page 7 for information about configuration methods.
The Operator Card included with this manual
provides basic operating instructions for users of the
120. Please leave the Operator Card with the indicator
when installation and configuration are complete.

1.0 Introduction
The 120 is a single-channel digital weight indicator housed in a durable plastic enclosure. The indicator front
panel consists of a large (.8 in, 20 mm), six-digit, seven-segment LED display and five-button keypad. Features
include:
• Drives up to four 350Ω or eight 700Ω load cells
• Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections
• Electronic data processing (EDP) port for full duplex, RS-232 communications at up to 38400 bps
• Printer port for output-only RS-232 and 20 mA current loop communications at up to 9600 bps
The 120 is NTEP-certified for Classes III and III L at 6,000 divisions. See Section 7.8 on page 36 for detailed
specifications.

1.1 Operating Modes


The 120 supports the following modes of operation:
Normal (weighing) mode
Normal mode is the “production” mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as
required, using the LED annunciators described in Section 1.3 on page 2 to indicate scale status and the type
of weight value displayed. Once configuration is complete and a legal seal is affixed to the back of the
indicator, this is the only mode in which the 120 can operate. See Section 1.4.1 on page 3 for more
information about normal mode operations.
Panel mode
Panel mode allows the time, date, consecutive number, and consecutive number start-up value to be set
without entering configuration mode. To enter panel mode, press and hold the GROSS/NET key until the TIME
menu is shown. See Section 1.4.2 on page 4 for more information about panel mode.
Configuration mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual require the indicator to be in configuration mode, including
configuration and calibration.
To enter configuration mode, remove the large fillister head screw from the enclosure backplate. Insert a
screwdriver or a similar tool into the access hole and press the setup switch once. The indicator display
changes to show the word CONFIG.
Test mode
Test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the 120 indicator. Like setup mode, test mode is
entered using the setup switch. See Section 7.7 on page 35 for more information about entering and using
test mode.

1.3 LED Annunciators


The 120 display uses a set of eight LED annunciators to provide additional information about the value being
displayed:
• Gr (gross) and Nt (net) annunciators are lit to show whether the displayed weight is a gross or net weight.
• Center of zero ( ): Gross weight is within ±0.25 graduations of zero. This annunciator lights when the
scale is zeroed.
• Standstill ( ): Scale is at standstill or within the specified motion band. Some operations, including
tare functions and printing, can only be done when the standstill symbol is shown.
• lb, kg, oz, and g annunciators indicate the units associated with the displayed value: lb=pounds,
kg=kilograms, oz=ounces, g=grams.
The displayed units can also be set to short tons (tn), metric tons (t), or NONE (no units information
displayed). The lb and kg LEDs function as primary and secondary units annunciators for some
combinations of primary and secondary units. If neither primary nor secondary units are lb, kg, oz, or g, the
lb annunciator is lit for primary units, kg for secondary units.
Table 1-1 on page 3 shows which annunciators are used for all combinations of configured primary and
secondary units. For example:
• If the primary unit is pounds (lb) and the secondary unit is kilograms (kg), the lb LED is lit for primary
units, kg for secondary units.
• If the primary unit is pounds (lb) and the secondary unit is short tons (tn), the lb LED is lit for primary
units, kg for secondary units. There is no LED for short tons, so the kg LED is used as the secondary units
annunciator.
• If the primary unit is short tons (tn) and the secondary unit is pounds (lb), the lb LED is lit for primary
units (tn), and kg is lit for secondary units (lb). Because there is no LED for short tons, the lb and kg LEDs
are used as primary and secondary units annunciators.

menus or by sending commands or configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration using the menus is
described in Section 3.1.3. Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished using the EDP command set
described in Section 5.0 or by using the Revolution III configuration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution Configuration To use Revolution III, do the following:
The Revolution III configuration utility provides the 1. Install Revolution III (Version 3.1 or later) on an
preferred method for configuring the 120 indicator. IBM-compatible personal computer running
Revolution runs on a personal computer to set Windows ® 98 or later. Minimum system
configuration parameters for the indicator. When requirements include a processor speed of at
Revolution configuration is complete, configuration least 166MHz, 32MB of memory (64MB
data is downloaded to the indicator. recommended, required for NT4, 2000, XP), and
at least 40MB of available hard disk space for
installation.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on
the indicator EDP port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup
switch to place the indicator in setup mode.
4. Start the Revolution III program.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution
configuration displays.
Revolution III provides online help for each of its
configuration displays. Parameter descriptions
provided in this manual for front panel configuration
can also be used when configuring the indicator using
Revolution: the interface is different, but the
parameters set are the same.
Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Configuration Display

Revolution III supports both uploading and


downloading of indicator configuration data. This
capability allows configuration data to be retrieved
from one indicator, edited, then downloaded to
another.

