Important information

Neither the design of the device nor any technical safety aspects may be modified without
the express permission of Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH. Any modification excludes
Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH from any and all liability for any damage resulting
therefrom.

It is strictly forbidden to carry out any repairs and soldering work on the motherboards or to
replace any components. Repairs may only be carried out by persons authorized thereto by
Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH.

The production number set at the factory must not be changed.

The transducer connection must always be assigned. It is essential for a transducer or a

bridge model to be connected up for operation.

When replacing the battery for the real-time clock, the device must be disconnected from the
power supply ( section 25).

Safety information 11

Safety information

 There are not normally any hazards associated with the product, provided the notes and
instructions for project planning, assembly, appropriate operation and maintenance are
observed.

 It is essential to comply with the safety and accident prevention regulations specific to
the particular application

 Installation and start-up must only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.

 Do not allow damp and dirt to get inside the device when connecting the cables.

 When connecting the cables, take action to prevent electrostatic discharge as this may
damage the electronics.

 The required power supply for the device is an extra-low voltage (12…30 V) with safe
disconnection from the mains.

 When connecting additional devices, comply with the safety requirements).

 Do not exceed maximum voltage levels when connecting external controls to the proc-
ess inputs and process outputs of the WE2107.

 The ground connections of the supply, of the process inputs and process outputs, of the
interface and of the load cell cable shield, must be interconnected in the device. If the
potentials of the devices to be connected are different, suitable steps must be taken to
isolate the signals (such as using an optocoupler).

 Shielded cables must be used for all connections apart from the supply voltage (see note
below). The shield must be connected extensively to ground on both sides.

 The use of unshielded cables for the voltage supply is only permissible for cables with a
maximum length of 30 m, laid inside buildings. If cables are longer or are installed out-
side buildings, shielded cables must be used (see EN61326-1).

 To compensate for potential differences, the metal housing of the WE2107M must be
connected to the scale structures as well as to the ground potential of the connected de-
vices by a low-resistance equalizing conductor. This is unnecessary if a potential differ-
ence of 35 V is not exceeded.

 In the device, the reference ground (GND) of all the signals and the supply voltage is
connected directly to the cable shield connection but not to the housing.

 Connection to a wide-ranging supply network is not permitted as this often causes inter-
fering voltage peaks to be coupled into the transducer. Instead, a local supply must be
provided for the WE2107 (even when grouped).

WE2107 HBM
12 Safety information

 The front foil is made from high-quality materials, providing a service life appropriate to
the external conditions. The keys must only be operated by hand; under no circum-
stances must pointed objects be used to press them.

Scale commissioning overview 17

4 Scale commissioning overview

The permissible supply voltage for the WE2107 is in the range +12 (18)...30 VDC and must
be adequately smoothed (rms value less residual ripple <1 V).

If the analog output (4...20 mA) is used, the minimum supply voltage is 18 VDC .

A 100...240 V power supply unit is available as an accessory (HBM order no.: 1-AC/DC15 V
/ 550 mA). This power supply unit can be used without using the analog output.

When properly connected with shielded cables, the WE2107 complies with the relevant Eu-
ropean standards and carries the CE mark.

Mechanical dimensions and mounting information are described in Section 26 (page 122).

Subsequent sub-sections provide an overview of the sequence of steps that needs to be ta-
ken to commission the scale, depending on the application:

 as a component of a non-automatic scale (NAWI, 1))  Section 4.1 (page 18)

 as a component of a non-automatic counting scale

(not legal-for-trade applications)  Section 4.2 (page 19)

Electrical connections 21

5 Electrical connections

5.1 Notes

Please observe the safety information at the start of this description.

The load cell and all the control and supply cables are connected by means of screw termi-
nals inside the housing. The terminals are fitted with wire protection and the use of end slee-
ves is recommended, particularly for the load cell cables.

Connection terminals are identified on the motherboard by a short text or numbers.

All the ground connections are interconnected on the motherboard!

5.2 Cable entry

Four glands are available at the back of the housing to provide sealed cable entry. Round
cables, between 5 and 7 mm in diameter can be used. The glands are used purely for seal-
ing and strain relief. So the cable shielding does not have to come into contact with the
gland (as it does for other HBM devices), but with the screw clamps in front of the connection
terminals.

This also applies to versions with a steel housing (WE2107M) and is important for device
EMC properties.

To minimize EMC problems, the individual wires from the end of the shielding to the terminal
should be as short as possible. So avoid making cross-connections, such as from the inter-
face cable to a switching input, and instead use separate cables in accordance with the ter-
minal arrangement. A common cable should be used for the supply and the switching inputs.

WE2107 HBM
22 Cable preparation

5.3 Cable preparation

Remove the outer sheath to about 20 mm. 20

Shorten the braided shield to 5 mm and
fold it back.

If necessary, remove the inner sheath. 5 5

Strip the wire ends to about 5 mm.

Run the cable through the gland.

Push the cable under the terminal clamp and screw it down, so that the folded over shield
area is firmly held.

Connect the wires to the terminals.

Up to six load cells, each of 350 , or minimum 58  loading can be connected to the WE
2107. HBM provides junction boxes (type VKK) for connecting cables and for corner load ad-
justment for scales with several load cells.

