ANNEX A containing installation schematic drawings and connector pin outs comprises of 12 pages.
OPTIONS
a. RS485 serial port adapter for bi-directional communication with a host computer.
b. 2nd analog load cell input board (PCB765).
c. Analogue output 0/4 - 20mA or 0-10V, 16 bits resolution. (PCB 761) remotely powered.
2.1 Mounting
The mounting location must be such that the instrument is not subject to excessive vibrations, heat or
humidity. Avoid direct sunlight on the front of the instrument. The unit has to be installed at the right
height to allow an easy reading of the display and keyboard operation.
2.2 Wiring
Use load cell cable 6 x 0,5 mm2 shielded for the sensor. Use 3 x 0,34 mm2 shielded for RS232C
connection and 2x0,34 mm2 twisted pair and shielded for RS485 connection. .
Table top
All connections to the instrument are made through the rear panel connectors. Strain reliefs are
supplied with the connectors. The shield should be connected to the metal frame of the connector.
Stainless steel
- Remove the rear panel and lift it carefully.
-.Insert cables via the cable glands. Strip and connect cables according to connector diagram in
Annex A
-.Connect the shields of the cables between the plastic part and metal case of cable glands or on
screws supporting
the pcb’s.
- Re-install the rear panel.
2.3 Power
The instrument is powered from external power supply (9-15VDC/500mA) or battery.
As the instrument is computer controlled it requires clean power for reliable operation.
Power supplied should come from a source that is isolated from other process equipment.
A main adapter 9VDC/500mA is recommended for operation.
LOAD CELL : 5VDC, fixed or alternating polarity (Setup selectable) for 10 load cells of 350
OHM each.
EXCITATION
CAUTION : Do not run signal cables together with power cables. Connect the shielding
where indicated on the drawing only. Never use a megger to check wiring.
Never use plastic insulating tape on load cell connections.
Be sure the AC power socket outlet is properly protected. For optimum EMC
performance,
keep the length of shield inside the enclosure as short as possible.
WEIGHT DISPLAY
Six digit LED for the display of measured weight (gross or net), and error messages.
Digit height approx. 20mm LED.

4 SETUP
In the setup dialogue the following two numeric scroll edit procedures are used.
The Audit Trail Counter is incremented every time a weight parameter or Calibration is changed
regardless if the change was saved in EEPROM or not.
The A.T.CNT (Audit Trail Counter) is provided for Weights & Measures Authorities to check if any
calibration attempt has been made since the last inspection.
* Clear A/D converter error (8.4): If enabled A/D converter errors (due to excessive noise) will be
cleared automatically, when the cause is no long present. If not
the unit will require operator intervention to acknowledge the
error.
* AC/DC Excitation (8.8) : AC: Switching polarity excitation, at a rate defined by the
conversion rate. Switching excitation results in more stable zero.
DC: DC excitation selected for the load cells.

EXAMPLE:
Assume a scale of Max= 30/60kg , e=0.010/0.020kg , with 4 loadcells of rated capacity
50kg -2mV/V each and the dead load is 1.940kg.
Loadcell data:
L/C1 : 1.9793 mV/V output at 50kg and zero balance : 0.0257 mV/V.
L/C2 : 1.9392 mV/V output at 50kg and zero balance : 0.0276 mV/V.
L/C3 : 1.9577 mV/V output at 50kg and zero balance : 0.0553 mV/V.
L/C4 : 1.9640 mV/V output at 50kg and zero balance : -0.0022 mV/V.
LC RATED OUTPUT average = (1.9793 + 1.9392 + 1.9577 +1.9640) / 4 = 1.9600 mV/V.
LC OUTPUT AT SCALE MAX = 1.9600*60 / 4*50 = 0.5880 mV/V.
L/C ZERO BALANCE average = [0.0257 + 0.0276 + 0.0553 + (- 0.0022)] / 4 = 0.0266 mV/V.
SCALE DEDLOAD : 1.9600 mV/V . 1.940 kg = 0.0190 mV/V.
(4x50kg)
OVERALL DEADLOAD = L/C ZERO BALANCE + SCALE DEADLOAD = 0.0456 mV/V.
Enter the value of 0.0456 for the dead load calibration and 0.5880 for span calibration.
