POUND (lb) AND KILOGRAM (kg) UNITS OPERATION
The EI-1000 and EI-2000 meters may operate using lb or kg units. DIP switch S1-3 selects
the desired unit. If one wishes to switch to the other unit, simply flip the switch to the opposite
setting; no recalibration is necessary. It is necessary to select the proper S1-3 switch setting
so the unit selection works properly (i.e., do not calibrate the scale in kg if the S1-3 switch is
set to lbs). Also, all parameters that were set using the previous units are converted to the
equivalent value of the newly selected unit.
EI-1000 CHANNEL/SCALE BASE SELECTION
If more than one channel is enabled, the RIGHT ARROW pushbutton selects which channel
currently being displayed. Note: The first press of the RIGHT ARROW pushbutton displays,
for one-second, the selected channel (CH x), and the subsequent presses change the
channel.
OPERATING MODES
The EI-1000 & EI-2000 meters have five operating modes to simplify user interactions with
the meter. The descriptions below will reference the set of pushbuttons for the left or right
(CH1 or CH2) channel on the EI-2000 or the set of pushbuttons on the EI-1000 that control
all, up to four, scales. Configuration parameter P001 selects which operating mode, 1 thru 5,
is enabled for all scales.
MODE 1: FULLY MANUAL MODE
Typical application: drum scales, bin and hopper scales - Remaining, tare, & gross weights
are displayable.
1. An empty scale should read zero. If it does not, press the ZERO pushbutton. If
“no 0” is displayed, access the calibration mode to zero the scale.
2. Place container on the scale.
3. Press the SELECT pushbutton to go to the tare weight.
4. If necessary, adjust the tare weight value via the arrow pushbuttons.
5. Press the SELECT pushbutton to go to the remaining weight.