The WE2107 is designed for a six-wire load cell configuration. When connecting four-wire
load cells, use cable jumpers to connect terminals 1 with 5 and 2 with 6 in each case. If the
load cell connection is incorrect or the sense lines are left open (terminals 1 and 2) the mes-
sage Er 68 will appear on the display (see Section 24, page 117).

Comments 27

5.10 Comments

In all the housing variants, the reference ground (GND) of all the signals and the supply volt-
age is connected directly to the cable shield connection in the device, but not to the housing.

The metal housing of the WE2107M is not connected to the reference ground. To compen-
sate for potential differences, the metal housing of the WE2107M must be connected to the
scale structures as well as to the ground potential of the connected devices by a low-
resistance equalizing conductor. This is unnecessary if a potential difference of 35 V is not
exceeded.

Only high-quality, flexible cables with a shield must be used to connect the load cells. HBM
recommends using these cables for all the WE2107 connections. For a connection that
meets EMC requirements (EMC = electromagnetic compatibility), the cable shield contact of
all the cables to the device ground must be low-resistance; the shield must be stripped to
about 5 mm and the cable must be secured with the strain relief clamps.

Electrical and magnetic fields often induce interference voltages in the measuring circuit.
Use shielded, low-capacitance measurement cables only (HBM measurement cables meet
these conditions). Do not route the measurement cables parallel to power lines and control
circuits. If this is not possible, protect the measurement cable with steel conduits for exam-
ple. Avoid stray fields from transformers, motors and contact switches.

Connection to a wide-ranging supply network is not permitted as this often causes interfering
voltage peaks to be coupled into the transducer. Instead, a local supply must be provided for
the WE2107 (even when grouped).

Basic scale functions 31

7 Basic scale functions

All device functions can be driven in one or more of the following ways:

 Front control with four short-stroke keys (of which two, „F1“and „F2“ can be defined by
the user)

 two programmable switching inputs (IN1/2)

 Connecting an external computer via the COM1 serial interface

The keyboard directly controls the essential scale functions (Gross/Net, Tare, Set to Zero). A
menu is called for calibration and for additional device settings. Scale operation is not inter-
rupted during parameter input, right up to exiting the menu. When computer commands are
used for control, measurement generally continues without interruption. The exceptions to
this are settling after filter selection and power failsafe storage to the EEPROM.

WE2107 HBM
32 Switching on and off

7.1 Switching on and off

The device is switched on once the supply voltage is applied.

When the electronics are switched on, first all the display segments are triggered for 5 s.
Then the software version (P7x) or the calibration counter ("check counter", only for legal-for-
trade applications) are displayed. During this time, if the function is activated, zero is auto-
matically set.

The scale must not be loaded when it is being switched on.

7.2 Gross/net selection

Every time the „G/N“ key is pressed, the selection changes between gross and net. When
selecting the net display, the last valid tare value is re-used. It is only possible to select net
after taring.

HBM WE2107
Taring 33

7.3 Taring

Pressing this key stores the current gross value and deducts it from all the subsequent
weight values. So immediately after taring, the displayed (net) value is zero. The tare value
can be read in the „InFo  tArE“ menu item.

LEGAL setting Tare range, Tare range,

lower limit upper limit
not legal for trade -100 % 100 %
OIML, NTEP >0 100 %

The % figures relate to the nominal weighing range („AdJ  CAP“ parameter).

Execution is dependent on standstill recognition (Section 7.7, page 35).

Taring with this key overwrites any manual tare value that may have been entered previously
(PT symbol is switched off).

7.4 Manual tare function

A manual tare value can be entered with function key „F1“ or „ F2“ if this function has been
activated (see Sections 8.5.8 (page 53) and 13 (page 77)).

When the "Manual tare" function is activated, the net value is formed by deducting a fixed ta-
re value.

The „G/N“ key does not change the manual tare value that has been entered.

The .PT. symbol in the display indicates that the net value has been formed by deducting the
manual tare value. This disappears once the Tare key („>T<“) is used for taring.

WE2107 HBM
34 Initial zero setting

7.5 Initial zero setting

If this function is activated („AdJ  SEtuP  AZEro“ parameter menu), the unloaded scale is
automatically set to zero when the WE2107 is switched on (range of zero setting device
2...20 %). This takes into consideration the set standstill condition.

7.6 Error displays

The permissible display range depends on the nominal value of the scale and the set mode
of operation (not legal for trade / OIML / NTEP).

Mode of opera- lower display limit upper display limit

tion
not legal-for-trade -160 % +160 %
OIML -2 % Nominal value + 9 d
NTEP -2 % Nominal value + 5 %

The percentage figures relate to the nominal weighing range (“CAP“ parameter).

The following error message appears in the display when the measured value is

above the maximum display range: (marks above)

below the minimum display range: (marks below)

Additional errors are shown as three-digit code numbers (e.g. Er128). They should not occur
in normal operation (see also Section 24, page 117).

