CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE TI-500 SERIES DIGITAL INDICATORS
The TI-500 Series Digital Indicator is a general purpose, industrial grade weight indicator. Six
models are currently available, distinguishable by display type, enclosure type and power supply.
Table 1-1 shows the TI-500 Series product matrix.
All models operate identically, can readout up to 50,000 display divisions and can supply enough
current for up to 4-350
Ω
load cells. All setup parameters may be entered via the front panel keys,
including calibration.
For certain models, an internal 6V rechargeable battery is available as the primary power source.
The external power supply with these units functions as a charger for the rechargeable battery.
The power supply may also be used as the main power supply.
If your Model TI-500 Series Digital Indicator is part of a complete floor scale or has been installed
for you, you may skip to Chapter 7 for operating instructions. Prior to using the indicator, please
read this chapter carefully and completely. Store the manual in a safe and convenient place so it
will be available if you have questions concerning the operation of the scale.
If you are an installer, the indicator's installation and wiring instructions are found in Chapter 2.
The indicator contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu, which configures the
indicator to your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu, which configures the serial
communication port and enables some user options. Chapter 3 gives an overview and explains
how to use the five front panel keys to maneuver and save settings in both menus. Chapters 4
and 5 explain the Setup and User Menu options, respectively. Chapter 6 covers system
calibration. Prior to installing the indicator, please read this manual carefully and completely.
Store the manual in a safe and convenient place so it will be available if you have questions
concerning the setup and operation of the scale.
