Values for weight, depth, and speed are shown both as numbers and horizontal bar graphs. The bar
graphs also show up to four alarm setpoints for low-low, low, high, and high-high alarms. More
information about alarms is in Chapter 3, Normal Operation.
The instrument receives signals from sensors that measure weight, depth, and speed of a cable.
The weight sensor must have a 4-20mA output. Depth is measured by a phase-sensitive (quadra-
ture) position sensor. Speed is calculated by the instrument from the depth signal.
The sections that follow describe the instrument’s features and functions.

Front Panel Manual 90-03
1-8 Front Panel

The front panel (Figure 1-2) has five parts:
• A power-on light in the upper left corner
The power-on light is green when the instrument is powered on and working nor-
mally. It also lights up to indicate CPU self-test.
• An alarm light just to the right of the power-on light
The alarm light is green when there are no alarm conditions, amber when there is
at least one low or high alarm condition, and red when there is at least one low-low
or high-high alarm condition. It also lights up to indicate CPU self-test.
The alarm light can display three levels of alarm:
Green No alarm conditions
Amber High or Low alarm condition
Red High-High or Low-Low alarm condition
• A Liquid-Crystal Display (LCD) in the center of the unit
The LCD shows screens of constantly updated information about line weight,
depth, and speed in the form of digital readouts and/or bar graphs. It also serves as
the user interface when calibrating or configuring the system.
• A five-position keypad just below the LCD
Use this keypad to silence alarms, and enter predetermined depth lengths, alarm
setpoints, and calibration information.
• A keypad label bar just above the five-position keypad
Just above each key on the keypad is a label bar displayed on the LCD that indi-
cates the purpose of each key. This label bar will change to match the needs of the
user. For example, the Operator’s Screen uses a different label bar from the Cal
Check Screen.

Back Panel Manual 90-03
1-9 Back Panel
Figure 1-3. Back Panel
Figure 1-3 shows the back panel of the unit. Along the top and bottom edges of the back
panel are rows of terminal blocks. These terminal blocks are for connecting power and
sensor wires to the instrument, and for sending signals or power out to other instruments.
Each terminal block has a TB-XX label, where XX is the terminal-block number. A short,
printed phrase indicates the purpose of each terminal. For example, the chassis near termi-
nal block number one, in the far upper left corner, has the label TB1-12/24 VDC and ON/
OFF + -. The top half of the label, 12/24 VDC, means that TB1 is for connecting 12 or 24
VDC power. The bottom half of the label, ON/OFF
+ -, means that the corresponding terminals are for connecting an external on/off switch
and for connecting positive input voltage and a common.
At the right edge of the chassis is a row of four receptacles that can accommodate option
relays, labeled RLY1 to RLY4 (Figure 1-3). Various relay contact ratings and configura-
tions are available.
CAUTION
When a Series 2000 instrument is used in Class I, Division 2, Group C & D
hazardous locations, only solid-state relay options 0, 6, 7, and 8 may be used.
The purpose of the instrument’s relay options is to initiate external warning devices such
as horns, sirens and/or lights, or commence other external relays for remote calibration
and individual customer applications. Refer to Appendix B for more information.

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 CHAPTER 1
Manual 90-03 Back Panel
In the middle of the panel is a row of four receptacles used for installing option modules.
Option Modules send scaled analog signals to external instrumentation, such as a strip-
chart recorder or a data logger; these option module receptacles are also used for interfac-
ing auxiliary communication option modules that use RS-232 or RS-485 connections.
There are two green screws for chassis grounding: one is at the top middle edge of the
back panel, and the other is at the bottom-middle edge.
In the lower-left corner of the back panel are three holes allowing access for adjusting the
screen contrast, setting the address of the unit on a network, and reset. Once the unit is
installed, the back panel will rarely need attending.

2-2-2 Mounting
CAUTION
Installation of Series 2000 Instruments in a Class I, Division 2, Groups C
and D Hazardous location requires that the instrument be mounted in an
enclosure which requires a tool for entry into the enclosure.
Mount the unit as follows:

1. Place the unit through the opening in the instrument panel (Figure 2-1).
2. Clip one mounting bracket to the inner and outer vent holes on each of
the four sides of the unit.
3. Tighten the screws just enough to hold the bracket in place.
4. After attaching the last bracket, begin tightening the screws on oppo-
site pairs of brackets a little at a time until the bezel on the front panel
just touches the instrument panel.
NOTE
Do not over tighten the screws; the brackets, chassis, and bezel might be
damaged.
Additional enclosures for the instrument are available. Contact M/D TOTCO for
style and availability.
2-3 Wire Connection

All wire connections to the instrument are made using the 13 or more terminal blocks on
the back panel (Figure 2-2). These terminal blocks are marked TB1 through TB13. There
can be an additional four terminal blocks installed on the unit, each a part of an option
module. Connect the wires by stripping off 0.25" (6 mm) of insulation, inserting the wire
into the proper terminal, and tightening the screw firmly. Barrel-type crimp ferrules should
be used on stranded wires. If significant electrical noise is present, twisted shielded pairs
are required.
Power, input and output wiring shall be in accordance with Class I Division 2 wiring
methods, Article 501-4 (b) of the National Electric Code, NFPA 70 for installations in the
United States, or as specified in Section 18-1J2 of the Canadian Electrical Code for instal-
lations within Canada, and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.

2-3-11 Terminal Blocks for Analog Output and Aux Comm Option Modules 1 to 4
Option modules 1, 2, and 3, if they are provided, supply analog output signals for
weight, depth, and speed, respectively. The purpose of these option modules is to
supply a scaled voltage or current signal, which represents weight, depth, or speed,
to external monitoring instruments, such as a strip chart recorder or a computer-
ized data logger. Each option module has a terminal block.
For more information, see Chapter 4, Calibration and Configuration, Analog Out-
put Calibration or Appendix E.

4-8 Two-Point Calibration Screen

Perform two-point calibrations by entering weight values appropriate for each weight sen-
sor used. Low Cal Point represents the lowest value of load on the line (min load). High
Cal Point represents the highest weight value (max load). These two points need not be
zero or full scale, as any two points will work. But, for good accuracy, it is recommended
that the two points be separated by at least 50% of full scale. For more information, see
Appendix C. There are three methods of entering two-point calibration:
• Physical load calibration for weight (Section 4-8-1)
• Shunt calibration (remote calibration) (Section 4-8-2)
• Voltage substitution calibration (Section 4-8-3)
Select the method to be used, and go to the appropriate section.

