Product Description

TI-500E weighing indicator overview

The TI-500E is an NTEP and Canadian certified digital weighing indicator housed in a durable black ABS NEMA 12 enclosure. It features a large, easy-to-read 0.6" 6-digit LED display and is capable of driving up to four 350Ω load cells. Full front panel calibration means setup requires no PC or external tools. All TI-500E calibration is performed directly from the keypad, and parameters are stored in non-volatile memory for long-term retention. A full-duplex RS-232 port enables data transmission on demand or continuously to printers, remote displays, and computers. Setup and calibration parameters are shared across the entire TI series indicator family, making the TI-500E a straightforward, trouble-free choice for commercial and industrial weighing applications. The TI-500E manual and calibration guide are available in the Data Sheets tab above.

Key features

The TI-500E is designed for straightforward installation and long-term reliable use in a wide range of legal-for-trade weighing environments.

1
NTEP & Canadian certified
Certified under NTEP CoC 94-080A3 and Canadian Approval AM-5800C. Approved for legal-for-trade applications at up to 5,000 divisions in Class III environments.
2
Full front panel calibration
TI-500E calibration is performed entirely from the front panel keypad, with no PC or software required. Settings are stored in non-volatile EEPROM. See the Data Sheets tab for the full TI-500E calibration guide.
3
RS-232 data output
Full-duplex RS-232C serial port supports both demand and continuous data transmission. Compatible with printers, remote displays, PLCs, and computers for data logging and automation.
4
Piece counting function
Built-in piece counting mode allows the TI-500E to be used for parts counting and inventory applications in addition to standard weighing, without additional hardware or software.
5
Shared TI series calibration
Calibration parameters are shared across all TI series indicators. Switching or replacing a unit within the series requires no re-learning of setup procedures, reducing downtime in multi-indicator facilities.
6
Upgraded keypad design
Features Transcell's exclusive upgraded keypad for improved tactile feedback and longer service life. The 5-key layout provides access to Units, Zero, Net/Gross, Tare, and Print functions.

Technical notes

Installation and wiring

The TI-500E ships with a 15 ft homerun cable and AC adapter (12 VDC). It connects directly to any standard analog load cell or junction box with a mV/V output. The indicator supports up to four 350Ω load cells in parallel. For multi-cell installations, a load cell summing junction box should be used to balance and combine signals before connecting to the indicator.

Compatible applications

The TI-500E is suitable for bench scales, floor scales, tank and hopper weighing systems, platform scales, and any application requiring a reliable, cost-effective NTEP-certified indicator. It pairs directly with Transcell S-type, S-beam, shear beam, and single-point load cells.

Add-on options

The TI-500E Plus variant supports optional add-ons including analog output (0–5 VDC / 4–20 mA), RS-485, Bluetooth, and time/date stamping. If your application requires any of these capabilities, consider the TI-500E Plus. The comparison table below outlines the full TI series differences.
