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.

Figure 1-1 shows the 120 keypad and LED annunciators.
The symbols shown under the keys (representing up, down, enter, left, right) describe the key functions assigned
in configuration and panel modes. In these modes, the keys are used to navigate through menus, select digits
within numeric values, and increment/decrement values. See Section 3.1.3 on page 8 for information about using
the front panel keys in configuration mode.

1.4.2 Panel Mode Operations
The following operations are available by placing the indicator in panel mode:
• Set time
• Set date
• Set consecutive number
• Set consecutive number start-up value
To enter panel mode, press and hold the GROSS/NET key until the TIME menu is displayed. Use the navigation
keys to move around the menu; to change a value, use the navigation keys to select the digit and increment or
decrement its value. Press the Enter (TARE) key to set the value and return to the menu level above. Figure 1-2
shows the structure of the panel mode menu.
Note: To enter a 2 digit month, the lower digit must be a “1” then the upper digit is incremented to “1”. The lower digit can then
be changed to 0, 1 or 2 as required.

3.0 Configuration
To configure the 120 indicator, the indicator must be placed in setup
mode. The setup switch is accessed by removing the left fillister head SETUP SWITCH
screw on underside of the enclosure and removing the rectangular
switch cover plate. Switch position is changed by inserting a
screwdriver into the access hole and pressing the switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word CONFIG is shown
on the display. The CONFIG menu is the first of nine main menus
FILLISTER-HEAD SCREW
used to configure the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus
are given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete, return to the
CONFIG menu and press the (ZERO) key to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch access screw.
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.

In DELAY mode, the indicator performs a power up display test, then enters a 30-second

operational when the warm up period ends; if motion is detected, the delay timer is reset and
the warm up period repeated.

CANADA zero. NONE allows tares to be acquired at any weight value.
NONE • OIML, NTEP, and CANADA modes allow a tare to be cleared only if the gross weight is at
no load. NONE allows tares to be cleared at any weight value.
• NTEP and OIML modes allow a new tare to be acquired even if a tare is already present.
In CANADA mode, the previous tare must be cleared before a new tare can be acquired.
• NONE, NTEP and CANADA modes allow the scale to be zeroed in either gross or net
mode as long as the current weight is within the specified ZRANGE. In OIML mode, the
scale must be in gross mode before it can be zeroed; pressing the ZERO key in net mode
clears the tare.
CONSNU 0 Consecutive numbering. Allows sequential numbering for print operations. The consecutive
number number value is incremented following each print operation.
The initial value of this parameter is set to the start up value specified on the CONSTU

used for printing.

4.0 Calibration
The 120 can be calibrated using the front panel, EDP commands, or the Revolution™ configuration utility. Each
method consists of the following steps:
• Zero calibration
• Entering the test weight value
• Span calibration
• Optional rezero calibration for test weights using hooks or chains.
The following sections describe the calibration procedure for each of the calibration methods.
