3.3. Load Cell Signals and Scale Build Very low output scale bases can be used with the 1203 but may induce some instability in the weight readings when used with higher resolutions. Generally speaking, the higher the output, or the lower the number of divisions, the greater the display stability and accuracy. -
Page 8: Load Cell Connection
RINSTRUM - 1203 Weight Transmitter Reference Manual Rev 1.7 3.5. Load Cell Connection The following provides information on 6-wire and 4-wire connections. 3.5.1. 6-Wire Connection When wiring load cells, use only high quality shielded multi-core cable. The cable should be run as far away from any other cabling as possible (minimum separation distance 150mm). -
Page 9: 4-Wire Connections
This is to ensure that the excitation voltages are fed into the sense inputs (terminals 3 & 4). Failure to do this will result in the 1203 displaying the error code E0040 and/or E0080. Refer to Error Codes page 36 for more information. -
Page 10: Intrinsic Safety
Note: As the regulations concerning intrinsic safety can vary from country to country, consult local regulations before attempting such an installation. Special attention should be paid to the grounding of the 1203 and the barrier system. 3.7. Serial Communication Ports There are two serial communication ports on the 1203. -
Page 11: Serial 1: Rs-232 Port
All connections for this port are on the communications connector (J6) and on the DB9 connector (J1). Note 1: The 1203 supports 4-wire full duplex RS-485 only (ie. 2-wire half-duplex communications are not supported). Note 2: Terminals 1 to 4 of the communications connector (J6) are connected directly to pins 6 to 9 of the DB9 connector (J1) - (J6.1-J1.9, J6.2-J1.8, J6.3-J1.7,... -
Page 12: Multi-Drop Networking
The end devices in a multi-drop RS-485 network may need to be provided with termination resistors to balance the network loadings. These resistors are built into the 1203 and they can be enabled or disabled using the digital setup. Refer to BDR: Set Baud Rate page 32 for more information. -

Page 18: Digital Setup
The Signal Voltages are: • The capacity load cell signal is (5,000 / 10,000) x 2.0mV/V = 1.0mV/V. • Since the 1203 uses 8V excitation, the absolute signal voltage is 8 x 1.0 = 8.0mV. The Signal Resolution is therefore: •... -
Page 19: Direct Mv/V Operation
RINSTRUM - 1203 Weight Transmitter Reference Manual Rev 1.7 5.3. Direct mV/V Operation If the output capacity of the load cell is known, the 1203 can be calibrated without test weights. This is useful for applications where it is impractical to use test weights (eg. -
Page 20: Calibration
6.1. Introduction The calibration of the 1203 is fully digital and can be carried out using the serial communications links or by using the 1203/S Service Tool (Display/Keys). The calibration results are stored in permanent memory for use each time the unit is powered up. -

Refer to Commands page 26 for more information. 7.3.1. RS-485 Termination Resistors The termination resistors required by RS-485 networks are built into the 1203. The resistors are used to terminate the ends of the network to provide a balanced loading. -
Page 23: Extended Functions
Extended Functions 8.1. Setpoints 8.1.1. Introduction The 1203 is fitted with two built-in setpoints with output drivers. Each of the setpoints provides a simple comparator function that can be modified using the LIV, HYS and FCN commands. Target weight, switching direction, hysteresis and logic can be configured. -

Indicates that the command was either not understood or could not be performed. Specific queries cause the 1203 to respond with the data requested by the query. For example, if the 1203 was setup with address 4 it would respond with 04 to the ADR? query. 10.1.3. -
Page 27: Command Details
Required On/Off 0 to 1 (0: Off, 1: On) The 1203 performs an automatic temperature calibration to ensure that changes in ambient temperature do not affect accuracy. This calibration takes about 0.06 seconds. During this calibration no new data is received. -
