Radio Link
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum in 32 channels @ 2.4 GHz.
Allows 32 networks of multiple scales. Radio functions in the
ISM band, license free in the USA and Europe. 10mW (low
power) or 100mW (high power) average output.
Radio Link Effective Range
Typically 500’ (150 meters) indoors, standard antennas
Up to 10 miles (16 kilometers) outdoors with gain antennas
RFI/EMI Shielding
Exceeds NIST HB44 and CE Standards.
Housing
Alodined and powder coated cast aluminum. ‘O’ ring gasketed.
NEMA 4, IP66
Connectors
Power and Comm connections are made with heavy duty water-
proof industrial connectors. (Euro Style). Antenna connector is
standard TNC (models manufactured in 2000 use a reversed pin
SMA). Set Points internally wired with cables sealed through
water-tight feedthroughs (glands).
Weight
6.2 lb. (2.8 kg)
STANDARD FEATURES
Scale Monitoring
Each 3750CS can log on to 5 different networks allowing one
meter to serve for 5 separate CellScales. Easy 1 button scale
changes. Each CellScale can access 32 independent Scale Chan-
nels
Calibration
Via RF, the 3750CS can calibrate any CellScale system. Sealing
the system is not necessary due to password protected audit trail
information. Full “Audit Trail” tracking with calibration date,
parametric information, and authorization information may be
printed out the 3750CS Comm Port.
Keypad
23 keys – 5 user programmable, 10 key alphanumeric, and 8
scale control keys

Programmable Features
• Automatic or Manual Tare entry
• 32 Set points with messaging capability
• Peak Hold – for capturing maximum readings
• 32 programmable ID Codes
• Each ID code has an 8 character name, two 20 character
print strings, and stores independently units, tare, total with
weighments counter, and full statistics (Std Dev, Min, Max, Avg,
Variance).
• Automatic Power-Down, for power saving in battery applications
• Backlight On, Off or Automatic
• Lock –The user can lock any or all features to prevent tampering
with setups. Protected by password.
• RS-232 Option will output on demand, on a change, regular
time interval, on a set point, on Total, by computer control or
continuously.
• RS-232 I/O provides full output formatting to interface with
computers, printers, scoreboards and most serial devices.
• Host commands to control the 3750CS from any computer.
• Any weight unit can be turned on or off
Display
• 6 digit .9”/23 mm numeric weight LC display
• 8 digit 0.45”/11 mm alphanumeric LCD (message / units dis-
play / Total Weight display)
• 21 Segment Bar graph for process control % indications, RF
Activity.
• Annunciators for measurement modes
• Sunlight visible LED indicator for Totals, Set Pts 1 and 2
• Photocell activated fiber-optic LED backlighting
Calibration Parameters
See CellScale specifications. All calibration data is stored in
the CellScale, allowing any 3750CS to use any CellScale based
system without recalibration.
Real Time Clock
Supports date / time stamping in US or European time and date.
Backed up by a replaceable Lithium Battery (Typical life >5
years).
Data I/O
1 Comm Port, RS-232. Baud Rates: 300, 600,1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 14.4k, 19.2k, 38.4k. CTS/RTS handshaking. User config-
ured software handshaking.
ID
Up to 32 IDs can be stored in any connected CellScales and are
identified by Alpha-numeric ID names. Each ID stores Totals,
Statistics, Tare values, and two 20 byte string messages.
Totalizing & Statistics
Stored in connected CellScales, printed from the 3750CS. Inter-
nal or external connected Push button or Automatic. Total weight
up to 999,999,999. Weighments counter up to 65,535. Totals
and statistics are stored with each ID register. Each ID code
keeps full statistics on totaled weighments. Included are Standard
Deviation, Average, Minimum, Maximum, and Coefficient of
Variance.
OPTIONS
Vehicle Power Supply
Transient protected Power Supply for operating the 3750CS from
vehicles. Available in two ranges: 9-36Vdc and 18-60Vdc. Sup-
plied with 13’ (4m) cable.
Universal Power Supply
