*
Make 4-20mA connections at this location. Determine if 4-20 mA signal is to be scale
powered, or if it is loop powered (powered by SCADA or PLC). Refer to page 5, Jumper
labeled J-4 for proper settings of scale or loop powered 4-20mA.
Note:
If sense leads are used from load cell to indicator, jumpers J-5 & J-6 must be cut on the
3000™ PC board. If sense leads are not required, then jumpers must be installed. Sense
leads are
only
required if the distance between scale base and digital indicator is in excess of
100’.

General Use Instructions:
Please refer to these instructions for daily use of this scale. These instructions simulate the
procedure for every day usage.
ON AND OFF LOADING USAGE:
To start with a new, FULL tank that will be loaded on & off, please follow these steps:
Please choose a method of usage by Tare or Net Weight:
TARE
: You must know the weight of your empty tank, and any other equipment mounted on
to the tank that will affect the weight. Add this weight together, and turn the black tare knob on
the front of the indicator until it reads that number in the negative. Turn the knob counter-
clockwise in order to achieve negative numbers. Once that negative tare weight is set, you
may load the tank, and apply other equipment on that tank. The weight that registers on the
scale indicator is the NET WEIGHT, or weight of the contents. At this point you will not change
the black tare knob unless you are loading on a new tank. As you use the contents, the weight
decreases. When the tank is at zero, or close to it, you will begin again by removing the empty
tank, setting the tare weight with the black knob (for the new tank + equipment), and begin
using the material again.
NET:
If you do not know the tare weight (it is not stamped on the tank), you may know the Net
Weight (contents in the tank). If this is the case, you will use this procedure:
Load on your full tank and attach any equipment that affects the weight on the scale. Turn the
black tare knob on the front of the indicator until it reads the known NET WEIGHT (weight of
contents only) on the indicator. Clockwise will increase the readings and counter-clockwise
will decrease the readings. When the weight is set for the contents in the tank, do not adjust
this again until you load on a new tank. The reading will decrease until you have used all the
contents in the cylinder, where it will read 0 lb./kg. Start a new tank by removing the old empty
tank, loading on a new full tank, and attaching equipment, and set tare knob to Net weight
again.
For use when FILLING the TANK instead of on & off loading:
To start with a new, EMPTY tank that will be filled while on the scale base, please follow
these steps:
Load the new, empty tank on to the platform. With this weight applied, turn the black tare knob
located on the outside, front of the indicator, until the digital reading says zero. This means
that your digital reading will show net weight, or the weight of the contents alone. As you fill
the tank for the first time, the scale shows the current weight at all times. Do not readjust the
