Introduction

The PC-150 Digital Bench Scale is a com-

pact, 150 lb (70 kg) capacity bench scale

with display and five function keyboard. It

comes standard with a bright LED screen for

easy readout, a removable stainless steel

platform, and an RS-232C serial communi-

cation port.

The scale can be configured to display its

divisions in two separate modes – non-

NTEP mode and NTEP mode. The scale is

shipped from the factory configured in non-

NTEP mode. The NTEP mode is supplied

for scales that need to comply with Hand-

book 44 requirements. To re-configure the

scale, please refer to the “Setup Menu

Mode” section of the manual.

The PC-150 uses full duplex RS-232C serial

format for communication with personal

computers or remote displays. The unit can

transmit data on demand or continuously in

several popular data protocols.

The scale’s serial communication parame-

ters are altered through the User menu The

“User Menu Mode” section of the manual

explains how to use the five front panel keys

to maneuver and save settings in this menu.

Installation and Wiring

The PC-150 back panel comes equipped

with a female DSUB-9 connector for the

RS-232 serial port, a jack for DC power

input, a calibration switch and an

ON/OFF rocker switch. To install the

scale, simply plug the enclosed AC Wall

Adapter into the scale’s DC power jack

first, then into an AC outlet (115 VAC

only). Finally, turn the rocker switch to the

ON (“1”) position. The scale is now ready

for use.

KEY FUNCTION

ZERO

Sets scale to display "0" only when a) in Gross mode, b) not in overload and c) not in

motion.

NET

GROSS

Toggles between Gross and Net weight display if a tare has been established.

TARE

Used to establish the weight on the platform as the tare weight. You cannot establish

zero or negative gross weight as a tare. Also, the scale must not be in motion or in

overload.

Toggles between lb and kg units if enabled in the User (“A”) Menu.

Sends "Print" data to serial port if scale is not in motion or in overload.

Revision 1.2

User Menu Mode

The PC-150 scale includes a User menu that contains the scale's serial communication parame-

ters. It consists of 5 separate menu selections, each also with its own sub-menu of choices.

To change a listed parameter, you must first enter the User Menu mode. Once there, four of the

front panel keys become directional navigators to move around in the menus, and one key is used

to save or SET the selections.

To place the unit in User menu mode:

1. Turn the power off to the unit.

2. While holding down the lb/kg

key, turn the power back on.

3. When the display shows "A1",

the unit is in User Menu mode,

and you can release the lb/kg

key. Shown at right are the direc-

tional and SET key assignments

Calibration /

Continued

To calibrate the scale:

1. If you are already in Setup Menu Mode, scroll to “F 12” and press the ZERO key. Otherwise,

turn the scale off and set the Calibration Switch on the back panel to the opposite position.

Turn the unit back on.

The message "C 0" appears on the display briefly, followed by a value which remains on the

screen. Allow a 20 minute warm-up period for the load cell and electronics to become ther-

mally stable.

2. Press ZERO to zero the value, then press the NET/GROSS key to save the zero point value.

3. The display will momentarily prompt "C 1" for the span calibration, followed by "0.00" with one

digit flashing. Place the test weight on the platform.

4. Use the four directional keys to adjust the displayed value to the actual test weight value in

pounds. Increase the flashing digit by pressing the lb/kg key. Decrease the flashing digit by

pressing the ZERO key. The position of the flashing digit may be changed by pressing the

PRINT key or the TARE key.

5. After setting the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value.

6. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "ECAL" momentarily, then freeze. Exit

the Calibration mode and enter the Normal Operating Mode by positioning the Calibration

Switch back to its original position.

7. If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the

indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration.

"Err0" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is larger than full scale.

Change the calibration test weight or check the keyed-in weight.

"Err1" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is smaller than 1% of full

scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the keyed-in weight.

"Err2" - Check keyed-in weight with the actual weight placed on platform.

To place the unit back into the Normal Operating mode:

1. Toggle the Calibration Switch back to its original position.

2. The display will go through a digit check, then settle into Normal Operating mode. All front

panel keys will now return to their normal mode of operation.
