2.4.1 Remote Switcher

The 120 Plus indicator has provisions to connect an external input device such as a press switch (purchased
separately) to provide a keypad function. The keypad function can be set in the SETPNT menu; the external device
must provide a normally open (N.O.) momentary switch contact. The remote switch input requires a voltage free
contact between RSW input and GND.

2.4.2 Setpoints Output

Output drivers for the 120 Plus are isolated open emitter transistor drives that are capable of driving up to
a total of 800mA. This configuration allows for the direct connection of the 120 Plus outputs to most types of
PLC.
The voltage applied to the COM terminal appears on the output lines (i.e. OUT1 and OUT2) when the outputs are
active (e.g. To connect to a PLC connect +24V to the common terminal). The outputs can then be connected
directly to PLC inputs so when the outputs are active the PLC will see a 24V signal.
To drive external loads (e.g. relays), connect the relay coil positive supply to the output common and the output
line directly to one side of the relay coil. Connect the other end of the relay coil to the negative supply. It is
recommended that fly-back diodes or transient suppressors be fitted across relay coils to limit switching noise.

2.5.1 Battery Tips

Battery life depends on the load, use frequency, temperature, setting, and accessories you use. Always use Rice
Lake Weighing Systems original batteries (PN 103637) and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage caused
by using non-Rice Lake batteries and/or chargers.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge. When charging your battery,
keep it near room temperature.
Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10C (14F) or above 45C (113F).
It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you notice a change in
your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/
discharge cycles. The battery may self-discharge while in storage on the shelf and require a full
battery charge upon first usage. The average charge time for the battery is eight hours.
Do not dispose of used batteries in normal trash. Follow the proper disposal or recycling requirements in
accordance with local laws and regulations.
When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode. Regulations vary for different areas.
WARNING Dispose of batteries in accordance to local regulations.

To calibrate the indicator using EDP commands, the indicator EDP port must be connected to a terminal or
personal computer. See Section 2.2 on page 7 for EDP port pin assignments; see Appendix A Electronic Data
Processing Commands EDP for more information about using EDP commands. Once the indicator is connected to
the sending device, do the following:
1. Place the indicator in configuration mode (the display reads CONFIG) and remove all weight from the scale
platform. If your test weights require hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on the scale for zero
calibration.
2. Send the WZERO command to calibrate zero. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress.
NOTE: During EDP command calibration, the *CAL* message remains on the display. Once the calibration
is complete, the OK message appears on the display.
3. Place test weights on the scale and use the WVAL command to enter the test weight value in the following
format: WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>.
4. Send the WSPAN command to calibrate span. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress.
5. To remove an offset value, clear all weight from the scale, including hooks or chains used to hang test
weights, and then send the REZERO command. The indicator displays *CAL* while the zero and span
calibrations are adjusted.

Using Front Panel Editing
Using the PFORMT menu (see Figure 3-8), you can edit the print format string by changing the hex values of the
ASCII characters in the format string.
To edit a print format, do the following:
1. In configuration mode, use the navigation keys to go to the PFORMAT menu. Press the 8 key to show the
EDIT submenu.
2. Press the 8 key again to show the print format string. Use the 4 key and the 6 key to scroll through the
format. The number position of each character is shown in the two digits at the left of the display.
To Edit a Character:
1. Press the ENTER key while the character is displayed. The right most digit blinks, indicating that it can be
changed. Use the 2 key and 8 keys to increase or decrease the value, or use the 4 key to move to the next
digit. Press the ENTER key to save any changes and advance to the next character in the string.
2. If done, press the 2 key to return to the EDIT submenu.
To Insert One of More Characters:

1. Move the cursor to the character after which new characters are to be inserted.
2. Press the 2 key to return to the EDIT submenu, and then press the 6 key to show the INSERT parameter.
3. Press the ENTER key to insert one character; press repeatedly to add more characters. Each press of the
ENTER key adds a character at the location last shown under EDIT submenu and shifts all subsequent
characters to the right. Inserted characters are assigned hex value 00 (null). To edit inserted characters,
return to the EDIT submenu and make changes as described in this section To edit a character.
To Delete One of More Characters