HBM WE2107
Standstill recognition 35

7.7 Standstill recognition

The zeroing, taring, summing and printing functions are only executed if the value in the dis-
play is stable. This is known as standstill and is indicated by showing the unit of measure-
ment. The condition for standstill is that the value changes by no more than a specific fluc-
tuation limit per time unit. With fluctuating (wind) loads or a very high scale resolution it is
quite possible that standstill will never be achieved. In this case, a more strongly damping fil-
ter or a lower resolution must be selected in the parameter setting.

The various options for standstill indication are selected in the „AdJ  SEtUP“ menu, see
also Section 8.5.11 (page 59).

It is also possible to switch off the standstill conditions (but not for legal-for-trade applica-
tions).

The zeroing, taring and printing functions are not executed if standstill is still not achieved 5 s
after activation.

7.8 Function keys “F1“ / “F2“

The user can define the function of both these keys (parameter menu / keys). Each key can
be assigned two functions (short and long keystroke, see Sections 8.5.8 (page 53) and 13
(page 77)).

7.9 External operator controls

Depending on the configuration of the scale, the gross / net selection, taring and printing
functions can also be controlled by external switches (for actuation from the vehicle, for ex-
ample). The required function is assigned in the parameter menu (see Sections 8.5.7 (page
52) and 17 (page 94)).

36 Parameter menu

8 Parameter menu

8.1 Calling the parameter menu

There are two ways to activate the parameter menu:

 press keys „G/N“ and „>T<“ simultaneously or

 press the hidden pushbutton

The difference is the access to the legal / scale adjustment parameters:

Pressing the hidden pushbutton gives access to the legal parameters of the first menu level
(„ScALE“, „AdJ“ and „F_AdJ“), otherwise these parameters are only displayed.
You are prevented from calling the parameter menu if input IN2 has been activated accord-
ingly (see Section 8.5.7 (page 52) and 17 (page 94)).

While the Hold function is activated about the keys F1/F2, the parameter menu cannot be
activated.

8.2 Disabling / enabling menu functions

The parameter menu has what are called access levels (0...4). This feature is used to enable
or disable user access to the parameters. Only those menu items that are enabled are dis-
played.

Access to change parameters is defined in the „ScALE  ACCES“ menu. The lowest level is
zero. The „ScALE  ACCES“ menu is protected by the hidden pushbutton.

8.3 Main menu

To make things clearer, the parameters are grouped into several sub-menus, which can be
called from the main menu. It is also possible to manually switch off the device (see Section
7, page 31) and print out the parameters (but only if the printer interface is active). Certain
parameters are not accessible in every mode of device operation, or are read-only. To make
adjustments for legal-for-trade devices, it is necessary to actuate a hidden pushbutton, which
is only accessible once the calibration label has been removed.

The parameter menu comprises the following items:

ESC sequences are used to preset a printer and are transmitted before the actual printing in-
formation. What is in the ESC sequences will depend on the particular type of printer (see
the printer manual). The first ESC sequence comprises parameters ESC11...ESC15. When
ESC11 = 0, the first ESC sequence is not transmitted.
The second ESC sequence comprises parameters ESC21...ESC25. When ESC21 = 0, the

Filter selection 63

9 Filter selection

The WE2107 has two different filter stages. These are selected by the
„SEtuP  FILt1“ parameter:

 Standard filter (bandwidth: 25...0.06 Hz)

 Fast-settling filter (bandwidth: 10...2 Hz)

The particular application determines which filter mode is selected.

The bandwidth is set by the „SEtuP  FILt2“ parameter.

A low bandwidth has a longer settling time and should be selected for greater accuracy.

Scale resolution (CAP parameter) and standstill recognition are interlinked. If standstill is not
achieved, the filter bandwidth must be reduced.

For batching/filling applications, the bandwidth should be in the range 0.5…4 Hz (depending
on accuracy and filling speed).

WE2107 HBM
64 Scale adjustment

10 Scale adjustment

The scale is adjusted by setting the user characteristic curve on the WE2107, that is to say,
the weighing indicators adapt to the actual output signals that the load cell supplies when the
scale is not loaded or at nominal weight. Calibration weights are usually required for this, al-
though the alternative is to input the measured values, if these are known.

The WE2107 is adjusted in the 0 and 2 mV/V range as what is called the factory characteris-
tic curve (F_AdJ) (for the factory setting, see Section 8.5.12 (page 62) and Section 23 (page
115)).

10.1 Prerequisites for scale adjustment

Before the scale can be adjusted, the nominal range of the scale and other parameters must
be set.

The prerequisites here are:

 The parameter menu is called via the hidden switch

 The „ScALE  ACCES“ parameter = 4 (access to all menus)

 The „ScALE  LEGAL“ parameter = oFF (legal-for-trade application switched off)

 Set the „AdJ  Unit...CAL“ parameter

 Set the „EA_CL“ parameter to the gravitational acceleration of the adjustment location

 The „EA_UL“ parameter = EA_CL (disable gravitational acceleration correction)

 Disable linearization („AdJ  Lin“: diSP1 = diSP2 = val1 = val2 = 0)

See Sections 8.5.10 (page 57) and 8.5.11 (page 59).

