The HI 6500 series can be used with or without a display. The display is a bright 4.3”
high-contrast LCD capable of high-resolution graphics and discrete messaging. The
unit can be panel mounted, DIN mounted, and remote display mounted. The thin
enclosure and low power consumption allows for high density control cabinet design.
Typical Applications
The HI 6500 series serves a variety of industrial weighing applications found in batching,
blending, filling, dispensing, inventory management, level by weight and check by weight
verification.
Features and Capabilities
Hardy Process Toolbox
The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of productivity tools that support process weighing
functions. Each tool in the Hardy Process Toobox saves time, increases accuracy, improves
efficiency or reduces risk in process weighing applications. The HI 6500 includes the
following Toolbox functions.
C2
®
and eCal™ Calibration
Traditional calibration uses certified test weights. C2 ® (or eCAL ™ as it is called in China)
Electronic Calibration allows a scale to be calibrated without the need for test weights. A
C2 or eCAL weighing system consists of up to eight load cell sensors per channel, a two
junction boxes, interconnect cable, and an instrument with C2 capabilities (e.g., the HI
6500 series instrument). Each Hardy Process Solutions C2-certified load sensor outputs
digital information used for calculating the calibration. When the HI 6500 series instrument
reads the signals from the load sensors, it calibrates the scale based on the load sensor’s
output plus a user-supplied reference point value (from 0 to any known weight on the
scale).
INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN
®
In conjunction with an IT junction box, the HI 6500 features INTEGRATED
TECHNICIAN
® (IT), a system diagnostics program that makes it possible to diagnose
weighing system problems from the instrument’s front panel or over the available
networks. IT reads individual load sensor voltages and weights and isolates individual
system components for quick and easy troubleshooting
NOTE If you do not have a Hardy IT Junction Box connected to the HI 6500, the weight reading
is the total for all load cells on the system.
