INSTALLATION & TECHNICAL MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The Aurora Remote Display Series is the latest development from Western, the
company which first brought LED remote displays to the weighing industry in the
1980s.
New technologies, materials, and construction methods have allowed a
remarkable evolution in remote displays, making them more affordable, easier to
read, and a vital part of any scale system. Aurora Remote Displays incorporate
the most standard features of any weighing display, making it the best choice for
virtually any application.
Like all Western products, Aurora Remote Displays are designed with durability,
functionality, and versatility in mind. Users are assured that Aurora Remote
Displays meet the specified local Weights & Measures regulations for anywhere
in North America.
Western: Engineered for the diversity of the weighing industry.
DISCLAIMER
The following information is for the exclusive use of WESTERN Dealers and
Customers.
Since Aurora Remote Displays are a valuable component of your weighing
system, installation and configuration procedures (as described in this manual)
should only be carried out by qualified Scale Service Technicians as authorized
by Western.
Scale Service Technicians handling Aurora PCBs must observe
proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) handling procedures.
CAUTION! HIGH VOLTAGES are present inside the Aurora
enclosure.
ATTENTION! Unauthorized installation and service of this unit
may void the warranty.

OPENING THE AURORA ENCLOSURE (UNMOUNTED)
1. When opening an Aurora prior to mounting, place the unit top-down on a
smooth, flat, surface.
2. Make sure the unit is disconnected from power.
3. Remove the captive screws from the bottom of the enclosure.
4. Angle the Electronics Carriage so the tabs are at opposite corners of the
Main Enclosure opening.
5. Guide the Electronics Carriage out of the Main Enclosure, being careful to
avoid bending any LED leads. Each LED is mounted very close to the
PCB to prevent bending.
6. Place the Electronics Carriage bottom-down on the flat surface as
illustrated (As seen in Fig. 2).
REMOVING THE ELECTRONICS CARRIAGE
1. Once the Electronics Carriage has been removed from the Main
Enclosure, disconnect the AC power and ground connections from the
Power Supply board.
2. Disconnect the green ground wire from the Electronics Carriage frame.

INSTALLATION & TECHNICAL MANUAL
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect the installation site for properly grounded power.
2. Ensure that mounting structures (walls, pole brackets, etc.) will bear the weight of
the display (Aurora 45: 20 lbs, Aurora 65 & 45SL: 32 lbs).
3. Allow proper clearance for lowering and removing the Electronics Carriage.
4. Use proper hardware, including wall anchors where necessary, when mounting
the enclosure. Secure the Main Enclosure to wall or pole mounted bracket with
5/16ths bolts.
5. Run power and communication cables into the enclosure via strain reliefs (as
required).
