I.General Description: The Model 2310™ Digital Single Cylinder Scale is designed for weighing cylinders 11 ¾ inches in diameter and smaller, with a maximum net weight of 199.9 lb. and a maximum tare weight of 150 lb.The low profile design of the platform (1 ½ inches) allows for safe and easy loading and unloading of cylinders.A crossbar and chain are provided to secure cylinders in place. The printed circuit board contains a power supply section and a separate tare and span control. Theweigh meter electronics are housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for mounting on wall.

Please refer to these instructions for daily use of this scale.These instructions simulate the procedure for every day usage. To load a new, full cylinder, please follow these steps: 1. Ifyou know what theTare Weightof your cylinder (the weight of an empty cylinder) you may turn your black tare knob (located on the front of the indicator door) counterclockwise, until the tare weight is shown on the LCD indicator as a negative number.(Ex: Your cylinder is stamped with a tare weight of 100 lbs.You turn your tare knob counterclockwise until it reads “–100”. Thenyou load the cylinder on to the disc, being sure that it is completely on the disc and not touching the base.) Do not load the cylinder on before you have reached the tare weight.Apply the safety chains to the cylinder making sure that they are not too tight as to interfere with the weight of the cylinder. OR 2. Ifyou do not know the tare weight of the cylinder, or if you DO know theNet Weight, (the weight of the contents of the cylinder) you may use this alternate procedure.Load the full cylinder on to the scale base being sure that the cylinder does not sit on the base.When cylinder is centered and safety chains are attached, turn the tare knob, located on the door of the indicator, counterclockwise, until the known weight of the contents is displayed on the LCD. (Ex: You have a cylinder that holds 150 lbs. of contents.Load the cylinder on the scale, apply safety chains, and turn the black tare knob located on the front of the indicator door until the weight of the contents, 150 lb., is displayed on the LCD display.You are ready to start using the contents.) When cylinder is empty, remove chains, remove old cylinder, and load new one using the instructions above. V. CalibrationProcedure: The Model 2310™ Single Cylinder Scale isprecalibrated at the factory to within specified accuracyand is calibrated to standards traceable to the Bureau of Weights and Measures. No further calibration should be necessary.If the electronics or load cells in the base are being replaced, the following procedure should be used. 1. Plugthe AC Cord into a wellgrounded receptacle. There is no power on / off switch, so power is applied as soon as it is plugged in. 2. Allowapproximately 15 minutes warmup time before calibration. 3. Whileindicator is warming up, proceed to check under cylinder support disc to make sure there is no debris. 4. WITHNO WEIGHT APPLIED TO THE SCALE, turn the black tare knob on the outside of the door of the indicator in the clockwise direction to make sure that there isat least+10 lb. of weight in the tare knob.If not, adjust R6 to see a positive reading.Once that is established, turn the black tare knob on the door of the indicator counterclockwise until it stops (DO NOT OVER TURN KNOB OR YOU WILL DAMAGE THE TARE POT!)Once it reaches the most negative reading, make sure you have at least –150 lb. on the display.If the tare span is large, you may get to a –1 reading and this is a weight underload condition.Turn R6 until you see a number a number that is not “below” –199.9 lb. 5. Adjusttare knob on front of weigh meter until scale reads zero with no weight on platform. Adjust R22 to set the 4mA reading to 0lbs.
4 5. Placea known weight on the disc, as close to center as possible.Weight should be equal to ½ of capacity, or greater. 6. AdjustR15 until display reads weight of test weight on scale disc. 7. Tocomplete calibration of 420mA output, adjust R19 for proper 20 mA adjustment reading. Factorysetting is for 20 mA at 150.0 lb (68 kg.) unless specified otherwise. 8. Calibrationis complete if specified accuracy is obtained. VI. Troubleshooting: 1.If display reads: “1”: A.Gross underload.Numbers should reappear and can beTurn knob clockwise. adjusted to tare weight or zero as required. B.Check load cell connections at indicator, and connect wires as per diagram on Page 5. 2. Ifdisplay reads: “1”: A.Gross overload.If starting point was zero, the cylinder weight is more than 199.9 lb., or kg. B.If starting point was –150.0 lb. (68kg.) then the cylinder weight is more than 349.9 lb. (158 kg.).Remove weight and recheck tare setting. C.Check load cell connections according to page 2. 3. Ifno display (not lit): A.Check power to weigh meter. B.Check green light on power supply board.It should be lit.If not lit, it is shorted out. 4. OtherProblems: A.Consult the Factory!
Notice:Do not return any equipment without first contacting the factory.A return authorization number will be issued and it must be marked on all materials returned to the factory, accompanying a letter that explains the problem specifically.A Serial Number will also be required.It is located inside the indicator box.
