I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model 8213-0025 is a general purpose scale that provides weight data for light capacity industrial
®
applications. The 8213-0025 is a 100 lb capacity, stand alone scale incorporating a DigiTOL load cel,
seven segment, vacuum-flourescent display and a bi-directional RS-232 port to provide weight data to a
host computer.

A. MAJOR COMPONENTS
1. DIGITOL LOAD CELL
The 8213-0026 uses a 60kg capacity DigiTOL load cell. The digital load cell utilizes a
moment-insensitive aluminum counterforce combines with analog and digital electronis to
provide filtered digital weight indormation to the Main PCB approximately four times a
second.

2. MAIN PCB
The Main PCB provides displau and interface capability, receives digital weight
information from the DigiTOL load cell, and preferoms all scale functions.

A female DB-9 host interface conector is located on the bottom of the base. The host
interface provides RS-232 data and handshake lines for interfacing to an external host
compuiter by means of a user supplied interface cable. A simple host satellite protocol
permits weight and status information to be read from the 8213.

3. WEIGHT DISPLAY
The weight display is a five digit, green-blue vacuum flourescent display with 0.5” (12mm)
high, seven segment characters. The weight display is mounted in the scale so that it can
be viewed from the front (long side) of the base.

4. BASE ASSEMBLY
The 12.13” (308 mm) deep, by 13.63” (346 mm) wide, by 3.25” (82.5 mm) high, die-cast
alumninum base is painted fog white in color. Four screw-attached, top-adjustable
levelihg feet are included. A power/zero switch is located on the front of the scale base
beside the display.

5. SUB-PLATTER SUPPORT (SPIDER)

An alumninum spider is provided with rubber tips for friction platter mount. It mounts
directly to the DigiTOL load cell with two socket head cap screws. A level bubble is
located on the sub-platter casting aid in leveling the scale.

6. STAINLESS STEEL PLATTER

The 12.5” (317 mm) by 14” (356 mm), type 304 stainless steel platter is removeable for
setup, calibration, cleaning, and for viewing the level indicator bubble on the spider.

II. SPECIFICATIONS
A. ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
The 8213 is designed to operate and meet performance specifications over a temperature
range of +50 to 104 degrees F (+10 to +40 degrees C) witha humidity range from 0 to
90% non-condensing.

The 8213 is designed to withstand, for shipping or storage, a temperature range of -4 to

140 degrees F (-20 to +60 degrees C) with a humidity range from 0 to 95% non-
condensing, without damage.

1
 2. HAZARDOUS AREAS
The 8213 MUST NOT be used in areas classified as HAZARDOUS by the National
Electric Code (NEC) because of combusitble or explosive atmospheres, or in areas that
contain extreme dust, moisture or corrosive materials.

3. WATER RESISTANCE
The 8213 is inteneded for use ina general purpose atmosphere. It is intended for indoor
applications where dirt, oil or water is not present. The 8213 is not designed for
immersion in liquids or for “hose-Down” applications.

4. AC POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Model 8213 operates on 120 VAC (+10%, -15%) single phase, AC power. The line
frequency must be between 49 and 62 Hz. Power consumption is 25W maximum. The
8213 required a true earth ground for reliable operation. The AC power, neutral and
ground lines for the 8213 must not be shared with equipment that generated line noise
(such as motors, relays, heaters, etc.). If adverse power conditions exist, a power line
conditioner may be required to ensure reliable operation.

5. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE SUSCEPTIBILITY

The 8213 will operate with no more than one incremebt of change in the displayed weight
reading when in the presence of a source of radio frequency interference of 27 Mhz, 169
Mhz or 460 Mhz, at a radiated power of 4 W, located 2 m from the scale.

B. WEIGHING PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

1. LEGAL-FOR-TRADE APPROVAL
The 8213 meets or exceeds NIST Handbook 44 weighing accuracy requirements for a
5000e Class III scale. The 100 x 0.02 lb 8213 has recevived NTEP Certificate of
Conformance number 88-173.

2 CAPACITY AND INCREMENT SIZE

The capacity of the 8213-0025 is 100.00 lb. Normal incremebt size is 0.02 lb. High
resolution increment size is 0.002 lb over the full range. The scale is not NTEP certified
for use in high resolution mode.

