2.2 UNPACKING
Carefully remove the scale platform, the indicator and the platter from the shipping
carton. Be sure to retain the shipping carton and all packing material in case
reshipment is required. Note that the indicator and platform are connected by a 5'
cable; be careful not to pull too hard on this cable.
2.3 LOCATING THE SCALE
The Model 8000 requires 115VAC, 50/60 Hz power (220VAC optional) for charging. Be
sure that the AC power is not too noisy - this can occur if large inductive loads, like
solenoids or motors are on the same power line. The 8000 has a filtered power supply
to reduce the effects of normal line noise, but it cannot limit severe noise.
Choose a location that is sturdy and free from vibration and air currents. Vibration from
heavy equipment and air currents from fans, heating ducts, etc. can cause the scale
display to fluctuate. Using the Model 8000's Digital Averaging feature to minimize these
effects is outlined in Section 3 of this manual.
2.4 SET UP
Place the scale platform in its desired location. Level the platform by adjusting the four
corner feet until the bubble in the bubble level, located beneath the top platter of the
platform, is within the center circle. After a level condition is achieved, test for a stable
condition by trying to rock the platform backward and forward and side to side. Adjust
the feet for final levelness and stability.
Locate the desired position for the scale indicator. If the indicator is to be permanently
mounted to a wall, shelf or counter, remove the mounting bracket from the indicator.
Use the two holes provided in the bracket to affix it to the desired location. Reassemble
the 8000 indicator to the bracket. Loosely thread the two knobs back onto the studs.
Adjust the indicator to its desired viewing angle and tighten down the knobs.
2.5 OVERLOAD STOPS
There are several overload stops in the base of the scale that are factory set. Do Not
adjust these stops as adjustments may void any warranty claims. Consult the service
department if adjustment is needed.
3. PROGRAMMING THE 8000
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The 8000 can be configured for each application through the "user set-up menu" in the
8000. The "user set-up menu" allows you to program things like how often the display is
refreshed , how the data output works, scale capacity,resolution, and more. Each 8000
is programmed at the factory to the most common settings.
Read the description of each of the parameters and set each one to best fit your
application. If you are unsure of the parameter setting you need, a trial and error
process will assist you. If a parameter setting is not suitable, you can try a different
setting very easily. If you run into problems, you can contact the Doran Scales service
department for advice on the set-up of your 8000.
