Installing The Module This section is explained for the environment to install the module and for the terminals of the power source and load cell cable. Refer to each section of options for I/O interface. 4.1. Conditions To Install The Module The module is a precision electronic instrument.
Load Cell Terminal Connections Two types of load cell connection are available: 6-wire connection and 4-wire connection. For high precision and stable weighing, 6-wire connection is recommended. Terminal No.
If the 4-wire connection has to be used, please take the following measures. Be sure to connect terminals EXC+(6) and SEN+( 5 ) and terminals SEN-(4) and EXC-(3). When lengthening the load cell cable, try to use cable with a large cross-sectional area.
( Zero tracking width ) : The value between 0.0 and 9.9 d can be specified. (d = minimum division) 5.1.3. The Tare Function Tare is a function to store the gross weight as the tare value and set the net weight to zero. It is performed by pressing the key. (TARE) The tare weight is stored in the non-volatile memory and is maintained, even if the power is disconnected.
These switches work as follows : Alternate switch When pressing and releasing the switch once, the state of the switch is maintained. Press the switch again to turn off or on. Momentary switch Only while the switch is being pressed, the switch is ON.
(Comparison mass of upper and lower limit) : Gross weight or net weight to be compared with the upper or lower limit value can be selected. (Output logic of upper and lower limit) : Positive logic or negative logic to output the upper and lower limit can be selected.
The value will be refreshed if it increases again. Averaging hold This function averages weighing data over a certain period of time and then holds the result. It is useful for measuring things that are difficult to weigh such as an animal that won’t settle down, or for averaging out the weight of an object in an unstable state.
5.2. State Diagram And Operation Switches 5.2.1. State Diagram The nonvolatile memory always stores either OFF mode or other mode. It starts from the following state depending on the mode that has been kept when the automatic power is on.
5.2.2. Operation Switches State Function and Use The display toggles between gross and net in factory setting. Weighing mode The function key to select a function or use. Setting mode key. Weighing mode The zero key. Setting mode The key to change the selected item or move a flashing figure.
( These value relate the input voltage of span and the weight value.) The correction calculates and corrects for gravity acceleration if the location Gravity acceleration where the module was calibrated and the location where it is being used in are correction different.
The calibration weight value (the current weighing capacity) is displayed and the least digit of the value blinks. Correct the value using the key so as to be the value of the calibration weight Example used. If span calibration is not performed, press three times the key for returning to the weighing mode.
(the place it was calibrated and the place it is being used in). Note When the span is calibrated with actual load calibration, the gravity acceleration correction settings are cleared, and the two gravity acceleration settings return to their default values.
It is possible to input up to four points in addition to the zero point. The zero point and each input point will be corrected to put them in a straight line. Areas between input points that could not be corrected completely with straight line correction or with secondary correction will be corrected using a curved line derived from high-order equations.
If monitoring the current weighing value, press the key. When pressing the key again, is display. Step 3 Placed nothing on the pan and wait for the stabilization ( LED ). Press the key. is displayed for approximately two seconds.
The current data is displayed. Step 4 When changing data, two methods of parameter selection and digital input depending on the function are available. Type Description of method to change data Only the available parameter is displayed and blinks.

Adjustment Of The Loadcell Output Add a resistor as shown below to adjust the load cell output. Use a resistor with a high resistance value and a low temperature coefficient. When exceeding in the positive direction. When exceeding in the negative direction.
5.4. General Functions In this section, the way of pre-setting and descriptions for the general functions is described. General functions are divided into groups according to function and are indicated by the group name with the function number. NOTE: General functions determine the module performance and all of the settings are stored in the FRAM.
It is possible to make adjustments while watching the effects of the digital filter with your own eyes. By pressing the key while setting (digital filter), it is possible to check the weight displayed. Increase stability. Return to the value setting display. - 32 - AD-4430B...
