The parameters are divided into 3 groups, "User Parameter," "System Parameter" and "Factory
Parameter."
(1) User Parameter Mode (to configure communication functions, multifunction, and others)
Related page: Page 1-10
(2) System Parameter Mode (to set stability detection and others)
The user parameters and intended for users to change the functions of the scale according to the
user specifications. The following parameters from 01 to 29 and d0 to F0 can be set, confirmed and
changed
When replacing the CPU board, make sure to check if the parameter settings are correct referring

How to switch to User Parameter Mode:
There are the following two ways to switch to user parameter mode:
See (2) System Parameter Mode (to set stability detection and oth-
ers) on Page 1-10 for how to set the dealer parameters.
To change the setup vaue, enter a new value and go to the next
parameter.
If you exit before moving to the next parameter, the system dis-
cards the entered value.

System parameter mode is used to change dealer parameters such as stability detection. The following
parameters from 30 to 39 and B1 to C3 can be set, confirmed and changed.
In this mode, (1) user parameters fromt 01 to 29 can be set, confirmed and changed.
To switch to dealer parameter mode, you must switch to test mode first. See 1.3.1 How to enter test
mode and meanings of panel indications on Page 1-5 for switching to test mode.
When you replace the CPU board, make sure to check if the parameters settings are correct, referring
to the parameter list.

System parameter mode is used to change the parameters that determine the specifications of the scale.
The following parameters from 40 to B8 can be set, confirmed and changed. To switch to system
parameter mode, you must switch to test mode first. See 1.3.1 How to enter test mode and
meanings of panel indications on Page 1-5 for switching to test mode. When you replace the CPU

Make sure to use weights that have the accuracy of Class 2 standard weight or highter, and carry out
the following procedure for span adjustment.
Get the weights for 500 increments, 1/2 weighing capacity and full weighing capacity to perform span
adjustment. For example, to calibrate the scale with weighing capacity of 30kg, 2 sets of weights total-
ing 15kg and a 5000g weight are necessary.
Caution: Span adjustment may not be made properly in a place exposed to vibrations or wind therefore
avoid such places.

To use a communication option, change some parameters manually as shown in the following table.
2-1 YCO-201008
DP-6700 Technical Manual
One coordinator can communicate with up to 10 scales. If more scales are needed to connect to the
communication network, or the distance between a coordinator and a scale is too long to establish
communications, a relaying device called a router is installed. The following figure shows the relation-
ship between a coordinator, routers and end devices.
2-2 YCO-201008
DP-6700 Technical Manual
In general, the possible communication distance using a scale with a built-in ZBee module is shown in
the following table.
Measurement conditions: A coordinator box is installed at the height of about 2m above the floor.
If a cabinet (shelf case) sized 270 x 180 (cm) is installed in a place with a clear view of the area, the
communication distance reduces to about 10 m. Although communication can be achieved even with
some obstacles, it is important to install the unit in a place that allows as clear view of the area as pos-
sible. If the distance is 10 m or longer, the communication condition is significantly influenced by the
installation environment. Accordingly, the best way is to install scales within 10 m radius of the coor-
dinator or the router. Please make sure to check the communication distance before use because it
varies by the scale.
ZBee uses a frequency band of 2.4Ghz, and the radio waves are high in directivity and poor in avoid-
ing an obstacle. Because they are easily absorbed in water, the communication distance reduces in a
highly humid environment. The human body is largely made up of water, so it absorbs radio waves. If
the distance between two devices is close to the limit of the communication distance, a presence of a
person standing on the communication path may block the communication.
No consideration is required for the presence of transparent glass becauae radio waves pass through
such glass. Consideration should be paid to metals and concrete because they block radio waves.
If a router is not used (up to 8 scales can be connected), the coordinator box must be installed
in a location without obstacles in between. As one of the ways of reducing the adverse effect of
obstacles, the coordinator box is recommended to be installed in a some what high place (at a
height of about 2 m above the floor)
2-3 YCO-201008
DP-6700 Technical Manual
Chapter 2 Communication option
The installation of a router (relaying device) extends the communication distance. If routers are
added for communication of a very long distance, the network can support up to the 5 hops.
Routers can be installed in a networking layout, and each router allows up to 5 layers of re
lays. It is most recommended to install scales within 10 m radius of a router. The routers are not
waterproof and a waterproof box is available as an option.

3.1 Precautions before carrying out repiars
The load cell included in this model is fully covered with rubber to enchance the damp and water proof-
ing performance. Be extra careful in handling the surface rubber because it is easy to tear, especially the
rubber around the cable connecting part is more easily damaged. If the surface rubber is torn, the load
cell must be replaced with a new one because the damp and water proofing performance will substan-
tially deteriorate.
Hold the root of the cable bush and loosen it. Then pull out the cable.

The load cell is supplied in an assembly as shown in Fig. 3-2 View of Load Cell for shipment.
The load cell comes with the preassembled cable bush and connector, and accordingly the
connector can be connected without disassembling the indicator.
The connector for relaying purpose comes out of the indicator as shown in Figure 3-3 View of
indicator Connector. Connect this connector to that of the load cell and put it back into the
indicator. Then fasten the cable bush.

3.4 How to perform eccentric error adjustment
The eccentric error adjustment is performed by inserting a rattail file (with the front edge of about
0.8mm) onto the surface rubber. As shown in Figure 4, s;ightly put the front edge into the rubber and
scrape the load cell inside. At that time, be careful not to break the rubber with the rattail file. On
completion of the eccentric error adjustment, dip a cotton swab etc. into the caulking agent (included in
the parts price list as one of our supplies) and apply it to the hole made by the rattail file.
