Introduction The AD-4406A is a compact weighing indicator that amplifies the signal from a load cell, converts it to digital data and displays it as a mass value. This indicator has the following performance: Input sensitivity: ......0.15 µV/division Maximum display: ...... 40000 divisions Display update rate:....
Installation and Precautions 3.1. Installation and Precautions The AD-4406A weighing indicator is a precision electronic instrument. Handle the indicator carefully. The operating temperature is -10 to +40 to 104 ). Do not install the indicator in direct sunlight. A malfunction or other problems may be caused by an unstable power source including momentary power failure or instantaneous noise.
