See “Initialization” paragraph for operation details. Self diagnostic A100E transmitter has a number of built-in self diagnostic features intended to improve the overall operating safety. Generally speaking, when a fault condition is detected, the instrument is driven to a safety condition deenergizing alarm relays.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 3.9.2 Configuration parameter integrity check Check is carried out every operating cycle. If a configuration parameter is found defective, the message “ER XX” will be reported on display for half a second every two seconds, where XX is the code of the wrong parameter, according to the following table:...
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 3.10 Output relay operation The action of the relay depends on the weight condition (gross or net) defined in the configuration phase independently from what is indicated on the display. Therefore, the user can switch the display selection as required without accidentally enabling the thresholds.
Page 14
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) Example: if the threshold set is 1250, the relay is energized for positive new values and for all the negative values from -1 to -1249. The relay is de-energized for values ranging between -1250 and -F.S.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 3.11 SERIAL INTERFACE MANAGEMENT 3.11.1 Primary serial interface The primary serial line is available in both the RS232 and RS485 mode. The factory configuration is RS232 (see Figure 1). RS485 RS232 JP2 JP1 JP1 e JP2 closed in position 1-2...
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) For the RS485 line connection the instrument must be equipped with the driver in U8 and the jumper Z8 must be positioned in 1-2. The RS232 or RS485 selection is determined by the value of the configuration parameter “address 485”: if the parameter is 0 the instrument controls the protocol RS232, otherwise it controls the protocol RS485.

CRC-16 (Cyclic Redundancy Check) frame validation Exception responses When A100E receives a request involving illegal functions or illegal data an exception response is generated containing address, function code, error code and checksum. To indicate that the response is a notification of an error, the high order bit of the function code is set to “1”.

ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 3.11.7 Auxiliary serial interface The auxiliary line can be configured in one of the following ways: ? TCONT ? DENAMD The speed of the auxiliary line is set at 1200 baud. The TCONT modality is used to link with the remote repeaters such as RIP14, RIP51, RIP70 or with instruments for remote thresholds.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) INSTALLATION Material receiving Remove the instrument from its packing and check if it has been damaged during transport. Claims for any damage must be submitted immediately and in writing to the supplier and to the carrier which delivered the goods.
Then, use a screwdriver to adjust the set screws until the front frame is flush with the board. For the necessary depth, consider the length of the instrument plus about 5 cm for the connection cables. Figure 2 - A100E drilling template 492-MTU10006 Rev.
The A100 mounting panel or cabinet must be properly grounded. A100E output relays must be used only to drive relay coils (with nominal current and voltage beyond contact rating and using dumping networks) or logic input or signaling lamps; they cannot be used to drive power actuator.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 4.3.1 Wiring the instrument to the protective earthing system Protective conductor terminal must be connected to the protective earthing system by means of flexible wire having a minimum section of 2,5mmq. 4.3.2 Power supply connection Connect the power supply to terminals “ 2 ” and “ 3 ” of terminal block M1.
The connection must be made in accordance with the color code reported on the load cell (when using ADOS cells refer to table 167-MTSCACOC). The A100E includes the standard connection of load cells with 4 wires. For a connection to load cells equipped with senses (therefore with a 6-wire connection), contact ADOS.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 4.3.4 Relay output connection The A100E can control two relay outputs. The outputs can be associated to digital thresholds that can be programmed as required. Refer to “Threshold control” paragraph for the functional aspects. Refer to “CONFIGURATION” section of the manual for the programming modalities.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 4.3.5 Serial port connection The primary transmission line can be used in the R232 or RS485 mode (refer to section “CONFIGURATION” for the operating modalities). The auxiliary transmission line can be used in the R232 mode (refer to section “CONFIGURATION” for the operating modalities).
For safety reason is a good practice to check periodically, by visual inspection, the connections to the protective earthling system. Corrective maintenance Any corrective maintenance to possible failures must be carried out at ADOS laboratories or at least by ADOS authorized personnel EVERY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE INSTRUMENT VOIDS WARRANTY 492-MTU10006 Rev.
INSTRUMENT CONTROL Introduction The A100E indicator is a programmable instrument that performs a set of functions which can be adapted and/or personalized by the user to implement a variety of applications. These functions can be modified using the configuration parameters.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) Control function selection The A100E includes the following control functions: 1. parameter configuration 2. weight calibration 3. test 4. system initialization All the operations are guided by messages in plain text displayed on the display. The display is used to display/set the value of the parameter to be modified.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 6.2.1 Password The operator access to configuration, weight calibration and system initialization is controlled by keyng of a defined sequence of keys (password). The sequence is: C E N/G T >O< The password value is fixed and there are no procedures to modify while in operation. The scope of the password is not intended for security but only to prevent unwanted access to system functions.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) Operating parameter configuration 6.3.1 Operating parameter selection Entering the configuration from the configuration level selection menu the instrument prepares to configure the first parameter and displays the following message: G R A D Press the key to sequentially select all the configurable parameters (after reaching the last one it returns automatically to the first one).
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 6.3.2 Modifying the value of the operating parameters Entering the configuration from the parameter selection menu the instrument indicates the value or the code of the parameter on the primary display. The auxiliary display flashes to indicate that the instrument is prepared to accept the change to the value of the parameter.

ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) Calibration After a system initialization, the instrument must be calibrated before performing any weighing operation. The calibration operation consists of two phases: ? zero calibration ? Span calibration The two phases must be carried out at least once, otherwise the instrument does not exit the FAULT condition.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 6.4.1 Zero calibration The weighing system must be set with ZERO weight. After selecting the modality: C A L press the key. The instrument prepares to receive the confirmation command and flashes the message on the display.
ADOS S.R.L. Buccinasco (MI) 6.4.2 Span calibration The weighing system must be set with a KNOWN weight that is greater than 12.5% of the Span. The precision of the Span calibration is greater the closer the known weight is to the full scale value.
