Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
NOTE: in order to connect the load cells and peripherals, the indicator mustbe opened. However, this may void the warranty. Your GSE distributor isavailable to make the proper internal connections.
IMPORTANT! The 460 Series indicators do not include an on/off switch and,therefore, must be installed near a power outlet socket that is easilyaccessible and in keeping with UL/CSA approval requirements.
WARNING!
Make sure the Model 460 or Model 465 indicator is completely disconnectedfrom the power source before working on it. Any operation that involvesopening the indicator enclosure should be performed only by qualified servicepersonnel and only after the power is disconnected! Hazardous voltage isaccessible within the enclosure. Before you begin the installation of your 460Series indicator, please review the guidelines and step-by-step installationprocedures provided in this chapter.
INFORMATION IMPORTANT!Prendre note que les contrôleurs de serie 350 ne sont pas munisd'interrupteurs "Marche / Arrêt". Par conséquent, il devront être installés prèsd'une source d'alimentation secteur accessible pour demeurer sous lesexigences des normes de sécurité UL/CSA.
Table-Top Use
Each of the standard 460 Series indicators comes with a swivel bracket thatpermits you to tilt the face of the instrument to any desired angle. The bottomof the bracket has non-slip rubber pads. These pads prevent the indicatorfrom scratching and sliding across a table surface when you press the keys.

Chapter 4 Counting Mode
Parts Counting
The Counting mode enables the 460 Series indicators to count the number ofparts on a weigh platform. In order to do this, a sampling operation must firstbe performed to establish the average weight of each of the pieces to becounted. However, if the average piece weight value is already known, youcan key it in directly, thus avoid the sampling operation.
Counting (Features)
Your distributor will set the following modes/features to your requirements.They might slightly change the procedures listed below.
• Auto Sample: The indicator will automatically assume the correct numberof pieces has been added to the scale when the scale stabilizes.
• Auto Enhance: Works in conjunction with % Accuracy to allow theindicator to automatically enhance the average piece weight whenever thenecessary criteria has been met
• Sample Size: The number of pieces used to calculate the average pieceweight
• % Accuracy: The required piece weight accuracy for sample acceptance.• Accuracy Displayed: shows the accuracy of the current average piece

Chapter 8 Printing Operations
Pressing the [PRINT] key will transmit the information in the custom transmit.The custom transmit refers to a table that can be customized to yourapplication. The 460 series indicators are configured with a default factorytransmission, shown below. If this is not the desired transmission formatcontact your GSE distributor.
9876.54 lbs Gross Wt.9864.20 lbs Net Wt. 12.34 lbs Tare Wt.
Custom Transmit (Model 465 Only)
Four independent custom transmit tables permit the RS232 output to beconfigured for an format required by a printer, computer, remote display orany serial device. Two (2) RS232 serial ports are available to send the customtransmit tables. This permits communication with a variety of serial devices forsystems integration.
Print (Model 460)
1. Press [PRINT] – the custom transmit will send the signal via either serialport
Print (Model 465)
1. Press [PRINT] – The custom transmit will send the signal via one of the(2) serial ports. (the unit may be set up to prompt a user to choose whichcustom transmit to send after pressing the [PRINT] button.
Note: The continuous print will transmit the custom-programmed information eachtime the display is updated. If the receiving device (printer, display or computer) cannotreceive the data being sent for any reason, the message "Tx On Hold" will appear for afew seconds. Press [CLR] to abort the transmission. If this situation happens whileusing the continuous print feature, the transmission is suspended, but can be resumedby pressing the [PRINT] key.

Chapter 10 Troubleshooting
Error Messages (Overview)
The following is a summary of some of the error messages within theIndicator.
Operational Mode Error Messages
02 UnderLoad! Input signal less than negative full scale. Possibly due toexcessive loading, reduce the load. Otherwise, check theload cell connections.
03 Over-Load! Input signal (weigh applied to scale) is greater thanpositive full scale (scale capacity). Use same check as forunderload.
04 # > Dsply Number to be displayed will not fit within 6 digits. This willnot normally occur for the Gross, Net or Tare Weights butmay result while displaying the accumulated totals if theamount exceeds 999,999. Either clear the totals or settlefor only being able to transmit the totals.
05 Zero> Max.! An attempt was made to zero out more weight thanallowed. Use the [TARE] key for subtracting off containerweights or if large dead-load is always to be present,apply this dead-load during the No Load? prompt duringcalibration to permanently eliminate the offset.
06 Tare>F.S.! Tare entry was greater than full scale. Most likely theentered tare value was incorrect.
38
Hardware Problem Error Messages
If any of the following errors occur please contact your GSE distributor
21 EEROMerror Error reading data from the EEPROM. (Call distributor)
22 EEROMerror Error writing data to the EEPROM. (Call distributor)
24 EEROMFull! The setup being attempted requires more EEPROM thanis currently installed. (Call distributor)
25 DefltSetup Upon power-up the Indicator has not found the propercodes. Therefore all parameters have been reset tofactory default values.
27 RE-BOOT! The Indicator cannot use the EEPROM for data storage,so it is attempting to power-up again to cure the problem.
28 NoRAMAVAIL The current setup requires more RAM than is currentlyinstalled. Either contact your dealer or the factory.
Calibration Error Messages
30 F.S.>MAX! The entered calibration weight, together with the currentlyapplied signal, indicates that the full-scale signal will begreater than the allowed maximum of the Indicator. Verifythat correct entries have been made for the capacity andthe calibration weight.
31 F.S.<.1mVv The entered calibration weight, together with the currentlyapplied signal, indicates that the full scale signal will beless than the allowed minimum of the Indicator.
32 ADD MORE! The applied weight during calibration was less than 0.1%of capacity. More weight than this is required to calibrate.
33 ReCALReq'd The just completed calibration is insufficient to guaranteeaccurate results due to either the cal weight being lessthan 5% of capacity or this was the first calibration of this
39
platform to this Indicator and therefore the coarse gainwas adjusted by the Indicator. Press [ENTER] to acceptthis calibration or [CLR] to re-calibrate.
Miscellaneous Messages- - EntryError Primary causes are entering a value preceding a key
(such as [ZERO]) which is not allowed, entering alphadata for a numeric selection, or entering a fractional valuefor an entry which only accepts whole numbers..
Communications Error Messages
par'y error This indicates that the parity of a received character didnot match the parity specified . This could also result ifthe baud rate or the number of data bits is incorrect.
ovrun error This indicates an over-run error where an additionalcharacter was received while the receive buffer of the 460Series indicator was full, and thus the extra receivedcharacter will be lost.
frm'g error This indicates that the stop bit of a received character didnot occur when it was expected. This could be the resultof an incorrect baud rate, incorrect number of data bits, orincorrect parity setting.
port error This indicates that the 460 Series indicator did not checkits receive data register in time, thus missing a character.If this error should occur, please notify your GSEdistributor or the factory.
tx on hold This will occur if a data transmission is held up for twoseconds of more due to a de-asserted handshake. Referto the description of parameter P209 for moreinformation.
40
tx abort This occurs if the [CLR] key is pressed when the tx onhold error message is shown.
tx con'd This will appear briefly when the handshake isre-asserted after the tx on hold message occurs.
