Page 5: Introduction
• This has the same features as the Ranger 3 with the addition of a 3-range, 10-turn locking vernier. These three Ranger Series Simulators connect using binding posts color coded to the ISA S37.8 standard, and will accept standard banana plugs or up to 14 gauge wire. - Page 6 • Output Range: 0-3mV/V in, 0.01mV/V steps (300 precision fixed steps) This simulator comes with Type 2758 (by Low Thermal Electronics Inc.) precision gold plated low thermal EMF 5-way binding posts for highest accuracy. Standard banana jacks at 0.75” pitch, or up to 14 AWG wire. Ranger Series Operation Guide...

• Dampness, water, or other contaminants on the face of the simulator can cause leakage current between terminals. Keep the face and the terminals clean and dry when using the Ranger Series simulator. • The binding posts are heavily plated, but should some corrosion occur, clean the posts before attempting to use the unit. -
Page 8: Sample Calculations
Sample Calculations A Ranger simulator may be used to perform calibration of scale systems prior to installation, or test installations prior to installation. These are NOT procedures that can be used to certify a scale, but they will provide calibration results satisfactory for most process weigh scales. - Page 9 6. Calibrate the span of the indicator using the actual weight expected value from Step 2 as the weight value (WVal for most Rice Lake indicators), 499.5005 lb for this example. 7. When the indicator is connected to the actual scale, use the calibration REZERO function to account for any deadload on the load cell.