HBM WE2107
Maximum capacity adjustment at calibration weight (standard method, CAP = CAL) 65

10.2 Maximum capacity adjustment at calibration weight

(standard method, CAP = CAL)

In most scale applications, the adjustment is made at two points, that is to say, when the
scale is not loaded and when a calibration weight is placed on it. Calibration is carried out as
follows:

1. Call the „AdJ“ menu.

2. Check that the calibration weight is the same as the maximum capacity
(„CAL“ == „CAP“).

3. Go to the „MEAS“ (measurement) sub-menu.

4. Zero value:

 Leave the scale unloaded.

 Call the „ZEro“ sub-menu.

 The current measured value is displayed. The value is displayed in mV/V

(2.0000 = 2 mV/V).

 Wait for a steady measurement display.

 Press the „ENTER“ key to store the value.

5. Calibration weight:

 Place the calibration weight (= maximum scale capacity) onto the scale.

 Call the „SPAn“ sub-menu.

 The current measured value is displayed. The value is displayed in mV/V

(2.0000 = 2 mV/V).

 Wait for a steady measurement display.

 Press the „ENTER“ key to store the value.

Use the „CE“ key to cancel at any time. This will reset the parameter that has just been cal-
led (and this one only!) to its former value. The former value is only deleted after storing.

The two values are stored internally at high resolution.

If the measurement display is too unsteady, reduce the filter bandwidth (Section 9,
page 63).

Then the other parameters must be set.

WE2107 HBM
66 Partial load adjustment with the calibration weight (CAL <> CAP)

10.3 Partial load adjustment with the calibration weight

(CAL <> CAP)

If there is no calibration weight available in the quantity of the CAP maximum scale capacity,
a partial calibration can be performed. The CAL parameter must be set to the value of the
calibration weight used. This must be in the range
20 %...120 % of the maximum scale capacity. CAL is scaled like the display value
(e.g. 2 kg = 2,000, with 3 decimal places).

Until a calibration has been performed, CAL is the same as CAP.

Before calibration, the „AdJ  CAP“ parameter must be set to the maximum scale capacity!

Calibration is carried out as follows:

1. Call the „AdJ“ menu.

2. Set the calibration weight (“CAL“).

3. Go to the „MEAS“ (measurement) sub-menu.

4. Zero value:

 Leave the scale unloaded.

 Call the „ZEro“ sub-menu.

 The current measured value is displayed. The value is displayed in mV/V

(2.0000 = 2 mV/V).

 Wait for a steady measurement display.

 Press the „ENTER” key to store the value.

5. Calibration weight:

 Place the calibration weight (= „CAL”) onto the scale.

 Call the „SPAn” sub-menu.

 The current measured value is displayed. The value is displayed in mV/V

(2.0000 = 2 mV/V).

 Wait for a steady measurement display.

 Press the „ENTER“ key to store the value.

led (and this one only!) to its former value. The former value is only deleted after storing.

HBM WE2107
Adjustment without a calibration weight (mV/V adjustment) 67

The two values are stored internally at high resolution.

If the measurement display is too unsteady, reduce the filter bandwidth (Section 9,
page 63).

Then the other parameters must be set.

10.4 Adjustment without a calibration weight (mV/V ad-

justment)

If there is no calibration weight available, an adjustment can be performed by entering the

calculated values.

When scales have vast maximum capacities, it is often not possible to use calibration
weights for adjustment. As the WE2107 is factory-calibrated to an input range of 2 mV/V, the
user characteristic curve can also be determined using the known nominal value of the load
cells. The zero value is defined by automatic measurement, but the nominal value is defined
by manual input.

1. Measuring the zero value of the characteristic curve when the scale is not
loaded:
 Call the „AdJ“ menu.

 Go to the „MEAS“ (measurement) sub-menu.

 Zero value:

 Leave the scale unloaded.

 Call the „ZEro“ sub-menu.

 The current measured value is displayed. The value is displayed in mV/V

(2.0000 = 2 mV/V).

 Wait for a steady measurement display.

 Make a note of the measured value (mw0) for later input.

 Press the „CE“ key to exit the measurement display.

WE2107 HBM
68 Adjustment without a calibration weight (mV/V adjustment)

2. Calculating the nominal value of the scale

As the WE2107 is factory-adjusted in mV/V, the nominal value can now be calculated in
mV/V. The nominal value of the scale characteristic curve is composed of the zero value and
the weighing range. As the zero value has already been measured, it only remains to define
the weighing range.

maximum scale capacity

Weighing range = load cell sensitivity [mV/V] 
maximum load cell capacity

The load cell sensitivity is normally 2mV/V (at maximum load cell capacity). The maximum
load cell capacity is stated on the load cell identification plate. It holds that

maximum scale capacity < maximum load cell capacity

So the weighing range result is a value in mV/V.

3. Characteristic curve input

If you now add the value for the weighing range to the previously measured zero value, you
obtain the nominal value of the scale (mw1). The characteristic curve can now be input:

 Call the „AdJ“ menu.

 Go to the „InPut“ (input) sub-menu.
 Input the zero value (mw0) at Zero.
 Input the nominal value (mw1) at SPAn.

Scales with several load cells supply the nominal output signal (2 mV/V), if the weight that is
on is the sum of all the maximum load cell capacities.

