Overview
Cardinal Scale’s 825 Gen2 is a programmable indicator/controller with a full-color graphics touchscreen. It is available in 3 enclosure types: indoor desktop, NEMA 4X/IP66 stainless steel weatherproof, and screenless models. The 825 elevates your weighing solutions with advanced programmable technology and it is loaded with standard apps right out of the box, including Truck ID Storage, Digital Fill Control /Batching, Checkweigher, Highway Weigh Station, and Multi-Scale. The large 12” LCD full-color, touchscreen (1280 x 800 pixel resolution) is visible in direct sunlight. Full-color, interactive application menus provide easy-to-use navigation. The HDMI port allows connectivity with large-screen monitors.
The 825 Gen2 is loaded with connectivity, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, high-speed USB, 3 serial ports, and 4 digital inputs/outputs. There is plenty of room to expand with eight option card slots (seven are available with included installed 825-SIB). It has 4GB memory standard and 16GB onboard memory storage with up to 256GB memory storage available. Security includes SSL and SSH. You can have up to 8 operators with one administrator and 7 configurable users.
Internal chassis access is available within seconds. Two thumb screws on the indoor desktop chassis provide quick internal access, and quick release clamps on the stainless steel models allow fast access to internal components.
The screenless 825 models may be connected via HDMI (multi-directional interaction) or USB (readout only) with large-size monitors for big-screen visibility, so you can essentially make the 825 screen as large as you want with a connected monitor.
The 825 features a built-in Web server with Web browser access that gives you the ability to manage files, view weight, run the indicator remotely (using Windows “Remote Desktop”), and view diagnostics on your indicator anywhere in the world. The file manager allows you to retrieve and transfer image files stored on the 825, which is especially helpful with connected license plate cameras capturing in and out weighments.
The 825’s Camera Configuration allows you to configure up to 4 IP cameras and capture images based on the type of weighing: first pass, second pass, or single pass. The touchscreen truck ID storage menu allows adding and editing trucks, customers, and products on the fly using the dynamic onscreen keypad that’s available when needed.
For Digital Fill Control and Batching, the visual hopper graphic dynamically illustrates the level of fill, showing recipes with up to 5 ingredients onscreen at a time during batching operations. In checkweigher mode, the large, bright full-screen checkweigher bar changes color as weight progresses into different target weight ranges (Under, Accept, Over). The 825 displays multiple scales onscreen simultaneously, including checkweighing status, whether it’s connected to a multi-platform truck scale or a tank farm. Existing 825 custom apps can be recompiled to run on the new 825 in legacy mode. Please contact Cardinal Scale Custom Software Dept. for details.
Since the 825 has a completely touchscreen display, a push button power switch is located above the AC power cord for convenience. Versatile adjustable angle tilt knobs on the stainless steel model mounting bracket allow you to position the display where it’s easiest to read.
The 825 indicator is NTEP, Measurement Canada, and OIML approved legal for trade, and ETL certified. It is made in the USA of American and global components.