1. Move the cursor to the character to be deleted.
2. Press the 2 key to return to the EDIT submenu, and then press the 6 key twice to show the DELETE
parameter.
3. Press ENTER key to delete one character; press repeatedly to delete more characters. Each press of the
ENTER key deletes a character, starting at the location last shown under EDIT submenu, and then moving
left to preceding characters. Each deletion shifts all subsequent characters to the left.
The format of the characters to be entered is shown.

Note
EDP or Electronic Data Processing refers to a PC or a terminal that can enter ASCII characters using a keyboard and a
screen via the EDP interface of the 120 Plus.
Some characters cannot be displayed on the 120 Plus front panel (See the ASCII character chart in Appendix C - ASCII
Set and Specifications and Appendix E - Front Panel Display Characters on pages 44 and 48.) and are shown as blanks.
The 120 Plus can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed depends on the particular ASCII character
set implemented for the receiving device.

Appendix
Appendix A Electronic Data Processing Commands EDP
The EDP port and commands may be used to set indicator parameters, retrieve indicator parameters, and set print
formats.
To set parameter values, enter the corresponding EDP commands from the terminal. In order to set the parameter
values, use the following format:
Command=Parameter Value"
For example: To set GRADS (graduations) to 5000, do the following:

grads=5000 (Press "Enter" on the keyboard)
OK
OK: Indicates the setting was valid.
To retrieve parameter values, send the parameter name. For example: To retrieve the GRADS (graduations) value,
do the following:
grads (Press "Enter" on the keyboard)
5000
The value of GRADS is returned as 5000.
If an unknown command is sent, or a known command is sent, but an attempt is made to set it to an incorrect value,
the indicator will respond with double question marks (??).

Appendix C ASCII Set and Specifications
Use the decimal values for ASCII characters listed in the table, when specifying print format strings on the 120
Plus PFORMT menu. The actual character printed depends on the character mapping used by the output device.
The 120 Plus can send and receive any ASCII character value (decimal 0-255) but the indicator display is limited
to numbers, upper- case, unaccented letters, and a few special characters.

8.6
Gravity Compensation
This feature is used to compensate for the variance in gravitational pull from one location to another and is
available for the 120+. To calibrate with gravity compensation, the GRAVADJ parameter must be set to ON,
and the LATITUD (latitude in degree) and ELEVATN (elevation in meters, relative to sea level) parameters
set before calibrating the 120+.
If the indicator is later installed at a different location, gravity compensation can be applied to a pre-calibrated
120+ by adjusting the LATITUD and ELEVATN parameters.
Gravity is greater at the poles than at the equator and decreases with increase in altitude. The effect of
gravity at any given location can be calculated using the following formula:gCAL = 9.80632 - 0.0258Cos(0.0349065850CAL) + 0.00003Cos(0.00698131701) - 0.00000293hCAL
(EQ 1)
gOpa = 9.80632 - 0.0258Cos(0.0349065850OPA) + 0.00003Cos(0.00698131701) - 0.00000293hOPA
(EQ 2)
Where = degrees latitude and h = height in meters
Opa =
WCAL
g Opa
if GRAVADJ = ON
Opa =
WCAL
if GRAVADJ = OFF
gCAL
For example:
Calibration location at Canada Magog, and Operation location at Taiwan Taipei.
The geographic data and calculation:
Magog: = 45 and h = 222m, Taipei: = 23 and h = 10m
gCAL = 9.80564, g Opa = 9.78836

WOpa =
WCAL
9.78836
= 1.00174WCAL
9.80564
That means a mass at operation location, ever one kilogram more 1.74 gram. In this way,
the same mass will weight in both location is same.
