Introduction and Installation

Introduction
This manual covers installation, operation and troubleshooting for the Ohaus I5S
Indicator Standard. To ensure proper operation of the indicator, please read this
manual completely.

Description
The Ohaus I5S Indicator Standard is a rugged, reliable electronic weight indicator
that is made in the U.S.A. and is designed to be easy to operate. It can be easily
connected to Ohaus or other brands of Scale Bases. The I5S Indicator has been
NTEP tested and found to comply with Class III and IIIL requirements of NIST HB44
for 1:5000 performance in pounds, kilograms, ounces or grams. The I5S Indicator
can be wall, bench or tower mounted. The I5S Indicator can drive up to four 350
ohm load cells and provides capacity selections up to 10,000 lbs/kgs with a
maximum resolution of 1:20,000. The indicator is constructed of extruded
aluminum with removable plastic end caps and is extremely durable. The I5S
operates from six Alkaline "C" batteries and can also be powered externally using
the AC adapter supplied. A six and a half digit LCD display which is 0.6 inches/
1.5 centimeters in height provides easy visibility when working at distances from
the indicator. Two switches mounted on the front panel enable simple set up of
configuration and feature parameters. A menu lock-out switch can be set to lock
out various functions of the indicator to prevent settings from being changed.
Accessories include: an RS232 Interface Kit, a Wall Mount Accessory kit, and a
Tower Mounting Accessory Kit.

Error Codes
DISPLAYED
MESSAGE

DESCRIPTION
Flashes at 10 second intervals when batteries are weak. Approximately 2 minutes of operating time remain.
Underload condition.
Overload condition.

Err 0:

Invalid memory checksum, on either cal data, parameters, or both.


Checksum is verified every time I5S is turned on. Check setup
parameters in menus and recalibrate. If error persists, a hardware
problem may exist and unit must be serviced.

Err 1:

Overload error. (Interface only). This error shows as all upper


segments on the display.

Err 2:

Underload error. (Interface only). This error shows as all lower


segments on the display.

Err 4:

Invalid calibration error. This error usually occurs during the


calibration procedure when there is insufficient signal for the Scale
Base as compared to the indicator set up parameters.
In LFT operation, this error will occur if an attempt to calibrate the
indicator when the active range of the load cell is less than
1.2 mv/v for the active full-scale load. Recheck the load cell rating,
set up parameters, and calibration weights.

Err 14:

Attempt to zero balance when zero criteria are not met. Zero
criteria can change depending on user settings and whether or not
the indicator is doing a power-on zero or a normal zero. See poweron zero operation for more details.

Err 21:

Calibration data does not match current Full Scale, Grad and Cal
Point settings. Settings must be restored or the indicator must be
recalibrated using the current settings.

Err 22:

The current combination of Grad and Full Scale settings exceeds


rated resolution (1:5,000 LFT, 1:20,000 non-LFT). This can occur
if the user modifies the Full Scale setting, then attempts to exit the
SETUP menu without entering the Grad submenu. Once the user

39

Troubleshooting

entered the Grad submenu, graduation selection will be limited to choices that do
not exceed rated resolution.
Err 23:

Retain is enabled in the Scale menu, but valid Retain data does not
exist. Normal power-on zero operation will occur. The new poweron zero, since Retain is enabled, will be written to the EEPROM and
used as valid retain data the next time the indicator is turned on.

Err 24:

An attempt was made to process an interface command that is


currently locked by the lock switch.

Err 25:

Attempt to leave the SEL submenu with all units turned off.