4-10 Depth Calibration Using Data Calibration

Normally mounted on a sheave or drum, depth/speed sensors count up and down pulses
relative to line depth (and in some cases, speed). Each time a sensor target passes the sen-
sor, it registers one count, either up or down. The actual amount of line depth represented
by one pulse out from the sensor will vary with the wire line diameter, the sheave/drum
diameter, and the number of targets installed on the sheave/drum
If the sheave root diameter, line diameter, and number of targets are known, the amount of
line paid out per unit turn of the sheave, or depth slope, can be calculated as follows:
4-10-1 Calculating Depth Slope
To calculate the depth slope, you must measure the root diameter of the sheave (at
the bottom of the groove) and the diameter of the wire line being used. Use these
values to calculate the circumference of the center line of the wire line in the units
of measure in which you intend to display depth. Then, divide the circumference
by the number of targets on the depth sheave to get the amount of depth per pulse.
(Root Diameter + Cable Diameter) (3.14159)

Depth Slope =
Number of Targets

M/D TOTCO
CHAPTER 4 WL2000
Depth Calibration Using Two-Point Calibration Manual 90-03
Example:
You have a sheave with 8 targets and a root diameter of 36 inches, and a cable with
a diameter of 1 inch. If you want to display depth in feet, you need to convert these
diameters to feet, so divide each of them by 12, giving you a root diameter of 3 ft.,
and a cable diameter of 0.0833 ft. Plug these values into the equation above:
(3 + 0.0833) (3.14159)
Depth Slope = = 1.2108

Enter this number as the slope in the data calibration screen. With regard to depth,
the offset value is overridden by the front panel operator keys during normal oper-
ation. Therefore, set the offset to zero.
4-11 Depth Calibration Using Two-Point Calibration

Although two-point calibration is typically used for calibrating weight, this method can
also be used for calibrating depth. Using this method allows the unit to calculate the slope
automatically. However, the accuracy of the calibration will be dependent on the acccu-
racy of the measurement of the paid out line.
Use the Two-Point Calibration Screen to enter physical depth as follows:

Analog-Output Calibration Screen Manual 90-03
4-12 Analog-Output Calibration Screen

The primary purpose of calibrating the analog output modules is to make remote equip-
ment, such as a meter, read the same as the values displayed by the unit.
Calibrate the analog output of the option modules for weight, depth, and speed using the
Analog Output Calibration Submenu (Figure 4-21).
WEIGHT
0 47.9
20000 87.2
Figure 4-21. Analog Output Calibration Screen
In this screen, the left column represents display values; the right column represents the
signal level at the output. The screen in Figure 4-21 shows that an output signal level of
47.9% is transmitted when the weight display value is 0 lbs. The output signal level of
87.2% is transmitted when the weight display value is 20,000 lbs. In general, the% output
value is adjusted until the external device matches the display value (in the left column of
Figure 4-21).
The input requirements of the external device you want to supply with an analog signal
will determine what type of analog output module you need and how to calibrate it. The
analog output signal value is represented on the unit’s display as a percentage. The rela-
tionship between this percent value and the value of the output signal (voltage or milliam-
pere) depends on the type of module installed. Also, the exact value of the output will
differ slightly from unit to unit. Prior to connecting the output signal to the external
device, you should set the output signal value (percent) to the nominal value. For example,
if a display of measured load from 0 to 20000 lbs must create an output signal of 0–10V,
then set the analog output calibration screen as shown above in Figure 4-21. Refer to the
following tables for nominal values for isolated and non-isolated analog output modules.

creating error logs.
• Troubleshooting Diagnostics—tools that allow you to view the raw sensor
data. By changing the value of the signal that is input to the unit, you can look
for the expected changes in the raw data. These diagnostics also control output
devices such as relays and analog outputs.

as "FAIL".
• Program—results of a checksum test on the display and sensor EPROM. Soft-
ware programs are stored here.
• EEPROM—results of a checksum test on the display and sensor EEPROM.
Calibration and configuration information are stored here.
• ZRAM/Bank—results of a checksum test run on the sensor ZRAM and on the
display processor EPROM. ZRAM (sensor) holds depth value and less critical
configuration data. Bank holds the display software data.
• -15 VDC—results of check to see if power supply is working within tolerance.
• +15 VDC—results of check to see if power supply is working within tolerance.
• +24 VDC—results of check to see if power supply is working within tolerance.
• +3.84 VDC—results of check to see if power supply is working within toler-

ance.
• ADC/Temperature—results of a check of the analog to digital converter and
the internal temperature of the enclosure. If the result is FAIL, check the tem-
perature raw count diagnostic. If the raw count of the temperature is between
24,000–42,000 it means that the ADC failed the test. If the temperature is out-
side 24,000–42,000 it most likely means that the FAIL message is for tempera-
ture problems.
• Encoder—results of a diagnostic test of the circuit that monitors the depth/
position sensor.

5-4 Software Update Procedure

The following are the steps involved in changing the firmware chips (software) in Series
2000 instruments. Refer to the assembly drawing (dwg # 220870) for visual information to
supplement these instructions. Note the following conventions used in the assembly draw-
ing: a circle with a number in it refers to an item number in the parts list, a square with a
number in it refers to a note for assemblers.
1. Record all calibration and installation parameters before attempting any
changes to the software.
2. Remove the six black screws from the rear cover (items 8 and 9).
3. Remove the rear cover (item 7) and the field wiring board (item 6). Note that
the field wiring board includes all of the terminal blocks, and is connected to

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 CHAPTER 5
Manual 90-03 Software Update Procedure
the main board only by the plug-in connector described in note 4, meaning
there is no need to remove the wires to access the main board and software.
4. Refer to view A of the 220870 drawing and locate the following EPROM’s:
U10, U27, and U30. Carefully pry the EPROM’s from their sockets.
WARNING
This unit can be damaged by static electricity. If a static controlled work

station is not available, always keep one hand touching one of the six metal
hex-shaped standoffs the entire time the rear cover is removed. This will
help avoid static build-up.
5. Gently place each new EPROM into its correct socket. Each EPROM is
labeled U10, U27, or U30. The chip MUST be oriented properly so that pin #1
is in the correct location. Note that one end has a dot over pin #1 and a notched
or chamfered corner. If there is any question, remember. . . IF THE CHIP IS
INSTALLED BACKWARDS, IT WILL BE DESTROYED. Once properly
aligned, press firmly to seat the chip in place.
6. Replace the field wiring board, rear cover and wiring. Be sure that the connec-
tor is properly aligned and press it into place. Replace the six black screws.
7. Power the unit up and allow it to go through selftest.
Initialize the software as follows:
1. Press the F1 key. Wait one second. (The alarm screen is displayed.)
2. Press the F2 key. Wait one second. (The display does not change.)
3. Press the F3 key. Wait one second. (The display does not change.)
4. Press the F4 key. Wait one second. (An initialization screen is displayed.)
5. Press the NEXT key. (The cursor moves to the number field.)
6. Press MODIFY. (The unit enters the data entry mode.)
7. Press DIGIT>. (The cursor moves one space to the right.)
8. Enter the product initialization code using the DIGIT>, INC, or DEC buttons
as required. When the correct number is displayed, then press CONFIG. (Con-
sult the factory for the initialization code.) Standard Depth-Weight-Line Speed
systems have an initialization code of 4293.
9. WAIT 10 SECONDS.
10. Turn the power off for 5 seconds.
11. Turn the power back on. The unit should now be ready for operation. Verify
that all calibration constants and configuration parameters are correct.