3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration
The EDP command set can be used to configure the 120 indicator using a personal computer, terminal, or remote
keyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command configuration sends commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike
Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a
serial connection.
EDP commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and provide some functions not
otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the
indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See Section 5.0 on page 23 for more information about using the
EDP command set.

3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration


The 120 indicator can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front panel when the
indicator is in setup mode. Table 3-1 summarizes the functions of each of the main menus.
Menu Menu Function
CONFIG Configuration Configure load cell sensitivity, grads, zero tracking, zero range, motion band, overload, sample
rate, and digital filtering parameters.
FORMAT Format Set format of primary and secondary units, display rate.
CALIBR Calibration Calibrate indicator. See Section 4.0 on page 21 for calibration procedures.
SERIAL Serial Configure EDP and printer serial ports.
PROGRM Program Set power-up mode, regulatory mode, and consecutive number values.
P FORMT Print Format Set print format used for gross and net tickets. See Section 5.0 for more information.
TIME Time Display and set time
DATE Date Display and set date
VERSION Version Display installed software version number.

Table 3-1. 120 Menu Summary


Four front panel keys are used as directional keys to navigate through the menus in setup mode. The UNITS ( )
and PRINT ( ) keys scroll left and right (horizontally) on the same menu level; ZERO ( ) and GROSS/NET ( )
move up and down (vertically) to different menu levels. The TARE key ( ) serves as an Enter key for selecting
parameter values within the menus. A label under each of these keys identifies the direction provided by the key
when navigating through the setup menus.
To select a parameter, press or to scroll left or right until the desired menu group appears on the display,
then press to move down to the submenu or parameter you want. When moving through the menu parameters,
the default or previously selected value appears first on the display.
To change a parameter value, scroll left or right to view the values for that parameter. When the desired value
appears on the display, press to select the value and move back up one level.
NOTE: You must press to save the selected value. The 120 does not automatically save the last-displayed value.
To edit numerical values, press (rightmost digit will
flash), then use the navigation keys to select the digit
and to increment or decrement the value (see
Figure 3.2). When done, press again to save the
edited value.
When editing numeric values, press to allow numeric mode
change entry, then press or to change the digit selected.
Press or to increment or decrement the value of the flashing
selected digit.

Press to save the value entered and return to the level above.

3.2 Menu Structures and Parameter Descriptions
The following sections provide graphic representations of the 120 menu structures. In the actual menu structure,
the settings you choose under each parameter are arranged horizontally. To save page space, menu choices are
shown in vertical columns. The factory default setting appears at the top of each column.
Most menu diagrams are accompanied by a table that describes all parameters and parameter values associated
with that menu. Default parameter values are shown in bold type.

5.2 Saving and Transferring Data
Connecting a personal computer to the 120 EDP port allows you to save indicator configuration data to the PC or
to download configuration data from the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe the procedures for
these save and transfer operations.
5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer
Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer connected to the EDP port. The PC must be running a
communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS®. See Section 2.2.1 on page 5 for information about serial
communications wiring and EDP port pin assignments.
When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the SERIAL
menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC. Set the PRNDES
parameter to EDP.
To save all configuration data, place the indicator in configuration mode and send the DUMPALL EDP
command to the indicator. The 120 responds by sending all configuration parameters to the PC as
ASCII-formatted text.
5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator
Configuration data saved on a PC or floppy disk can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure
is useful when a number of indicators with similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced.
To download configuration data, connect the PC to the EDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the indicator
in configuration mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to the
indicator. When transfer is complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 4.0 on page 21.
NOTES:
• Calibration settings are included in the configuration data downloaded to the indicator. If the receiving
indicator is a direct replacement for another 120 and the attached scale is not changed, recalibration is not
required.
• When downloading configurations that include changed serial communications settings, edit the data file
to place the serial communications changes at the end of the file. Communication between the PC and
indicator will be lost once the indicator receives settings for baud rate (BAUD parameter) or data bits
and parity (BITS parameter) that do not match those configured for the PC.

