is:
wwwwww uu
zzz
where wwwwww uu is the current displayed weight and units, and zzz is the annunciator status value (see Table 9-3).
If more than one annunciator is lit, ZZZ is the sum of the values representing the active annunciators.
Status Messages
61
Example:
If the annunciator status value returned on the ZZ command is 145, the gross, standstill and lb annunciators are lit.
The number 145 represents the sum of the values for the standstill annunciator (128), gross mode annunciator (16)
and the lb/primary units annunciator (1).

Local/Remote Operation
For systems that require two locations, local/remote support provides function equivalent to that of a Legal for
Trade remote display with keypad. Scale data from the local indicator is also displayed at the remote unit, and
keypad input from the remote allows transactions to be initiated from either the local or remote unit.
To configure for local/remote operation, set STREAM to local or remote. Once the local unit scale has been
configured, use the SERIAL menu, serial commands or Revolution to set the serial parameters for local/remote
operation. See Table 3-3 on page 26 for comport options.

9.5
Audit Trail Support
Audit trail support provides tracking information for configuration and calibration events. To prevent potential
misuse, all configuration and calibration changes are counted as change events.
Audit trail information can be printed from Revolution or by sending the DUMPAUDIT serial command. See
Figure 3-1 on page 22. Revolution can be used to display audit trail information. The audit trail display includes the
legally relevant (LR) version number (firmware version for the code that provides audit trail information), a
calibration count and, if REGULA=NTEP or Canada, a configuration count. The exact format of the information
shown depends on the regulatory agency specified for the REGULA (PROGRM menu) parameter.
See Section 1.8.10 on page 7 for steps to view the Audit Trail.
For NTEP and Measurement Canada modes, there are two numbers displayed: configuration and calibration. The
configuration number tracks changes to the legally relevant configuration parameter changes. The calibration
number tracks changes to the scale calibration.
In OIML mode, the only number displayed is audit trail. The audit trail number is incremental for any legally
relevant configuration parameter changes and all calibration changes. The last date the scale was calibrated is also
displayed.
9.6
Sleep Mode
Firmware version 1.03 and newer of the 480 features a sleep mode. It is designed to place the indicators into a low
power mode to reduce power consumption.
The sleep mode will only activate if the indicator is operating on its internal optional battery. If connected to
external AC power, the indicator will not go into sleep mode regardless of the parameter settings.
The indicator will enter the sleep mode, after the time specified in the SLEEP parameter, when no keypad activity is
detected and the displayed weight is below the weight threshold (WGTHRH). Setting the sleep parameter to never
disables the sleep mode.
Standby
While in sleep mode, at a time specified in the standby (STDBY) parameter, the indicator wakes up for about 0.5
seconds. The range of the standby time is 1 to 60 seconds. During the awake time, it checks for a change in weight
greater than the display division threshold (DDTHRH), or if the weight has gone above the weight threshold
(WGTHRH). It also checks to see if a key is being pressed and performs zero tracking.
Local/Remote Operation
65
Example:
If the standby parameter set to 1 second, the weight threshold to 100, and the display division threshold is set to
10d, once in sleep mode, the indicator will wake up every second for about half a second to check to see if a key is
being pressed, the weight threshold is over 100 (WGTHRH), or the weight has change more than 10d (DDTHRH)
since the last time it checked.
Setting the standby parameter to a higher value reduces the amount of time the indicator is awake, this will increase
battery life.
An OFF setting stops the indicator from waking up. The only way to wake up the indicator is to press the Power key.
The Power key is the only key that will wake the indicator, unless the Standby parameter is set to any setting
Note other than NONE. Then any key press will work to wake the indicator from standby.
9.7
Internal Battery Option
In Firmware version 1.03 and later, an optional internal rechargeable Li-ion battery is available. The battery can
replace the AC power when needed. Typical run time is 12 hours (single load cell, no options, with LED display).