APPENDIX B
ALARMS AND RELAYS
B-1 Overview
The purpose of this Appendix is to describe the alarm and relay characteristics for the
M/D TOTCO Series 2000 instrument family. Items discussed include contact types, soft-
ware control of relays, alarm operation, and functions accessible from the front panel of
the instrument.
Series 2000 instruments are equipped with 4 relay sockets. Optional relays can be installed
in these sockets for alarm or calibration purposes. The sockets can accept various types of
relays, as described below. Programming of the relays is achieved using the keys below
the display.
B-2 Relay Contact Types

When using Series 2000 instruments, various combinations of contact types and ratings
are available. These include "pilot" relays with 10 VA contact ratings, multi-purpose
relays with 125 VA contact ratings, and special high power relays with 1250 VA contact
ratings. Solid state relays with 2 amp contact ratings are also available. The following sub-
sections describe the different styles of contacts.
B-2-1 Normally Open Contacts vs. Normally Closed Contacts
There are three basic contact styles:

• Form-A contacts are normally open (N.O.); energizing the coil closes the
contacts.
Form-A
de-energized energized
• Form-B contacts are normally closed (N.C.); energizing the coil opens
the contacts.
Form-B

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX B WL2000
Horn vs. Relay Manual 90-03
• Form-C contacts act like a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch.
Internal to this type of contact is both a normally open and a normally
closed contact, and a common. The Series 2000 does not have a Form-C
contact; instead, a relay can be installed that has both a Form-A and a
Form-B contact (Form-1A/1B). This is more flexible because you can
wire it to behave like a Form-C, or use it as two separate contacts.
Form-C
normally closed (N.C.)

common
normally open (N.O.)
Form-1A/1B (wired as a Form-C)
Form A Form A
Form B Form B
B-2-2 Mechanical Contacts vs. Solid State Contacts
Series 2000 instruments can use either solid state or mechanical contacts, except in
hazardous (Div 2) applications where only solid state relays are allowed.
NOTE
When choosing a solid state relay, you must know what kind of power the
contact will be switching. Solid state relays for AC power are NOT
interchangeable with solid state relays for DC power.
B-3 Horn vs. Relay

For Series 2000 instruments, relays are lumped into three general types:
• Horn Relays
• General-Purpose Relays
• Cal Relays
The following subsections describe the ways in which the software controls the relays.
Please note, however, that this information pertains only to software control, not the relays
themselves.
Page B-2 August 31, 1999

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 APPENDIX B
Manual 90-03 Horn vs. Relay
B-3-1 Fail-safe vs. De-energized
Fail-safe control of a relay means that the coil is held energized during normal
operation; the coil is released (de-energized) during alarm conditions. This means
that if power to the instrument fails, the relay will go to the alarm condition.
NOTE
Fail-safe describes the way the coil of the relay is controlled; it has nothing
to do with the contacts of the relay being normally open or normally closed.
B-3-2 Horn Relay vs. General-Purpose Relay
Each kind of relay can be programmed to specifically control an external horn or

to be used as a general-purpose alarm relay.
HORN—relays meant specifically to control external horns. These relays are de-
energized during normal operation, and energize when in an alarm condition. They
are immediately de-energized when the ACK button is pressed. The operator is
then given the option to clear the general purpose relays.
RELAY—meant for general purpose alarm use, and are controlled fail-safe.
B-3-3 Latched vs. Unlatched
Each relay, horn or general-purpose, can be programmed to operate latched or

unlatched.
LATCHED—relays and horns that must be manually acknowledged via the front
panel of Series 2000 instruments. This means that if the alarm condition goes
away, the horns and relays stay in the alarm condition until they are manually
cleared.
UNLATCHED—relays or horns that are self-acknowledging. If the alarm condi-
tion goes away, then the relays clear and the horns (if any) silence automatically.
B-3-4 Cal Relays
These are special purpose relays meant for controlling calibration circuits in exter-
nal signal conditioners. Up to two cal relays can be programmed via the front
panel. In applications that use shunt calibration, only one cal relay is needed. This
relay is normally installed in relay socket 4 on the back of a Series 2000 instru-
ment. In applications using voltage substitution, both cal relays must be used.
NOTE
Cal relays take up space that could otherwise be used for alarm relays. If
a relay socket is defined as a cal relay, that socket cannot be used for any
other purpose until the unit is reprogrammed.
On strain gauge input versions of Series 2000 instruments, there is one cal relay
built into the system internally, in addition to the 4 external relays on the back of
the unit. This built in relay has two normally open contacts. When these contacts

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX B WL2000
Alarm Operation Manual 90-03
are closed, they can activate two shuntcal resistors located on the terminal blocks
on the rear of the unit.
B-4 Alarm Operation

Each measured or calculated channel has four alarm setpoints (2 high & 2 low). Each set-
point is individually programmed via the front panel. Each alarm source can be individu-
ally assigned to one or multiple relays. It is also possible to assign multiple alarm sources
to a single relay.
TRI-COLOR LED—located on the front of the display, second from the left. The different
colors of the LED represent differing levels of alarm.
• Green (normal operation)= no alarm
• Yellow (caution)= at least one alarm source is in low or high alarm
• Red (overload)= at least one alarm source is in high-high or low-low alarm
FLASHING DIGITS—when a particular parameter goes into alarm condition, the digits
displaying the value of the parameter on the display start flashing. They flash even if the
alarm is acknowledged, and only stop flashing when the alarm condition goes away.
AUDIBLE BEEP—sounds when at least one alarm source is in low or high alarm condi-
tion. The beep is silenced by pressing the ACK button, or when all of the alarm conditions
are gone.
CAUTION
The audible beep on Series 2000 instruments is not meant to be used as
a warning device in industrial environments because it is not loud enough
to serve that purpose. Its primary purpose is to provide audio feedback for
key presses.
AUX COMM ALARM STATUS CHARACTERS—the alarm status of each parameter is

also transmitted on the aux comm data package. Refer to the aux comm protocol for more
information.
RELAYS—react as programmed to indicate alarm conditions.
ACK & SILENCE—front panel button that ACKnowledges alarms. Pressing this button
during alarm conditions silences the audible beep and resets all relays programmed as
horns. The operator has two choices: continue with no further change or clear all general
purpose relays and continue.
B-5 Alarm and Relay Programming via the Front Panel

Alarm assignments and relay programming are accomplished through the front panel of
Series 2000 instruments.