6.2.2 Using the Front Panel
If you have no access to equipment for communication through the EDP port or are working at a site where such
equipment cannot be used, you can use the PFORMT menu (see Figure 6-1) to customize the print format. Using
the PFORMT menu, you can edit the print format string by changing the hex values of the ASCII characters in
the format string.
To edit a print format, do the following:
1. In setup mode, use the navigation keys to go to the PFORMT menu. Press to show the EDIT submenu.
2. Press again to show the print format string. Use the and keys to scroll through the format. The
number position of each character is shown in the two digits at the left of the display, hex 00–BF.
3. To edit a character, press while the character is displayed. The rightmost digit flashes, indicating that
it can be changed. Use the and keys to increment or decrement the value, or use the key to move
to the next digit. Press to save any changes and advance to the next character in the string.
4. If done, press to return to the EDIT submenu.
5. To insert one or more characters, display the character position after which characters are to be inserted.
Press to return to the EDIT submenu, then press to show the INSERT parameter. Press to insert
one character; repeat presses to add more characters. Each press of the key adds a character at the
location last shown under EDIT submenu and shifts all subsequent characters to the right. Inserted
characters are assigned hex value 00 (null).
To edit inserted characters, return to the EDIT submenu and make changes as described under step 3.
6. To delete one or more characters, display the character to be deleted. Press to return to the EDIT
submenu, then press twice to show the DELETE parameter. Press to delete one character; repeat
presses to delete more characters. Each press of the key deletes a character, starting at the location last
shown under EDIT submenu, then moving left to preceding characters. Each deletion shifts all
subsequent characters to the left.
NOTE: Some characters cannot be displayed on the 120 front panel (see the ASCII character chart on page 31)
and are shown as blanks. The 120 can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed depends on the
particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

7.5 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units
The 120 has the capability to mathematically convert a
weight into many different types of units and instantly
display those results with a press of the UNITS key. Primary Unit x Multiplier Secondary Unit

Secondary units can be specified on the FORMAT ounces (oz) 28.3495 grams
menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP 0.06250 pounds
commands. 0.02835 kilograms
• To configure secondary units using the front pounds (lb) 453.592 grams
panel menus, use the Table 7-4 to find the 16.0000 ounces
conversion multiplier for the MULT parameter.
For example, if the primary unit is pounds and 0.45359 kilograms
the secondary unit is short tons, set the MULT 0.00050 short tons (tn)
parameter to 000050. 0.00045 metric tons (t)
Next, use the MULEXP parameter to set the short tons (tn) 2000.00 pounds
decimal point position. In the example above,
907.185 kilograms
the conversion factor for pounds to short tons is
actually 0.0005 (2000 lb x 0.0005 = 1 tn). Use 0.90718 metric tons (t)
the and keys to shift the decimal point to grams (g) 0.03527 ounces
show a value of 0.00050.
0.00220 pounds
Another example: If the primary unit is ounces
and the secondary unit is grams, the conversion 0.00100 kilograms
factor is 28.3495. To enter this value using the kilograms (kg) 35.2740 ounces
menus, first enter 283495 for the MULT 1000.00 grams
parameter, then use the MULEXP parameter to
adjust the decimal point to 28.3495. 2.20462 pounds

• To configure secondary units using EDP 0.00110 short tons (tn)


commands, use the Table 7-4 to find the 0.00100 metric tons (t)
conversion value for the SEC.MULT and metric tons (t) 2204.62 pounds
command. For example, if the primary unit is
1000.00 kilograms
pounds and the secondary unit is short tons, send
the following EDP command to set the 1.10231 short tons (tn)
multiplier for the secondary units. Table 7-4. Conversion Factors
SEC.MULT= 0.00050<CR>
• Units of weight other than those listed in
Table 7-4 cannot be directly specified as primary
or secondary units on the 120 indicator. For
unlisted units of weight, specify NONE on the
UNITS parameter.
NOTE: Ensure that the secondary decimal point
position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in
the secondary units. If the converted value requires
more digits than are available, the indicator display
will overflow.
For example, if the primary units are short tons,
secondary units are pounds, and the secondary
decimal point is set to 8888.88, the indicator will
overflow if 5 tons or more are applied to the scale.
With 5 tons applied, and a conversion factor of 2000,
the secondary units display needs five digits to the left
of the decimal point to display the 10000 lb secondary
units value.
