To Avoid Equipment Damage • Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight. • Protect the instrument from rain. • Do not wash, dip in water or spill liquid on the instrument. •...
  • Page 7 Connecting Several Cells in Parallel: Connect several load cells in parallel by using, if necessary, a watertight junction box with a terminal box. The load cell connection extension cables must be shielded, placed individually into their piping or conduit, and laid as far as possible from the power cables (in case of 4-wire connections, use cables with 4 x 1 sq.mm minimum cross-section).

    1.1.6 Load Cell Testing Load Cell Resistance Measurement (Use a Digital Multimeter): • Disconnect the load cells from the instrument and check that there is no moisture in the load cell junction box caused by condensation or water infiltration. If so, drain the system or replace it if necessary.

  • Page 12: Instrument Commissioning

    Instrument Commissioning Power on the transmitter and wait five minutes until all the components have reached a stable temperature. Check that the display shows the mV value of the load cells and that when loading the load cells there is an increase in weight. If there is not, check and verify the connections and correct positioning of the load cells.
  • Page 13: Calibration

    2.0 Calibration Before carrying out the instrument real calibration, the type of analog output must be selected and the tare weight zero setting must be performed. 2.1 Real Calibration (With Sample Weights) Load a sample weight (at least 50% of the full scale value) onto the weighing system.
  • Page 14: Theoretical Calibration

    2.2 Theoretical Calibration Theoretical calibration may be carried out with or without load cells Note connected to the instrument. The analog output is zero (4 mA for the 4-20 mA output case) when the value read by the cell is 0 mV. Hold down the control knob and set the selector switch to within FS CAL...
  • Page 15: Rs-485 Serial Connection

    3.0 RS-485 Serial Connection The instrument transmits via RS-485 serial port, according to a continuous one way protocol or a querying protocol (MODBUS RTU). The division value will be between 0 and 200000 for load cell signal values between 0 and 10 mV. For protocol setting, see Section 4.0.