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 APPENDIX B
Manual 90-03 Tips and Hints
B-5-1 Alarm Assignments
Each alarm source can be assigned to control any or all alarm destinations (in any
combination desired):
Alarm Sources (for each parameter)Alarm Destinations
• High-High(overload)Relay 1
• High(caution/approach)Relay 2
• LowRelay 3
• Low-LowRelay 4
A setpoint value for each of these alarm sources can be entered via the front panel.
B-5-2 Relay Types
Relay functions must be selected via the front panel of Series 2000 instruments,
with six relay types to choose from. This selection determines the way the soft-
ware controls the relay; it does NOT refer to the type of physical relay installed.
The choices are as follows:
UNLATCHED HORN—meant to drive external horns
LATCHED HORN—meant to drive external horns
UNLATCHED RELAY—fail-safe control of general purpose alarm relay
LATCHED RELAY—fail-safe control of general purpose alarm relay
CAL 1—meant to control external calibration circuits
CAL 2—meant to control external calibration circuits
B-6 Tips and Hints

1. Use assignments that come as close to matching the default assignments as
possible. For example, shuntcal relays are installed in relay socket 4, horns are
defaulted to relay 1. Keep these assignments if possible.
2. General purpose relays are run fail-safe. This means that the actual relay con-
tacts installed should have the opposite logic of what is desired in the system.
For example, when a Form-A contact is controlled by the software as fail-safe,
it will be closed in normal operations, and open in alarm conditions. Likewise,
if a Form-B contact is controlled by the software as fail-safe, it will be open
during normal operations, and closed in alarm conditions.
3. The Gx2-1amp5-AB-LC relay (P/N 927003-007) has both Form-A and Form-
B contacts (a Form-1A/1B). This offers the most flexibility in the system.

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX C
C-1 Overview
There are four recommended techniques for calibrating strain gauge sensors:
• Physical Calibration—calibrates the sensor with an accurately known load
• Shunt Calibration (Shuntcal)—shunts one leg of the strain gauge bridge with a pre-
cision resistor
• Voltage Substitution—substitutes the entire strain gauge bridge with a precision
resistor divider in order to produce a specific mV/V value
• Bridge Substitution—same as voltage substitution, only the strain gauge bridge is
used as part of the resistor divider
Physical calibration is the most desirable technique because it takes into account all possi-
ble parts of an installation by directly loading the sensor. However, many applications will
not allow for a physical calibration, which means that the sensor will have to be calibrated
using simulated loads.
Each of the calibration techniques described in the following sections assumes the sensor
reacts in a linear fashion to increasing load. This means that the calibration techniques are
all of a 2-point variety, with the two points defining the linear response of the sensor.
As with any 2-point calibration, the farther apart the data points are, the more accurate the
calibration. As a general rule, try to take one data point from somewhere less than 25% of
total capacity, and a data point from somewhere above 75% capacity.
C-2 Physical Calibration

Calibration is done by applying an accurately known load to the system, and adjusting the
display to match the known load value. It is recommended that every installation get a
physical calibration at least once, preferably at commissioning.
C-2-1 Physical Calibration Procedure
1. Remove all load from the system so that the system is in a condition
where the measured value on the display should read zero. Although
the low cal point doesn’t need to be zero, zero is often the easiest data
point to obtain.
2. Adjust the display to read zero.
3. Apply a known physical load.
4. Adjust the display to read the actual value of the known load.
5. Remove the load and verify that the display reads zero again.
6. Activate each calibration circuit in the system (shuntcal, voltage substitu-
tion, bridge substitution) and record the values of each for future reference.

APPENDIX C WL2000
Shunt Calibration (Shuntcal) Manual 90-03
C-3 Shunt Calibration (Shuntcal)

Calibration is done by shunting one leg of the strain gauge bridge, (-) excitation to (-) sig-
nal, with a precision resistor, see Figure C-1. This creates a repeatable change in the out-
put signal of the load cell. The actual value depends on the value of the resistor and the
resistance of the strain gauge bridge.
+EX
-Sig +Sig
Shuntcal Resistor
Shuntcal Switch - EX
Figure C-1. Shunt Calibration Diagram
Shuntcal is a relative calibration, creating a known ∆ (change) in the output. For example,
assume that the shuntcal value for a given application is 80%. If the load displayed prior to
activating the shuntcal switch is 12%, then the display should read 92% after activating
the shuntcal circuit. This change depends on the value of the resistor and the resistance of
the bridge itself. Refer to the following table:

NOTE
The output of each individual load cell is recorded during its factory
calibration. These output values are supplied on the Calibration Certificate
that accompanies each load cell from the factory. Shuntcal resistor and
data are not automatically supplied with all sensors and must be specifically
ordered with the system.
C-3-1 Shuntcal Procedure
1. Remove all load so that the system is in the condition where the mea-
sured value is zero (or as close to zero as possible).
2. Adjust the display to read zero (or the known minimum load).
3. Activate shuntcal and adjust the display to read the value that was
recorded when the shuntcal circuit was activated during physical cali-
bration (plus any minimum load present from the step above). If no pre-
vious physical calibration was performed, use the shuntcal value from
the load cell calibration certificate.
NOTE
The value on the calibration certificate refers to the actual load applied to
the load cell, not necessarily the measured load shown on the display.
4. Deactivate shuntcal and verify that the display reads zero (or the known
minimum load again).

C-4 Voltage Substitution

This method of calibration replaces the load cell’s strain gauge bridge with a precision
resistor divider. The divider consists of three resistors in series with excitation applied to
the endpoints, and the signal read off the center resistor. See Figure C-2.

