SAFETY PRECAUTION WARNING 1. Use a lightning surge protector to avoid the risk or injury to operators and damage to instruments when lightning surge occurs frequently in the working environment. 2. Make sure the voltage of power supply is proper. 3.
1 General Description 1.1 General Description Tuxon-A weighing transmitter is applied to transmit weight in industrial fields, which special features are small volume, plenty communicating commands, stable performance, easy operation and practicability, so it is widely used in concrete and bitumen mixing equipment, metallurgy furnace and converter, chemical industry and feed, etc.
○ZERO: Light on when present weight is within 0±1/4d. ○STAB: Light on when changes of weight values are within the range of motion detecting during motion detecting time. ○DATA: Light on when indicator displays the value of D/A output. Main Display: 6 digits, for displaying weight, value of D/A output, and the information of parameters.
GND of other equipments. 2.3 Connection of Load Cell Please refer to the picture below to connect load cells to Tuxon-A. When you use 4- wired load cells, you must bridge the SN+ with EX+ and bridge the SN- with EX-.
2.3.2 4-wired Connection 1. The signals from the load cells are low voltage analog signals, which are easily affected by electro-noise, so the cables connecting load cells to indicator should use shielded cables, and not bind with other cables, especially power supply cables. 2.
3 Calibration 3.1 Instruction (1) Calibration procedure must be executed when a Tuxon-A indicator is put in use at the first time, the preset parameters may no longer meet the user’s needs, and any part of the weighing system was changed. Position of decimal point, minimum division, maximum capacity, zero, and gain can be set and confirmed through calibration.
3.3 Millivolt Value Display This function is mainly used for system test, position-error test for weighing mechanism and linearity test for load cell. 1. System Test (1) If display data changes with loaded weight changes, it shows that connection of load cell is correct and weighing mechanism works well.
When it is not convenient to load a weight to calibrate, calibration can be done without weights using recorded data in the table in section 3.4. However, this method is just used for some emergencies, it will make calibration result incorrect if load cells, or indicator has been replaced. 3.5.1 Calibration without Weights for Tuxon-A...

Descriptions of Working Parameters C od e Parameter Default Description Null Null The first major term of working parameter. The analog output form : 4-20/0-20/ 4-20:4-20mA;0-20:0-20mA; 0-24/0-5/ 0-20:0-24mA;0-5:0-5V; F1.1 4-20 0-10:0-10V;-5-5:-5-5V; 0-10/-5-5/ -10-10:-10-10V; -10-10/ USEr USEr: user-defined analog output Switch for Auto-Zeroing when power-on, F1.2 OFF: disabled ON: enabled Zero-tracking Range(0~9d optional).
Explanation for error display during manual zeroing: “Error 2”: Current weight is not within the zeroing range. “Error 3”: Display (system) is not stable. 5.2 Display D/A Output Value (Only for Tuxon-A) Under normal status, press to make display content toggle between weight and D/A output value, the DATA indicator lamp will be on when display content is D/A output value.
5.3 Password Input 1. The default passwords of calibration and working parameters setting are: 000000 2. As being protected by password, you must input the password before calibration. During password inputting procedure, indicator will display “0 = = = = =” after a wrong password is input once, and will display “0 ”...
5.4 Password Setting *Note: If passwords input second time does not match the first time, indicator will display “Error” for one second and return to “PASS” interface.
6 Display Test Under normal status, display test is shown in flow chart below. If the test result is the same as flow chart, it means that display and indicator lamps all work well.
7 Error and Alarm Messages ERROR : Incorrect data input. ERROR2: Current weight is not within the zeroing range when zeroing. ERROR3: Display (system) is not stable when zeroing ERROR4: Password input is wrong for 3 times. -OFL/ OFL: Weighing result overflows OVER: The output signal of load cell is too large while doing zero calibration.
