12 EL232 XCPD Installation Manual
3.0 Indicator Setup
This section is provided to help the installer set up indicators to the EL232 XPCD. You must determine what
indicator will supply the data to the EL232 XPCD. Once this is determined, there are certain setup parameters
which you need to know depending on which indicator is chosen.
The EL232 XPCD supports the following scale formats and are listed in Table 3-1:
• UMC Series
• General Freedom I and II
• Electroscale 560
• A & D Instruments 4322, 4323, and 4316
• Weightronix WI-110 and WI-120
• Toledo indicators with “high speed data format”
• Flex-weigh DWM-4
• Analogic AN5315, AN5316, AN5322
• Masstron M-2500 and M-5000
• Fairbanks 90-164 series
• Streeter Richardson 9000
• Cardinal 738
• Instruments with programmable ASCII output
• Generic smart receiver mode
3.1 Serial Data Inputs
The EL232 XPCD can accept serial ASCII data sent in RS232C, 20 mA active, or 20 mA passive current loop
formats. These formats determine the electrical way that data is transmitted. The EL232 XPCD can read the data
transmission strings sent by 12 of the more popular scale indicator families as shown in Table 3-1. It cannot read
data from indicators not included in this list unless the formatting exactly matches one on the list (or if you have
a custom program).
Note: Set up the EL232 XPCD on the bench with the indicator you intend to use before taking it to the installation site.
