Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Site Preparation Requirements The Cardinal Model 190 indicator is a precision weight-measuring instrument. As with any precision instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at peak performance and reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation Insure that the indicator has good, clean AC power and is properly grounded. In areas subject to lightning strikes, additional protection to minimize lightning damage, such as surge suppressors, should be installed. 3.1.2 Electrical Power The 190 has been designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC @ 0.4A Max.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3.1.3 Electrical Noise Interference To prevent electrical noise interference, make certain all other wall outlets for use with air conditioning and heating equipment, lighting or other equipment with heavily inductive loads, such as welders, motors and solenoids are on circuits separate from the indicator.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3.2 Mounting Before beginning installation of your Model 190 Indicator, make certain that it has been received in good condition. Carefully remove it from the shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents or scratches) that may have taken place during shipment.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3.3 Load Cell Connections CAUTION! Disconnect any external load cell power supply before connecting load cells to the indicator. Failure to do so will result in permanent damage to the indicator. Scale Figure No. 2 AC Power (Serial, Isolated 100-240 VAC...

Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3.3.6. Remove the 7-connector terminal block connector from P5 on the 190 mainboard. Grasp the terminal block connector and lift straight up away from the board. 3.3.7. Referring to the table below and the labels on the circuit board for terminal connections, connect each wire to the terminal block.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3.4 Load Cell Connections with Over 30 Feet of Cable For installations with over 30 feet of cable between the indicator and the load cells, sense wires should be used. The sense wires must be connected between the +SENS, -SENS terminals on the indicator and the +EXCITATION, -EXCITATION wires of the load cells or the +SENS, - SENS terminals of the load cell trim board or the section seal trim board.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3.6 Serial and I/O Cable Installation 3.6.1. Loosen the 4 Captive screws securing the rear housing to the front housing assembly and then loosen a gland connector for the serial cable. Refer to Figure No. 2 for an illustration of the connector layout.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 3.9 Re-Installing the Front Panel 3.9.1. After all terminations have been made, remove the excess cable from the indicator enclosure and securely tighten each of the cable gland connectors. 3.9.2. Use a wrench to insure the gland connectors are tight (to maintain a water-tight seal) but do not over-tighten them.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation 4. INDICATOR SETUP 4.1 Calibration Inhibit Jumper Your Model 190 indicator has been thoroughly tested and calibrated before being shipped to you. If you received the indicator attached to a scale, calibration is not necessary. If the indicator is being connected to a scale for the first time or recalibration is necessary for other reasons, proceed as indicated.
