PUSHBUTTONS
The EI-4000 has a set of four pushbuttons. The functions are
typically indicated by the bottom line on the LCD (SEL CHAN
ZRO MNU). Some displays have a hidden function that is
documented where applicable in this manual. The push buttons
from left to right are PB1 (left-most), PB2, PB3 and PB4 (right-
most).
WEIGHT DISPLAY SCREENS
1:GR 0.0 lb
SEL SCL ZERO MNU
When the meter is powered, the main weight screen is displayed. One can select, via the
appropriate select (SEL) pushbutton, several weight values; they are shown below. However,
if the meter is operating in modes two through five, the weight on the scale must be above
the threshold (explained later) in order to select tare, remaining and used weight displays.
Gross weight
This is the total weight on the scale, which includes the weight of
the container (e.g., cylinder, tank, or barrel) and the weight of the
product. The “GR” text is short for gross weight. The gross weight
can be zeroed if ZERO is displayed above the PB3 pushbutton (see the display at the top of
this page).
Tare weight
This is the weight of the container (e.g., cylinder, tank, or barrel).
Remaining weight (a.k.a. net weight)
This is the weight of the product (e.g., Chlorine) that the container
holds. The “REM” text is short for remaining (net) weight.
Used weight
This is the weight of the amount used since the scale was last
zeroed, which is done by either “starting” the channel (operating
modes 2, 3, and 4) or pressing the
ZERO
pushbutton while
viewing this display. This value increases with decreasing weight on the scale since it
represents the amount of product used so far.
The gross, remaining and tare formula is as follows:
[REMAINING WEIGHT] = [GROSS WEIGHT] – [TARE WEIGHT]

If two or more channels are enabled, the CHAN (channel)
pushbutton is available to select another channel. If less than four
channels are enabled (i.e., two or three), CH4 is replaced by an
ESC (escape) pushbutton so one can return to the main operating screen. If no selection is
made after three seconds, the screen returns to the main weight display.
