Operating Modes
The 520 has four modes of operation:
Normal mode
Normal mode is the weighing mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as required,
using the secondary display to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed.
Setup mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual require the indicator to be in setup mode, including
configuration and calibration.
To enter setup mode, remove the large fillister head screw from the enclosure backplate. Insert a screwdriver or
a similar tool into the access hole and press the setup switch once. The indicator display changes to show the
word
CONFIG.
Test mode
Test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the 520 indicator. Like setup mode, test mode is
entered using the setup switch. See Section 12.13 on page 86 for more information about entering and using
test mode.
Front Panel Setup mode
Front panel setup mode is used to change setpoint and/or checkweigh values and to set the time and date. See
Section 1.3.8 on page 4 for more information about entering front panel setup mode.
