5. Functioning mode Digital equalisation box mode. 888888 TYPE dep.Ch ind.Ch Multi-scale mode. Set the number of active channels. nChan CHAN Select the channel to be programmed (for ind,Ch mode only). MODE 1 “DEP.CH” Allows to connect directly the load cells, equalize them (if necessary) and transmit each load cell data and the total weight through Fieldbus. Load cell 1 Load cell 2 Type...

Broken laod cell exclusion (for dependent channels systems) If a load cell is broken, it’s possible to temporarely exclude the channel where it is connected and continue to weigh, pending replacement.
15. Programming errors MESSAGE DESCRIPTION SOLUTION First calibrate the zero point (zero), then proceed with the preC. Calibration error sample weight acquisition (span) (ch. 9). Check the connection of the load cell. Check that the cell Err.pn Calibration error signal is stable, valid and greater than that of the previously acquired point.
