1. Introduction
We greatly appreciate for your purchase of the CAS industrial indicator. These goods have hold excellent performance and splendid properties through strike Tests as well as devoting ourselves under severe quality management. CAS indicator (NT-series) is shaped firmly and delicately designed a coincide with the special requirements of several industrial fields and includes many functions and various external interfaces. Also, it is programmed on the basic of the user's convenience and contains help display functions to be used easily. Before using NT-580A, It is recommended to read this manual carefully and to apply the function application fully.

Precautions
Observe the following safety precautions :

Warning
When any damage or defect occurs, contact your CAS authorized dealer immediately for proper repair. Insert plug firmly to wall outlet to Scale must be grounded to prevent electric shock. minimize electricity static. This will minimize defect or electric shock.

Do not pull the plug by its cord when unplugging. Damaged cord could cause electric shock or fire.

To prevent from fire occurring, Do not place or use the scale near flammable or corrosive gas.

To reduce electric shock or incorrect reading, Do not spill water on the scale or place it in humid condition.

Avoid placing the scale near heather or in direct sunlight.

Attention
For consistent and accurate reading, maintain periodical check by your CAS authorized dealer. Avoid sudden shock to the scale. Internal mechanism could by damaged. Attach the rubber pad to the bottom of the indicator. Elimination is possible.

Place the scale on firm and temperature consistent environment.

Keep the scale away from other electromagnetic generation devices. This may interfere with accurate reading.

Our Dealers : CAS feels that each of its valued customers should get the best service available. Whether its the initial installation of our product, maintenance/repair work, or simply answering questions about our products, CAS Corporation and all of its Authorized Dealers are highly trained to assist you with any need regarding CAS products.

7-5. Set Point Input

The Set Point input is used to set the value of each point for the three step control in the batching operation. The Set Point is allotted according to the designated Item code in 7-4 and can be inputted from Set Point 1 to Set Point 7. The Set Point value can be inputted in the four following ways - The way to input with the keys in the Weighing Mode. - The way to input with the external BCD Code in the Weighing Mode.(Option) - The way to input with the keys in the Set Mode.(Refer to page 50) - The way to input through the RS-232C, RS-485 communication. (Refer to page 41) if pressing the * key for 2 sec, the Weighing Mode is changed to the Set Point input Mode and then the set value should be inputted directly. Ref 1. Set the value of F73 in the set Mode to 1. Ref 2. Move the digit with the , key and then move to the next step with the , key after inputting the setting value. Press the * key to leave the Set Mode without saving.
