Do not operate or work on this equipment unless this manual has been read and all instructions are understood. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer for replacement manuals.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter General Safety (Continued) Failure to follow could result in damage to equipment or corruption to and loss of data. IMPORTANT Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Protect the instrument from environmental factors: rain, snow, dust, etc. Do not wash, dip in water or spill liquid on the instrument.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter 1.3.1 Panel Display The front panel of the SCT-1100 consists of a display with six digits that are 0.5 in (13 mm) high, six LED annunciators and a five-key keyboard. Figure 1-2. SCT-1100 Front Panel Item No. Symbol Description Units –...
Installation Installation Rice Lake Weighing Systems recommends the instrument and the platform (transducer) be installed on a flat level surface, that is stable and vibration free. Location Selection The following should be considered when selecting a location for the equipment: IMPORTANT •...
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Grounding the System A centrally located, single point ground, such as the ground bar of the electric panel, must be created and/or identified for proper grounding and functioning of the system. The ground must be sized so that the total resistance of grounding is lower than 1Ω.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Connection to the Load Cell The load cell 1 terminal board of the SCT-1100 must be connected to the 6-wire load cell; if using a 4-wire load in the load cell 1 terminal board, cell excitation must jumper to sense, See Figure 2-3.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Operation Basic Operation Power must be provided to the SCT-1100 through an external AC/DC charger that supplies a stabilized voltage of 12 VDC to 24 VDC while connected to an appropriately rated AC power supply. Connect the two power supply wires to the appropriate terminals on the side of the instrument, See Figure 1-1 on page 3.1.1...
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Multi-Range Function The multi-range function allows for subdividing the scale capacity in two, each up to 3000 divisions. Example: with a 10 kg cell platform it is possible to approve the weighing system with: Single range: 6 kg capacity and 2 g division (3000 div.) Dual range: 6/3 kg capacity and 2/1 g division (3000 + 3000 div.) Multi-range functioning is indicated by illumination of the relative LED identifying the operating range;...
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Selecting the Operating Mode In addition to the standard weighing mode, the instrument can be set to carry out four alternative operational functions. Each operating mode activates certain LEDs. To set the operating mode: 1. Turn on the instrument and press while the firmware version displays.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter 3.7.4 Peak Hold Weight Detection This mode can be used to store the maximum (peak) weight value measured during the weighment. Operation If Peak Hold Weight Detection has been set as the functioning mode, the following functions are enabled while in weigh mode: 1.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Quick Setup Menu Press to set channel type ind.ch, transm, or dep.ch. type Press to select number of channels. nChan Press to select channel to calibrate. Chan Press to set decimals and minimum division. DIV.DEC Press to set the scale capacity. CAPAC Press to set the total capacity of the load cells.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter 4.4.1 Filter Parameters Standard digital filtering uses mathematical averaging to compensate for the noise that the A/D converter sends periodically because of external vibration. This filter compensation makes data less susceptible to a DC signal bias error for some signals. Each of the filters of the SCT-1100 are intended to compensate for different types and intensities of digital noise and vibration.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter 4.5.2 Output Functions The parameters of each of the outputs is set in the setup outPut menu. See Figure 4-6 on page Some of functioning modes of the outputs are relative to the specific functioning modes of the instrument; see the Note following descriptions for the details.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Analog Output An optional analog output is configurable at 0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-10Vdc, 0-5Vdc; with minimum and maximum settable values. The output voltage and the current from the interface are proportional to the gross weight or net weight present on the scale. The analog output is updated every 20ms and takes on the value corresponding to the weight converted in that instant;...
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Calibration The type of calibration used is dependent on the type of application chosen for the instrument: independent channels (ind.Ch) and dependent channels for (dEP.Ch), which can be digitally equalized. See the type parameterin Table 4-2 on page Calibration Menu XXXXXX XXXXXX...
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter By setting the divisions of the first range, the divisions for the second range are automatically set. Note 7. Navigate to select the unit of measure. Press to confirm selection. div displays. Press to set parameter. 8. Navigate to select the scale’s minimum division, or the first range of dual range. Press to confirm value rAnGE1 displays.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter 6. Navigate to set the weight unit. Press to confirm. diV displays. Press to set parameter. 7. Navigate to set the display divisions. Press to confirm. rAnGE1 displays. Press 8. Enter the total capacity of the scale or the first range in case of multi-range functioning. Press to confirm.
SCT-1100 Weight Transmitter Communications Serial Outputs The instrument has two bidirectional serial outputs which are ASCII code compatible with most printers, remote displays, PCs and other devices. See Section 2.5 on page 7 for connection information. Transmission of data through the serial ports can be configured in the parameters PC SEL, PCModE and Pr.ModE in the setup mode.
