INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation of your 758 weight indicator, make certain that the instrument has been received in good condition. Carefully remove the instrument from the shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents or scratches) that may have taken place during shipment. Keep the carton and packing material for return shipment if it should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all claims for any damages or loss incurred during transit, unless this responsibility has been accepted by the seller in its proposal. Should your 758 come already installed on a scale, the following information describing the installation of the instrument does not apply to you. Begin the installation by deciding where the instrument is to be mounted. The 758 may come mounted on a column or you may choose to mount it on a desktop or wall. Refer to Figure No. 1 for illustrations of the mounting brackets. Two (2) holes are located in the mounting bracket for attachment to the wall. This bracket may be removed or left in place for desktop use. Regardless of how and where you mount your 758, it should be in a safe area where it will not be in the way of normal traffic. The location chosen should be free of temperature extremes and water. It should be in a location where the display is easily viewed and is not subject to direct sunlight. The indicator should be mounted such that it is within easy reach of the operator. If wall mounted, make certain that the structure and mounting bolts are of sufficient strength to support the 758. The mounting bracket should be securely fastened to the wall or column top so that it cannot break loose from the mounting surface. After the 758 has been mounted, it may be connected to the plug-in power supply or the batteries may be installed. 2

Mounting
The Model 758 Weight Indicating Instrument may be mounted on a desktop or other smooth, flat, horizontal surface or it may be mounted on a wall using two (2) #10 screws placed 6.00 inches apart on the wall.

Locate the rectangular panel on the back of the indicator and remove the two (2) screws retaining it (see Figure 3). Remove the panel (lift straight up and slide it out from under the end cap) exposing the battery holder. Install six (6) "C" size batteries in the holder, making certain that they are positioned in accordance with the polarity markings located in the battery holder. Refer to Figure No. 3 for illustration of battery installation. After placing all six (6) of the batteries in the holder, replace the panel on the back of the 758 (slide under the end cap) and install the two (2) screws. Make sure the wall plug-in power supply is unplugged, then turn the indicator over (display facing up) and press the ON | OFF key. If the display turns on, the batteries have been installed correctly. If not, remove the panel and check for one (1) or more improperly positioned batteries. The 758 does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you wish to use Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, they must be fully charged before installing. When discharged, the Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries must be removed and placed in an external charger to recharge. DO NOT connect the plug-in power supply with batteries installed in the instrument!

Load Cell Connection


The load cell cable connects to the 758 via a 9-pin "D" connector on the rear panel of the indicator. Figure No. 4 shows the pin identification for the load cell connector. Make certain that the pins are correctly identified before soldering a wire to them. If you use load cells with sense leads (6 wire load cells) in your installation, jumpers J2 and J3, located on the printed circuit board (see Figure No. 5) should be disconnected or placed on one pin only. If you do not use load cells with sense leads (4 wire load cells), jumpers J2 and J3 must be installed on the printed circuit board (refer to Figure No. 5), for proper operation. Make certain that the connector retaining screws are used to hold the load cell cable connector securely to the rear panel.

SERIAL INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS


The 758 RS-232 serial interface can be configured during the setup and calibration procedure or during the setup review operation. Using either method, it is possible to select the operation of the serial interface as well as select the baud rate. The baud rates supported are: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19.2K baud. The data format is fixed at 8 bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit. The indicators are shipped from the factory with the baud rate set to 9600 baud. The serial interface can be configured to operate with a printer, remote display (SB-80) or a computer. The mode of operation is made during the setup and calibration of the instrument. Refer to the applicable section of this manual for detailed information. When configured for a printer, weight data is sent when the PRINT key is pressed or the 758 can send data on receipt of a command from the computer. If configured for a remote display, weight data is sent continuously. 5

SERIAL DATA FORMATS


Printer Data Format
If the Printer Continuous output was not selected, PC=0 (0=NO) during setup and calibration of the instrument, pressing the PRINT key will cause the 758 to transmit weight data to a printer. The transmitted data will be gross weight only and will include the units of measure. The data format for this operation is as follows: Gross Weight PXXXXX^lb^G CRLF where: P XXXXX

= Polarity (space if positive, - if negative) = Five (5) numeric digits of weight with decimal point if required and leading zeros suppressed ^ = Space (hex 20) lb = ASCII letters "I" and "b" to identify weighing units as pounds kg = ASCII letters "k" and "g" to identify weighing units as kilograms oz = ASCII letters "o" and "z" to identify weighing units as ounces ^g = Space (hex 20) and ASCII letter "g" to identify weighing units as grams G = ASCII letter "G" for Gross weight CRLF = Carriage Return and Line Feed commands (can be CR only if selected during the setup and calibration of the 758)

Weight-On-Demand
If the Printer Continuous output was not selected, PC=0 (0=NO) during setup and calibration of the instrument, and the 758 is connected to a computer, it will transmit a single set of weight data each time the computer sends an ENQ (hex 05). This is known as Weight-On-Demand. An example and explanation of the data format transmitted is shown below.

Continuous Output
If the Printer Continuous output was selected PC=1 (1=YES) during setup and calibration, the 758 will transmit weight data continuously. If connected to a remote display, the display will continuously show weight data. An example and explanation of the data format transmitted is shown below.

Weight-On-Demand and Continuous Output Data Format Example


The data format transmitted for both Weight-On-Demand and Continuous Output will be GROSS weight only. The weight data always includes the units of measure. An example of the data output (with and without a decimal point) is shown below: Pxxxxx^UU^M^SS^CR (no decimal point in weight display) PxxxxxD^UU^M^SS^CR (decimal point in weight display) where: P xxxxx ^ D UU M SS CR

polarity (space if positive, - if negative) weight with leading spaces space decimal point (embedded where necessary) units, upper case (LB, KG, OZ, ^G) mode, upper case (G=gross) status, upper case (CZ=center-of-zero, MO=motion, BZ=below zero and OC=over capacity) carriage return (hex OD)

SETUP AND CALIBRATION


Your 758 indicator has been thoroughly tested and calibrated before being shipped to you. If you receive the indicator attached to a scale, calibration is not necessary. If the 758 is being connected to a scale for the first time or recalibration is necessary for other reasons, proceed as indicated. Calibration Calibration of the 758 Weight Indicating Instrument is Jumper accomplished entirely by the keypad. To enter the J1 setup and calibration mode, the calibration jumper (J1), must be removed before turning on the indicator. To gain access to the calibration jumper, first remove the instrument from the gimbal mounting by removing the two large knobs and sliding the enclosure from the bracket.