High Cal Point Divider Low Cal Point Divider
Figure C-2. Resistor Divider for Voltage Substitution Calibration

(resistor values shown as examples only)
Depending on the values of the divider’s resistors, any "mV/V" value can be created. The
center resistor has a much smaller value than the other two, and the low cal point center
resistor has a small value compared to the high cal point center resistor. If the low cal point
center resistor is actually a short between +Sig and -Sig, then a true 0.0 mV/V value is
applied. Two separate dividers give you the high and low calibration points.
Voltage substitution creates a specific mV/V value that is independent of the load on the
load cell. This makes it a popular calibration technique for those applications where the
load cell is a structural load-bearing member, when the load cell is monitoring mooring
lines for large permanent structures, or any time load cannot be removed for calibration.
C-4-1 Voltage Substitution Procedure
1. Obtain the records of the first physical calibration of the load cell, and
look up the values recorded for the voltage substitution check done at
that time. If this information is unavailable, obtain the calibration cer-

M/D TOTCO

tificate that came from the factory with the load cell, and see if it has
specially recorded cal factors for voltage substitution.
2. Activate the Low Cal Point and adjust the display to match the value
specified on the documents listed in step 1.
3. Deactivate the Low Cal Point.
4. Activate the High Cal Point and adjust the display to match the value
specified on the documents listed in step 1.
5. Deactivate the High Cal Point.
6. Activate the Low Cal Point again and verify that the displayed value is
the same as it was at the end of step 2.
CAUTION
The values on the calibration certificate pertain to load on the load cell, and
do not take into account any tare load (zero offset).
NOTE
Zero offset cal factors are not routinely recorded on the calibration
certificate, except when specifically requested on special "turn-key"
systems.
In some cases, the values substituted are zero and full scale. This can create prob-
lems if the instrumentation does not have sufficient headroom below zero and
above full scale. This headroom is required as a result of tare loads and load cell
output tolerances. In cases where this is a concern, mV/V values can be chosen
that will prevent this from being a problem. For example, the substituted values
can be approximately 15% and 90% of full scale. This creates sufficient headroom
even in cases where the instrumentation cannot display values below zero or above
full scale.
As a troubleshooting tool, this method verifies all circuits from the signal condi-
tioner input through the display. It does not verify the load cell or the load cell wir-
ing.

The advantages of this method are that it checks the two signal wires to the bridge and
checks that the input resistance of the bridge is reasonably close to what it should be.
The disadvantages of this method are that it is more difficult and costly to implement, cal-
ibration constants become more difficult to deal with, and it can actually make trouble-
shooting the system more complicated.
C-6 Application Notes

When a system is defined, the decision of what kind of electrical calibration to use should
be settled during system definition prior to sale. As a rule of thumb:
• If the load can be removed routinely, such as a simple crane application, then
choose shunt calibration.
• If the load cannot be removed easily, then choose voltage substitution.
At this time, one should also start planning for a physical calibration at the commissioning
of the system. This physical calibration must be performed at least once so that accurate
cal constants can be acquired. These values become the calibration constants for future
maintenance and routine calibrations.

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 APPENDIX C
Manual 90-03 Product Features
C-6-1 Routine Calibration
Provided you have calibration constants from a good physical calibration, frequent
checks of system calibration can be accomplished by closing a switch and making
sure the displayed value matches the recorded value.
This means that in most applications, daily calibration checks can be performed by
the operator. Maintenance personnel are not needed except to resolve situations
where the displayed value does NOT match the recorded value.

APPENDIX D
D-1 Overview
This chapter provides technical information to assist field personnel in troubleshooting
load cells. The first part of the chapter discusses background information about load cells.
The last part of the chapter deals with the techniques used to troubleshoot load cells.
CAUTION
The following information is not meant to be a substitute for proper training.
This information is provided as a guideline for technicians.
D-2 Excitation Voltage Requirements

Systems supplied by M/D TOTCO typically use a constant DC voltage supply. Typically,
excitation voltages range from 5VDC to 15VDC. If the supplied voltage is higher than the
strain gauge is designed to handle, it can damage the strain gauge. If the voltage is too low,
the signal it yields will be so low that it will get lost in electrical noise. The following are
examples of M/D TOTCO parts and the excitation voltages they supply:
Part Excitation Voltage
2060 signal conditioner 6.9 VDC
2078 signal conditioner 6.9 VDC
CLM 200 signal conditioners 5.0 VDC
S-2000 instruments have user selectable excitation voltages 1.25 VDC, 2.5 VDC,
5.0 VDC, and 10 VDC
The exact absolute value of the excitation voltage is typically not the primary concern.
The primary concern is the stability of the voltage level over time and changes in temper-
ature. Exceptions to this are instruments which "ratiometrically" track change in excitation
voltage over time or change in temperature. These instruments internally compensate for
the drift in excitation voltage. M/D TOTCO (Metrox) instruments typically are configured
for stable, absolute voltage supplies. The excitation voltage must also be as free of electri-
cal noise as possible.
Excitation voltage must be measured at the load cell if possible. There will be a voltage
drop in the interconnect cables between the signal conditioner and the load cell itself. In
applications using long cable runs (>50') or requiring higher accuracy, remote sense tech-
niques compensate for this voltage drop, which will be discussed later in this appendix.
D-3 Load Cell Signal

A strain gauge bridge supplies a very small electrical signal proportional to the force being
measured. The signal itself is a differential signal. This means that the value of the signal
August 31, 1999 Page D-1

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX D WL2000
Load Cell Signal Manual 90-03
is the difference between the voltage read off of opposite sides of the bridge, as shown in
Figure D-1.
differential signal measured

Strain
+Signal -Signal
Gauges
-Excitation
Voltage (-Ex)
Figure D-1. Signal Detection Points
The value of +signal and -signal have meaning only in reference to each other. The signal
is not measured with respect to ground.
The signal must be measured with equipment having high impedance inputs, otherwise
current will be pulled through the signal wires causing errors. Most modern digital volt
meters (DVM’s) have sufficiently high impedance inputs so as not to degrade the signal.
The value of the signal output from a strain gauge bridge is very low, typically 0–10 mV
or 0–20 mV. Therefore, any volt meter used to measure these signals must have the capa-
bility to measure these low signal levels. For troubleshooting in the field, the minimum
voltmeter requirement is typically a 4 ½ digit DVM.
The value of the signal is proportional to both the excitation voltage and the applied load.
Therefore, the unit of measure for these signals is expressed in millivolts of signal per volt
of excitation (mV/V). That is, for each volt of excitation supplied, you get some millivolt
of signal. For example, if a load cell has an output of 2.0mV/V, and it has an excitation
voltage of 10VDC applied to it, then the signal level should be 20mV (2mV for every volt
of excitation; 2 x 10=20).

