Section 3: Installation

3.1.3. Finding the best location

Position the equipment with these points in mind:

•

Intense direct sunlight can harm the display.

•

Do not locate near magnetic material or equipment/Indicators which use magnets in their design.

•

Avoid areas which have extreme variations in room temperatures. Temperatures outside the Indicator’s specifications will affect the weighing accuracy of this product.

•

Do not open the Indicator if there is any evidence of damage to it or any other scale component or supporting structure.

•

When selecting the right location for the Indicator and the scale, keep the components completely away from all high water, such as low-lying areas that may flood, and away from any drain pipes.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTICE

•

All load cells, load cell cables and interconnecting cables used to connect all scale components shall be located a minimum distance of 36” inches away from all single and multiple phase high energy circuits and electric current carrying conductors.

•

This includes digital weight indicators, junction boxes, sectional controllers, and power supplies.

•

This includes any peripheral devices, such as printers, remote displays, relay boxes, remote terminals, card readers, and auxiliary data entry devices.

•

Also included is the scale components themselves, such as 120 volt

AC, 240 volt AC, 480 volt AC and electric supply of higher voltage wiring runs and stations, AC power transformers, overhead or buried cables, electric distribution panels, electric motors, florescent and high intensity lighting which utilize ballast assemblies, electric heating equipment, traffic light wiring and power, and relay boxes.

•

All scale components, including digital weight indicators and peripheral devices are not designed to operate on internal combustion engine driven electric generators and other similar equipment.

Electric arc welding can severely damage scale components such as digital weight indicators, junction boxes, sectional controllers, power supplies, and load cells.

NOTE: For additional information, please contact your Fairbanks Scales

Service Representative.

Section 3: Installation

3.2. Powering up the scale

The scale performs a warm-up cycle. During the warm-up cycle . . .

•

The display scrolls from 1 to 9 in sequential order using all available digits while toggling between the available annunciators.

•

The program number will display briefly (PXXXXX), followed by the software revision.

•

Then “

•

“-----” for a few seconds

” scrolls across the display.

•

“ ”, Scale is ready to weigh

•

After approximately 30 seconds with no weight on the scale it will go into a sleep mode. The display will continuously scroll “

Simply applying any weight to the platform will wake-up the scale.

”.

3.3. Computer interface

3.3.1 Connections:

The USB Type A port is a hard-wired connection inside the scale. Connect the other end of the USB cable to an unused USB port on your computer. Use the configuration procedure supplied with your freight provider’s computer software.

3.3.2 Computer interface driver

The USB port will only function with a computer running Windows 2000 or higher operating system. When the scale’s USB cable is connected to the computer’s USB port, the computer will prompt “a device has been found” and it will automatically install the driver. Check with your software manufacturer or freight provider for compatible computer software.

3.3.3 USB data output

The Ultegra Junior uses the HID-10 USB protocol.

3.4. Weighing

With the platform empty, press the [ZERO] key.

The display will indicate zero.

Note:

The “C” to the left of the “0.00” indicates true center of zero.

07/2013 11 51119 Rev. 4

Section 3: Installation

Check that the correct units are indicated; press the [UNITS] key to change to "lb" or "kg".

Place the item to be weighed centered on the platform.

Read the Gross weight from the display.

4.2. Keys in Programming/Calibration Mode

Each program step has more than one choice. The [UNITS] key will toggle the displayed value, the [ZERO] key will accept the current displayed value, and move to the next step.

4.3. Programming Steps

4.3.1. First program step: Zero range -- The display will show USA or CAn.

• The zero range is set at 2% or 1.4 lbs when programmed for Canadian use

• The zero range is set at 100% or 70 lbs when programmed for USA use

Press the [UNITS] key to change, [ZERO] key to accept.

4.3.2. Second program step: Active Units -- Diamonds on the bottom of the display will point to the currently enabled units. Selections available are lb only, kg only, or lb/kg selectable.

Press the [UNITS] key to change, [ZERO] key to accept.

07/2013 13 51119 Rev. 4

Section 4: Programming Configuration

4.3.3. Third program step: Weighing Mode: Display will show rAngE or 2000d.

2000d will set the weighing mode to 70 lb capacity by 0.05 lb / 31.75 kg by 0.01 kg. rAngE will set the weighing mode to automatically change its increment size as follows:

Scale will weigh from 0 lb to 28 lb by 0.02 lb increment (0-14 kg by 0.01 kg)

Scale will weigh from 28 lb to 70 lb by 0.05 lb increment (14 kg to 31.75 kg by 0.02 kg)

Press the [UNITS] key to change, [ZERO] key to accept.

4.3.4. Fourth program step: Output mode: The display will show COnt or POLLEd.

COnt will establish a continuous output stream to the computer.

POLLEd will establish a demand output to the computer.

Press the [UNITS] key to change, [ZERO] key to accept.

NOTE: The following steps will calibrate the scale. If you do not wish to alter the calibration, press the CAL button to leave the programming area.

4.3.5 . Fifth program step:: Zero reference: The display will show -----. Ensure the scale is empty of any objects and press the [ZERO] key. A “0: digital count will now be displayed. If necessary, the [ZERO] key can be pressed repeatedly to establish clean zero reference.

4.3.6 . Sixth program step: Test Weights: Apply a known test weight value that matches one of the following choices. When the test weight(s) are applied, the displayed digital counts value will increase in relation to the applied load. Press the

[UNITS] key repeatedly until the correct Test weight value is displayed,

5,10,15,20,30,40,50,60,70 lbs; 10,20,30, KG . You can continue to press the

[UNITS] key to cycle through the choices again if required.

4.3.7. Seventh program step: Calibration: Press the [ZERO] key or the CAL switch to complete scale calibration. The display will show good if the calibration is successful, and error if not. The scale will then return to weight mode.