The amount of time the indicator will operate on the battery depends on:
• Type of display (LED)
• If sleep mode is used or not
• How may load cells are attached
• What options are installed
The battery is automatically charged when the indicator is connected to AC power. It automatically switches to
battery power if the AC power is removed. The battery is designed to only be charged by connecting to AC power.
When operating on battery power, the indicator features a sleep mode that allows the indicator to go into a low
power mode. Using the sleep mode helps improve battery life. See Section 9.6 for more information about the sleep
mode.
When the battery life reaches 5-10 percent of capacity, the Lo Bat flashes on the display. When the battery life is
less than 5 percent, it will flash faster, at 0 percent, the indicator will turn off. Battery charge time is approximately
16 hours to 100 percent.
9.8
USB Option
In firmware version 1.03 and later, an optional Ethernet/USB board is supported.
The USB connection is capable of being either of the following:
• USB device (connected to a PC and appearing as an available communication port)
• USB host interface to a flash drive
• USB interface to printer
The mode of the USB option is selected in the User Menu.
9.8.1
HOST
When set to HOST mode, the USB port can be connected to a USB connection on a PC. An HCC Driver is required
on the PC.
The HCC driver is available on a CD (PN 171153) that is included with the USB/Ethernet Option. Use the
documentation (PN 171152) for the option to install the driver on the PC.
When connected to a PC, the connection will appear to applications as another serial communications port. Using
the USB trigger parameter in the 482 user menu, it is possible to set the port to act as both a serial command port
and demand print port (DEMAND), or as a serial command port only (COMAND). All EDP serial commands can be
used through the USB HOSTPC port.The USB port cannot be used to stream data.
9.8.2 Flash Drive
When set to Drive mode, the USB port can be connected to a flash drive to allow the upload and download of the
indicator configuration parameters. The data is written to the drive in a FAT32 system format; no special drivers are
required.
To use with a flash drive, first configure the USB parameter in the user menu to DRIVE. Saving the configuration to
the drive, or loading it from the drive, can only be done in the configuration menu.

When set to PRINTR mode, the USB port can be connected to a USB printer using an appropriate USB cable.
To configure (see Section 3.1.4 on page 29):
1. Set the USB port to PRINTR.
2. Set the trigger to DEMAND.
3. Press the Print key or call a remote print command to print to the USB printer.
9.9
Ethernet Option
In firmware version 1.03 and later, an optional Ethernet/USB board is supported.
With the Ethernet option installed, the 480 can either be connected directly to a PC via the Ethernet connection, or
to an Ethernet network.
The 480 Ethernet option will support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other a client. It can be set
up with a static, or DHCP-provided IP address. Both ports can be used to communicate to the indicator using all the
available serial EDP commands. Both ports can be set to print on demand and can stream data.
The server port has a configurable TCP port number, and can accept a single remote client connection.
The client port can be configured to connect to a remote server’s IP and TCP port number upon power up, or
whenever there is data to send.
Connection is made via a RJ45 connector inside the indicator on the Ethernet/USB option board.
For details on all the configurable parameters for the optional Ethernet ports, see Section 3.1.3 on page 28.
Ethernet Option

9.10 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units
The 480 has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly
display those results with a press of the Unit key.
Secondary units can be specified on the Format menu using the SECNDR parameter.
Note
Multipliers are preconfigured within the indicator.
Ensure that the secondary decimal point position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary
units. If the converted value requires more digits than are available, the indicator will display an overflow
message (OVERFL).
For example, if the primary units are short tons, secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal point is set to
8888.88, the indicator will overflow if five tons or more are applied to the scale. With 5 tons applied, and a conversion
factor of 2,000, the secondary units display needs five digits to the left of the decimal point to display the 10,000 pound
secondary units value.
