J2, J3 ICAN Jumpers When ON (installed), these jumpers allow the 225D indicator to supply (source) 15 VDC to the digital load cells in the scale. To operate from an external power source, the jumpers must be OFF (on one pin only or removed), and the user must provide 12 to 24 VDC to the V+BUS terminal and a ground return to the V-BUS terminal of the P4 terminal block.
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION All digital scales are connected together with a daisy-chained CAN cable. The load cell connection loop can begin at any convenient load cell, and may continue clockwise as shown or counter-clockwise, if preferred. Note that in the tank/hopper example below there is not a connection between cells 3 and 4 and in the truck scale example, there is not a connection between cells 4 and 6.
Addressing Cells Each cell has a serial number (S/N) marked on the cell. This is an eight digit hexadecimal number. It is also known as the cell ID. Each cell ID must be matched with a cell address. In the tank/hopper example, the addresses would be 1-4. In the truck scale example, the addresses would be 1-8.
Calibration If, after test loading the scale, it is determined that adjustments are required, follow the procedure below. Note that this section describes the procedure necessary to calibrate a Digital Truck Scale. 1. Before any adjustments are made, turn on the power to the 225D indicator. 2.
Center the weight over scale X and press ENTER to take a weight sample. Repeat steps 5, 6 for each cell in the order that the 225D prompts for. (This is the same order as other Cardinal scales e.g. 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 6, 4, 2). ZERO CALIBRATION Zero Calibration does not affect the trimming of the cells or affect span.
SPAN ADJUST Span adjust allows the user to tweak the span of the entire scale at once. Press 4 and ENTER. The 225D will display the current live scale weight “SCALE WT = XXXXX.X” in high- resolution mode. Place the test weight at any location on the scale. Press SET_WT soft key.

DIGITAL SCALE DIAGNOSTICS There are four main components to Digital Scale Diagnostics: On Screen Diagnostics – Critical errors that alert operator from main screen of setup issues or hardware problems. Diagnostic Menu – A set of diagnostic tools that give a technician more information about each load cell.
