INSTALLATION, Cont.
Battery Status
If batteries are used, the indicator will show the battery status on power up. The display will
show battry then change to ð YY ð, where YY indicates the remaining battery voltage
expressed as a percentage (%) of the total battery voltage.
Battery Charging
To recharge the Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, the power supply must be connected to a AC power
outlet and plugged into the indicator. It will take approximately 15 hours to fully recharge the
batteries in the scale. While the batteries are charging the 204 can still be operated. Note that
charging the batteries for more than 15 hours
will not
damage them.
When the 204 is to be turned off, pressing the
ON/OFF
key once will display “dashes" scrolling
across the display indicating the batteries are being charged. Pressing
the ON/OFF
key
again, will display
OFF
and turn the 204 off. If the power supply is disconnected before the 15
hours, the indicator will continue to charge the batteries when the power supply is plugged
back in.
NOTE: When the 204 is turned off, the indicator is NOT charging the batteries.
Load Cell Connection
The load cell cable connects to the 204 via a 9-pin "D" connector on the rear panel of the
indicator. Figure No. 4 shows the pin identification for the load cell connector. Make certain
that the pins are correctly identified before soldering a wire to them. Use the connector
retaining screws to hold the load cell cable connector securely to the rear panel.

Load Cell Connection With Over 30 Feet of Cable
For installations with over 30 feet of cable between the indicator and the load cells, sense
wires should be used. The sense wires must be connected between the +SENS and the -
SENS terminals on the indicator and the +EXCITATION and the -EXCITATION wires of the
load cells or the +SENS and -SENS terminals of the load cell trim board or the section seal
trim board. For the indicator to utilize the sense wires, the sense jumpers must be open.