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 APPENDIX D
Manual 90-03 Bridge Resistance
D-4 Bridge Resistance

Generally, Metrox sensors from M/D TOTCO are configured in a Wheatstone bridge as
shown in Figure D-1. Total bridge input resistance is measured from (+)Ex to (-)Ex. Bridge
output resistance is measured from (+) Signal to (-) Signal.
NOTE
When measuring bridge resistance, the bridge must be disconnected from
the instrumentation and there must be absolutely NO electrical connection
to the bridge except the ohmmeter.
Typical bridge output resistance values are 350 Ω or 700 Ω. Input resistance should be the
same as the output resistance, however, there are systems where the input resistance is
greater due to internal compensation, which is usually less than 100 Ω. Refer to the speci-
fication control drawing for the nominal bridge resistance of a particular load cell.
D-5 Insulation Resistance

The body of each load cell is electrically isolated from the bridge. To measure the insula-
tion resistance of the load cell, the bridge must be disconnected from its instrumentation,
and there must be NO power applied. Resistance can be measured from any or all bridge
leads to the body of the load cell. This resistance must be greater than 100 MΩ Typically,
values are greater than 5000 MΩ..
WARNING
DO NOT use a high-voltage Hypot tester! Test equipment must apply no

more than 50 VDC. If internal varisters are used for lightning protection, the
test equipment must apply no more than 20 VDC.
The average DVM applies less than 9 VDC, so it shouldn’t cause any damage. However,
many of these DVM’s are often unable to measure as high as 100 ΜΩ.
D-6 Interconnect Techniques

All full bridge load cells require a minimum of four interconnect wires:

Signal Conditioner,
+Sig Display,
- EX Recorder,
Etc.

Figure D-2. 4-Wire Configuration Diagram

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX D WL2000
Troubleshooting Techniques Manual 90-03
Interconnect cables need to be twisted, shielded pairs. The two excitation lines are one
twisted pair, and the signal lines are a second twisted pair. Shields are normally connected
to ground only at the instrumentation end and not at the sensor end.
If even a small amount of current flows through the excitation wires, it creates a voltage
drop. This drop means that the excitation voltage at the load cell is less than the excitation
voltage at the instrument, which causes errors in the measurements being taken. To over-
come this, you can run an additional twisted pair of wires from the load cell to the instru-
ment, so the instrument can remotely sense the voltage at the load cell. The instrument can
then compensate for the voltage drop in the excitation wires. Remote sense is recom-
mended for all applications with long cable runs, or for applications that require a high
degree of accuracy. Cable runs of less than 50 feet that don’t require high accuracy typi-
cally do not need remote sense.

current flow. Refer to Appendix C for more information on shuntcal.
D-7 Troubleshooting Techniques

The following are functional tests for strain gauge load cells. The tests described below
should be performed before requesting field support. Use the blank page at the end of this
appendix to record the results so they will be easily accessible when working with field support.
D-7-1 Insulation Resistance
1. Disconnect the load cell from the interconnect cable if attached by a

connector or terminal block.

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 APPENDIX D
Manual 90-03 Troubleshooting Techniques
2. Measure the resistance from any or all leads to the body of the load cell.
WARNING
DO NOT use a Hypot tester! Test equipment must apply no more than
50 VDC. If internal varisters are used for lightening protection, the test
equipment must apply no more than 20 VDC.
3. If the resistance is less than 100 MΩ, the load cell is faulty.
D-7-2 Cable Insulation Resistance
(Does Not Apply To Integral Cables)

1. Disconnect the interconnect cable from both the load cell and the
instrument.
2. Verify that the insulation between each wire is good by measuring the
resistance between each wire, making sure it meets spec.
3. Verify that the insulation between each wire and the shield is to spec.
D-7-3 Bridge Resistance
1. Disconnect the load cell from the interconnect cable.

2. Measure the bridge resistance and verify it is to spec.
3. Reconnect the interconnect cable to the load cell, and disconnect the
cable from the instrument.
4. Measure the bridge resistance through the cable. It should be within a
few ohms of the bridge resistance measured at the load cell.
NOTE
Measuring the bridge resistance through the interconnect cable only
verifies that the cable makes connection. There can still be wiring errors,
such as swapped polarities on the signal or excitation wires. Therefore, in
all new installations, a pin-to-pin verification must be performed.
D-7-4 Excitation Voltage
1. Disconnect the load cell from the interconnect cable.

2. Connect the instrument to the interconnect cable, and power the instrument.
3. Verify that the excitation voltage at the load cell end of the cable is to spec.
D-7-5 Signal Voltage
1. Connect load cell to instrument.

2. Verify that the voltage between (-) excitation and (-) signal is ½ of the
excitation voltage.

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX D WL2000
Troubleshooting Techniques Manual 90-03
3. Verify that the voltage between (-) excitation and (+) signal is ½ of the
excitation voltage.
4. Using a digital volt meter that can measure small voltages, verify that
the voltage between (+) signal and (-) signal is less than 2mV when
there is no load applied to the load cell.
5. Apply some load to the load cell and verify that the signal voltage
increases with the right polarity.
6. Activate the shunt calibration and/or the voltage substitution circuits
and verify their operation.

OPTION MODULES
E-1 Overview
Series 2000 instruments can accept up to four plug-in option modules, which are used for
interfacing with external equipment. Examples include serial communications, analog
output, etc.
Located on the back of Series 2000 instruments, under the break-away tabs labeled OPT1,
OPT 2, OPT 3, and OPT 4, are four 28-pin sockets for option modules.
Figure E-1. Series 2000 Back Cover
Electrically, all sockets are identical with the exception of pin 1, which is an “address” or
“select” line. As a result, some module types work the same in all four sockets, and some
have different functions depending on which position they are installed. The model code
reflects which module is installed in which socket at the factory. Option modules may also
be field installed.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD - When in hazardous locations, turn off power

before replacing or wiring modules.

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX E WL2000
Analog Output Module Manual 90-03
E-2 Analog Output Module

There are two different types of analog output modules:
NON-ISOLATED—provide a sourced 4–20mA signal as well as a +/- 10VDC
output signal. Signals are referenced to the + 24VDC power supplied by the Series
2000 instrument.
ISOLATED—provide a ground isolated 4–20mA signal. This signal appears to
external equipment like a 2-wire transmitter. A 24VDC power supply is available
via the terminal block for convenience, but it is NOT isolated.
Although any analog output module will work in any socket, each socket is assigned a par-
ticular parameter. For example, on an WL2000, socket #1 is assigned to weight, #2 is
depth, and #3 is speed (#4 not applicable). Likewise, on a CI2000, socket #1 is main fall
gross load, #2 is whip fall gross load, and #3 is boom angle (#4 not applicable). Any or all
applicable analog output modules can be installed at one time. You can freely mix isolated
and non-isolated analog modules.
E-3 Aux Comm Module

The purpose of the aux comm output is to provide the real-time value of the measured
parameters to external customer equipment, such as computers, data loggers, etc. Aux
comm also allows some operator commands to be transmitted from the external device
into the instrument. These commands include acknowledging alarms, activating calibra-
tion relays for cal verification, performing or reporting self-tests, and resetting certain val-
ues to zero. Aux comm cannot be used for calibration or configuration.
There are two different analog output modules used for aux comm:
• RS232
• RS485
Instrument software responds the same regardless of which module is installed; the system
acts like a half duplex party line (even with RS232). For a detailed description of the aux
comm protocol, refer to Appendix F.
Aux comm modules may be installed in any of the option module sockets, but typically
they are installed in the OPT 4 socket.
NOTE
Only one aux comm module can be installed per instrument at any one time.
E-4 Event Input Module

The purpose of the event input module is to allow you to connect external switches to
Series 2000 instruments. This module can be installed in any of the option module sock-
ets. Event input modules can accommodate two switches. Typically, this option is used for

external reset (value to zero) and push to print (transmits present value out through aux
comm).
NOTE
Only one event input module can be installed per instrument at any one time.
E-5 Installation
1. Locate the four rectangular tabs on the back of the instrument labeled OPT 1,
OPT 2, OPT 3, and OPT 4.