Example:
4 load cells connected in parallel, each at 20 t, sensitivity 2 mV/V.
Maximum capacity of the scale is 60 t.
 Maximum load cell capacity := 4  20t = 80 t
 Weighing range := 2 mV/V  60t / 80 t = 1.5 mV/V

Adjustment in mV/V does not achieve the same accuracy as adjustment with calibration
weights and so is only used for non legal-for-trade applications, where the accuracy is less.

HBM WE2107
Multi-range scale 69

10.5 Multi-range scale

The WE2107 can be operated as a single-range or multi-range scale.

Two parameters are available for this in the „AdJ  SEtuP“ parameter menu. The weighing
range (CAP) must be set before this setting.

Scale type Parameters

Single-range scale rAnG1 = rAnG2 = 0
Dual-range scale 0 < rAnG1 < CAP and rAnG2 = 0
Three-range scale 0 < rAnG1 < rAnG2 < CAP

The increment for two/three weighing ranges is automatically derived from the rES parame-
ter, where this parameter always describes the increment of the first measuring range:

Examples:
„rES“ = 1d  increment range 2 = 2d  increment range 3 = 5d
„rES“ = 2d  increment range 2 = 5d  increment range 3 = 10d

10.6 Taking gravitational acceleration into account

The gravitational acceleration and thus the scale display, is dependent on the geographical
data of the installation location. The maximum variation between the different regions within
the Federal Republic of Germany is 0.1 %; worldwide, this is 0.6 %.

The function described below allows adjustment to take place on the scale manufacturer’s
premises, even if the device is to be operated at a different geographical location.

If the fault effect at the new installation location exceeds the scale accuracy limits, it is usu-
ally necessary to re-adjust. But instead of this, it is also possible to use an internal correction
function in the WE2107 to compensate for the effect of the installation location.

WE2107 HBM
70 Taking gravitational acceleration into account

To do this, in the „AdJ  SEtuP“ menu, (access authorization required!), input:

 EA_CL = gravitational acceleration factor for the calibration location

 EA_UL = gravitational acceleration factor for the destination location (where the scale is
used)

This must be input after scale adjustment.

Use the EA_CL = EA_UL setting to deactivate the correction calculation. The display is then
always related to the location of the last calibration.

This setting is not required if the scale is adjusted in situ!

HBM WE2107
Linearization 71

11 Linearization

For most scale applications, standard adjustment with the zero and full scale values (inPut or
MEAS) is sufficient. The signal only needs to be linearized (Lin) if unacceptable errors occur
with this method. Linearization corrects errors when scale structures have an output signal
that is not proportional to the weight (because there are mechanical transmission elements,
for example).

¹) Zero and full scale value adjustment is already described in Section 10.

For the linearization method, proceed as follows:

 set the scale parameters

 calibrate the scale at 2 points (zero and calibration weights, Section 10 (page 64))

 measure the linearity error in the weighing range with two additional calibration weights:

Correction is only possible when performing measurements. It is not possible to input known
values.

Linearization always takes place at two measurement points (actual values). First establish
whether the error characteristic curve has one or two maximums (see above).
If the error characteristic curve has one maximum, the first measurement point is put at a-
bout 500 d = e (the narrowest part of the error characteristic curve). The second measure-
ment point is put at the maximum of the error characteristic curve.
If the error characteristic curve has two maximums, the first measurement point is put at the
first maximum. The second measurement point is put at the second maximum of the error
characteristic curve.
The measurement points must fall within the weighing range (0...CAP).

Procedure for adjustment:

 The scale is already adjusted in its weighing range.

 Any linearization that may exist is switched OFF (diSP1 = diSP2 = val1 = val2 = 0).

 The scale is loaded with calibration weight 1 (  display value 1 diSP1).

 The measurement display is noted for later input (  measured value 1 VAL“).

 The scale is loaded with calibration weight 2 (  display value 2 diSP2).

 The measurement display is noted for later input (  measured value 2 VAL2).

 Input all four values in the „AdJ  Lin“ menu.

12 Legal-for-trade applications

Once the scale parameters are set and the scale adjusted in the „AdJ“ menu, the WE2107
must be set to legal-for-trade applications (OIML or NTEP) using the „ ScALE  LEGAL“
menu commands. This protects the legal-for-trade parameters against further change and
the legal-for-trade counter, which cannot be reset, increases by one.

The WE2107 does not check whether the parameter settings made are valid under OIML
R76 or NTEP!

The legal-for-trade counter can be read in the Information menu (Section 8.5.1, page 42).

Fill out the supplied insertion strip in accordance with the set application and insert in the
front foil. Attaching the calibration label then secures the hidden switch and the insertion
strip.

The calibration label is attached by the weights and measures office in compliance with the
relevant national legislation.
The parameter menu can now only be called using the two keys „G/N“ and „>T<“.

WE2107 HBM
76 Legal-for-trade applications

If the scale has to be re-adjusted or new parameters have to be set that are relevant to cali-
bration, proceed as follows:

 Remove the calibration label and the insertion strip.

 Call the parameter menu via the hidden key.

 Change the „ScALE  LEGAL“ parameter to OFF.

 Set the „ScALE  ACCES“ parameter to 4.