9.11 Digital Filtering (DIGFIL)
Digital filtering is used to create a stable scale reading in challenging environments. The 480 (firmware version
1.03 and later) allows selection of Adaptive Filtering (see Section 9.11.2), Rolling Filtering (see Section 9.11.3) or OFF
for no filtering.
The A/D sample rate must be selected first (see Section 9.11.1). Then select the type of digital filter using the
DIGFIL parameter.
9.11.1 Sample Rate (SMPRAT)
The A/D sample rate is the number of weight readings the indicator takes per second (SMPRAT). This can be 5, 10,
20 or 40 Hertz, or readings per second.
Set the A/D sample rate to the lowest setting required for the application. Lower settings result in better stability, so
5 Hertz is more stable than 40 Hertz.
9.11.2 Adaptive Filter
The adaptive filter has two settings, sensitivity (AFSENS) and threshold (AFTHRH). It maintains a running average
of the A/D readings when the weight change remains less than the defined Threshold value. The filter
automatically applies less value to each successive A/D reading the longer the weight change is less than the
Threshold value. The amount of value given to the most recent A/D reading is determined by the sensitivity setting.
Adaptive Filter Sensitivity (AFSENS)
Adaptive filter sensitivity (AFSENS) can be set to HEAVY, MEDIUM or LIGHT. A heavy setting will result in an output
that is more stable to weight changes, than that of light. However, small changes in weight data (a few grads) on the
scale base will not be seen as quickly.
If the difference in typical subsequent weight values on the scale will only be a few grads, use a light setting. On a
truck scale where the changes in subsequent weight values will be 100s of grads, a heavy setting will be more
appropriate. When the weight has not exceeded the Threshold ( AFTHRH ) setting, the effective response is
approximately 30 A/D cycles for LIGHT, 90 A/D cycles for MEDIUM and 180 A/D cycles for HEAVY.
Adaptive Filter Threshold (AFTHRH)
The adaptive filtering threshold (AFTHRH) should be set for the amount of observed instability in the system. This
parameter can be set in the range of 0 to 99999 and is entered as a weight value. When a new sampled weight value
is acquired, the adaptive filter compares the new value to the previous (filtered) output value.
If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is greater than the AFTHRH parameter the
adaptive filter is reset to the new weight value.
If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is less than the AFTHRH parameter, the two
values are averaged together using a weighted average. The weighted average is based on the amount of time the
system has been stable, and selected AFSENS sensitivity.
With the adaptive filter threshold set at zero, determine the amount of instability that is present. Enter this amount
of weight instability to set the threshold of the adaptive filter. The adaptive filter is set to OFF the AFTHRH
parameter is set to zero.
68
480 Legend Series
9.11.3 Rolling Averaging Filter
The rolling averaging filter uses mathematical averaging with three stages. These configurable stages control the
effect of a single A/D reading on the displayed weight. When an A/D reading is encountered that is outside a
predetermined band, the rolling averaging filter is overridden and the display jumps directly to the new value.
Filter Stages (RFSTG1-3)
The filter stages can each be set to a value of 1 to 64. The value assigned to each stage sets the number of readings
received from the preceding filter stage before averaging. Setting the filter stages to 1 effectively disables the
rolling filter.
A rolling average is passed to successive filtering stages for an overall filtering effect that is effectively a weighted
average of the product of the values assigned to the filter stages (RFSTG1 x RFSTG2 x RFSTG3) within a time frame
corresponding to the sum of the values (RFSTG1 + RFSTG2 + RFSTG3).
Filter Sensitivity (RFSENS) and Threshold (RFTHRH)
The rolling averaging filter can be used by itself to eliminate vibration effects, but heavy filtering also increases
settling time. The RFSENS and RFTHRH parameters can be used to temporarily override filter averaging and
improve settling time.
• RFSENS specifies the number of consecutive A/D readings that must fall outside the filter threshold
(RFTHRH) before filtering is suspended.