2. Remove the rear cover by loosening the six, black retaining screws securing
the cover to the unit.
3. Break out the appropriate tabs to expose the required option module sockets.
4. Verify that all of the pins on the bottom of the option module are straight. If
necessary, carefully bend them back straight. All pins must be straight for the
module to fit in the instrument.
5. Using the four long guide pins, carefully position the module over the socket.

APPENDIX F
F-1 Overview
The purpose of auxiliary communication output is to provide real-time values of measured
parameters to external equipment, such as computers, data loggers, etc. Some operator
commands can also be transmitted from an external device into a Series 2000 instrument.
Examples of these are ACKnowlege alarms, activate CAL1 or CAL 2 relays, perform or
report SELFTEST, and RESET certain values to zero.
There are two types of aux comm modules that can be installed in one of the option mod-
ule slots on the back of Series 2000 instruments:
• RS232
• RS485
Although an aux comm module can be installed in any of the option module slots, typi-
cally it is installed in slot 4.
NOTE
Only one aux comm module can be installed in a Series 2000 instrument at one time.
F-2 Protocol Selection

There are three different protocols to choose from for aux comm:
PROTOCOL #1—the original, simplified comm protocol which is limited to the three
basic commands (SS, CS, and CD). This protocol is still a good choice when connecting
only one Series 2000 instrument to a computer. This protocol also allows for support of
older, existing field installations.
PROTOCOL #2—features of protocol #1 plus an expanded instruction set and more effi-
cient protocol for party line applications.
Continuous Mode—forces the instrument to automatically power up in the continuous
scan mode. The instrument acts like it has received a CS command. This is typically used
when the instrument is connected to a serial printer. The transmission interval is
programmable via the front panel, from 0.25 sec to 60 sec (in 0.25 sec increments).
F-3 Command List

SS (single scan)—request for a single transmission of all present values.
CS (continuous scan)—same as SS, only the transmissions will continue at a programmed
interval until an "ESCape" character is received or the instrument is reset.
August 31, 1999 Page F-1

M/D TOTCO
APPENDIX F WL2000
Delimiter Selection Manual 90-03
CD (configuration dump)—request for a list of all configuration information. The answer

returned includes calibration constants, a channel list for the product (this list matches the
channels transmitted for SS and CS), alarm limits, and device numbers.
ACK (acknowledge)—acknowledges alarms the same as pressing the front panel ACK
button. This silences all horns (internal and external), but does NOT clear the general pur-
pose relays. There is no response transmitted back from the instrument.
C1 (CAL 1)—turns on the "CAL 1" relay on the back of the instrument the same as acti-
vating the relay from the front panel. The relay is cleared by transmitting an "ESCape"
character to the instrument. There is no response transmitted back from the instrument for
either the C1 or the "ESCape" signal.
C2 (CAL 2)—turns on the "CAL 2" relay on the back of the instrument the same as acti-
vating the relay from the front panel. The relay is cleared by transmitting an "ESCape"
character to the instrument. There is no response transmitted back from the instrument for
either the C2 or the "ESCape" signal.
RS (reset)—resets the present value to zero. In the case of an WL2000, it resets the depth
to zero. In the case of the CI2000, the main net load and whip net load are set to zero (new
"TARE" value). There is no response transmitted back from the instrument.
ST (perform self test)—causes the instrument to perform the power up self test sequence.
The instrument is forced to reset and automatically runs the power-on self tests. There is
no response transmitted back from the instrument.
NOTE
The ST command causes a disruption in operation of the unit.
RT (report self test)—requests a transmission of the self test results that were stored at the
last self test. This does not trigger the instrument to perform a self test.
F-4 Delimiter Selection

In the SS and CS commands, the values returned are separated by a programmable charac-
ter. The choices are:
• Comma
• Space
• Tab
F-5 PROTOCOL #1
The basics of protocol #1 involve:
—signing on to particular unit
—receiving a response of self-test results from the
unit
—sending one of three commands (SS, CS, or CD)
—receiving the response back from the instrument
until you log onto another unit.

Protocol #2 is the preferred protocol for “party line” applications. In protocol #2, the sign
on and the request for data are part of the same command, thereby not wasting transmis-
sion bandwidth on sending expanded self-test results over and over. Also note that a four
character system status/self-test status is added to the SS and CS response. If these results
show a self-test failure, then the more detailed self-test results can be requested. In addi-
tion, protocol #2 has a device address wild card. For commands that require NO response,
the device address can be replaced with “$$”, which will cause all connected units to take
the action the command specifies. Typical uses are activating cal relays (C1) or acknowl-
edging alarms (AK).
Once the communications wiring is properly connected, aux comm protocol #2 is initiated
as follows:
Sign on to a particular Series 2000 unit by sending the following command:

F-7 Aux Comm Response Times

In certain applications, response time of the instrument to aux comm commands can be an
important issue. The following guidelines must be considered when writing software to
communicate with Series 2000 instruments.
F-7-1 SS (single scan) Command
Command processing overhead is measured from the time the last character of the
command is received to the time the first character of the reply is transmitted. This
averages around 60ms, but occasionally varies upward to as much as 400ms if
other system events are waiting to be processed when the command is received.
Reply transmission time must be added to the command process time to arrive at
the overall time for receiving full response for the command. This time will
depend on baud rate and the number of channels in the response. Below is an
example of how this is calculated for 9600 baud, and may be used to determine
transmission time for other baud rates.
Example:
At 10 bits per character, character transmission time is about 1ms (10/9600).
At 10 characters per channel, channel transmission time is 10ms.
Therefore, total response time (command process + transmission time) for 10
channels is:
Typical = 60 + 100 = 160ms
Practical maximum = 400 + 100 = 500ms

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 APPENDIX F
Manual 90-03 Aux Comm Response Times
In addition, each transmission includes a header (device number) and a trailer

