CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
The TI-500E-SS indicator ships with an AC line cord attached to the indicator. The internal power supply
is rated for 100-240 VAC and 50/60 Hz. Simply plug the unit into a standard wall outlet.
CONFIGURATION
OVERVIEW
The indicator contains two main configuration menus:
•
The Setup (“F”) menu, which configures the indicator to your weigh platform
•
The User (“A”) menu, which configures the serial communication port and enables some user
options
The Setup and User menus consist of several menu selections, each with its own sub-menu of selections
or programming procedures. To configure the indicator you must first enter the appropriate 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.