Setting the parameter to legal-for-trade applications produces the following display and tare
ranges:

LEGAL setting Display, Display,

The % figures relate to the nominal weighing range („AdJ  CAP“ menu).

The weighing indicators must be labeled and sealed in accordance with the scale applica-
tion. Different labeling strips are included for use as a Class III and IIII non-automatic scale.
The labeling strip must contain at least the following data:
Max Maximum scale loading
Min Minimum scale loading
e Increment

S.N. Individual scale serial number

In the case of legal-for-trade scales, verification must be performed by a nominated station,

in accordance with current laws. The sealing and calibration labels must be attached in ac-
cordance with the authorization.

Counting scale 79

14 Counting scale

When used as a counting scale (when weighing many equally heavy parts), the number of
parts put on is displayed instead of the weight. This is not a legal-for-trade function and is
only available if the relevant setting is made in the parameter menu
(„ScALE  Funct“ = StAnd).

The decimal point of the right digit position shows the standstill conditions (the unit is not
displayed).

Activating the counting scale control functions

The counting scale functions are activated using keys „F1“ and „F2“. Two functions have
been implemented:

Function F1 or F2

Description Display

Counting scale ON/OFF C_on

Counting scale: Input number of reference pieces and measure refer- C_inP
ence pieces

It is advisable to assign the function C_inP (reference measurement) to a function key with a
long keystroke.

Activating the counting scale function (reference measurement)

Operation:
1. (Optional): Put a tank on and tare „>T<“.

2. Put the reference number of pieces of the parts to be counted into the tank (for example,
25 pieces).

3. Operate the device as shown in Figure 14-1 (The reference number of pieces is input in
the same way as described in Section 8.4.2 (page 39), numeric input). Numeric input is
concluded with „ENTER“ and the reference measurement is displayed (= weight of the
parts put on). At standstill, store the reference measurement with the „ENTER“ key and
the device then goes to counting scale mode.

Linking the WE2107 to the printer 83

The WE2107 has two communications protocols to the printer:

 P_dtr = hardware protocol, driven by the DTR signal

 P_dc1 = software protocol, driven by DC1/DC3

Two escape sequences can be programmed to set the printer („Prt_S“ menu, Section 8.5.6
(page 50), see also Part 2 of the WE2107 manual).

ESC sequences are used to preset a printer and are transmitted before the actual printing in-
formation. What is in the ESC sequences will depend on the particular type of printer (see
the printer manual).

What is printed out depends on the operating state of the scale and always corresponds to
what is shown on the display.

Printing only takes place when there is standstill, so the unit of measurement is always prin-
ted out. With non legal-for-trade applications, printing can take place as often as required.

With a legal-for-trade setting, the printout cannot be repeated. There must be a change in
weight and a renewed standstill before there can be a new printout. There is no printing out-
side the display limits.

94 Function of the digital inputs

17 Function of the digital inputs

The WE2107 has two digital inputs that can be assigned different functions.

 Operating the scale with external operator controls (on a vehicle scale, for example)

 PLC control

 Using a tilt switch to monitor scale installation

 Disabling all parameters

The input connection is described in Section 5.7 (page 25).

The menu to assign a function to each input is described in Section 8.5.7 (page 52). The
function is also dependent of the mode of operation of the scale („ScALE  Funct“ parame-
ter).

Digital input IN1:

Parameters Function for a non-automatic scale

„InPut  inP_1“ („ScALE  Funct“ = „StAnd“)

Input function - taring:

Standard mode of scale operation:

The input acts as a tare key (see Section 7.3, page 33). A short high-low-high pulse is all
that is needed to activate it (minimum length 10 ms).

In the Dosing mode of scale operation, this function is fixed as the start/stop input for the
dosing and filling function.
A short high-low-high pulse is all that is needed to activate it (minimum length 10 ms). As
soon as it is activated, the relevant digital outputs become inactive.

Input function - printing:

The print function must be set (Section 15, page 82) and the protocol to be printed selected
in the „Print  rESLt  Prt” menu (Section 8.5.2, page 43) before this function can be used.

Input function - scale tilted:

A tilt sensor can be connected here. If the scale tilts too far, this should activate the input, so
that the measurement errors do not get too big. A delay time can be set for the display (Sec-
tion 8.5.7 (page 52), „inPut  t_dLY” parameters).

Function of the digital outputs 97

18 Function of the digital outputs

The WE2107 has four programmable switching outputs. The basic function is defined by the
„ScALE  Funct“ menu (see Section 8.5.10, page 57):

„ScALE  Funct“ Function see Section

menu
Stand Limit values with hysteresis 19 (page 98)
FILL1/2/3 Filling / dosing control 20 (page 99)

The control outputs of the device are implemented as high-side outputs, switching to the de-
vice ground. The table below explains the level assignment.

Output Output voltage level

inactive Low
active High

Loads (relays, lamps, etc.), are to be switched to ground (see Section 5.5, page 24). A free-
wheeling diode must be switched in parallel for inductive loads (e.g. relay).

If there is excess current, the particular output switches off. The WE2107 detects this state
and generates a relevant error message (see Section 24, page 117). To reset the thermal
cut-out, switch off the WE2107 for about 30...60 s.

