 1. Introduction
This device represents the perfect combination of the reliable hardware design
and the software technology. Designed as a excellent weighing instrument up to date,
the device adopts the MCS-51 signal-chip micro processing unit and accurate, speedy
A/D conversion technology. It is convenient for this monitor to be connected to the
convertible resistance sensor as the fix-valued scales, accumulating scales and
packing scales. The CONTROL-PRO C5 can be widely applied in the field of
business, industrial enterprise , storage dock and related weighing environments.

3.2 Main Features of CONTROL-PRO C5 Controlling Indicator

(1) Full keyboard calibration and adjustment.
(2) To be coupled with variety of pin type printers.
(3) Capable of printing weighing records and accumulating value.
(4) Capable of storing, deleting and checking, protecting the data when power off.
(5) Accurate clock, calendar and automatic leap year and month setting, all of which
are not affected by power failure.
(6) Capable of setting the range of zero tracking.
(7) Capable of setting the range of zero setup and starting automatic zero setup.
(8) With tare function.
(9) Capable of setting digital filter intensity.
(10) With self-checking function and multi information indicating.
(11) Serial communication interface (optional of continuity and command).
(12) Scoreboard display interface

2. Calibration
1. Properly connect the load cell to indicator like picture 3-3 to make sure that
the indicator is under normal working condition.
2. There is a 15 pin socket at the rear. A 15 pin plug is sent freely along with
indicator. Find that plug and make the socket short-circuit by connecting 14 & 15
foot.
3. Then calibrate the indicator according to the following table 4-3

Chapter 5. Operation instruction

1. Strart up
Two work model : manual &automatic
Indicator is in manual state before power is off. It will start self checking “0” to “9” after
turning on . it enters weithing status when is finishes
If the weight on platter deviate from “0” after turning on but within start up zero tracking
range . display will zero automatically if beyond set zero set zero tracking range . then
prompt message will appear .

If indicator is in automatic mode before it is powered off . it will display actual weight value
after turning on . left display shows “stop “ at this moment . press[pause] indicator starts
selfchecking . and indicator will zero automactically within the set zero tracking range .
afterwards .if not within the set zero tracking rang then prompt message appear .

2. Zero , tare
(1) press zero ,indicator return to zero . and zero indicating light is on .
(2) displayed value deviate from zero but within set zero tracking range, zero key is
valid .otherwise “zero” key is effective
(3) only when stable indicating light is on ,zero key is valid
(4) tare: under weighing status ,when displayed value is positive and stable .press tare to
deduct the displayed weight as tare.at the moment indicator will display net as “0” ,tare
indicating light is on .
3. print
indicator will deposit the data in memory stick after printing . a complete print record
indludes date , time , net weight . accumulative value.

2. under manual printing status , deposit the cargo on the platform press [print] when it
stables.it will print out weighing record .
if there is tare , deposit the containere on the platform .press [tare] when load the cargo.
Press [ print] when it is stable .then weighing record printed out .

accumulating ,everytime it will restore vacant status . it will be valid after pressing accumulation

6. fixed value set- up

under weighing indicating status ,press [ fixed value] ,display original set point [ dl I ][**] if
correct then pres [ input] key . if not correct then input revised set point value with digit key .
press[ enter]

( i =1,2,3,4 is order no ) if no I set point value is zero then this material operation is slipped

1.manual feeding
Under weighing status press[ feed] once controller output feeding signal .feeding indicating
light is on . then finish the feeding procedure accordingly
3. manual discharging
press [ discharging ] once . controller ouput discharging signal . discharging indicating light
is on . then finish the discharging procedure accordingly

7. start up , stop, pause /continue

press [start up ] controller will enter automatic control procedure
operation ,automatic indication light is on . notice only when [ stop ] and [ pause/continue] key are
valid ,press[ stop ] once any operation on controller will be terminated and exit to weighing status .
in the process of control , press [pause/contine] controller enters pause status . press [ pause/
continue ] again .controller continue its former action .in pause status , only
[stop] ,[pause/continue] keys are valid

9 under weighing status , press[b1] once internal code displayed in the left window . press side