(status, [cr], [lf], etc.) which adds approximately 10 more characters.
F-7-2 C1 (CAL1) Command
Process time for this command ranges from 3ms to about 400ms. This command
does not require any response to the host. Also, the process time for this command
is applicable to all other commands that do not require any response (C2, AK, RS).
Because this type of command is transmitted infrequently, it is recommended to
wait >500ms after transmitting before transmitting any additional command.
F-7-3 CD (Configuration Dump) command:
Complete response time (process + transmission time) for this command is to be in

the range of 1.25–1.5 seconds for 7 channels.
F-7-4 Conclusions on Response Time
Based on the data above, the following timing criteria is recommended for host
communication software:
When polling devices with the SS command for their current values, send the next
poll when the complete response has been received. In the event that no response
is received for 600ms, depending on channel count and baud rate, a time-out
should abort the current poll and the next poll may be issued. Regardless, if a time-
out is used, collisions may occur if the instrument response overlaps the next poll
and the two devices are trying to transmit at the same time. This type of collision
will cause a UART error. Therefore, the host software should discard the response
if there are any UART errors, and either retry the same device until some maxi-
mum retry is reached, or move on the next device.
When issuing any command like C1, which does not require any response, the
next command should not go out until a no-response time-out occurs.
When requesting a configuration dump with the CD command, sufficient time
should be allowed to receive the complete response. As this time depends on the
total number of channels (16 max), and it is only required once on start up, it is
recommended that a 5 second time-out be used with this command.

NETWORKING
G-1 Overview
Networking is used to operate a group of up to 16 Series 2000 units together for the pur-
pose of having remote displays, multiple displays, etc. This communication port is stan-
dard on all Series 2000 instruments through the TB3 connections on the back of each unit.
There are two different types of stations in a network:
• Sensor input unit
• Remote display unit
G-2 Sensor Input Unit

Sensor input units come in two forms: those with displays, and those without displays.
G-2-1 Sensor Input Unit With Display
Displays on these units can only show data for the sensors that are connected to
the unit. The display, therefore, cannot act as a remote display for other sensors.
G-2-2 Sensor Input Unit Without Display (DAQ)
Often referred to as remote data acquisition units (or DAQ’s), these must have
remote displays connected to them in order to calibrate or configure the unit.
There can be a maximum of 16 sensor input units in a network, but the total num-
ber of instruments in a single network cannot exceed 16.
G-3 Remote Display

Remote displays cannot read signals directly from sensors. Remote displays must get their
information from the network. They can, however, drive relays and option modules. Every
remote display can be configured (via the front panel) to act as a display for any sensor
input unit in the network. Remote displays have access to all calibration and configuration
features just like a local display on a sensor input unit. There can be a maximum of 15
remote displays in a network.

APPENDIX G WL2000
Sensor Input Unit Setup Manual 90-03
G-4 Sensor Input Unit Setup

1. Using a small flat head screwdriver, set the rotary address switch on each sen-
sor input unit to a unique number. Refer to Figure G-1. Typically, you will
want to set them to sequential numbers starting with number one.
Rotary Address Switch
Figure G-1. Rotary Address Switch Location on Rear Panel of Instrument
2. Power up the unit, and verify that the unit is configured as a “sensor input unit”
in the Network Setup screen. See Section 4-13-4 for more information.
3. For units with displays, look in the Network Setup screen to see what switch
setting the unit has. Always use this number and ignore what is printed on the
switch itself.
4. For remote data acquisition units (sensor input units without displays), you
must read the numbers printed on the rotary switch body. The switch is printed
with hexadecimal numbers, so refer to the following table to determine what
hexadecimal number corresponds to what switch setting:
Table G-1. Characters Printed on the Switch Body vs. Switch Settings
character printed on switch 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

switch setting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
The setting of the rotary switch becomes the unit number when referenced by
any remote displays. For example, on LM2000 systems, this rotary switch sets
the WINCH#. On CI2000 systems, this rotary switch sets the CRANE#.
G-5 Remote Display Unit Setup

1. In the Network Setup screen, set all remote displays to a unique number,
i.e. "Remote Display #1" or "Remote Display #2"…"Remote Display #15".
2. Select a sensor unit number whose data is to be shown on the remote display
by pressing the button labeled SCREEN in the main operators screen.
Page G-2 August 31, 1999

M/D TOTCO
WL2000 APPENDIX G
Manual 90-03 Network Examples
3. Highlight "Select ______" (winch, crane, etc.) and press the select key.
4. Select the number of the sensor unit you chose in step 2 above.
NOTE
If the data is ever corrupted, the remote display will have to load all new
default values. The rotary switch setting of the remote display will be used
as the default unit number for that unit. Therefore, it is suggested that the
switch setting of the remote display match that of the sensor unit to be
displayed remotely.

The following examples are diagrams of various network examples. The switch settings
and network setup parameters are shown in each example.

G-7 Networking and Aux Comm

Standard networking is carried out through the RS-485 interface provided by TB3 on the
back of all Series 2000 instruments. The data is in a proprietary binary form, making it dif-
ficult to use outside the network. In addition to the standard networking communications,
it is possible to have auxiliary communications through an aux comm option module
installed on the back of the unit.
Aux comm modules use standard ASCII data that is easier to work with on any terminal or
PC, allowing the user to create programs that speak the “language” of aux comm. Both of
these network communications can be used simultaneously. For more information on aux
comm modules, see Appendix F AUXILIARY COMMUNICATIONS (AUX COMM).

Locating Model Information Manual 90-03
There are four different categories you can fall into:

1. You have the model code.
2. You don’t have the model code, but you know what type you have.
3. You have the model code, but it contains -E#### (where #### represents a
four digit project code).
4. You don’t have the model code, and you don’t know what type you have.
If you fall into categories 1 or 2, you should continue with the following sub-sections to
find the required part numbers.
If you fall into categories 3 or 4, you should contact the factory for more information
about your units and their replacement parts.
I-2-1 Model Code
Each WL2000 has a model code associated with it. Once this model code has been
located, you can use it to determine the part numbers of each field replaceable part.
The model code will look like the following example:
WL2–1A–1234–AABC where:
what’s in option socket 1

enclosure what’s in option socket 2
type what’s in option socket 3
what’s in option socket 4
WL2– – –
what’s in relay socket 4
Figure I-2. Example of a WL2000 Model Code
Once you have located the model code, refer to the catalog drawing as follows to
determine the necessary part numbers. The catalog drawing is the first of the
large Z-folded pages at the end of this appendix. The catalog drawing images on
the following pages are too small to read and are for mapping purposes only. Refer
to the full size drawing at the end of this appendix when necessary.
I-2-2 What Type of WL2000 is it?
If the unit is marked with a model code, the first character after WL2- tells you
what type of unit it is (special algorithms, etc.). If the unit isn’t marked, but you