WE2107 HBM
98 Limit values

19 Limit values

The WE2107 has four programmable switching outputs. Each channel becomes active when
the activation value is exceeded and inactive when the value falls below the deactivation fig-
ure. The different values give a free choice of hysteresis. The values can be related to the
gross or the net weight, as desired; this is not dependent on the current display mode.

The parameters for the limit value switches are described in Section 8.5.3 (page 44).

The active limit value channels are indicated on the display by the symbols .1. and .2. (only
for single-range scales, as otherwise the symbols are used to display the range).

Parameter Actual weight Limit value Output voltage

„LEvEL“ status level
true below deactivation value inactive Low
true above activation value active High
false below deactivation value inactive High
false above activation value active Low

vation value changed

Loads (relays, lamps, etc.), are to be switched to ground (see Section 5.5, page 24). A free-
wheeling diode must be switched in parallel for inductive loads (e.g. relay).

If there is excess current, the particular output switches off. The WE2107 detects this state
and generates a relevant error message (see Section 24, page 117). To reset the thermal

Description of the dosing cycle 103

20.2.3 Description of the dosing cycle

 Start the batching process (external input / key / RUN command).

 Monitor the start weight. Start is not executed if the actual gross weight exceeds a limit
value („LS_4  oFF_level“).

 Start time monitoring („SEtPt  FiLL  doS_t“).

 Tare (must be activated with („SEtPt  FiLL  tar_t“ > 0), change over to
NET value monitoring. Taring takes place after this waiting time.

 Start coarse flow (activate OUT2).

 If the NET weight is the same or more than the coarse flow cut-off point („LS_2 
oFF_L”), then stop coarse flow (deactivate OUT2).

 Wait for the residual flow time („SEtPt  FiLL  rES_t“).

 Concluding measurement: If there is standstill, the filling result is stored („InFo  FILL“),
the total weight (SUM) is calculated, and the dosing counter (NDS) is incremented.

 If the parameter is „SEtPt  FiLL  EtY_t“ > 0, output OUT3 is activated for this empty-
ing time.

 Stop time monitoring („SEtPt  FiLL  doS_t“), activate ready signal (OUT1).

 Quick message [READY] on the display (for 3 s).

If the dosing result is outside the tolerance („LS_3  on/oFF_L“), the alarm output (OUT4) is
activated. The result (“InFo  FILL“) is OK, if the following equation is valid:
„LS_3  oFF_L” < = „InFo  FiLL“ < = „LS_3  on_L”

If the dosing result („InFo  FiLL“) is outside the tolerance, the optimization function chan-
ges the cut-off point parameter („LS_2  oFF_L“).

Diff : = „LS_2  on_L“ – „InFo  FiLL“ (target weight – dosing result)

Diff1 : = Diff  correction factor

„LS_2  oFF_L”: = „LS_2  oFF_L” + Diff1 (new cut-off value)

Correction factor 0.25 0.5 1.0

The new disconnection point will be stored in the EEPROM.

If the dosing time exceeds the maximum filling / dosing time („SEtPt  FiLL  doS_t“), the
process is interrupted immediately and the alarm output (OUT4) becomes active.

During dosing, the process can be aborted via input IN1 or key „F1“/„F2“ or by the BRK

Analog output (4…20 mA) 113

21 Analog output (4…20 mA)

The analog output connection is described in Section 5.7 (page 25).

The burden (load resistance) is in the range 100...500 . The WE2107 supply voltage UB
must be at least 18 V.

The analog output has a resolution of 10 bits and an accuracy of 8 bits.

After scale adjustment, the weighing range of the WE2107 is output as follows:

Load Output current

no load 4 mA
Max. capacity 20 mA

The input value of the current output is the gross value. A switch between Gross and Net
has no influence to the output current.

There is no need to make a setting (done by HBM default settings).

22 Alibi and calibration memory

The WE2107 is equipped with a large EEPROM in which to store the legal-for-trade parame-
ters. Each time there is a printout, this memory also stores the most important information of
the print protocol (alibi memory, only if the legal for trade switch is set to
LEGAL = OIML / NTEP).

The time and clock has to be set before storing parameter or printing (see Sections 8.5.6
(page 50) and 15 (page 82)).

WE2107 HBM
114 Calibration memory

Each time there is a new adjustment, a new record is written to the EEPROM.

It is possible to read this information with the WE2107 panel program. A special read com-
mand is needed for access to these records within the EEPROM.

Set nb. 0 is used as HBM’s default setting. The sets 1…32 are used for storing customers
parameters.

Alibi memory 115

22.2 Alibi memory

The alibi memory contains up to 8,000 records of the last printouts. A record contains the fol-
lowing data:

 print number

 date

 time

 gross value

 tare value

 unit

 decimal point

The entire memory is organized as a FIFO memory (First in / First out). Each time there is a
printout (apart from a parameter printout), a new data record is stored (valid only if legal for
trade switch is set to LEGAL = OIML/NTEP).

It is possible to read this information with the WE2107 panel program. A special read com-
mand is needed for access to these records within the EEPROM.

This function is useful, as it allows you to compare a printed sheet with this information.

