The Service mode allows the W&M and the service person to enter to
calibrate the scale, it contains all the program blocks.
Please see the following description of how to enter into the master and
service.

3.1.3

Program Block Access

(Master and Service mode )

In order to configure the program blocks the programmer must enter

the setup mode. The difference between Master and Service mode is
determined by the SW1-1, if the SW1-1 is in OFF position, that will allow
you to enter into Service mode, otherwise is the Master mode.
Open the apparatus and select the position of the SWl-1 and press the
ENTER and ZERO keys simultaneously.

3.1.4

W&M seal

In order to secure the apparatus from accidental or unintentional

changes in setup mode to impact the weighing accuracy performance, turn
switch SWI-1 off.
In legal-for-trade applications, after checking for correct operation and
turning switch SWl-1 off, the apparatus enclosure must be "sealed.", loop the
wire through the hole in the bottom case and the one in the W&M screw,
and secure it with a seal.

3.1.5

General Programming Procedure

After accessing the setup mode, each program block and sub-block can
be configured according to the procedure outlined in the following pages. If
the terminal is being configured for the first time it is recommended that the
programmer configure each program block to assure the terminal is setup
correctly as the application and/or environment dictates.
Once the F1 prompt is displayed the MODE key will skip or the next
block and the ENTER key will enter the block.
Once ENTER is pressed the apparatus advances to the first parameter in
the block. The display shows the sub-block number and the current value
setting. Press ENTER to accept the value and advance to the next sub-block
or press the MODE key to toggle through the choices until the desired
selection is displayed. After the desired selection is displayed, press the

Use the following test procedure whether the RS232 serial port is
operational
1,Remove power from the apparatus and disconnect the data cable
from the printer.
2,Set the voltmeter to read 20 volts DC.
3,Connect the red lead to pin 2 of the printer end of the data cable and
connect the black lead to pin 7.
4,Apply power. The meter should read as follows:
-In Demand mode, the meter should read between -5 and -15 with
no fluctuation.
-In Continuous mode, the meter should fluctuate between -5 and +5
continuously. The constant fluctuation on the meter display on the
meter display indicates the scale/indicator is transmitting information.
To test the Demand baud should fluctuate between rates, press the
Transact (Print) key. The display should fluctuate between -5 volts to +5
volts for the duration of the transmission, then become stable again. This
