Introduction
The WI-127 Inbound/Outbound is a microprocessor-driven weight indicator designed to interface with an electronic scale. Its purpose is to calculate net weight value and to transmit serially that value, along with other weighing information, to a printer, computer, or programmable controller.
A hallmark of the WI-127 Inbound/Outbound indicator is its versatility in adapting to a broad range of weighing applications requiring calculation of net value.
Two methods of net weighing are available:
Method 1: Inbound/Outbound Weighing allows you to live-weigh an empty or full container (or vehicle, etc.), with or without transmission of data. Later you may live-weigh the same container for calculation of a net value and transmission of data. The indicator will select the larger weight as the gross weight and always transmit a positive net weight. The first weighing of the container stores its value in memory so that similar weighing operations can continue in up to 300 other channels between the time of the first weighing operation and the second. The indicator will keep track of the number of transactions and accumulate the totals for each inbound/outbound channel.
Method 2: Using Multiple Tare Registers allows you to store tares in two different ways. You may:
• Live-weigh an empty container and store its tare value in one of 300 tare registers. Then do multiple live weighings with the same refilled container or with containers of equal tare weight value. The WI-127 Inbound/Outbound Indicator will use the tare value you stored in memory for calculation of net value and transmission of data.
• Enter using the keypad a predetermined weight value in one of
300 tare registers. Then do multiple live weighings with filled containers equal in weight to the memory-stored value for calculation of net value and transmission of data.
The indicator will also keep track of the number of transactions and accumulate the totals for each tare register.
Operations Mode
Operations mode contains all normal weighing operations. In this mode you can view or set the following parameters:
• inbound/outbound channels
• multiple tare registers
• cutoff registers
• target, over and under values
• time
• date
• identification number

The WI-127's keys are divided into four primary groups:
Standard Scale Keys These yellow keys are common to a majority of weighing applications and include SELECT, TARE, PRINT, ZERO, and
UNITS.
SELECT Used to switch between the gross, tare, and net display modes. SELECT can also be used to accept a current selection and return to weigh mode from within any menu.
TARE
ZERO
Enters a pushbutton tare in the display mode. Can be configured to accept values through the numeric keypad.
Used to initiate manual data transmission.
UNITS
Zeros the scale in the display mode. Also clears values in numeric entry.
Switches the units of measure in the display mode. Up to three units of measure are selectable.

Function Keys
Operation of these keys changes with the software installed in the WI-127. (standard, in-motion, GTN)
Keypad Keys
Directional Keys
These oval keys, along the right side of the display face, are configurable and are labeled INBOUND/OUTBOUND, TARE REGISTER, and CUTOFF.

Gross Weighing
To perform gross weighing operations, follow these steps:
1.
Power up the indicator.
Indicator powers up in gross weighing mode.
2.
Verify the scale is empty and zero the scale by pressing the
ZERO key.
Zero weight is displayed and the zero annunciator illuminates.
3.
Select unit of measure by pressing the UNITS button.
4.
Place weight on the scale.
The units annunciator will illuminate next to the chosen unit of measure.
Gross weight is displayed.
Method 1: Inbound/Outbound Weighing
Capturing an inbound or outbound weight
The inbound/outbound weighing function stores inbound weight and time and date information in up to 300 channels. Then, when the outbound weighment is stored, the indicator peforms an accumulation and prints the net weight.
1.
From gross weight display mode, press INBOUND/OUTBOUND.
__ is displayed, prompting for a channel number.
The INBOUND/OUTBOUND key will work only if the indicator is in gross weighing mode.
2a. Enter a channel number using the keypad (this will either create a new channel or call up a previously entered one), or
Channel numbers may be from
1 to 6 numerals in length.
2b. Use the MENU (forward) and
← previously entered channel . . .
3.
With weight on the scale, press ENTER . . .
The channel number is displayed.
If a new channel was created or if the existing channel had no value for the inbound weight, the captured weight is stored as the inbound weight.
If the channel already had an inbound weight, the captured weight is stored as the outbound weight and is added to the accumulator total. After the outbound weight is printed, the inbound weight is cleared form the channel.
The weight is captured and the indicator prints the transaction. At the end of an inbound/outbound operation, the inbound and net weights are displayed respectively for four seconds. The ID annunciator illuminates during this special mode.

Cutoffs may be positive or negative values.
Cutoff registers may be viewed by two methods:
Method A:
1.
Press the CUTOFF key. . .
1 xx is displayed. The number 1 stands for cutoff register #1 and xx is the current value in register 1.
2.
Continue pressing CUTOFF or

Checkweighing
Setting Target and
Over/Under Values
The ACCEPT annunciator does not illuminate when target = 0.
The WI-127 is configured to perform checkweighing functions. The checkweighing parameters are accessed through the Operations Menu shown in Figure 2.
The target value must be considered when determining values to enter for over and under. Depending on the target values, the over/under values can be entered as either actual weight values or as tolerance values.
If the target value is zero, you may enter over and under values as actual weight. For example, if the target = 0, over might = 100 lbs, and under might = 50 lbs.This means that any weight between 50 lbs and 100 lbs is acceptable.
If the target value is a value other than zero, the over and under values must be set as tolerances. For example, if target = 100, over might = 10, and
under might = -10. This means that any weight between 90 and 110 lbs is acceptable.
