(1 measuring point, 1 or 2 force sensors). Amplifier configuration is straightforward with the parameters being set using either three easily accessible keys or your smartphone/tablet. The free FMS- ComACT app is available for download for IOS and Android devices, and makes parameter setting and value reading as efficient and comfortable as never before.
Operating Instruction EMGZ310, EMGZ310.ComACT 4 Quick Guide/Quick Start In these operating instructions, commissioning of the measuring amplifier is limited to the description of the installation procedure, offset compensation, and system calibration. 4.1 Preparations for Parameterization Read the operating instructions of the selected force sensor carefully.
Operating Instruction EMGZ310, EMGZ310.ComACT 4.4 Force sensor installation The force sensors are mounted in line with the mounting instructions of the respective products. The mounting instructions are included with the force sensors. 4.5 Electrical Connections One or two force sensors can be connected to the amplifier. When two sensors are used, they are connected in parallel internally.

Operating Instruction EMGZ310, EMGZ310.ComACT For easy installation, the terminal blocks can be removed from the main body Figure 4: Detachable terminal blocks: use a small slotted screwdriver as a lever Warning Poor grounding can result in electric shocks for persons, malfunctions of the overall system or damage to the measuring amplifier! Proper grounding must always be ensured.
Operating Instruction EMGZ310, EMGZ310.ComACT 5 Operation and configuration Power up the EMGZ 310 Connect the first force sensor Check whether applying a force in measuring direction (in the direction of the red point) on the first sensor results in a positive output signal. If not, swap the two signal wires of this force sensor If applicable, connect the second force sensor.

Operating Instruction EMGZ310, EMGZ310.ComACT 6 Calibration of the Measuring System 6.1 Offset Compensation Using offset compensation, the weight of the measuring roller is compensated and the measuring system “zeroed”. Offset compensation must always be executed prior to the actual calibration. The measuring roller must not be loaded during the procedure.
If e.g. two force sensors with a nominal force of 500 N each are connected, the system force is 2 x 500 N = 1000 N. The nominal force of FMS force sensors is indicated on the type label. You can modify the value with Save the changes with Enter the weight (GAIN) connected to the rope.

Operating Instruction EMGZ310, EMGZ310.ComACT Sys_F The system force indicates which measuring force capacity is installed in the measuring roller. E.g., if two 500 N force sensors are installed in the roller, 1‘000 N must be entered. In the case of a one-sided measurement, hence is one 500 N force sensor is used, 500 N must be entered.