3. AUTOMATIC ZERO MAINTENANCE

+/- 1.4 lb

2. WARM-UP TIME
The scale will perform within the specified accuracies within 10 min. after application of power.

NOTE: A warm-up time of 30 minutes is required prior to calibration.

3. OVER-CAPACITY
The scale will transmit an overweight indication for weights greater than scale capacity. Weight
data for over-capacity loads will not be transmitted. The display will blank display minus (------)
signs for under-capacity.

4. ZERO INCREMENTS
The zero increment is +/_0.0025 wide. The display’s ‘zero’ LED is ON whenever the weight is
within the zero increment.

2
6. EXPANDED ZERO CAPTURE
When a weight of 5.0 lb or greater is placed on the platter and a “no motion” condition is achieved,
removing that weight from the scale platter, will increase the width of the zero capture zone will be
from +/-0.0025 lb to +/- 0.05 lb. When the Auto zero maintenance has brought the weight to
within +/- 0.0025 lb. The minimum weight object which can be weighed is 0.005 lb.

7. POWER UP ZERO
When AC power is applied to the scale, zero is automatically captured as above. (Para. 6 & 7)

8. ZONE OF UNCERTAINTY
The weight range over which either of two adjacent weight increments may be displayed is 0.3
increments maximum.

9. PLATTER SHIFT
The weight indication will be within specified tolerances under these conditions.

10. DATA NOT VALID

A Data Not Valid interface signal is transmitted when any of these conditions exist:
a. Over-capacity b. Platter in motion c. The scale is powered up and 0 is not captured, i.e.,
scale is not within +/- 2% of scale capacity. d. Under Zero

C. CALIBRATION
In order to calibrate the 8213 the following tools are required:

1 - 50 lb test weight
1 - Phillips Screw Driver

1. The Digital Load Cell used in the 8213 scale requires at least a 1/2 hours warm-up period
with power applied, prior to final calibration. If the scale is not at room temperature at the start of
warm-up, extend the warm-up time to at least one hour. This warm-up period will assure that the
Load Cell has fully stabilized prior to calibration.

2. When power is applied to the scale, the display will show “----” momentarily. Then, if all
diagnostic tests are passed, it will display “0.000”, and calibration is possible.

The LED display, located next to the programming switches, will show a “0” indicating all power up
diagnostic test have been passed. See Figure 3.

NOTE: If the weight display or LED does not respond as described prior, proceed to the trouble-
shooting section of this manual.

Program Switch

LED Display Calibrate Push-button

3. TOGGLE Switch 5 to the ON position using a pointed non-conductive object. Avoid using
an object that can easily be dropped in to the unit. THE DISPLAY WILL SHOW AN “E”.

4. PLACE the Empty Platter upside down on the spider. DEPRESS the Calibrate Push
Button (Figure 3) UNTIL the “E” begins flashing.

THE “E” WILL FLASH UNTIL THE SCALE DETERMINES THE ZERO SETTING.
THE DISPLAY WILL THEN SHOW AN “F”.

5. PLACE the Fifty Pound Test Weight in the platter.

6
 6. DEPRESS the Calibrate Push-button UNTIL the “F” begins to flash.

WHEN CALIBRATION IS COMPLETE THE DISPLAY WILL SHOW A “C” . REMOVE THE
TEST WEIGHT. TOGGLE SWITCH 5 TO THE OFF POSITION. REPLACE THE ACCESS
PLATE, REPLACE THE PLATTER.

NOTE: Calibration will not be completed if there is continuous motion of these scale platters.
This is indicated by interrupted or non-periodic display blanking, and may indicate mechanical
interference or an internal scale problem.

ERROR CODE “6” - A display error code “6” indicates an insufficient calibration weight. The
operator should make sure the test weight value is 50 pounds, press Zero and retry calibration.

ERROR CODE “8” - A displayed error code “8” indicates that the scale load cell is out of range,
and is generally a fatal error. REPLACE the Load Cell.

D. SHIFT TEST
Below is a sketch of the top view of the 8213 scale. The shift test positions are indicated by the Y’s.
There are five positions numbered Y1-Y5. These positions are: center of platter, and half way out from
the center of the platter edges. The test to be performed is to apply half of full capacity load at these
positions and verify that the display reading is within .05% or one increment whichever is greater of the
applied load.

