SPECIFICATIONS
Voltage Range: 11V – 36V DC (12V & 24V machinery) with reverse polarity protection
*For systems manufactured on or before 31DEC2017
9.0V – 36V DC (12V & 24V machinery) with reverse polarity protection
*For systems manufactured on or after 01JAN2018
-Limited to 11-16V with SLC2810 or ISOBUS compliant systems
-Gives Low Battery Warning below 11VDC and stops weight display. Recovers and
resumes weighing once voltage is at or above 11VDC.
Current @ 13.8VDC: <0.2A base scale with 4 load cells, up to 5.0A max with active output & all options.
Internal self-resetting fuses for PCB protection & SLC remote protection.
<0.2A ISOBUS SL2 + 4 load cells, no external options
<0.5A ISOBUS SL2 + 16 load cells, no external options
ERM modules add <0.1A to system
SLC2810 adds <0.1A to system
Load Cell Platforms: 16 Maximum 350 ohm transducers; 1 scale platform x 16 bars, 2 scale platforms x 8
bars each, or 4 scale platforms x 4 bars each
Load Cell Excitation: Regulated 8.0VDC, 500mA max, current sensing and overcurrent protected
Operating Environment: -40C to +65C (-40F to 149F); 0 to 95% RH non-condensing
*SLC2810 remote display limited to -29C to +60C (-20F to 140F)
Enclosure: IP65 per IEC529 methods (dust and low pressure water resistant)
Remote Input: Detects open or closed switch state based on software setting. 0 – 3,000Hz ground
pulse detection. *+VIN remote input detection not supported at time of publication.
Output Control/ Alarm: Active high 3.0A continuous with 5.0A surge at system level voltage. Output state
programmable in software.
Serial Port: RS232 Com1 & Com2; 1200 – 115K baud; 7/8 bits; E/O/N parity;
scoreboard/ streaming data; Serial Gross Weight; DS ERM compatible
M12 harness or direct wire based on SL2 model
Internal USB port: USB 2.0 A port; FAT32 format; thumb drive size up to 32G
For settings save/ load, software update, and ISOBUS mask update
Scale Link Control: SPI bus on 8 pin M12 supports proprietary SPI remotes SLC2810 & SLC2400
CAN 1 Port: Primary CAN port; ISOBUS and Universal Terminal (UT) compatible
CAN 2 Port: Proprietary CAN port for connection to other devices or sensors
Setup & Calibration: Use UT or SLC2810 to access and change settings
Fuses: Main power requires external line fuse. Internal fuses are self-resetting.
Software Features: Software features are similar to EZIV scales. Refer to D4055 and D4020 for settings
changes, functions, print formats, and feature definitions.
