WEIGHT SUMMATION FUNCTION
(FIRMWARE VERSION 6.40 AND ABOVE)
The EI-2000 has the ability to sum all of the scales connected to the meter (up to two) as well
as two additional scales, which are connected to another EI-2000 (secondary) meter.
P990 SUM CH (sum all channels)
YES: Sum all active scale inputs. Net or gross total is selectable from the front panel.
NO: Scale inputs are not summed.
P991 SUM SEL (sum selection)
rE: Remaining weights are summed (most applications).
Gr: Gross weights are summed.
P992 SUM EXT (sum external EI-2000).
YES: Sum all active scales. Up to four scales are summed and displayed.
NO: External (secondary) EI-2000 is not present.
Note: The sum cannot be viewed on the secondary meter.
VIEWING THE SUMMED WEIGHT
To view the summed weight, press SELECT until “
Gr t”
or “
rE t”
is displayed. The display will
alternate between the label (Gr t/nE t) and the weight. In some scale modes, the total display
is only viewable when there is a load on the scale.
PRIMARY/SECONDARY EI-2000 CONNECTIONS & CONFIGURATION
Primary meter:
P990=YES, P991=don’t care, P992=YES
Secondary meter:
P990=NO
The following parameters must be set the same in both meters:
P700=BAS, P701=9600, P702=8, P703=1, P704=NONE, P705=don’t care
Note: If only one channel is enabled on the primary meter, the total weight is always displayed on the
right display of the primary meter. This is useful when three channels are enabled (one on the primary
meter and two on the secondary meter).
Connections are below (connect C to C, R to T, & T to R):