• RFTHRH sets a threshold value, in display divisions. When the specified number of consecutive A/D
readings (RFSENS) fall outside of this threshold, filtering is suspended. Set RFTHRH to NONE to turn off the
filter override.
Rolling Averaging Filter Parameters
1.
2.
3.
4.
In setup mode, set the rolling filter stage parameters (RFSTG1-3) to 1.
Set RFTHRH to NONE.
Return to weigh mode.
Remove all weight from the scale, then watch the indicator to determine the magnitude of vibration effects
on the scale.
5. Record the weight below which all but a few readings fall. This value is used to calculate the RFTHRH
parameter in step 8.
Example – if a heavy-capacity scale (10000x5lb) produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb, with
occasional spikes to 75 pound, record 50 pound as the threshold weight value.
6. Place the indicator in setup mode and set the filter stage parameters (RFSTG1-3) to eliminate the vibration
effects on the scale (leave RFTHRH set to NONE).
7. Find the lowest effect value for the RFSTG1-3 parameters.
If needed, the rolling filter cutout sensitivity (RFSENS) and the rolling filter cutout threshold (RFTHRH) can be used
to reset the averaging filter so the response to a rate change is faster.
8. Calculate the RFTHRH parameter value by converting the weight value recorded in step 5 to display
divisions (Threshold_Weight_Value / Display_Divisions).
In the example in step 5, with a threshold value of 50 pound, and a display divisions value of 5 pound,
RFTHRH should be set to 10 display divisions.
9. Set the RFSENS parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically caused by
lower vibration frequencies) will cause more consecutive out-of-band readings, so RFSENS should be set
higher to counter low frequency transients.
Digital Filtering (DIGFIL)

9.12 Analog Output Calibration
The following calibration procedure requires a multimeter to measure voltage or current output from the analog
output module. See Figure 3-15 for analog output menu structure.
The analog output must be calibrated after the indicator itself has been configured (see Section 3.0) and
Note calibrated (see Section 4.0).
1. Enter configuration mode and go to the ALGOUT menu (see Figure 3-15).
• Set source to GROSS or NET, depending on the weight value to be tracked by the analog output
• Set OFFSET to 0% for 0–10V/0-20mA output, 20% for 2-10V/4–20 mA output
• Set MIN to lowest weight value to be tracked by the analog output
• Set MAX to highest weight value to be tracked by the analog output
Calibrate the minimum weight value for 0 mA, even if a 4-20 mA output will be used. After the calibration is
Note complete, select the 20% offset.
If set to a 20% offset, the lowest value tracked will be 4 mA. To use a value lower than 4mA, use the 0-20 mA
setting.
2. Connect multimeter to analog output:
• For voltage output, connect voltmeter leads to pins three and four
• For current output, connect ammeter leads to pins one and two
3. Adjust the zero calibration: Scroll to the TWZERO parameter. Check voltage or current reading on
multimeter. Press or to select the digit to edit and or to adjust the value of selected (flashing)
digit to set the zero value.
4. Adjust span calibration: Scroll to the TWSPAN parameter. Check voltage or current reading on multimeter.
Press or to select the digit to edit and or to adjust the value of selected (flashing) digit to set the
span value.
5. Final zero calibration: Return to the TWZERO parameter and verify that the zero calibration has not drifted.
Press or to select the digit to edit and or to adjust the value of selected (flashing) digit to set the
zero value.
6. Return to weigh mode. Analog output function can be verified using test weights.
9.13 Test Mode
In addition to weigh and setup modes, test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the 480, including:
• Display raw A/D count
• Reset configuration parameters to default values
• Number of weighments over threshold
• View the state of the digital inputs
• Control the state of the digital outputs
• Test the analog output
1. Enter configuration mode by removing the setup switch access screw from the back of the enclosure.
2. Insert a non-conductive tool into the access hole to press the configuration switch. Indicator display
changes to show CONFIG.
3. Navigate over to TEST and then down into the TEST menu.