23 Parameter factory settings

When the WE2107 is delivered, it comes with specific factory settings:

 The internal factory characteristic curve is adjusted to 0 and 2 mV/V

 The (5-digit) production number is entered

As the WE2107 has undergone certain tests during production, the following information can
deviate from zero:

 Legal-for-trade counter („InFo  VAL  CALC“ menu)

 ADC overflow counter („InFo  VAL  AdC“ menu)

 Sensor overflow counter („InFo  VAL  SEnS“ menu)

 Detecting an open sensor input

 Monitoring the excitation voltage (nominal value 5 V, error if <3 V)

 Sensor input signal exceeds the range -160 %…+160 % of the maximum capacity (CAP)

There are also other monitoring functions available:

 Short-circuit of one or more digital outputs

 ADC overflow

 Error when communicating with the EEPROM (parameter storage)

 External supply voltage too low

 Internal supply voltage too low

Error message display:

To indicate an error, [Erxxx] appears on the display for 3 s (xxx is the error code). The last

Please note the following points when cleaning the housing:

 Before cleaning, disconnect the device from the power supply.

 Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!) cloth. Under no circumstances use
cleaners that contain scouring agents or solvents, as these can attack the front panel la-
beling and the display!

The WE2107 contains a battery (type: CR2032, lithium, not rechargeable), to back up the in-
tegrated real-time clock. Plese change the battery in case of service or recalibration.

At normal ambient temperatures (-10...+40 °C), the battery will last for about 3 years .

124 Wall mounting (WE2107, plastic housing)

26.3 Wall mounting (WE2107, plastic housing)

The housing of the WE2107 is designed to allow it to be fitted to the wall without the mount-
ing elements being visible. The assembled device must be positioned and locked in place as
shown in Figure 26.3-2. As the wall bolts are not visible, the assembly base of the housing
has sloping guides so that the bolt position can be determined by touch.

Two bolts are required (countersunk head bolts included among the items supplied) with an
86 mm gap. With this type of assembly, the bolts are locked in place to secure the housing
and prevent the forces that occur in everyday use from lifting it off. Using one of the following
types of bolt is a prerequisite:

 cylinder head bolts, 4 mm diameter shaft, without thread.

 countersunk head bolts, diameter below the head max. 3.5 mm. When mounting with
plugs, suitable bolts include 4.0  50 mm chipboard bolts, with the thread finishing about
10 mm below the head.

Please make sure that the bolt heads are the correct distance from the wall (in mm):

126 Mounting on a stand (WE2107 in plastic housing)

26.4 Mounting on a stand (WE2107 in plastic housing)

Free-standing scales can be mounted on a stand. This must have a plate with four holes as
shown in Figure 26.4-1 for attaching the WE2107. If the design allows, the cables can be
routed invisibly inside the stand. To make it more stable, the plate should fit in the space be-
tween the rubber feet, or these should be removed.

Hole for cabling

Fig. 26.4-1: Mounting on a stand – attaching the WE2107

Take the following steps to mount the device:

1. Remove the mounting base from the back of the device by loosening the two bolts.

2. Attach the mounting base to the stand plate with the four M4 bolts.

3. Run the cables through the glands and connect them to the electronics.

4. Close the two halves of the housing and join them together with the two bolts. Pull the
cables a little way out of the glands.

5. Attach the closed housing to the mounting plate with the two bolts. If applicable, run the
cables into the conduit inside the stand.

Using as a desktop device (WE2107 in plastic housing) 127

26.5 Using as a desktop device (WE2107 in plastic

housing)

The WE2107 is equipped with four rubber feet to allow it to be located on horizontal sur-
faces. These generally ensure that it stays securely in place and stop it sliding away when
the keys are operated.

It is also possible to attach it in the same way as for wall-mounting. If there is access to the
mounting surface from underneath, the holes for the stand mounting can also be used. If you
leave the feet on the device for this, make sure that you do not over-tighten the bolts and
warp the mounting base.

To tilt the control panel towards the user, fit the mounting base with the curved part upward.

26.6 Panel mounting (WE2107M with stainless steel

front panel)

The device is mounted in a panel with six bolts.

See Section 26.2 (page 123).

The IP65 degree of protection for the WE2107M type only applies to the front!

128 Sealing / legal-for-trade capability

26.7 Sealing / legal-for-trade capability

The weighing indicators must be labeled and sealed in accordance with the scale applica-
tion. Different labeling strips are included for use as a Class III and IIII non-automatic scale.

The labeling strip must contain at least the following data:

Max maximum scale loading

Min minimum scale loading

e minimum verification interval

Typ scale name

S.N. individual scale serial number

In the case of legal-for-trade scales, verification must be performed by a nominated station,

in accordance with current national laws. The sealing and calibration labels must be attached
in accordance with the authorization.

26.8 Notes on the achievable degree of protection

Note that the housing can only be guaranteed to be leak-proof if:

 the opening for the calibration pushbutton and the labeling strip on the front of the device
are sealed (by a calibration label or by the enclosed adhesive label).

 all the glands are tight and round cables of a suitable diameter have been used.

 any glands that have not been used are sealed with the enclosed blanking plugs.

 the two halves of the housing fit properly.
