Page 6: Introduction
NTRODUCTION 3.1. Overview The type FAD-40 A/D Converter Series consists of powerful and economic state-of-the-art instruments for static and dynamic weighing applications plus force and torque measurements including digital I/O control. Each instrument of the series converts the analogue low level signal from a load cell or a strain gauge sensor to a digital high-resolution and high-accuracy signal and transmits the digital data to an external PLC or PC system. -

Page 10: Installation
NSTALLATION PRECAUTION: Please read this manual carefully before you install the instrument. If you apply all recommendations in this chapter you will increase the reliability and long term performance of your system. 4.1. Recommendations 4.1.1. Control Cabinet Design Warning: Please follow the following warnings for designing the control cabinet which will increase the reliability of your system. -
Page 11: Load Cell Connection
The quality of the instrument’s ground will determine the accuracy and the safety of your measuring system. A proper ground connection is needed to minimize extraneous electrical noise effects on the measurement. A poor ground can result in an unsafe and unstable operation. It is important that the instrument should not share power lines with noise-generating equipment such as heavy load switching, motor control equipment, inductive loads, etc. -
