GSE indicators may be programmed with a powerful macro language or User C and can connect with scoreboards, printers, scanners, feeders, photo sensors, switches and relays. GSE products are sold through an international network of distributors and equipment manufacturers that can provide you with a simple "off the shelf" solution or a sophisticated custom application to improve your productivity and increase the accuracy of your processes.
Of course since Central Carolina Scale has been a GSE distributor for many years we have experience with many of the older items like the and indicator or the counting scale. Unfortunately, most of the GSE scale lineup has been discontinued.
This chapter provides instructions for installing the 60 Series instruments and connecting them to load cells. Please review the step-by-step procedures for your particular controller model before you install it. All 60 Series instrumentation share the following features: The keypads are made of silicon rubber. Specifications that describe the reactions of this material to various solvents are available from GSE.
The display window is made from a polycarbonate material. The gasket for the display is a closed cell polyethylene foam with a rubber based pressure sensitive adhesive. Although resistant to water, detergent, and alcohol, this gasket may be adversely affected by aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.
The rear panel gasket on stainless steel indicators is made from an FDA approved Silicone. Stainless steel models may be used in a washdown environment.
Care must be taken to ensure that the AC power socket outlet is properly protected. For models , , , , , , and , a dura-shield is also available to protect the lens and keypad. Contact your local GSE distributor for more information. All general setup, calibration, and custom programming operations of the panel-mount versions are identical to those of the respective standard versions. Differences between the standard and panel mount versions are mainly in the enclosure and the position of both the main printed circuit board and display.
Standard and controllers have a swivel bracket for table-top use. Panel-mount versions of the and controllers are designed for permanent mounting in washdown environments and do not have a swivel bracket. The main printed circuit board is orientated so that the component side faces away from the display and the non-component side faces the same direction as the keypad, allowing easy servicing. In addition, a rear cover protects the main board and components against physical and electrical damage.
The standard and indicators can be installed for table-top use or permanent mounting. Any operation that involves opening the controller enclosure should be performed only by qualified service personnel and only after the power is completely disconnected from the power source. Hazardous voltage is accessible within the enclosure!
A swivel bracket with non-slip rubber feet enables tilting of the controller face to any viewing angle without the controller sliding when you press the keys. The holes are 0.

The maximum excitation supply current available for the load cell s is Series mA; twelve 12 ohm load cells Series mA; fourteen 14 ohm load cells Series mA; fourteen 14 ohm load cells. The load cell cable should be routed into the controller enclosure through the strain relief nearest the J2 loadcell connector.
Refer to Table for wiring information. Six-lead cables include two extra wires for sensing the actual excitation voltage at the load cell. This connection compensates for variations in the resistance of the excitation wiring which can change due to variations in temperature, especially over long distances. If the load cell has six leads, the jumpers E1 and E2 next to the J2 connector should be set to the EXT bottom position.
This jumpers the excitation voltage to the sense leads on the main board, providing the required excitation feedback in the absence of the sense leads. The PC board mounting nut is used to establish the earth ground reference for the PC board circuitry, so the nut must always be in place when the controller is powered up! For load cells with six conductors, two jumpers E1 and E2, next to J2 on the Main PC Board must be adjusted so external sensing can be operational.
Strip back the jacket of the weigh platform load cell cable approximately 3 cm 1. Using a small screwdriver, create an opening in the braided shield, just past the end of the jacket. Pull the wires out of the braided shield. Strip back the insulation of each conductor wire 0. Twist the strands of each conductor to aid insertion into J2.
Do not tin the leads. The lever connectors are designed to provide a gas tight vibration proof connection to stranded wires. Tinning the leads decreases the connection reliability. Loosen the nearest strain relief and route the load cell cable through it. View the main PC board and locate the lever connector labeled J2.
Connect the four or six conductors to the proper terminals, as described in Table Refer to the load cells color wiring code for the proper colors for each connection. Use a small screwdriver to apply force to the lever connector, as shown in Figure Insert the lead in place, as shown in Figure for a Series indicator or Figure for a Series or Series controller.
Test all connections by pulling lightly on each conductor. Pull any excess cable back out of the controller through the strain relief until there is no slack between the shield connection and the strain relief. Tighten down the strain relief securely to ensure a firm grip on the cable.
A 16X40 LCD is available as the primary display for the and controllers. Both displays interface to the same factory-installed LCD driver board as shown in Figure and Figure A low-tone, variable speed warble will occur at power-up if the LCD driver board is installed but the display is not connected to J3. Once detected, the LCD is automatically selected as the primary display.
Only a custom transmit directed out comm4 would allow communication to the 4X20 VFD. A contrast setting that allows good viewing at a high temperature might make the display impossible to read at a low temperature. This would make it difficult to access P to change the contrast. If the display is not visible at power-up you can adjust the contrast as follows: 1.
Power down. Hold down the left, down and right arrow keys. Power up. Continue to hold the left, down and right arrow keys until you can see the contrast adjustment menu on the display, then release. Make fine adjustments to the contrast by pressing the up and down arrow keys.
However proper keypad operation can not always be guaranteed when installing a replacement main board due to the fact that some indicators support multiple keypad styles. A keypad will not operate correctly when it does not match the configuration of the main board. And since the keypad does not operate correctly, it is impossible to use the conventional method to access the setup mode and change P to the correct style keypad.
