1. General This instrument is a transmitter for the application of strain gage applied transducer. It can obtain the analog output corresponding to the load, pressure, and the torque, etc., by amplifying the output of various strain gage applied transducers. 2.
3. Connecting method 3−1. Layout of the terminal boards There is the terminal boards, which has 10 points of terminals. Layout of terminal boards are shown in the following figure.: ● Terminals(CN1) Name of Description Applications terminals Bridge power supply(+) Amplifier input(−) Bridge power supply(−) Strain gage applied transducer...
3−3. Connection ※1 When tension is applied with the application of tension type or universal (compression /tension) type of load cell, and display of “+” direction is required, connect “Green” with Terminal No.4 and “Blue” with Terminal No.2 individually. As there is a case which standard wiring color is different, please confirm the inspection data sheet of the load cell being used.

3−3−2. Connection of voltage output Connections with voltage output should be made as the following figure. Shield + − Warning ● Connections with voltage outputs should be made securely according to the figures and also within specified load resistance. If neglected, it may cause an unexpected failure and/or malfunction to the instrument.
3−3−3. Connection with the power supply and the earth Connections with the power supply and the earth should be made as the following figure. Grounding should be the D class with single earth. Power supply voltage DC24 V (DC18 V to DC36 V) Power consumption Within approx.100 mA D class with single earth...
4. Calibration procedures Warning ● Before using the new instrument or after exchanging the strain gage applied transducer with a new one, be sure to make calibration. If calibration is not made, correct measured results may not be obtained, or it may cause malfunction to the instrument and it may damage the peripheral equipment.
4−2−2. Electronic calibration by CALIB input Procedures ZERO trimmer SPAN trimmer Set the load cell in the condition of the initial load (tare weight). When the initial load (tare weight) is exceeding ±0.25 mV/V at the input conversion, cancel the initial load (tare weight) referring to the paragraph 4−3.
Page 19
Procedures SPAN adjustment Turn on the “CALIB” switch. Be able to get the output equivalent to the calibration value at 0.5 mV/V±0.001 mV/V “CALIB” switch is turned on by sliding up. The voltage output value corresponding to the CALIB value is calculated from the rated load value, the rated output value, the maximum load value, and the voltage output value of the connected load cell at that time.
4−3. Zero adjustment by mounting resistance 4−3−1. Mounting the resistance The zero point adjustable range of this transmitter is 0.25 mV/V(±500 μst) or equivalent at the input conversion. Therefore, when an initial load exceeds this range, it is not possible to adjust it by this unit.
Resistance by which the zero adjustment of ±0.25 mV/V(±500 μst) or more is set can be requested by the undermentioned formula. Rz=Resistance for compensation(kΩ) ×10 Rz= =Tare weight(Initial load)(mV/V) ×K K=146 The table below shows resistance for compensation corresponding to the input conversion strain. Resistance value(Rz) When the bridge resistance is 350 Ω...
