1.1 Operating Modes
The 590 AG Indicator has several modes of operation:
Normal (Weighing) Mode
Normal mode is the “production” mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross weight, using the LCD
annunciators described in Section 1.3 to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed. Once
configuration is complete and a legal seal is affixed to the back of the indicator, the 590 AG Indicator can operate
only in normal mode.
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 indicator. Like setup mode, test mode is entered using
the setup switch. See Section 8.7 for more information about entering and using test mode.
Standby mode
Standby mode is a configurable low-power mode used to extend battery life when the indicator is inactive. In
standby mode, the LCD display shows the word
STNDBY ; press any key to exit standby mode. See Section 3.2.5 for
information about configuring standby mode.
