  • Page 12: Installation Hints For Best Performance

    Installation Hints for Best Performance This section offers several suggestions which will help you get the best performance from your measurement system. Some sensors generate comparitively small signals which can easily be corrupted by the potentially high level of electrical noise which can be created by electrical machinery such as motors, welding systems, discharge lighting, AC power inverters and solenoids.
  • Page 13 When using multi-core screened cable to connect several displays to several sensors, please be sure to use one twisted pair for each display and sensor. Do NOT use a wire from one pair for signal positive and a wire from another pair for signal negative, as this will prevent the twisted cables form cancelling any induced electrical noise.

  • Page 15: Display Calibration Modes

    Meter Calibration Modes You can choose from two main calibration methods: 1. Direct Calibration - this is when you connect the meter to your system and make the meter read what you want it to, at two different points. This is the preferred calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole.

  • Page 16: Direct Calibration - Full Scale Setting

    Direct Calibration - Full Scale Setting This is when you connect the meter to your system and make the meter read what you want it to, at 2 different points. This is the preferred calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole. How to do direct calibration:- If you have not done so before, please select Direct Calibration mode from the previous page.

  • Page 18: Linearization With Direct Calibration

    Linearization with Direct Calibration If your system is nonlinear, you can calibrate the meter and correct for this with the linearizer function. You will need to apply a series of known loads, starting at 0 and working up to full scale. You will then tell the meter what it should read for each applied load.

  • Page 20: Theoretical Cal - Decimal Point & Full Scle

    Theoretical Cal. - Decimal Point & Full Scale This is when you type in the sensor’s theoretical signal level at the top and bottom of its range and the value to display, for each signal level. If you have not done so before, please select Theoretical Calibration mode from the Meter Calibration page AND choose whether your input is current or voltage.

  • Page 21: Theoretical Cal - Low End Calibration

    Theoretical Calibration - Low End Calibration This is when you type in the sensor’s theoretical signal level at the top and bottom of its range and the value to display, for each signal level. If you have not done so before, please select Theoretical Calibration mode from the Meter Calibration page.

  • Page 22: Linearization With Theoretical Cal

    Linearization with Theoretical Cal. If your system is non linear, you can calibrate the meter and correct for this with the lineariser function. With this method, you can enter theoretical values for input signal and display values, with- out having to connect a sensor. First, you must select Theoretical Calibration Mode (see page on calibration Modes) Then, proceed as shown below...

  • Page 24: Sensor Drift Correction

    Sensor Drift Correction If your system is normally reading 0, for example as is typical with platform scales or a torque meter, you may find a small amount of sensor drift caused by changes in temperature, ageing etc. We can automatically correct for slow, long term drift, by comparing your signal to 0 every 30 seconds, and re-calibrating to remove any detected movement.

  • Page 25: Logic Input Functions

    Logic Input Functions The three contact closure inputs on the rear of the meter have default functions which are:- Contact closure 1 = Tare Contact closure 2 = Peak/Valley display Contact closure 3 = Reset You can re-assign these to include HOLD, Net/Gross value display, memory page address 1, 2 or 4 (only if Multi-memory MEM option is installed).

  • Page 26: Logic Input Connections And Front Buttons

    Logic Input Connections and Front Buttons The previous page explained how to select the functions of the 3 logic inputs. You can connect remote contact closures or open NPN collectors to activate these logic inputs. The logic input provides a 5V DC signal. When you connect this to common, a current of 1mA will flow.

  • Page 27: Factory Defaults

    Factory Defaults You can return the display to its factory default conditions whenever you wish. If you do so, you will permanently loose all your settings and will need to start from the beginning again. The calibration Audit Counter will NOT be reset, there is no way provided to reset this value, as it is intended as a secure record to indicate whether changes have been made to the display since it was last calibrated..

  • Page 28: Signal Filtering / Averaging

    Signal Filtering / Averaging You can adjust the filtering time constant to reduce the effect of noise or instability on your input signal. A larger FIL value will give a more stable display, but the response to signal changes will be slower. Because your output options, such as analogue output, alarm relays and serial output are all derived from the displayed value, they will respond at the same rate as the filtered display.

  • Page 29: Filter Jump Value

    Filter Jump Value The Filter Jump value allows you to decide how the display will respond to a process step change. It does this by overriding the filtering, if the input signal moves by more than a chosen amount in one conversion. The Filter Jump default value is 10%. This means that for noise amplitude which has a peak value of less than 10% of the input range, filtering will be applied.

    Last Digit Rounding Up by 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 You can adjust the way the display rounds up, which is useful if you want to display a very large number, but do not want jitter on the last digit. The display can be set to round up to the nearest 1 (no rounding) 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 Set1 Set2...

  • Page 31: Scale Factor Adjustment

    Scale Factor Adjustment After you have calibrated your meter, you can use the SCALE feature to make fine adjust- ments to calibration, without affecting the calibration itself. Example Changing volume units of measure from litres to Imperial gallons You could also use the SCALE to convert your readout from litres to imperial gallons, with- out affecting the calibration.

  • Page 32: Offset Adjustment

    Offset Adjustment After you have calibrated your meter, you can use the Offset feature to make fine additions or subtractions to the reading, without affecting the calibration itself. For example if your weighing structure is altered after calibration and you want to subtract the effect of 37kg of extra metalwork which was welded to the hopper, you can easily do this by entering a value of -37 in the offset value.

  • Page 33: Menu Timeout Adjustment

    Menu Timeout Adjustment The display has a default timeout of 60 seconds, to allow you sufficient time to refer to the manual between key operations. You can make this period shorter, if you wish, once you become more familiar with the setup method.

  • Page 34: Reverse Mirror Function (Mirror Image)

    Reverse Display Function (Mirror Image) If you need to be able to see a reflection of the display in a mirror or other reflective surface, for example in a simple heads-up system, or for drivers reversing into a bay, using mirrors only, you can set the display to show as a mirror image.
