1. INTRODUCTION AND WARNINGS

This product is the best solution for multi-function weighing applications, offering ease of use, high precision in reading the weight,
and many functions to speed up and simplify everyday work.

This manual provides an overview of the potentials of the product. The configuration menu can be used to adapt the product
functionality to the required weighing application.

WARNINGS:
• Do not make repairs or replace electronic components of the instrument boards.
• Only use original spare parts.
• Any tampering with the equipment or use of non-original spare parts voids the warranty and relieves the
manufacturer of any liability.
• Before any installation or repair that involves access to electronic parts, turn off the device and disconnect any source
of power supply (battery, 230V network or other).
• Always use network power supply sources regulated within ± 10% of the rated voltage.
• In applications in connection with third parties, always follow the specifications given on the approval decree of the
equipment.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not wash with water jets (except versions with specific IP protection degree).
• Protect from direct rainfall (except versions with specific IP protection degree).
• Do not use aggressive cleaning solvents or substances.
• Do not install in potentially explosive environments.
• Earth connect any earth socket located on the equipment casing, using a cable with a diameter of at least 16 mm2.

Custom string

Foreword:

The configuration can only be carried out using DiniTools in the “CUSTOM STRING FORMATTING” section.
The maximum length of the string configuration field is 100 characters. Fixed alphanumeric characters or variable macros may be
used inside.
There are also “tokens” that define the characters that a variable (<>) will become in the string when the indicator is in weighing
mode.
The custom string can be composed using the macros on page 49

The default custom string setting is shown below:

<2><P><W7.><U><M><S><CR><LF>

where

<2> ASCII STX character (start of text)

<P> Weight polarity
<W7.> Weight (formatted to 7 digits with decimal point)
<U> Unit of measure
<M> Type of weight (gross, net, tare)
<S> Weight status
<CR><LF> Transmission terminator, characters ASCII 013 and ASCII 010

Default token:

Gross mode token “<M>” G

Net mode token “<M>” N
Tare mode token “<M>” T
Preset weight token “<M>” T
Unit token “<U>” K
Positive polarity token “<P>” SPACE
Negative polarity token “<P>” -
Invalid status token “<S>” I
Motion status token “<S>” M
Valid status token “<S>” SPACE
Coz status token “<S>” Z
Overload status token “<S>” O
Underload status token “<S>” O
Overload char token “<S>” &
Underload char token “<S>” =

The default command to be sent to the weight indicator to request the custom string is:

nnSF#1<CR><LF>

45

Available Macro:

Positive polarity token “<P>” “SPACE” if the weight is positive
<PN> Sign of the net weight
Negative polarity token “<P>” “-” if the weight is negative
<PT> Sign of the tare

11. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Calibration

Can I change the maximum capacity without recalibrating?

Yes, you must change the parameters RANGE 1,2,3 (Q-1-4,5,6). (See page 41)

Can I change the division without recalibrating?

Yes, you must change the parameter diV (Q-1-2). (See page 40)

Can I change the position of the decimal point without recalibrating?

Yes, you must change the parameter deCim (Q-1-1) and the value of the calibration points using
step CAL.MAn (Q-5-6). (See page 40 and 45)

Can I calibrate the instrument in “multi-division” mode?

Yes, using the advanced configuration function from PC and the Dinitools program.

Communication

Scale doesn’t answer

• Check that the cable is in good condition and that there are no faults (use a multimeter).
• Check that the communication port of the PC or device being used is not compromised. If necessary, try another device / PC.
• Check that you have connected the cable to the correct serial port.
• Check step configuration Baud and bits. (See page 17)
• Temporarily activate continuous communication and retry string reception. If the string has been received correctly, carefully
check the syntax of the command sent, the communication timeouts and the presence of the terminator.

Generic

The scale does not turn on

• Check that the input voltage level to the motherboard is correct.
• Try the forced power by inserting the “ON BOOT” jumper present on the motherboard. If the indicator lights up, check the cor-
rect operation of the keypad, using the diagnostics menu diaG. (See page 39)
• Possible failure of the internal rechargeable battery (if present).