Instead, holding down various keys at power-up as described below will automatically configure P to reflect the connected keypad. Continue holding the key until M release. Continue holding the keys until M release. Use these keys for firmware dated after September 28, However, should the keypad not operate correctly, follow the same procedure as described above for the to display M Keypd at power-up.
However, the key keypad used by the Series is also compatible and would require reconfiguration if connected to a Series main board. If the keypad does not operate correctly at power-up, configure the keypad as follows: 1. Continue holding the keys until either M Keypd is displayed, then release. Previously M was displayed. Topics covered include accessing the parameter setup mode, navigating setup parameters, entering parameter values, exiting the parameter setup mode, and downloading setup parameters.
These parameters can only be accessed by entering the setup mode as described later in this chapter. A setup parameter is identified by the letter P followed by a three, four or five-digit number and a decimal point.
The example below shows parameter , the parameter used to enable a scale for use. P10 02 Refer to Appendix D for a complete list of setup parameters and parameter selections.
The digits to the right of the decimal point define the current numeric selection for the displayed parameter. You can key in the full-edit access code when viewing parameters if you with to begin making changes. For example,. Note that the display briefly shows -No- Mods!
This indicates that no modifications can be made to any parameter. Changing parameter selections are only possible by entering the setup mode using the full-edit access method. In order to change the current selection for any of the setup parameters you must access the setup mode by keying in the desired parameter number and entering a security access code. Accessing a Specific parameter You can access a specific parameter by keying in the parameter number and applicable instance prior to pressing [SELECT].
This method also works with view-only and limited access. If the program jumper is set to NO you will not be granted access to edit setup parameters by any means. Attempting to do so will result in a Code 16 Check Jumpr error message. Whereas the full-edit access method allows changes to all setup parameter selections, using the limited access code permits changes to be made to all parameters except any macros or custom transmits that are protected by limited access.
Any macros or custom transmit tables that are protected by limited access yes at P or P respectively will not be viewable, cannot be changed and will not appear in the download output at P This allows the programmer to give others access to important field configurable parameters such as zero tracking and motion delay while protecting the main program routines from unauthorized changing or copying.
When using the limited access code it is advisable to assign a PIN number to the full-edit access code at P as the default GSE access code is widely known and if used will give full access to all setup parameters. PIN s will not be viewable. Custom transmits will not be viewable or printable if specified as limited access at parameter P Macro debug will not be viewable if specified as limited access at P Sending setup will not print any parameter protected by limited access.
If you forget your PIN number, you will not be able to access the setup mode by any means. There is no back door access. If you are sure you entered the code correctly, then it is likely that a PIN number has been entered or changed. Program Jumper in NO Position It is not possible to enter the setup mode by any means if the main board program jumper is in the NO position.
Attempting to do so will result in a Code16 Check Jumpr error message. Move the program jumper to the YES position and try again. Keys Disabled Front panel keys can be disabled in the setup mode or redefined to invoke macro routines.
This could effect the normal use of the keys required to invoke the setup mode. This situation usually does not generate an error message it simply ignores key presses or performs other functions when keys are pressed. You can reset the keypad to a normal condition by holding down the [CLR] key on power-up until Macro Disbl is displayed. This will enable all keys to their normal function and inhibit the execution of all macros, thus allowing you to access the setup mode.
For example, from the tare mode. PIN numbers are also entered this way. Multipleinstance parameters will be repeated for each enabled instance. On the M, use of the character scroll keys see Character Entry on page to enter the parameter number.
Multiple Instance Parameters. If an instance is not specified for multiple instance parameters, the parameter accessed will be the first instance of the first parameter within the parameter group. A multiple instance parameter can be directly accessed by including the desired instance number with the parameter number. Separate the parameter number and instance with a decimal. The function of these keys depends on the currently selected setup parameter see Table For a complete list of key functions, see page A Moves back one parameter.
Scrolls through a list of choices or enters a keyed-in value. Clears a keyed-in value or an entry in process. Advances to the next instance of the currently displayed setup parameter. Moves back to the previous instance of the currently displayed setup parameter.
Moves directly to the instance specified by for the currently displayed setup parameter for example. Shows the instance of the currently displayed multi-instance setup parameter. Begins alpha entries. Scrolls forward through alpha characters. Scrolls through the list of operating parameters in the Pick Parm list. Scrolls backward through alpha characters. Toggles between the normal and expanded view modes in a custom transmit table.
Advances one character in the custom transmit, input interpreter and macro tables. Shifts right during alpha entry to begin scrolling next character. Moves back one character in the custom transmit, input interpreter and macro tables. Shifts left backspace one character during alpha entry. Exit setup mode or enter calibration. PARAMETER TYPES There are three types of setup parameters parameters that require a value to be keyed in, parameters that require a numeric entry representing one selection from a list of choices and parameters that require the entry of an operating parameter.
Refer to Table for each parameters type. The entry will appear as the new parameter value exactly as it was keyed in. Examples of key-in parameters include full scale capacity P , time P and variable names P The number entered will be displayed to the right of the parameter number and the lower portion of the prompting display will show the text equivalent of the selection.
Examples of selectable value parameters are units P , baud rate P and beeper volume P To change a selection, key in the number corresponding to the desired selection see Appendix D for a complete list of parameter selection values.