IV. SCALE INTERFACE SPECIFICATION
A. PURPOSE
The scale acts as a peripheral device to a host computer. The host computer requests weight data when
the scale is in a stable state or the scale status when the scale is in an unstable or invalid state. The host
computer can also request a scale zero operation in which case the scale will respond with the scale
status so that the host computer can determine whether the scale is in zeroing range and/or if the scale is
at zero. A scale confidence test can be initiated by the host computer to cause the scale to perform
memory tests on itself and put the results in status byte for later interrogation by the host computer.

B. DATA TRANSMISSION FORMAT

Data is transmitted and received by the scale via an RS-232 voltage level interface in the following format:
7 bit ASCII, even or no parity, two stop bits. Data transmission rate is either 1200, 24, 4800 or 9600
baud, switch selectable, (see section IV F SW1-1, SW1-2) asynchronous. Weight data is transmitted in
displayed increments, if selected, or in expanded increments of 0.0005 lb when selected by the interface
command.

When data is to be sent, request to send (RTS) is turned on and the scale will wait for 100 millisecond for
clear to send (CTS) by the host. CTS is turned ON then the next byte of data will be sent. If CTS is not
turned ON within the 100 millisecond then the most recent transmission will be aborted.

Between bytes of data sent by the scale there will be a 250 microsecond delay to allow the host to turn
CTS OFF. When all characters in a transmission have been sent RTS will be turned OFF.

C. COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL
The host computer sends requests to the scale in the form of single ASCII characters to perform various
tasks. The scale sends responses back to the host computer as a string of ASCII numeric digits or as an
ASCII “?” followed by a status byte. The following is a list of commands that can be sent by the host
computer and the scale responses.

HOST
COMPUTER SCALE DESCRIPTION
W Send normal resolution data command.
<STX>XX.XXX<CR> Normal resolution weight data, displayed data.
or <STX>XXX.XX<CR> Weight increment is same as displayed data.
or <STX>XXXX.X<CR> Sent if the scale is in a stable valid state.
Where X is an ASCII numeric digit
<STX>?<status byte><CR> Scale status data. Sent if the scale is in no motion, under 0 or over capacity.
H Send high resolution weight data.
<STXXX.XXXX><CR> High resolution weight data.
Weight increment is 0.0005 lb.
Sent if the scale is in a stable valid state.
Where X is an ASCII numerical digit.
<STX>?<status byte><CR> Scale status data. Sent if the scale is in no motion, under 0 or over capacity
Z Zero scale command. On the next A/D reading, the scale will attempt zeroing
if it is within the zero capture range (>2.0 lbs).
<STX>?<status byte><CR> Scale status data.

8
 A Initiate a confidence test command. The scale performs test on RAM, ROM
and NVRAM and places the results into a confidence test status byte for
future interrogation by the host computer.
<STX><CR> A carriage return and the line feed are sent to the host by the scale to indicate
that the command was received.
B Send confidence test status command. The scale is requested to send the
results of a previously performed confidence test. These results are
contained in a status byte in the scale.
NSTX><status byte><CR> Confidence Test Status byte.
E Enter echo mode command.
The scale is requested to enter a mode where incoming characters (except
“F”) are not treated as commands. These characters are echoed back to the
host computer.
<STX>“E”<CR> The scale echoes back the “E” to indicate that the command was received.
F Exit echo mode command.
The scale is requested to exit the echo mode and treat all subsequent
incoming characters as commands.
<STX>“F”<CR> The scale echoes back the “F” to indicate that the command was received.

NOTE: An ASCII “?” is sent by the scale to indicate that the following byte is a non-ASCII status byte.

<> are used to indicate that the characters within are a description of the transmitted data. < and> are not
part of the transmitted data string.

<STX> denotes the ASCII start of text character, <CR> denotes the ASCII carriage return.

If a confidence test results in an error, the scale will not respond to the W, H or Z command until the error
condition is cleared. A confidence test error will also cause the scale weighing operation to halt until the
error condition is cleared.

D. SCALE STATUS BYTE FORMAT

The scale status bits are defined as follows:

B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0
Parity Always Always Center Outside Under Out of Motion
Bit =1 =1 of Zero Zero Zero Range =1
(Even) =1 Capture =1 =1
Range = 1

(Even) Compl. Test Test Test

NOTE: For confidence test status bits B0 thru B4, a “1” indicates test failed and “0” indicates test passed.

Bit B6 is set after a confidence test is performed and cleared after the host computer reads the confidence
test status bytes.
